The BB of C Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I've wanted to try snowboarding the past couple years. Right now I'm a speed skiier. Another snow day for me today. Anyone up for a race?
karatekid1975 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I'm game. But I'll lose. I'm still a rookie at snowboarding LOL. But I love it. You should rent some gear and try it. If you don't like it, then you didn't waste money on gear. If you do, then you will have to buy it. But it's totally worth it. And you'll pick it up really quick since you already ski. Laurie F
The BB of C Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I had a feeling I might but I just haven't had a chance to try it. So far I've never been beaten in a race.
baronbvp Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 I grew up skateboarding, surfing, and skiing. I tried snowboarding and loved the motion and carving the snow. But I fell a fair amount and it hurt. I also don't like the way the bindings don't pop, putting your knees at risk.Since I can ski all day without falling, I decided this old dog would skip the new trick this time around, so a skier I remain. Maybe in my next lifetime... Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move.
baronbvp Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 My kids just got tomorrow off as well for ice, and classes are already canceled this weekend! That means no MT for 2+ weeks! I'm dying.With that, my kids just ended up with a 6-day vacation with the upcoming 3-day weekend. Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move.
karatekid1975 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I fell A LOT the first day I was learning to snowboard. Yea, it hurt. But I got right back up on the darned thing and kept trying. Then finally going down the mountain without falling was so exciting. I was hooked. In fact I'm going to the mountain tomorrow. YAY! I can't wait. Laurie F

karatekid1975 Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Go dude! Try it. Falling is a major factor, but so much fun. I am a wimp and it didn't make me stay away from snowboarding. It's a blast. Go for it! Laurie F
