Title: just got back from...
Post by: tunnie on 20 July 2008, 18:15:22
... snowboarding!

Been a month since i last went, last time there i could crack just maybe 1 or 2 linked turns, and fall over about 3 times  ::)

Decided to take an even smaller board this time at 155, I made the right choice!

2 practice runs getting the feel for the toe and heel edges again, then onto turns, cracked it the 3rd time down, did 6/7 linked  :D

Set the standard for the afternoon really, time after time, did some perfect runs down, doing 7/8 turns in.

Just as i was getting good, they close 1 half of the proffessional slope and opened what was the kiddy tabogon thingy...

Which is bad news cause its all lumpy bumpy! Decided to go down it, followed a proffessional... no probs!!

Only times i fell over were ultra slow speed stuff went i was jumping to move!  ;D

Couple of times caught a bump which made me go wonky for a sec, but recovered!

Fantastic, well chuffed to have cracked it.  :)

To top it off, roads where empty on the twisty sections on the way back, so had a 'sprited' drive home!  :D

Far to energetic for my Sunday! Sounds like a great blast though. Think I may just settle for the 'spirited' drive myself  :y :y ;D

A good mate of mine goes somewhere in France skiing, sent me some mega pictures from the tops of these mountains.
There was one particular one he said people were crying at the top as once your up there is no other way down but ski :-?
I can find out some good places if you want me too.. :y

Not quite, i think the CDR2005 is in the loft... which is not an issue.

But it means i have to move 3 cars to get to the ladders, and i just don't have the energy to do it!
