Snowboarding!

Me & Michael just getting ready to "surf the white waves"..haha..


Michael doing a back flip, I don't know how to rotate the video sorry you have to see it side ways. I have a few more videos of him doing some pretty sweet tricks, but I just put this one up.

So yesterday Michael took me snowboarding, I was soo scared! haha...I've only been snowboarding once before and that was like 4 years ago and I knew i was not very good all I can remember is that I fell alot! So needless to say I was a little bit nervous about going snowboarding because I knew I would get hurt and also probably just embarass myself. But Michael insisted that I needed to try again and learn how to do it. So I gave in and went. It was actually a really fun day! I'm definitely still not good at snowboarding, but I did alot better than I did the first time I went. I kinda started to get the hang of it! So it was fun, I think if I get better at it, it'll be something I want to do more of. I did fall on my butt a few times though and so today I can barely sit, my tailbone is soo bruised! It has definitely not been fun sitting in the hard desks in class, but oh well I will live. As you can tell from the video Michael is really good at it, so it was fun to see him do his tricks. He was a pretty good teacher as well and was patient with me, so it was good that he helped me learn. However he did give himself a concussion that day and scared me pretty bad! He was going off these jumps and hitting them pretty hard and when he got to the last one he crashed pretty hard and was knocked unconscious. It was really scary, he was out for a little over a minute, so I thought for a second he was dead, but then he started to come around thank goodness...But it was really scary for a minute, and I remembered why I don't like snowboarding! haha...but he of course was ok with getting knocked out. The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Was that cool?" haha, which I told him it definitely was not. But other than that it was a really fun day and I have to say I think I will try going again!

I'm glad that you went. It's pretty addicting! The falling gets less frequent the more you go, and you learn to fall so that it doesn't hurt as bad. Tell your friend to invest in a helmet. Mine has speakers in the ears so I can listen to my Ipod. So they're not so bad! And everyone wears them now, so they're kind of trendy! If you want to go again, I
d love you to come with me! I go almost every Saturday. I know where you can get discounts tickets to Park City.
