I was setting up my snowboard bindings, I was up on top of a hill. I pressed record on my Gopro HERO. Then I looked down the hill it was quite steep for a newbie,then I stood up and leaned forwards and slid down the hill.My heart was beating,I felt the wind going past my body.It felt like i was going so fast i couldn’t stop. But then at the end i fall down. I had the basics of skateboard so riding and jumping are easy for me,but powerslides are harder for me.When I rode down to my dad I yelled “I want to do this all day!” And i did it all day,at least from 12 pm to 4 pm. I told my parents “i want to go down the steeper hill!” ”next time” replied my mom. The next day my parents found a teacher for snowboarding.The teacher taught me how to controll my snowboard,powerslide / slow down and turn. The lesson was only 1 hour because my parents and I had to catch the train to the airport. The lesson didn’t go as planned,because yesterday i used it too much. The snowboard couldn’t slide because it needed more wax.But when we added wax it still didn’t want to slide. We found out that there was a scratch on the board right at the end of the lesson.
I’ll never forget how fun it was riding down that hill all day. You can be 100% sure i will go back there on Tet by:chanathan special thanks to:Ms.Mindy
