Snowboarding!

Yup! The 2008-09 season has begun!

Today Henry, Jake, Ed (Jake's friend), Hunter and I kicked off the season at one of our favorite hills.

Man did it feel awesome to strap the board on and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine!

Had it not been for a young punk having no control over his 'board, I would have made it through the day without falling on my butt. As I looked over my left shoulder and moved in the same direction, I caught the kid out of the corner of my eye just before his 'board slid across the top of mine, between my legs, and his momentum propelled both of us into the air, then flat on our backs.

Neither of us liked the position we were in but the young'un was so freaked out he immediately began to extricate himself, which twisted the lower half of my body as though it wasn't connected heartily to the top half. I finally managed to get him to stop and in a couple of movements I had us separated from each other with my body fully intact.
