Trivial_Trekker 0 #1 January 6, 2006 I was hitting up the slopes today with a few skiing budies and decided to give snowboarding a shot for the first time. Picked it up super fast, but no pain no gain, so im hurting alot right now.... anyway at one point I caught my toe edge on a really steep slope and for what ever reason when I hit the ground, I immediatly went into the arch and then tracked all way down. My firend who was watching died with laughter. Just thought I'd share my day with u guys/gals.. p.s It maybe be a good way to keep current durring the winter p.p.s. u need slippery jacket for it to work well .

NWFlyer 2 #2 January 6, 2006 I usually PLF when I hit the ground. It's a little more difficult with a board strapped to your feet, but almost as effective.

NWFlyer 2 #4 January 6, 2006 PLF= parachute landing fall. Stick with this sport, you'll learn it. Learn to do it well and it'll save your ass ...and arms ....and legs."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

davedlg 0 #5 January 6, 2006 Yup..The first time on a snowboard is definatly a painful experience..espically when you catch the toe edge. Fortunatly, the learning curve for snowboarding is much steeper then skiing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #9 January 6, 2006 Yep..........I finally got BACK on a snowboard after something like a 12 year lay off. Within 30 minutes I was back zooming down the slopes and taking at least small jumps. I realized something though. Like many other sports I used to do.........it just doesn't have shit on skydiving.
