Should i go back for lessons
I havent been snowboarding since feb when i spent 2weeks in slovinga,
before that i spent 2 weeks in andorra. I was one of those lucky ppl who had a mis spent youth skating and so i took me a day and a half in andoarra to learn to link turn (lucky me but you would belive the amount of pain i was in... never say die !) .. anyways there is a new indoor snowdome near to me so i figured i should go before i go to tignes next year thing is they have this minimum standard thingy for riding the slope and as i havent been on the snow since feb i know it might take me a good hour or so before i am back to how i usually ride. As such i was wondering if it would be better to got a book a lesson and see what the instructor thought ... any ideas. |

Hi Graham I posted a response to this, but it only seems to appear on my PC... weird! I was worried about the same thing but I went to Xscape and fell a couple of times on my first run but after that I was off. I was actually doing better on the fake real snow than I did on the icy stuff in Norway. Judging by the woman learning to sky on the main slope, they weren't that strict about the rules anyway. What is this new slope you are talking about? Cheers Tim |

Improved by butters? trouble is now i just want ot go back to xscape ... why does work have to get in the way LOL I soon got board of going down the little slope at MK and started hankering after the jumps and rails. I don't feel ready for those yet though. Roll on Christmas where I will be doing a whole day on the slopes for £15 rather than 1 hour. Cheers Tim |
