First and foremost, I've realized that I've been snowboarding for many years, and the biggest high that I get is when I really cut myself off from society, to really know the mountain. The high that I get from hiking up these mountains is a much bigger challenge than taking a helicopter to the top. I have to put more into it, but I get a lot more excitement out of it.
I hate to say it to the kids out there but I just kind of blew off everything and made snowboarding the number one priority in my life
What draws me to the type of snowboarding that I'm doing now is, I go through every emotion in life when I'm climbing these mountains. The fear. The anticipation before that. Getting to the top and the joy of standing on top, and then the adrenaline on going down, and then the kind of overwhelming emotions that I get at the bottom. That whole process is really addicting, and makes me feel alive.
The attraction of snowboarding is the freedom it gives you. With a snowboard on your feet the sky is the limit. You can do anything and go anywhere. This is not just for pro riders. It is for everyone. The other amazing thing with snowboarding is how easy it is to get away from people and enjoy the solitude of the mountains. Its almost impossible in surfing but with snowboarding it is a short hike from the top of the lift or the side of the road.
We got rid of one of our better skaters so they wouldn't complain so much about being beaten.
I've been tutoring since high school and I've always been interested in math. That's usually where the problem is anyway.
I've been praying a lot for strength and (to give) thanks for what I did.
Last year they washed our trucks but they did a really bad job with it.
She told me she was OK, that she loved me and to just go out there and play hard. She said she was sorry she couldn't be here but that she would be here in spirit.
Dale's interviews will be a welcome addition to the library archive because every interview is unique, and his contact with numerous legends produced engaging and diverse interviews with a number of baseball's greatest players.
It's great food. Southern hospitality. Being from Southern California, we don't get too much of that.
It's been easier for me because it's my second year and I don't have to (put in) all the plays and cover all the bases like I did last year.
It's harder, but it's what I expected. But, it is irritating to hear another major complain about how hard it is because they know what they signed up for, too.
We heard they were going to come out as a fast-paced offense. They came out and beat us on all aspects of the game and their offense was clicking on all cylinders.
