BUT MY ASS IS PILLOWY SOFT SO FALLING ON IT TICKLES
I went California snowboarding last weekend and it was quite fun. It was like 10 degrees and many of the people on the mountain were in t-shirts and shorts. Aside from a high-speed snowball fight*, I tried out the terrain park for the first time.
The sno-park has these giant boxes that you can ride down, about 18 inches wide and 12 feet long. Get on the box, ride down, jump off, enjoy your day. I sat down contemplating the box and watched lots and lots of kids and seamsters demonstrate this simple exercise and decided to give it a try myself. So I got on the box, and about halfway down, I fell onto my ass. But rather than stopping as per my expectation, I kept sliding down the box on my ass! I guess the box top is really really smooth, like teflon or something. And when I got to the box's end, instead of jumping off, I fell off and landed on my butt again. I got to drop on my butt twice within about 3 seconds. A beer helped to cure the pain, and I retried this feat about 8 more times without finding success, perhaps next season.
Regardless, I still have a tiny treasure. Some great mountain photographer managed to snap my picture at the peak of one of the terrain park jumps. Although I bailed hard afterwards, I think the picture proving I got air is prize enough.
This was a very good snowboarding season for me, and I'm really looking forward to getting out a lot in 2007-2008.
