Ich bin ein Snowboarder ...

Here are some youtubes of derspatz proving that you're never too old to learn new things ... and for me and LSCP, that meant trying out Snowboarding at Coronet Peak, Queenstown in New Zealand in the July school holidays just gone.

For a slobbish "likes to hang loose" cool and froody bighead like me, I discovered it came kinda a natural ... and I don't think I'll ever go back to skiing now. :)

But don't take me at my word, not while there are long and boring youtubes to be endured ! Most of the following were taken using a tiny webcam thingy I had clipped to my beanie, so where I look, you see !

First up ?

Me and LSCP riding the fast lift DOWN the mountain:



Next up, a long and boring (coz, let's face it, I was going pretty slow) run down "Meadows Express"



Here is a similar run to that except I take a detour and include some footage of LSCP doing pirouettes on a snowboard. ;) :)



And now for a spill so daring and dramatic that it took me clean off the mountain !



Excellent fun which I well recommend ... and the fact that I appeared to be some mad old man talking to himself while zipping(ish) down the piste (hey, I was giving camera commentary !) tended to keep living obstacles away. Heh.

Snowboarding. Try it some time ... but if your butt bruises easily then I would recommend that you get some padded pants first.

Isn't that right LSCP ? :) :) :)
