Snowboarding classes made my rides so much easier!

January 16th, 2009 . by admin

I just experienced snowboarding for the first time in early January 2009.  Before I went, I remember being told that it is just like surfing and skateboarding.  Whoever told me that couldn’t be more wrong.  Of course I found this out after my first day.  My rear end and wrists were so sore that I became so discouraged.  I was with a bunch of experienced riders so I did not want to let them down by quitting.  With that in mind I gave in and looked up snowboarding classes for some help.  I was impressed with what I learned and I am happy that I did it.  I know it may sound like the “wimpy” thing to do, but I have no regrets.  By the end of the week I could not believe that I was riding down the black diamond trails.  I llok forward to the next trip with my new found hobby!
