Snowboarding

Now I’m new to snowboarding and I’m not very good at it but I’m a fast learner and I’ve came a long way.  When I was younger I used to have one of the old crappy snowboards and would go down vet’s hill.  My friend used to work at Apple Mountain so I thought that would be a good place to start off.  The hill is bigger than vets but it isn’t too big.  I started off like a newborn deer.  I was afraid to go fast and fall because I could break something.  By the end of the day I was going down apples biggest hill, mind you it’s not as big as the hills I go to now but it was a good starting point for me.  My senior year I went on the rec class snowboarding trip and loved every second of it.  I’ve only been snowboarding for a year and a half.  Now I go to Caberfae, Boyne, crystal, and tree tops.  I’m still a little lenient to go super-fast because I don’t feel like breaking anything, but I still go fast.  I like being cold so I figured snowboarding was my calling. Up until last year I would just rent boards and boots, but it started to add up in price.  So last year I bought my own board, bindings, and boots, I couldn’t have been happier when everything came in the mail.  I don’t do anything crazy like backflips or anything I just like carving down the hill and getting to the end and spraying my friends with snow.  This year I’m hoping to be able to go over ramps cleanly.  Last year when I went over a ramp I would push too hard off the ground and my legs would come out from under me. I would then proceed so smash my head on the ground, didn’t feel too good, and I would have a headache for a couple of hours.  I hate failing so I would keep trying to land it before we all called it a day.  Last year me and three of my friends went to Boyne for the weekend and rented a room and stayed there, we are hopefully going to do it again this year and make it a tradition.
