Next time I will take some lessons and give it another try. Honestly though, my motivation is not to be cooler, I think skiing is great and love to carve perect lines down the slope, I just like trying different things.

Jim,
Funny how I felt exactly the opposite! I thought the techniques I grew up with as a kid surfing helped tremendously when I learned how to snowboard.
I was off the kids slope by noon the first day...something just clicked. I still had the occassional yard sale, and was going slow, but it felt great.
Honestly, with my mangled left leg and foot, I found the softer fit of the boots and the stance on the board sooo much better on my back
