Long & Hard....

...is the best way of describing my week. It's been the first week of our 2 week BASI assesment and boy is it tough!

We are (obviously) required to reach a certain level of riding in order to pass as instructors. This week has been focused on bringing our riding up to that standard. As of right now I am pretty close to the mark, I just need to sort out a few niggling issues, namely my fucking arms - I'm bumbling down the piste and things start to get a bit steep or bumpy and my bloody arms either pop out into my classic robot pose or start crossing my body and generally getting in the way, Bastards.

Anyhow I'm going to be working on those puppies this weekend and by the time most of you read this I hope to have properly nailed the buggers and will have a super smooth style.

If I pass I may well go over to italy for two weeks where there is a possible job teaching. it will probably involve baby sitting screaming spoilt brats all day but what the heck.

If I don't pass I may well hang out here for a couple more weeks and work on my freestyle.

Either way I have to be back in blighty for May. Bugger that depresses me thinking about it. :-(
