Snowboarding

Me doing freestyle before changing to the snowboard (yeah right!)

I went snowboarding yesterday with a mate, other than a discussion on the way down which I missed the turn-off because of, I had an excellent time. We completed parts 1 & 2 which show you the basics of balance, setting off backwards and forwards, basic turns etc. We need to go back and do 3 & 4 then we will be let loose on our own on the main slope. We had to make do with the nursery slope yesterday.

I think I did fairly well, could stay up fine by the end but I did have to throw myself to the floor a couple of times near the end to stop myself from taking out a line of skiers who were side stepping up the slope (that's my excuse). It would of been funny if I had caught them though. It would of been a domino effect with them falling over one after the other, I know I'm evil ;-)

I've got a few aches today but nothing too major, it will probably be tomorrow when I can't move!
