Other than me screaming at her, Jerry gave my wife her first hardboot lesson. So it's his fault i now have to fight with her when we get to the mountain nice and early over who gets to poach the fresh cord and who gets to ride with our kids. Jerry (toeside arm holding a loaf of bread/ line up your toes, knee, hip and shoulder w/ the nose of your board) it was a good start, she rips now after 8 years on an alpine board.
