Some people consider me a little crazy because of the stuff I do on a bike or a snowboard. Compared to these people, I might as well be wrapped up by a fire with a book and a cup of tea.
I get a goofy smile on my face when I watch this. Most of it I actually have no real desire to do – not enough reward for the risk of me trying something like these things.
I’m at a strange stage of ability level, more so for snowboarding than mountain biking.
My problem with snowboarding is that for me to get better than I am, I have to really start doing things which stand a good chance of giving me serious injury and I’m not sure if it is worth it, but if you stop improving it becomes less fun as well. In light of that I am actually considering buying ski’s. There is still a lot I can learn and do on a board, but I think I could enjoy ski’s just playing around on safe tame trails.
Of course then I would (hopefully) progress enough on ski’s to put me in the same risk v reward conundrum as I am in on a board.
It’s tough. The season needs to come soon, this in between season analysis is driving me insane. I just need to get on a board, have fun and forget theorising.
that first gap to wall jump is insane!!!
