snowboarding is not for me.

so i went on a ski trip with a couple of frens this wkend. ive been skiing before and got to become reasonable at it. but the last time i skiied was 3 yrs ago. so i thot since im only going for a day, i mite try snowboarding.

so off we went to mt hutt. and the last time i was at mt hutt was in high school and whoa has it changed. now they have a magic carpet and the place looks a lot better. so anyways off we went to our beginner lessons. and by the end of the 1st lesson, i knew then dat snowboarding was not for me. ive never done skateboarding or surfing so i guess i didnt really kno wat to expect..and trying to balance while going downhill on a snow slope is pretty tricky! and with snowboarding, u spend a lot of time falling. which i definitely did. i dont have a lot of fat on me either, and so my butt was pretty bruised by the end of the lesson. and im not the most daring person either, in fact i would prob lose in truth or dare. so after lunch, another snowboarding beginner fren decided to change to ski and so i followed her and changed to ski too. and then i felt so much better when i did ski. so whoever said dat snowboarding is easier is soo wrong!

but then i was thinking, im really not a daring person at all. i don't like trying new things esp when i kno there is some associated danger..haha..like the whole time i was snowboarding, i was so scared cos i kept falling on my hands. and i didnt wear wrist guards (i dunno why i didnt) and the whole time i was worried id get a colles fracture. haha. the overly worried me. and im not a speed freak either. even when i drive, i dont really speed. so going downhill on a slope doesnt really excite me. it actually freaks me out and gives me palpitations. even when i ski, i try to go really slow and to have control when i do my turns so im not just skiing straight down. and i guess when u're learning a new skill or sport, u kinda have to be a little daring cos u wont get it first time. maybe dats why i don't have many skills cos im not daring enuf. im kinda a scaredy cat in many ways. unwilling to try new things or experience different things. guess im scared dat i'll get hurt. so yea im not the most adventurous person. but at least with snowboarding, ive tried it once and now i kno it's not for me. so next time, i can just concentrate on improving my skiing.
