Snowboarding accidents sometime involve a bit of extreme trucking. Look what I just found on YouTube. WOW!

Watch the video and then listen to this for a Blink 182 Tune. “What’s my age again!”

Sorry Andi; you were in bed again when I was writing this but at least I wasn’t at the small beach!

Snowboarding is now less than 2 1/2 months away, and I can’t fuckin’ wait. New board, bindings and boots are all on the cards for this season (and a pair a gloves with new warm linings in them), as is 3 days lift passes a week if poss. Hopefully the dragon ex-wife will let the kids come across too (I hope she’s not coming).

We are on about getting a helmet camera this year instead of chasing each other down the mountain trying to capture any action on a mobile or shitty handheld digital camera, and hopefully some of the top resorts here are going to be loaded with powder. Judging by the shitty cold and wet weather already at times, I’m hoping my dreams will be realized this winter. I even have the beautiful girlfriend thinking about getting some mountain clothes, although I think it will be hard enough to get her on some skis let alone a snowboard.

She’ll still look beautiful anyway!

After spending what seems like ages in the Mediterranean, there was finally some swell today (quite impressive for Italy really). Shame I was stuck watching them from a sharp gradient. breaking on rocks. What this place I am at needs is a beach with a nice shallow gradient, and preferably some sand too.

Shame I wasn’t in Levanto, as it would have been the best session this year, or maybe since Biarritz, Hossegor and Cabreton in France.

Surfing has taken a bit of a back seat since I have been here. Gone are the days of going in the sea once, twice, sometimes three times a day. Still, the snowboarding has made up for it, and now nearing the end of August, there isn’t long to wait for the next season. I just wish snowboarding was as cheap; ie free!
