What's the scariest snowboarding moment you guys have had?
I think mine had to be yesterday in 'the stash' a snowpark in here in Avoriaz.
I was going at decent speed on a picnic bench feature maybe 4 or 5 foot high when the landing came into view I saw there was a kid on skis of about 5 or 6 years old, I started screaming at him to get out that way but to no avail, I tried to hop as high as I could off of the table and I made over him by no more than a couple of inches.
Had to have a little sit down because I honestly thought I was going to decapitate a little kid, honestly parents need to be more aware of where they take their children and realise that a large terrain park really isn't the place to bring them, if they want to try tricks most resorts have a smaller beginner/children's park, this one sure does.
On a lighter note I also accepted that my board(s) was getting way too small for me so I picked up a Bataleon Whatever 157 Wide.
