One of the employees of the equipment rental place recognized me: “Oh, I remember you, the girl always wear pink coat an picked pink helmet.” I came here almost every week and asked pink helmet every time, haha. Snowboarding has gradually become one of the important things I do weekly; it became part of me. Snowboarding makes me more me. I’m not a sport person. I jog for exercising; play badminton with friends sometimes. I can swim, but not so well. However, I fall in love with snowboarding now. I keep falling down, but I don’t want to stop. I set a goal before I started practicing: not to fall down. Good news is that I can get up on snowboard immediately when I fell down. I’m making progress. This week I fell down at least twice per round in the area beside the cable cars. Then I recalled what I learned from YouTube and tried to figure out why. I soon realized that I was too “straight”, especially my upper body. Also, I need to learn and practice using my waist to change direction and keep balance. My body was too hard and inflexible. It’s worthy and helpful to find the reason of falling down. I was learning from myself as well. Just get up from where you fell down and try not fall again. I tried to stoop a little bit on my snowboard and turned my waist to move better. I was getting better! As you can see in the video; the second half I didn’t fall down till the end. I fell down because I was afraid to collide the boy in front of me. I was so happy! It was like a victory. I made it!
