Never got ibto snowboarding but id happily watch the shit out of it.
Try it if you ever get chance Lax, Its a damn site less painful than slamming on a deck. Amazing what you dare do when your landing on soft (ish) snow. :bigjoint:

I love watching it too. Enjoyed the little bit on the winter Olympics. But I get a bit annoyed watching the womens events. I cant figure for the life of me why the women are so far behind the men on half pipe or slope style.

Edit Avoid them indoor places though! Not the same.

Use to love skiing. 4 knee operations...various pieces removed, arthritis inserted for good measure, kind o leaves one a bit para to get back on the slopes.
That's how I first got the love of the mountain. On the old skis, but yeah they aint good for Dickie knees. Boardings not as bad since your not likely to rip knee tendons with both feet strapped in.
I tend to get a bit of arthritis in my neck, especially in winter in the UK but for some reason it didn't bother me at altitude in real cold weather. Probably so cold the moisture levels are lower.
