First Snowboard session after about 2 years !!!

published Tuesday, December 18, 2007

I never thought I could say that one day but yes, I stopped 2 years to ride and for the first time since I'm 5 years old.

Well, anyway, I finally went riding again and was a bit anxious to see how  it would go as my last experience finished with a fucked knee and no proper walking for 1 month + 6 month before getting it fixed.

So it was really good, the snow was great, the station was absolutely empty so all good. After a bit a warming up and getting confidence back I've tried some small flat tricks like 180° both side, flat spins, olli grab, facky olli, ... I then tried some small air jumps on way break (Is that English ? Well just a small break, no real kicker yet) and after 2-3 tried I was really satisfied to land my 360° again, as well as couple of grabs.

I really hope to get back riding soon and hopefully with good powder to try some down head tricks like Front Flip, Cross Crew, Rodeo, ...
