just got back from...
« 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

Brakes have started to bite again have they?  ::)


You were supposed to be removing that stereo and dropping it round here - get on with it!

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!
