It's been a pretty good '08 so far. Just been spending most of my time doing school and having a good 'ol time with friends. This winter I went snowboarding for the first time and I loved it!! I have been twice so far and I just want to keep going back. I had the chance to go last december but I still wasn't very confident with my knee, so I told my self that I would work on strengthening it so I could go in January or February. It all started with Sarah calling me one night and asking me to go. I was like, "Heck yeah!" She even said that she and Greg would provide everything for me- all the equipment and even the lift pass!! Pimp!!!
I have to admit, when I first got up there to the ski resort I was pretty nervous. I had heard about how much you fall and get banged up, especially the first time you go. Despite my nervousness I was confident and felt somewhat prepared, mostly because of the you tube videos I watched on "how to snowboard." I mean, c'mon I couldn't be that hard could it?? Old folks do it!! Four-year olds do it!! So I said to myself, "This stud is gonna shred some sick powder!!"
Once I went down the bunny slope a few times I realized that the powder(snow) was doing most of the shredding and not me. In other words, the bunny slope was kicking my trash. By the end of the night I caught on quite a bit. It also completely wore me out.
About a week later I went back again with Sarah and she videoed my progress!! (click play)
