>>2684620gonna copy my post from /xs/ since its dead af.
just got back from boarding at kirkwood. been going up every week since the runs open. was fun but had some spectacular wipeouts due to icy hard pack and skill issues. really working on carving but as soon as im on top of that edge i either skid out or i try to shift into the turn and catch my edge. hurts like a bitch. rang my bell a few times this season. thank god for protective gear. cant believe ive never done this sport. i used to hate winter and now i love it. i havent been this passionate about something in a really long time.
oh and my gear came in. been working with borrowed stuff and milsurp shit but looking forward to the qol upgrade now that i have snowboard specific stuff. considering getting a new board since the one im using is a really basic model for 09 or something and im starting to notice little things that i think might be bad equipment instead of only my shitty skills (randomly digging into crud and bucking, no edge hold, mad chatter at even moderate speed on hard pack)
this is my first season and i gotta ask: why are girls in ski clothes so sexy? its literally the most clothes a person could feasibly wear.
