Fire

Rain held off and it was a relatively pleasant morning for the first day of August.  We had a couple visitors from F3 Washington check out Bushwood after meeting our New Bern contingent at the Sasquatch.  Hopefully the Q did not disappoint …

Ring of Fire (Side Hill, Bear Crawl, Mucho Chesto variant)
PAX formed a circle and bear crawled on the hill so that the ground angle was constantly changing.  Q randomly called halts for x10 Merkin variations before resuming the crawl.  Variations were Merkin/Werkin/Stagger Right Hand/Stagger Left Hand/Diamond

Legs of Fire

Chest literally on Fire
Inspired by Gander’s Roxanne challenge from a few weeks ago, PAX performed Bring Sally Up.  Q played the song Flower by Moby (better known as the opening credit’s song from Gone in 60 Seconds).  PAX started at the bottom Merkin position.  Every time the lyrics “Bring Sally Up” played, PAX would push-up to plank.  Every time “Bring Sally Down” played, PAX would go down to bottom Merkin position and hold.  Song was 3 and a half minutes with a total of 31 Merkins.  Good times …
