well it's getting to be summer and i haven't posted in here in forever and i pretty much haven't used snowboard.com for much of anything in a year or two. but i'm back for now and i'm gunna re-do my profile and crap so it'll be sweet. pretty much....... this past season was amazing. i rode a ton, met a lot of awesome people, rode with a lot of awesome people, learned a ton, and became part of something that's pushing my riding even further. i'm bummed that the season is over and i'm bummed that i'm not going back to snowboard camp this summer. but i'm ok with it... through my trip there last summer, i learned that i can actually do a Lot of stuff on my board that i never thought i could do, if i just suck it up and try it... i also learned that riding with other people helps me out a TON with learning everything... so yes. it was a good season, besides being out a bunch of random weeks from a ton of random injuries.
this summer i'm gunna go crazy wanting to ride and i still haven't quite figured out what i'm gunna do about it this year. paintball is always a huge adrenaline rush for me but i can't do it nearly as often as i snowboard... i want to get those friggen ollies down while moving and learn to skate bowls this summer. i also want to get some freeline skates. if i had the money i would buy a kite for my wakeboard so i could go kiteboarding.... but those are crazy expensive. i just wanna have a lot of fun this summer and try a bunch of new things to push my limits.
unfortunately it's really hard for me to find ANYTHING that compares to snowboarding. i'm addicted to the adrenaline and oddly, getting hurt makes me want to go at it again and really nail the trick. i do alot of things during the summer that are really fun, but most lack the whole adrenaline thing. there's a little adrenaline with freebording.. it's mostly just fun though. street surfing doesn't create any adrenaline except for the 5 seconds before riding over the railroad tracks. skimboarding.... meh. it's not challenging anymore. fun, yes. but i don't feed off any part of it. aggressive skating... i could get into that again if i lived closer than 2 hours from a skatepark. skating around the street by myself got really old a few years ago. paintball creates crazy adrenaline... but it's not something that you create yourself like when snowboarding. unless you go rambo running out in the open shooting everyone you see and trying to dodge everyone's paintballs. i guess i tend to do that a lot though... i can't wakeboard anymore cause we don't have the board anymore. i'd like to get into rockclimbing.... i dunno i guess skating is the only thing that would keep me good till winter but i'd rather start off with that in a skatepark. and again, it's far away. so yeah this is my dillema. i'm addicted to snowboarding and i'm addicted to adrenaline and there's usually quite a lack of both during the off season. and it's crappy!
next season i'm planning on bumping everything up a notch. i've learned all the basics of everything so hopefully i'll get myself to take em to bigger things. should be interesting..
