Mike and me on Cypress
I’ve got a new motto. It slipped out of mouth while hitting the slopes last month for the first time in nearly three years.
As Mike and I were in the middle of our third run, I told him that I was finally getting into the groove. The first two runs had been terrifying. He said something about how I should’ve told him (which is ridiculous – what good would that do??) so I yelled over my shoulder “If you’re not scared, you’re not doing it right!”
I had a great time snowboarding that day and I still stand by what I said. If you’re not scared, you’re not doing it right.
If I had spent the entire day on the green slope slowly perfecting my S-curves I would’ve felt like a tool. When it comes to snowboarding and most other things, it’s more fun when you lean forward and enjoy the ride.
