This is my second time doing the reverse layout of Thunderhill West and I've beaten my previous PB by over two seconds! The CW layout is still really trippy and there certainly are moments where I can shave off some time. Unfortunately, the next day after filming this, my transmission blew up on the third session and I had to call it a day. Nevertheless, OnGrid threw an awesome weekend and I'm happy to have had so much fun.

Session hosted by OnGrid on 3/6/21.
