Snowboarding

My friends invited me to go snowboarding this spring break in Michigan. And I must say that I'm not sure if I want to go. I attempted snowboarding about a couple years ago with my sisters at wintergreen resort. I was extremely excited to go at first because I've never tried it before, but I must say, snowboarding is a lot harder than it looks. You must have complete balance and control when you on the board, and I, myself, do not have either. I came on the board, strapped myself in tightly and was ready for flow with the wind Little did I know, I had completely no control of where I was going. Sliding down the mountains was extremely scary. You begin to feel helpless and you don't know when and how to stop with both your feet strapped on the board. Of course, sliding down the mountain did felt like I was flying, but I honestly don't like like the feeling of not be able to control where I'm going. Hence, I bumped into everything that was in my way. Whether it was people around me, or soft poles that kept align the the slopes. I eventually fell in all sorts of ways, and ended up bruising my back. I finally realize that snowboarding is not my sport, nor will it ever be. It was an adventurous experience, but I will not want to do it again ;)
