Snowboard Addict
Only a week to go before we (Sanne, Marieke and I) leave for our snowboarding trip to Mayrhoven, Austria. In the last weeks I’ve become a real addict, snowboard addict that is! It reminds me so much about my days on skates and skateboard. The fear before trying a new trick and the joy when it works out. Oh yeah and the pain when it goes wrong.
Sanne has made a new Snowboard only blog about his trainings and stuff. Real cool stuff to read and amazing progress by Sanne with his tricks.
I remember only 3 months ago, when I told Sanne I would never be a park-boy and just enjoy the POW and the off piste riding. But after hitting a few small jumps on the slope at Montana, I wanted more.
Now I’m at a point where I’m getting in the comfort zone with riding switch, doing 180′s in all it’s 16 different ways on the ground and small kickers. Riding boxes 50/50 and 180′s both side of the box is getting easier every training. And last training I finally did the big kicker. What a rush!
The Wednesday sessions are great stuff! Some real adrenaline (and sweat) streaming and the rush when a trick works is great. Doing something that scares you at first is great mental training. Wondering what I’ll be doing on my board in 3 months time.
It makes me want to step back on to my skateboard and in my skates… Good times!
