ohh man, ALL 'extreme' sports are more fun in their own way. Wakeboarding for example, get drunk and chill on a boat and drive fast and wreck hard on the board. lmao...Im saving my pennies this year though cause i REALLY REALLY wanna go on a snow ski trip to like SnowShoe or somewhere, any big ski resort type of place. Been snowboarding one time in NY on this little hill, but the littles slope on this little hill was like medium or some shit, i dunno, but standing 8 feet from the edge of the slope and not being able to see the slope doesnt seem like a 'medium' to me I respect snow boarding a LOT, i was thinking, "shit, i can surf, skate and wakeboard, how much diff can snowboarding be?" Too my surprise, quite a BIT!! haha
