Arrived at home few hours ago !

Was fucking brillinat 7 days of snowboarding

weather was brilliant.
- 6 / - 11 celcius + sunshine all day + 5-12cm new snow every night.
perfect conditions.

Well it was my first time ever on a snowboard and therefore the 1st day sucked a bit.
I had plenty of falls and kinda felt like being completely beat up to shit ^^
couldnt sleep at night since i had plenty of bruise that hurt a lot

was with a couple of guys who were really good and therefore i learned kinda fast.
but first day was basically stand up slide a bit -> try to lean in for carving -> bam crash on my ass all day. repeat x 200

we woke up at 7.30am every day and started our first downhill at 9.15am ... kept snowboaring almost nonstop till 3-4pm every day

pretty intense ^^

the cool thing was that we did really train a shitload since we were all pretty athletic and had the stamina.
on the 3rd day was the first time i could do red downhill track doing drift curves from backside to frontside and back to backside in a continous motion without falling.
Also i learned to do switch from goovy to regular stance while riding without slowing down much.

Well after 7 days of nonstop snowboarding 4-5h a day i managed to become halfway decent beginner.
Consindering i started from absolute zero and have never ever in my life stood on snowboard or even ski before in my life
it was succesfull training and we all had lots of fun.

I even stood my first few 180s on the last day. ( i must admit though that i really slowed down a lot before the jump

)
Now i can do drift curves, front and backside switch while riding , slow 180 and some medicore carving.

some pics will follow but i am too tired atm to upload it.

Snowboarding really rocks !
almost as cool as MMA
