Nah, I’ll get a hang of it once I go enough times. This will be my 3rd time. The main reason for the gear is because of my back. Yes it’s f’ed up, but I’m not going to let it stop me from being active. Too many people do that and end up leading very unhealthy life styles.

:facepalm is right lol. It takes time. Being good at something usually doesn’t happen over night. Took me a while to get good at basketball, good at volleyball, etc. Snowboarding is no different. This is my 3rd time.

I have been doing leg exercises, so I’m hoping the shin splints are diminished this season. And yes, I will be doing basic things this trip up…just to get the basics down.
