Then you probably don't want to try to snowboard as I am convinced that, with very few exceptions, learning to snowboard REQUIRES three full days of falling down the mountain with no semblence of control achieved. Then, sometime on the third day, something 'clicks'......... While I have learned in my many years of getting to know MizSuz that when I debate a subject with her, she is inevitably proven correct, I do however feel a need to offer a small correction to her posit: It does NOT take "three full days of falling down a mountain....then on the third day something clicks....", because I, as a seasoned pro (of snowboarding) was able to obtain a magnitude of discernment as to snowboarding in fewer than 2 hours that can only be described as "visionary", and indeed, "something clicked" for me in barely 7 minutes (even as I fought the obviousness of it for another hour and 53 minutes): "SNOWBOARDING IS FOR PEOPLE WITH EITHER A DEATHWISH OR WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 140 LBS!!!!!" And of course, what "clicked" for me (and I recommend this to ALL first time snowboarders) was..."On the first day God created bars...." (I have another story about snowboarding, but it was so cold and DARK outside at the time, I'm certain I don't remember the specifics well enough to tell it accurately )
