I've just booked my first lesson at Xscape on Tuesday. I really want to do this, but now I'am feeling a bit nervous about it all.
I hope they will be people there the same age but I doubt that.
Wish me luck! |

| Enjoy it, I'm sure you will - would highly recommend wrist guards and impact shorts if you've not already got them. |

Yeap got them, wrist guards are Dakine, impact shorts are No fear ones, textile motorcycle jacket with back, elbow & shoulder protectors, textile trousers with knee pads as well. Gloves are Animal snowboarding ones.
I hope this will do for now.
Do you think I should take out the small back protector in the jacket and wear my Knox protector instead?(full length) or is this over kill.  |

| Try not to be nervous. It's understandable that you're nervous but try to relax and listen to the instructor. It will be a fun learning experience for sure. Enjoy! |
