At first, I was afraid to learn to snowboard. I actually tried audio courses and learning snowboarding, videos that promised to show me tricks, and all kinds of other tools that allowed me to not have to stand up on the board. I was only putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, if I wanted to learn to snowboard, I would have to just get up and do it. Last winter I decided to do just that. I went out to a ski lodge and signed up for snowboarding classes. I took a private snowboarding lesson, as well as several group classes. It was the thrill of my life!
In retrospect, it was silly for me to put off my decision to learn to snowboard for so long. Once I got up and did it, it was a lot of fun.
