Mountain Falling

The act of intentionally (or unintentionally) rolling down the side of a mountain.

*Mountain Falling is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by trained professionals. It may result in serious injury or death.

The concept is simple:
As in Mountain Running, you must get yourself to the peak of a mountain by any means necessary...Fall down it.

This can be accomplished in a number of ways:
1) A wave of insanity mixed with a feeling invincibility may overcome rationality, resulting in throwing yourself down the side of a mountain.
2) One may simply slip and fall.
3) An inexperienced "Mountain Runner" may fail to keep their body upright while taking part in Mountain Running.

100% chance of injury unless wearing appropriate gear.

Invetned at the summit of Peak 8, Breckenridge, Colorado - August 14, 2010 (Two days after the invention of Mountain Running). While decending from the peak, two hikers spotted a large snow bank. After taking part in a mid-summer snowball fight, one curious hiker decided to venture down the side of the snow field. He slipped & proceeded to slide over the edge, plummeting down the 35 foot, 70 degree slope. After falling, bouncing & tumbling down the snow slide, the hiker rolled another 20 feet through a bed of rocks before coming to an abrupt stop. Miraculously, he stood up, brushed himself off & began to laugh as he realized his sunglasses had stayed on the entire time. The only injuries suffered were a few scrapes & bruises.

Hiker A:
"Oh S#;t! This is a steep snow bank! Maybe I can try walking dow-(*slip*) Whoops!"

Hiker B
(after discovering his friend survived the fall):
"Hahahaha! That was some pretty intense Mountain Falling right there!"

When falling down the side of a mountain, one is experiencing Mountain Falling.

Mountain Running

The act of choosing the most direct route down a mountain - not on the set trail - then proceeding to run down it at high speeds.

*It is an extremely dangerous practice that should only be performed by trained professionals and may result in serious injury or death.

The concept is simple:
Get yourself to the peak of a mountain by any means necessary, throw all caution to the wind, and hurtle yourself down the mountain like you have nothing to lose (when in reality you have everything to lose). Your insanity will either bring you feelings of accomplishment and exhileration, or feelings of throbbing legs, gasping for breath, and pain in various regions of the body.

100% chance of catching a well earned case of "Potty Mouth"

Invetned at the peak of Mayflower Gulch, Summit County, Colorado on August 12, 2010. When two hikers realized they had only 10 minutes to reach the meadow below where their family was waiting, they had to improvise. It took them 45 minutes to hike to the summit...they made it down in 9 minutes and 20 seconds.

Hiker A: "Oh s#;t! We only have 10 minutes to get down this mountain!"
Hiker B: "Looks like it's time for some Mountain Running!"

When one is in need of reaching the base of a mountain in an unreasonably short amount of time, it may become necessary to take part in Mountain Running.
