I never did post about snowboarding last winter (Jan-March 2008). I went out and had a blast snowboarding. Since I used to skateboard, this was nothing. Easier and softer then mountain biking. I went out 6 times and got to the point of hitting jumps and pulling off frontside grabs. It was a blast. I fell once and lightly tweaked my shoulder, but nothing significant.
So I was anticipating going out this season. With the economy in tatters, I wasn't sure that this was a great idea, but I certainly can't argue against a little fun now and then. So I finally went out the Sunday before Christmas. I was on vacation and we just got a good amount of snow.
Sure enough I got right back into it. I was only sore for a couple of runs and then it was just pure fun (and cold). But I pushed it and on the last run I managed to fall and bang my knee good. (I knew I should have called it a night the run before)
Well, the weather has waffled like the politicians and I'll probably not be going back out until next week since tomorrow its gonna be C.O.L.D.
