Amateur Pyramid

[skibrain]

I've been working on my sons/nephews for a couple years trying to promote some pyramid-building.
After a failed effort last year, they gave it another go late this summer. Here are a few pics.

Dry land training and rope-length adjustment

Encouragement from your's truly

And they're off! (no problem this is the boat we used to pull up 8 skiers four years ago)

Climbing

Smiles. Sort of a long way up in the air!

Right on! Way to go! Every time I want to do something like this the Admiral reminds me about my kids.

(I still jump off the bridge every chance I get....shhhhhhh)

Nice work. Still enjoy seeing a pyramid to this day. Here is my brothers and I back in 1969. I will post a pic of my daughters (3rd generation pyramid builders) once I reduce its file size. I will add one with my dad from the mid 60's in the next post.

My dad and me are in this one. Circa 1964. We are the ones on the left of the pyramid, top and bottom. I'm a month or two shy of 8 years old here.

Here are my daughters pyramid back in 2005. ages 15, 13, and 11. One is how we do dry-land practice, one climbing, and the finshed product.
