Attack of the Snow Wasps!

Here’s a little clip from my snowboarding trip to Austria a few weeks ago. I’ve been going snowboarding one week a year for the last 14 years or so. I love it. I used to ski but boarding is so much more fun. I started attempting to learn how to jump in the last 2-3 years and it can be a little painful. I encase myself in body armour which cushions the blows and increases the confidence. I remember a time when I was made of rubber. From my teens to my mid-twenties I would throw myself into just about everything. Now I have to be more cautious. Dodgy ankles, shoulders and back waiting to give out on me.

Its been proven that attitudes to risk change with age and this makes perfect evolutionary sense. This is why I have to keep challenging myself to do those things that I know I can if I can just get up the guts to try. Roll on Winter 2011, I going for the front somersault (I don’t think so).
