Narrative About Snowboarding

In December, my family and I went skiing in Colorado. We like to go see our family, and participate in winter sports. Our two favorite sports are tubing and skiing. When we arrived at Colorado there were ten inches of snow on the ground. We had a choice to go back to my grandparent’s house or go tubing and then go back.

We quickly got off the chair, put on our bindings and went to a steeper route. I went down the hill first and reluctantly, I switched between my toe and heel edge like I was a pro! While I was going down the hill I could hear the wind whistling against my helmet and sound of my board carving on the snow. I was so hyped that I finally learned Snowboarding. After all those years only going on small hills on my heel edge, I finally was doing toe edge.

One day, I woke up excited and ready to start my day, when I suddenly the screams from my mom pieced my ears. She had to give me some good news. She walked into my room that morning to surprise me saying, “You were nominated to run for the great event happening in Boston this weekend.” I got out of my bed, and started packing my clothes for the big marathon. I had to catch the 12 noon flight, that same day.

We started descending down the hill at a rapid speed, fast and faster, going up and down over bumps. As we started going down I could feel myself almost standing because of the bar, great I could potentially die if I don 't follow the rules. Instead of just letting myself stand I forced myself in with my elbows in my hips and my hands on the bar pushing me down. When the ride stopped panic arose in my parents voices. “Morgan where are you !”

And off we go. Our engines roaring as we take off. Aftyn and I love to race. I went to the left and was riding in a big open area while Aftyn went over to the right and was side hilling. I was just coming over a hill when the unthinkable happened.

Slopestyle Snowboarding. Ever heard of it? Yeah probably not, I’m sure you’ve heard of snowboarding though right? Although average snowboarding is quite amusing itself, slopestyle takes it to a whole new level! Slopestyle is a snowboarding course with a wide variety of obstacles ranging from rails, terrains, and slopes of course.

This story takes place last summer in the month of July, about one week. My family and I went on a trip out west. Our final destination was in South Dakota. We left on a monday morning and I remember my mom was trying to get me up and they almost left without me. Everyone packed their bags in the car but when I was about to put mine in the car I was informed that there was no more room and it had to get tied to the roof.

Snowboarding is a winter activity that many people participate in all over the world. It has become such a huge sport that it is in the Olympics every four years. Snowboarding became very popular in 2000 and was also the fastest-growing sport in the United States with numbers reaching a total of just over 7.2 million people that participated in the new sport. However, people don’t just snowboard to go down hills, like skateboarding, snowboarding is considered a trick sport.

It took us about 8 or 9 hours to get there. Right when we got there we walked into our motel. The Motel was like dark and broke down, but the rooms were huge. Right

When you snowboard you should use some safety gear so you don’t get hurt. Plus the more layers you put on the less cold you will be. Here is a list of safety equipment you should have before you start snowboarding: • Snowboard helmets • Gloves • Goggles • Padded shorts and pants •

For the longest time had I been asking to go here, the day has finally came. I was nine then, my first time at Cedar Point (other then when I was like two or three but I don’t count that) and for most of the car ride I was all smiles. My family would look out and see who could be the first one to find the roller coasters. I thought it took forever to get through the car lines-being an anxious and impatient girl-

The ice cold snow melts onto my face, I laugh at myself and hope to god the people around me didn’t see that. No one was paying attention to me they all had this type of confidence and excitement to learn and grow. I stood back up and headed down the hill with all force, not knowing how to turn I abruptly put my snowboard on healedge and slammed to a stop. Little did I know I was already halfway down the hill.

We woke up full of energy and ate breakfast. My mom had a few more things to pack up. We had to wait for her in the car. As soon as my mom came my dad turned the car on and we started the trip. The roads were very slippery

Despite my parents’ opinions about the climb, I still tried to protest, saying that it would not be that great. Until the day of the hike finally came. I was still not thrilled about having to climb Mount Washington, but I had accepted the fact that my parents were not going to change their minds about their decision. When the day of the great hike had finally came, my family woke up early so that we would have enough time to go to the top and back. Then we packed snacks for the journey, lunches for the peak, and plenty of water for along the way.
