We bought Ryker a snowboard, bindings, and boots for his birthday. He said multiple times over the past year that he wants to snowboard (we're always listening!). Turns out our good friends the Addingtons had gotten snowboards for Mya and Trevor also, so we set up a joint private lesson for the 3 of them. I checked in on them a couple of times and witnessed the same scene that every new snowboarder goes through. Heel side, toe side, leaning toward the mountain, and lots of falling and getting up! Also the mere act of strapping in and getting out of the snowboard at the top and bottom of the hill is at least half of the battle in and of itself. After a 3 hr lesson, Ryke was soooo hungry and tired.
Proud of this guy for having a true zest for trying things in life; this is what makes life interesting and exciting, Ryker! -R
