When i strap the board between my feet, it feel as tho i cant be beat. i stand up, wipe off the snow , look down the hill and here we go. soaring threw the air with the birds and the planes, i’m so high, yet no drugs in my brain. i land the jump, no fall, no pain , but close ahead i see rough terrain .my board is covered with bumps and bruises, but it doesn't mind, because if i stop , it losses .:leaf:
