I had my second snowboarding lesson today up at Castleford. My last 3 hr lesson was to learn the basics of toe and heel edge. Today was to put what I'd learnt last time to the test and start doing some turns...easy! ; )I picked it up fairly quickly but did seem to spend a lot of time falling over! One of the biggest challenges was overcoming the drag lift. After a couple of goes at just about getting it I was becoming recognised by the instructors because they dutifully slowed the whole lift down so I could get on it and then they had to guide me off it at the top as I was becoming very good at falling off straight onto the only small piece of concrete avaliable! I came away from the lesson having learnt my turns, mastered the button lift, a great array of bruises and a pass for my levels 3 & 4. I'm now free to be let loose on the slopes...time to book a snowboarding holiday!
