Hello all my readers! So I know that the two of you have been desperately missing updates on this crazy blog, so here it is! Well, 2006 was a big year. We moved to California, had half my face paralyzed for a while, and even bought a house/learned about debt! But enough of the small stuff, I’m going to tell you about new years up in Big Bear. You see, our friend Adriana,
has a cabin,
and we all drove up to spend New Year’s in the closest thing California has to a winter. On the first day, everyone went snowboarding. Not the kind to be left behind, Ashley and I decided to go as well, borrowing extra snowboarding gear from almost everyone in the cabin.
This was our first time snowboarding. Nevertheless, I’ve decided that snowboard is too easy of a sport. It lacks technique and it’s just not fast enough. So, I decided to invent my own sport, faceboarding.
You heard me, faceboarding is it. Why use an expensive, questionably-colored snowboard (a snowplank, if you will) when you can go downhill on your face like I do?
You may be wondering if I have any pictures of faceboarding, and sadly, I don’t. No camera is capable of capturing the speed of a faceboarder like me. Just imagine an skydiver, but put that skydiver face down on a slope. That’s pretty much how you faceboard.
You’ll be hearing more about faceboarding as this year rolls along. We have a trip to Colorado and a trip to Mammoth mountain planned. Stay tuned!
Oh, and Happy New Year!
