They Can Both Fly.....

I have talked before about my brother Sunshine and his love for attempting to fly, multi sports and carrying on in the face of pain  (a few years ago he managed most of a 15k run, 18k bike and a 10k kayak with a dislocated shoulder). Here's him attempting to fly in Puerto Rico a few years ago.
So it really shouldn't surprise me to learn that he discovered one month after a skiing accident, a month that included one eighty-five and two one hundred kilometre bike rides as well as two days skiing that he had actually broken his shoulder in two places. 

I suppose what really shouldn't surprise me more was that he actually asked his surgeon if he could continue his training so he would be able to compete in said bike race.

And it's very clear he's handed his ability to bounce on to his son....



I already feel sorry for what Angus's body is about to go through, going forward.

He was a bit disastrous at the start, but everything he did after that was amazing, he's really good at it.

What a cutie. He's going to be a cutie with some serious arthritis in years to come though, poor fella!

Wait, that comment made no sense, now that I read back - and of course I feel like a pervy old lady! Oops :)

Wow. That's your nephew!?! I'm impressed.

Before I watched the clip though, I was thinking, "Man, maybe Sunshine is actually Superman and Lois Lane's illegitimate love child."

HEy Tinman - I do love the start, though.
Hey Jo - you don't sound pervy at all! But I do feel sorry for his body in the future.
Janie - brilliant!
