If you are considering doing some snowboarding activities
then I simply must tell you about the kind snow boarding
activities that I have tried in the past, and the kind of
activities that I intend to try In the future. The fact is
that when I first tried snow boarding I had only been skiing
a couple of times, so I was really a newbie that was looking
to have a little bit of fun and experience some snowboarding
activities for the first time.
Me and my friends all decided to go out their and see what
kind of fun we were able to have on the slopes, and we sure
did have heaps of fun and in fact far more than I would ever
have imagined. We went out their, and because we had a rough
idea how to ski we were far more cocky than we should have
been but that did not stop us from having the most fun in
our lives. The slope was very quiet, which just made it so
much better. They way you move on a snowboard just makes you
feel so much more in control, however you feel like you are
taking more risk. When you are skiing it is just that little
bit too comfortable at times, but the fact is that you never
actually notice it until you give it a try. It really does
not surprise me that people are choosing to give up skiing
and are taking up snow boarding in its place, lets be honest
you cant actually jump on ski's. So OK, it is possible but
you could hardly suggest that they are custom built for
doing Ollie's. That is why I have to tell, you that when I
done my first jump on a snowboard and successfully landed
it, I was sure to give it a try again, in the future.
Me and my friends all decided that the most fun thing that
we could do was have a race down the slope, and this what we
done. I was actually very nervous, as I was very anxious to
win, but I knew if the worst came to the worst then I could
always say that I tried my best, and trying my best is
certainly what I done. Over the next minutes as we went done
one of the most daring runs on one of our first times I was
sure that I was going to win. That is not to say that I was,
I could have hit a tree, or took a wrong turn and in the end
I done the later. I lost and I was gutted, but the
exhilaration just meant that I wanted to do more. I proposed
doing it again, and everybody was up for it. It was the fact
that when we done the first run, we had managed to grab some
"Air-time" and I can assure you if you think that is good on
ski's you have experienced nothing yet.
The main problem with doing this run was that we were
failing to abide by the rules of the slope with aggressive
turning and twisting. The last run my friend Alan actually
pushed Collin into a tree for a laugh. Although most people
would not see this as being fun, it was the kind of think
that happened based on excitement and I have to tell you
that this snow boarding day has to be one the best days of
sport that I have ever experienced, and even when I go
skiing and snow boarding these days I often think back to
the stuff we got up to that day on the slopes. I have to say
that skiing just doesn't seem to compare to snow boarding
and it really does not surprise me to see people migrating
from snow boarding to skiing at all. The thing is though we
really should not compare them, I suppose they are both good
in their own way.
