Lord of the Runs - Return of the thing

Another brusing day on the slopes with our trainer, today we worked on central theme stuff in the morning (side slipping, falling leaf and all that gubbins) plus some carving.

Then in the afternoon we met up with the other board group to do some steep and bumpy stuff. For once I had some good runs with it all coming together so I put in some pretty good perfomances and was nice and happy.

Tomorrow is the final day and i have to pull everything together. I've been given a hit list

a) Side slipping - More flexing
b) Carving - Finish my heel side turns off more (I would if some prick on blades would stop getting in my way - they really are a plauge on the slopes, they breed like rats)
c) My fugging arms! - Christ, how tired am I getting of this one? I've solved the robot arms problem but now the trecherous bastards are crossing my body and getting in the way of my rythym (is that how you spell it?)- if they weren't so damn useful for other things, like opening doors and carrying boards, I'd get rid of them.

On other matters I ripped my bloody trousers on wednesday on some shoddy french lift equipiment (a sharp corner at shin level, wonder how many unsuspecting victims that ones had?).

No biggy, I have some spare trousers and the repair would only be E15. So I get home, empty my pockets and take my trousers to the shop to get them repaired. |The one small wrinkle in my plan was I forgot to take my pass out of the trousers!. So next day I had to get a day pass so I could have my lesson. E41 for one day!!! For fugs sake, I only wanted to ride up a lift not buy a bit of one! For that price I expect lie flat seats, complimentary drinks and a head massage not surley lift attendents and germans farting in gondala cars (it's the bratwurst i think).

So all in that little sharp corner cost me E55 and a bunch of agro.

Anyway I'm off to get a good nights sleep ready to tear that side slipping demonstration a new arsehole.
