philpjo Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yesterday was my first time on a carving board. Live in Ottawa, (Canada). Skied all through my youth till I was 20. Skied about 10 times since and tried snowboarding (aka sliding) twice. Went to a little rinky dink hill outside of Ottawa. Got my boots and bindings off of BOL (Thanks Eric and Greg). I don't think I've ever had so much fun in one afternoon in my life!! wipe out a hundred times, made it top to bottom (only takes about 45 seconds) without falling only twice. Had a great conversation with a 6 year old (who was also learning) about how much fun it was. Why didn't I get into this YEARS ago?? Thanks to Loopback for getting me into this. Hope I can board till I'm 80. I will NEVER ski again. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.T. Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Congratulations and welcome to the dark side! Hope I can board till I'm 80.BTW - there is a gentleman who has been as SES the last several years. His is a WWII veteran, 82 years young, and tears up the hill on an alpine board. He is amazing!
