Winter fun

Well, I went snowboarding for the first time in four months yesterday; and I'm paying for it today in stiff joints and minor bruises. Pleasingly I could still ride, though some of the amplitude has gone; it'll take a couple more trips to 'Fax to get back up to the size of airs I was doing back in France this last winter. Did manage a simple new trick though - a double grab (I believe known as the 'Truckdriver') Basically both hands on the frontside edge of the board at once - or touching my toes as Sue slightly dismissively put it; yeah, but I was flying through the air at the time!

In other news, looks like I'm organising (or at least promoting) a snowboarding trip to Slovakia, so if anyone fancies going riding 24-31 March 2007 (probably costing £400 ALL IN - barring £60 for beer money; 30p pints apparently), you know where to find me...

Update: that's now THREE trips I've got laid on this winter; not quite the season yet (still in the pipeline though) but looking pretty good! Bulgaria, France and Slovakia in quick succession...
