Dislocated my shoulder - twice! Sucked... I may have messed up my IMAZ training - not worth the risk. Good luck and be careful next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-1167934482855924302007-01-04T10:14:00.000-08:002007-01-04T10:14:00.000-08:00damn fine suggestion, Robin. wish somebody told m...damn fine suggestion, Robin. wish somebody told me that a week ago! i'm sitting here in Starbucks imagining my back toe being pushed down and bag and i can feel myself turning toeside. <BR/><BR/>i'll definitely try that next time. which hopefully will be in less than 2 years.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055445562137022310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-1167876175392032462007-01-03T18:02:00.000-08:002007-01-03T18:02:00.000-08:00Dude, you are a funny writer.

I'm having a good chuckle at your snowboarding experiences, having cried at the end of my first day boarding, many years ago, and wishing for a big pillow to tape to my behind. I had to stick with it though, since I'd blown out a knee skiing and couldn't go back to the double-sticks approach anymore. <BR/><BR/>I hope you find your snowboarding mojo some day, it really is a kick-ass sport, once you get past that first little learning curve there. Oh yeah, and turns are toe-side and back-side, but never ever right or left :-). Toe-side turns are often the hardest, it helps to push your back toe down and back behind you (dig in with it). At least that's what works for me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
