January 28th, 2010 Workout – Snowboarding
Went snowboarding after work with my little brother for a few hours. Conditions were not good and it was pretty much solid packed snow/ice with a thin layer of powder on top.
I had set out wanting to try more freestyle stuff in the park, but the conditions completely sapped the confidence out of me. Ended up only trying airs off some rollers and even then I could tell that I just wasn’t feeling sure of myself.
It’s a weird feeling, because I know I can handle myself in those conditions when riding without a doubt, but when it comes to trying something new, that feeling of doubt creeps in and if I let it, it will take over. I won’t let that feeling take over again this weekend – going to go to blue and I’m going to chuck myself off whatever I can find… when I fall I’ll get up and try it again until I stop falling. I fell a bunch of times last night and other than a little soreness, I’m still alive.
