I dunno how to but I love snowboarding.
Here's a little story showing off my immense snowboarding skillz and stupidity at the same time:
Setting: West Virginia, mid December, snow lodge
Okay, so I was syked. It was my first time ever snowboarding. So to get the basics of it I went down the bunny slopes learning how to stop (I knew how to keep balance and stuff from skateboarding) turn and go faster. So after about 3 hours of that I got a little courageous. I went down the intermediate slopes which were more inclined which caused the person to go faster. And after about another 3 hours, I got stupid and gutsy and decided to go down the expert slope. (**Note: there are no trees down this slope) There were two parts to the expert slope: a terrain course with rails and ramps and things of the like, and then there was a very inclines slope that got the boarder to go EXTREMELY fast. First, I went through the terrain course. I went off this big ramp and landed on my back which was very bad. I could've been paralyzed if I landed the wrong way on my back. After that, I decided NOT to do that again. So I went down the steep slope. So to stop, you have to turn so that your facing in front of you with all of your body rather then just your head. Being that I was going so fast, I didn't know how to stop. So I tried the way I was taught and I ended up rolling head over heels down the slope. When I was through rolling down my neck was throbbing and my back ached. But NO I was not done. I went down time and time again. And in the end, I ended up with a sprained wrist and ankle and bruises in multiple places over my body. But it was TOTALLY worth it. I must add that NO ONE should try that.
