A Little Saturday Snowboarding
Posted on December 20, 2008 – 2:56 pm by admin
After I got in from clearing off the driveway this morning, I thought it would be a great idea to pull out the old snowboard to see if she is up for this season’s abuse. I went downstairs to inform Laura of my plan and to ask if she would be the camera woman for the occasion. She replied, “Just make sure the car is ready for when I have to take you to the hospital.” Obviously, she has never seen me carve up the mountain.
We have this hill in front of the house that goes up to the road. It’s a nice steep hill that is ideal for snowboarding, or sledding, if you have a sled. We don’t. All we have is a snowboard. The hill continues, but flattens out as you continue on towards the back. I figured that I could get in about 100 feet or so, before I had to end the ride.
I made about 5 different trips down the hill. We got some shots of all of them, but some were better than others. I kept the good ones and pasted them together in sequential order. You can tell they aren’t all from the same run, so you are going to need to use your imagination.
Here we go…
Me, analyzing the hill.
Getting ready for the ride.
Boy, this is steeper than I thought.
Confidence is back. Carving it up.
Wipe out.
Man, that was fun. I even sat on the board to use it as a sled. I think we need to go out and buy a nice sled though. It really is the perfect hill.
TYSM I read this one and decided to try it out on my ACER (See, its not always HP with the problems)...
