We get 500+ inches of snow here. I just might have to learn to play in it.

I go sledding most of the time.
And when that isnt good enough we tie a canoe behind my truck and drag it, it's fun because it doesnt steer.

yeah im going to just get some used board. i can get a morrow for like 30 bucks. it was a rage. they make horrible bikes too...sweet!
i also have a whole new view on people new to riding...just trying to learn about something as seemingly simple as snowboarding is really hard. i can only imagine how hard it must be for biking.

Photography makes any board sport or BMX look cheap... especially if you get hooked on that terrible-but-sweet brand that starts with L
Road or MTB racing gives it a run for its money though, with the quest to build the lightest bike you can without making it too weak, but making it too weak anyway and destroying it every season... actually that's BMX too but the parts are cheaper for us
