Snowboarding

"Snowboarding is just an excuse to suck at skateboarding!"  -Todd Richards
I don't necessarily agree with Todd on that, but it is true that snowboarding is a lot easier than
its brother skateboarding (check out my skateboarding page.)  Now the snowboarding season is over and I only got like 11 days in!  I guess that is the price you pay for living on the central coast.  Anyway, it was a pretty good season and I got a few powder days in and I hope all of you did too.  I know I have been lazy and neglected this page for awhile so I am putting up some new animations for your viewing enjoyment.
