Ahh snowboarding

Yesterday I did a front flip with a twist and landed back on my snowboard. Impressive right? If only my intention had been to do this trick, maybe I could have kept my head from hitting the snow. I'm not exactly how it happened, one moment I'm riding along, the next I was flying head over heels. I'm very thankful that Dan decided to buy me a helmet for Christmas because I was still dazed after hitting my head, I'm sure I would have knocked myself out without it. Funny enough, no one was around to witness this crash. Didn't have to worry about my pride being wounded along with my body.

I was doing really good in the morning and was flying down the trails with hardly any falls. Then we decided to stop for lunch. I was excited to go back out, and felt energized and ready to go. I guess it was all mentally energized and not physically because immediately following lunch something changed. I couldn't stay up. My front flip was one of many good falls, and I couldn't stay up even on the same trails I had mastered in the morning. Maybe my body was trying to tell me that it had had enough snowboarding for the day, but it did its best to keep me from staying upright on my board. I did find out through these falls though that I am more flexible than I thought. I never knew that with my knees bent slightly, I can just about touch my shoulders to my feet. I woke up this morning feeling like I got run over by a Mac truck and decided to take the day off from snowboarding
