Hey, so while I'm still riding regularly (outside & inside), I wanted to have a go at something new when I'm off the bike.

Enter snowboarding!

I went skiing for a day, some years ago, however I want to do something different. Call it eccentric or whatever but I'd like to try a totally novel sport.

So what is it like? What should I keep in mind? Any tips, tricks, advice...or warnings?

All I've read is that the first few days, well, rather suck! But that it gets better and you can supposedly learn quickly afterwards. I'm totally new to it so I have no idea how true (or not) that is.

Would love to hear your stories and suggestions
