snowboarding is very difficult, initially, but the learning curve is very forgiving. once you can stand up and turn both directions, you have it made. the rest is just working on form. remember, snowboarding is mainly a controlled sideways skid.

Everything he said. I tried when I was in college... One day. It sucked. I spent the whole day on my butt. My pride was more hurt than anything. Said I hated it and gave up.
Over ten years later, decided I was going to get it if it killed me and didn't care if I looked like an idiot. Spent three days straight, got it and have been in love ever since. Still not the greatest. Being 35 when you pick it up makes you less brave. I wish I would have kept up with it back then. I would be doing jumps in the park!
