Hey, what a riot.
I looked and read page 5 Karl.
The 3rd picture or downhill "right" is an error.
They have the uphill "wrong" duplicated in that spot.
Wow, I wonder if they'll fix this?
Ha!

Just goes to show you that no one is perfect.

if you see a hiker walking backwards down hill you'll know where he learned it. :)

Great! Now I can't walk. I was walking just fine, then I went through that and learned how much complication is involved in taking a step. Now when I walk I'm thinking about all the technics and end up looking like Frankenstien.

My falling has improved since I started my morning paper route.
I used to be able to ride a 10 speed on snow and ice. Now it's just walking. ;-)

I can't skate UNLESS I'm chewing gum!

you would think backpacker would devote a little more time to issues of cheese.ive been practicing walking for quite a few years now and still cant get it right. now how does it go...left foot left or is it right foot right?

KK.... just give him the BP website and he can learn to walk on-line, while sitting.
