Took the snowboard to the big hill a block away. Haven't tried to ride down hill in two winters, so I thought that I was in for a good time falling
down. I definitely fell a bunch, but soon I found myself riding efficiently and even having half decent control riding goofy foot.:o The last time I
found myself heading down wrong foot forward I was out of control and found myself tumbling out of control. I spent the past two hours spinning down
the hill switching from regular stance and goofy. Once I got this down, the only thing left for me is to man up and learn the jumps and maybe
rails.:wee:

Sweet! I cleaned up my board the other day, but it's directional so I got back on
the skis :D

Atta boy! :D Keep at it! Learning jumps is a piece of cake, you'll pick up instantly the hangtime feels like it lasts forever in that cool, fresh air.

Gonna maybe bring my shovel tomorrow and see if I can fashion a jump or two. The last time I tried to hit one two little kids who were "chilling" in
front of the jump popped up just as I reached the lip, just about took their heads off.....landed flat on my ass with board straight out in front of
me. Haven't tried since! Kami I'd still give that board a run or two, I started on a directional my brother gave me three years ago. Was a real good
learning tool. erm..... considering I somehow found myself through the bushes onto a gravel pile used for dumping on the icy back roads at the hill.

I read that as... "The last time I tried to hit one or two little kids..."

Oh I'll get to the board again eventually ... I just love my fun skis so much
Last time out, I was busting massive jumps over a tabletop in the morning, but come the afternoon every jumps ended up wrong. I stopped jumping when I
started landing on my head :D
