As some of you know...


I wasn't on much last weekend because I was at a snowboard competition. I think there are only a few of you who know about my snowboarding. Basically, I am a competitive snowboarder. Last year I took my snowboarding farther and began to travel to elite competitions all around the country. I was gone for most of the winter, traveling from state to state.

After such a long and hard season, with a pretty bad injury to top it off, I decided to take it easy this season. For me easy means only snowboarding about three days a week and competing every other weekendish.

I figured some of you are curious about my snowboarding so I thought I would show you what I was up to last weekend.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw2uV8cadvs&feature=related This is my first run, and I am at 39 seconds. I'm wearing a zebra print coat and purple pants.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O0sWQnGdNA&feature=related This is my second run, first 360 of the season so pretend it isn't so horrible. I start at 3:46. I'm wearing the same thing.

I suppose some time I could post some other pictures and videos of myself snowboarding if people are interested.

Just thought you might be curious so I decided to give a little peak of what I do besides read books. Hehe.

P.S. TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! Hehe, happy almost 18th to me!!!

  3. That's awesome. I've never had much success snowboarding despite having worked on the Amped Snowboarding games and having co-workers try to teach me again and again. Awesome runs. Very cool!

  5. That's awesome. You looked great, even with an injury. I've always wanted to snowboard. You should definitely post more pics or videos, I think it would be pretty cool to see more.

    And Happy Early Birthday. I hope you have a great day tomorrow!

  6. That is very cool. I wish I was the least bit athletic, but I guess reading is my only sport.
