The Second Life Hat challenge

I read a login message that mentioned the 'Second Life Hat challenge'. It was simply a call to residents to upload a picture of themselves in which they were wearing a hat. So yes, why not?

Here is mine:

Ski Jumping in Second Life

After all these years you think you have seen and done everything in Second Life. Of course that's not true: new places and activities are being invented all the time. One thing that has been around snice 2010 and which I never tried was ski jumping.

Yesterday we had a girls' night out, with the management team of Street Whores and we went to the Chamonix regions to ski jump. The Chamonix area is attached to the oldest mainland in SL, Sansara.

When we arrived we noticed a familiar name on the board already: Whotter...

Apparently the little rascal had decided to join in with the 'big league'. His score was pretty impressive too, so he was the favourite at the start.
He flaunted hs first few attempts though, biting... well not dust... snow. That made him quite grumpy, so we heard a lot of cursng and bad words directed at us during the event.

Falling on our backs in the snow was a usual outcome for the jumps. Something tells me that this sport is not for those who haven't practiced. In the end Whotter got himself a second place, which made him happy enough. I will gve the complete results here:
