Bulgaria Ski discussion board

I have done both. I had a weeks worth of Skiing lessons when I was 15 and they did the trick and then wanted to try boarding so booked a taster lesson at Tamworth when I was 17. I did not have any further lessons after that as I picked it up really quickly but I put that down to skate boarding as a kid. I am 30 now and whilst I have gone back to 2 planks for an odd hour or two over the years, I still prefer boarding. (Not wanting to bring up the Skiers v's Boadrers arguement again!)

I would tend to say that if you have skated or wakeboarded before then you will be used to going sideways and will pick it up quite quickly but as lizaloveit said, don't give up too easily!

Enjoy!

i think ill give snowboarding a bash, i was a keen rollerblader as a kid, half pipes and extreme stuff like grinding etc so a small degree of sideways there.

tried surfing when I was like 10 but could not get the hang of that, was good at body boarding though.i can ride on a skate board and turn but as for ollies and kick flips etc forget about it,

ive allways admired boarders and the way they move down the pistes so i have to at least try it. if im hopeless then i guess ill pay a fee to change if needs be.

just come back from pamps today. I stuck with snowboarding, realy couldnt get the hang of it on the 1st day but come day 3 I missed my lesson due to a hangover nd decided to go to the top of the mountain and learn the hard way from trial and error. come pm of the 3rd day i was carving down the slopes, all be it slowly. as the week progressed so did the speed of my carves, the last three days of the holiday were spent exploring the runs of pamps and having a blast at a few jumps. wicked

LOVED every minute of it, will definetley snowboard again but in a resort with more reliable snow. pamps had snow to board on for every day but toward the end of the week it melted to slush, dumped it down with snow, iced up and then yesterday it rained.
