On Sunday, after submitting to being hogtied for International Rope Day, I got up the nerve to do a head-first drop into the clay pit. I was a little apprehensive, since I had considered several scenarios of how the drop might play out. If the clay was too thick, I might hurt my neck. If it was thin enough to let me go fairly deep, I might have trouble pulling my head back to the surface, since the clay is like glue.
As it turned out, the clay was really thick and I did have a sore neck afterward, but nothing serious. I barely sank past my shoulders when I hit the clay. I had 2 video cameras recording the event, although it was somewhat anticlimactic. I’m not quite sure what to do with the video. I don’t feel like it is worthy of selling, but it’s too long to host here. I think I’ll upload it to deepsinkingguys and create a really short version for my blog.
I still have some other things to try in the clay pit. At least I don’t have to wait for a low tide to take advantage of the clay pit. Hang in there, everyone!
Did you submit any photos to the International Rope Day website? I checked it out briefly, but didn’t see anything from you.
I did not submit any photos, but I was the one who was hogtied at the feet of the lady, sitting in the rocking chair with the newspaper. 🙂
I looked at that photo and thought to myself, “that is Doug”….then I thought, no that can’t be.
Nicely done…in white underwear…
