Snowboarding

thesraid — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:03:26 +0000

Started snowboarding recently. It’s good fun, even though I suck at it! Lorri on the other hand is a natural. She zipped down the hill while I was rolling around like a turtle on my back. I can’t even get back to my feet when I fall down.

Still though we enjoyed it so we got ourselves some gear today. Although I couldn’t find a helmet to fit my comically large head.

First Snowboarding Lesson

So it turns out Lorri is a natural at snowboarding. Me however not so much. Not only can I not go downhill for more than 10 seconds before falling and hurting my arse but I cant even stand up again without assistance. I’m going to keep at it anyway and Lorri loves it so it’s all good. It’ll be good craic once we get the hang of it I’d say. Check out my snowboarding album below (Click to expand). At the time of writing it’s pretty small but I’ll ad to it. I also plan on adding some videos so check out my video section in the future for live action shots of me crashing and burning.

Her response “It’s so pretty. It looks like a clutch bag”.

I miss Germany. Driving on roads with no speed limit is exactly as much fun as it sounds. This is what the Police over there have to keep up with people.

Had a great time in Denver watching the UFC. There was a few people I knew around which made it much more fun.
