Just a quick thought; as it's getting a little chillier, a little darker, winter is in the air.....or rapidly approaching. Now some people would think this is a bad thing, but I have to disagree, for the one simple (ok it's actually very technical) reason....yes, snowboarding!! I pretty much watch boarding DVDs everyday, stare at my board...all the kinda obsessive stuff, but it's for a great reason, the reason what life is about....FUN! For those who think it's some 'cool' sport, don't be fooled, you need patience, be prepared to look an 'idiot' in front of other people, need a sense of what you want to be able to do and finally some balls! Getting over the fear of falling (generally) is a mental battle, not everyone can do. So just a mention of my Bro in Law, Rich, who managed to get over this mental and physical torture! I've got a spare board (or two), a brand new Atomic Axum Ltd Edition 156, pretty sweet, so the bet is on for this Xmas in Sälen- if Rich can do a cab 3 (a proper one, including nailing the landing/rotation etc) I'll give him the board, if not he'll probably die trying...the evidence speaks for itself....
This was after one day on the slopes
