Well first of all, I survived & having another lesson on Thursday. I'am affraid it another lesson 1 tho.
I run out of puff and could'nt get it to slide down the slope without going all over the place.
Was far to warm and was having problems with my gloves fitting over wrist guards.
I've fix the problem with the gloves and also will be wearing the right gear this time.
Motorcycle gear far to heavy for the old girl.
P.S I did get to ride the edge at the very last run, but it was a flook.
Had great fun and was smiling all the way back home.
I now know what I'am up againist and hopefully do better on Thursday.
Another P.S I think I was the oldest and was the only one not to go to level 2. Never mind Rome was'nt build in a day as they say. Embarassed Wink

Hey dont worry all ppl learn at different speeds , better to repeat a level 1 and nail it then do a level 2 and possibly think its not for you

Glad you had fun ......................

Yeah I wouldnt fancy doing lessons in my bike gear either, nowhere near being as breathable as I'd like, very heavy and doesnt lend itself to being flexible when its required.

You'll probably notice a big improvement with some lighter snowboard gear on.

Stick at it!! Smile

Congrats man. More importantly, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.
