      I started skiing when I was very young and I was always bad at it. Never really improved, but golly I was really good at super pie-ing my way down difficult stuff.

      I switched to snowboarding and it just clicked for me. It felt so much better and made way more sense.

      Not to say it’s easy, but give it a try. You might really enjoy yourself.

      On a side note, I’ve since learned that I just suck at motion that has me with my feet facing forward. I can’t roller skate or ice skate to save my life, but long boarding or skate boarding are find. I’m a little shaky on scopters, but it’s not as bad as skates

        My skiing days are done I think. But ya anything that moves that puts itself betweeny feet and the ground has never worked out well for me. Skating , roller skates, skiing snow and water

      Consider this: unlike skiing, you don’t have anything in your hands. You have to completely control the board by your legs.

        I’m not a skier but I don’t think you’re supposed to control the skies with your hands either.
