I will be having my first ever snowboarding class next Thursday! Yippee!! I expect to spend most of the time on my butt and on my wrist. My legs are gonna be so sore afterwards and I plan to practice on my own on Saturday. Muhahahah!!!
Wear wristguards and a helmet. Kneepads might not be a bad idea. Take a couple of tylenol/ibuprofen before starting because you will hit the ground a lot!
I tried it last year. The penalty for exceeding the age limits was one broken wrist. I can post the story (long) if people want.
Yeah, I plan to wear my wristguards and kneepads from my inline-skating days when I go to class. Even tempted to wear my padded bike shorts to protect my bums. Padded shorts only protect one's crotch not bums, do they? Would love to hear your story, McFuzz. Please post!
