I get nervous when I hear/see people strapping inanimate objects to their body..and call it sport....
Some years ago, I met a young lady up in Canada, and she convinced me to try skiing....I had never participated in this "sport", prior to this time; but she assured me that there was nothing to it. Now, in all honesty, time has clouded the events to some extent; but I do remember having some curved wooden planks attached to my butt, and the distinct feeling of being pushed over a cliff......
The ambulance crew were quite sympathetic; I remember one saying that he "had never quite seen a performance like that before"...as they tried to extricate me from the rail/fence around the chalet patio.
For myself....all I can remember about the ride down the hill....I think I skiied the first 50 feet, then rolled, bounced, and flailed, the next 5000 feet....ground, sky, ground, sky, ground, sky.......
