| if you want to meet up with people from here and ride with them then check the No Mates part of the forum and there are people sorting out meeting up with each other at snowdomes or dry slopes. |

Welcome to SCUK phoebe 
In my opinion you should scrap the whole skiing nonsense and snowboard 100% but that's just me =P
Oh and I agree with g/dad, have fun with snowboarding, dont take it so seriously that you get really pissed off heh, we all took it up as something to do for fun and dont think that should change |

Yeah I agree, not too take it that seriously, I just want to get better.
Had a bad stack a couple months back at the MK Snowdome that shook me a bit, ended up fracturing my shoulder, and cracking a couple of ribs! It was a beginner snowboarders fault haha.
Need to get my confidence back though! |

| Confidence only goes up with like more riding... Broke my left femur, left wrist and left arm two seasons when i dropped off a cliff real dodgy... Massive loss in confidence and couldn't land tricks i could land before but after a bit i started gaining it back and im where i was two seasons ago... The more you ride the better you get and the less you're likely to fall and screw yourself up |
