iSteve51 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 BK needs to run a show in Leadville or Aspen...somewhere upward of 10,000 feet. Set a new record AND give all those lowlander corps a bit of stress in their summer. LOL!! We did a gig in Vail once. About 8000 feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantooth Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Would love to hear reports from the corps to see how the elevation affects their performance. There ain't much air up thar. I know that when I go to visit family in Laramie I'm suckin' wind before I get to the top of the stairs. Growing up in Colorado, I'd always hear about how the elevation affect teams coming to play the Broncos or the Rockies, but always thought it was more a superstitious thing to help locals buy into that home-field advantage. Boy was I wrong. The difference when training with BK in Colorado and then doing shows in lower elevations is dramatic. My lungs felt like they could hold gallons of air. I was shocked at how much easier running block and running through the show were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 We did a gig in Vail once. About 8000 feet. Are you talking about the show last winter? Not only high elevation, but it was COLD, too!! btw, I'd still like to see a video of that show, since I couldn't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herk Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Heck, let's just have a show on one of Colorado's 14'ers (14,000+ feet). We can make them haul all their gear up there, too. Now THAT will show us who the best corps really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
