You know what? I think I've had it with this stupid snowboard.
I mean, what am I trying to teach myself to snowboard for anyway? Because I skateboarded 20 years ago? Cause I tried to teach myself to surf, once (unsuccessfully)?
Here's the thing, though- before all of those things, before bikes, even, I was a skier. If a person can ever really say that- since you can only afford to go once or twice a year. I was a member of the ski club at school. Owned my own skis.
So why am I not thinking about skiing when the snow falls? I'm not sure. Because snowboarding seems lower tech? Because all the baggy kids do it? I don't think so.
So after a disastrous attempt at using my snowboard the other day I'm rethinking winter. It's not that I fell- I really didn't. It just didn't do much for me. Don't get mad if you're a snowboarder- it's not worth trying to "convert" me. I've had a couple magic runs, where it felt like I was surfing in three dimensions and all that. But I've had about 1000 of those skiing.
Does anyone else EVER think of these sorts of things?
