:AF: i love boarding... i learned on a old beat up board. took lessons at the resort. getting a proffessional lesson is the quickest and easiest way to learn. sometimes if a friend teaches you its hard for them to explain what to do

i was supposed to take the girl and teach her yesterday but i didnt wake up till late...and just didnt feel like going cuz it was soooo cold.

 

yeah maybe i could learn from a firend. lessons are expensive too... like 300 for 5 hours h:

 

just rent some equipment for the entire season. i think stores still do that. just hit the slopes a bunch of times and figure it out the hard way.

i think lessons would take then fun away + i think those rates are crzzzy!! is that canadia$?

 

yes i dont know about doing that wouldnt want to fuck up everybodies fun by having an idiot trying to learn by himself.

 

i wouldnt just go out and have no idea what to do.

at least take one lesson.

 

Been riding for 15 years now...only ever skiied twice in my life.

 

going to tremblant?

 

yeh i was gonna say, you gotta be somewhat close to tremblant

 

any reason why you didnt pick up skiing? did you just start snowboarding and stick with it?

 

Went skiing with my parents when I was about 6 and had a shitty experience so I never wanted to try it again.

Taught myself to ride when I was 21 and it just felt natural. By the end of the day I was cutting down blue squares and having a lot of fun.

During my snowboard instructing days I grabbed a pair of skis and went to the bunny hill to try it out a few times but again it didn't grab me in the least and felt as unnatural as anything I had ever done.
