I've been boarding, on and off, for close to five years now. I sold my board a year and a half ago, and didn't snowboard once last winter. I'm beginning to realize that was one of my biggest mistakes. I never should have sold my shit. I never should have taken a year off. I've missed it so much. I cannot wait for the first snowfall (or low temps for artifical). I have never been this stoked to get out there. Ever. Never have I felt so unbelievably ambitious to get out there and show the world what I got. I'm all about the speed. I love plummeting down the slope as fast I can possibly move; carving and and out of obstacles, spraying snow everywhere--especially in powder.

I'm not an arrogant person in the last bit. I find cockiness one of the most obnoxious characteristics one can possess. But I will admit, after boarding for a good three years I learned how to do it with great control. As I mentioned, I haven't been out on the slopes in close to two years, but I guarantee when I get out there this year I'll be as smooth and as crisp as always. I've never been much of a freestyler, but that is going to change. I was never one for huge jumps, rails, and general 'snow terrain'. Whys that? Well, in all honesty, I was a pussy when it came to that. I'm older now, and I have nothing to lose. I have the utmost confidence in myself to get out there and do my thing in the snow park. I don't know what I was thinking, and why I never wanted to get into the extreme portion of the sport. Skateboarding was a different story though, it's strange.

I'm going to board my heart out this season. Again, can't wait.

Whoa..that's off topic. Anyways...I've never once smoked before/while snowboarding. I wasn't really into it all that much then. I will this year though for sure. No doubt. I'm sure it's an amazing experience. I'll be doing it quite often.
