many falls, bumps, and soggy pants and socks later....


Snowboarding is DEFINITELY the BEST sport in the world.initially quite a challenge to pick up, but after a few runs, nothing else can truly beat the exhilaration of carving the slopes, charging down at top speed, and at the same time praying you down fall and break something. today's weather in Melbourne, was just wet. Wetness in the city is good, but pelting rain on the mountain top is almost suffering. but when engaging in some as exciting as snowboarding, you just tend to forget about everything else. today's visibility was in a sense PITCH BLACK, just think everything in WHITE. you literally could not see further than 5-8m in front of you.

People might think that cruising down the slopes is effortless, but only those who have ever tried will tell you how much it taxes your quads and your calf, and when you fall over, it hurts your wrists..... but it is definitely worth every minute and cent of it.
