Just got back from another day out snowboarding. I was a lot ballsier today than I was last weekend and really tested my limits today. And now.. I am in a whoooole lotta pain!!! I hit and landed a number of smaller jumps today and that was sweet.. I was feelin like a bit of a pro.. and then..... we hit a black diamond. BAAAAD IDEA!!!! I went over a crazy jump and ended up falling right on my lower back after having flown about 5 feet in the air (according to my brother who saw the whole thing) it hurt like crazy! I couldn't breathe for like 2 minutes so my brother had to stand there making sure people didn't hit the jump because they wouldn't be able to see me sitting there completely immobile. Suffice it to say, that harsh landing pretty much ended the day for me! I was doing really really well up to that point, but after a fall like that you're not the same the rest of the day.. couldn't turn very well anymore and was too afraid of falling on my back again that I decided to just take it easy for the last couple hours and head back to the intermediate hills where I could practice carving where I knew I wouldn't fall and re-hurt myself.
All in all.. a really wicked day out there today! Weather was PERFECT!! Something like +4... and 10 inches of fresh powder came down the night before so the snow was really good too.
Can't wait til next Sunday!!!!!!!! :D

And yes.. it IS awesome!! Snowboarding is my new addiction.. my outlet.. my escape...! I'm at that point in my life where I am still young, but I am growing out of the party stage and trying to find better ways to have fun and let off steam... buying a season's pass to the nearest mountain was a great idea! I feel like a million bucks after a day on the hill... regardless of how much physical pain I am in. It is impossible for me to feel stressed out or depressed after being outside in the fresh air, flying down a mountain, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, and catching air and literally being weightless for seconds at a time....... *sigh* I am in love.... LoL
iwonder - yes.. I am crazy. Lock your doors. MUA HA HA HA HA AH AHA H AHA
Lil - no worries! I'm careful... and I'm going to buy a helmet before I start doing anything too crazy like going in the snow park or speeding down black diamonds (at the moment I tend to snowplow my way through most of the black diamond runs haha)
