well, here it is.

 

2 months since I first put a board under my feet.  21 days on the snow.

 

And tomorrow's the big day.

 

plenty of injuries, but nothing so bad that it's kept me from keep on keeping on.  learned how to go down the hill pretty fast, mostly in control - just pretty much pushing the envelope on the edge of chaos really (TM Nico Demartini).  Learned how to jump and have progressed to medium sized jumps, usually making the landings in control.

 

And have had pretty much an awesome time the entire time.

 

Just sharpened the edges on my board, so we'll see if that takes me to the Promised Land tomorrow.  Bought a motocross jersey to finish out my racing kit - you'll love it - the company name is 'Xtreme Competition' - need I say more?
