My first time snowboarding
To avoid the mushiness that is Valentines Day, I went snowboarding with my friend Tom in Vermont.
We went to Okemoe Mountain and there were TONS of kids. Which proved to be a problem because in order to avoid running into them on my snowboard, I deliberately fell to the ground and wiped out because I hadn’t learned to stop properly yet.
And I fell alot but I guess falling is a part of the learning process. I did make some progress after lessons from Tom and from Shannon, the instructor from the group lesson I took. At the end of the day, I could get up on my own with the board strapped on, balance decently, and ride the board for a good 10 yards. I just need to work on stopping and turning right.
One comment.
