Most people have heard of the Bucket List, a list of things you want to have achieved before you die. Well there's mine on the right side of the screen. I thought this blog would be a fun way to document each item as I accomplish it, and hear others opinion's on my Bucket List items. If anyone ever finds my little blog, feel free to leave comments, I'd love to hear from you. It would amaze me to have people decided to follow it!

13. Master Heal And Toe Edge On My Snowboard

For anyone who has tried snowboarding they have to agree that the first time is extremely painful.  I wiped out hundreds of times and the many face plants resulted in bruises and sore muscles.  I stated snow skiing at age four, though it was fun I decided to try snowboarding a few years ago.  Last year I was more determined and finally was getting the hang of switching from my heal to toe edge, which for beginner snowboarders is extremely awkward.  I just returned from a two day ski trip to the Canadian Rockies, I am now completely confident with carving from one edge to another.  I had feared, after having the summer off any skill I had would be lost, I'm happy to say I'm snowboarding better then ever.


Anyone with hard work and determination can learn to snowboard.  The most important thing is to remember after the first time snowboarding, it only gets easier and less painful.  After you get past the beginner stages, snowboarding is extremely fun!

    1. Thanks a bunch! Cool, it would be great to hear which items you have accomplished. Ya, 43 and 6 will be interesting, but I do have ideas.... I've worked on 63 and it was somewhat harder then I expected, but when I have more time I plan to try it again.
