Welcome to the story of my life changing journey.

Thanks visiting my blog. I have decided to keep a public diary of my goings on during my snowboarding "odyssey".

Google defines an Odyssey as "a long wandering and eventful journey". This is definitely what I am embarking on. My wandering through New Zealand will hopefully provide me with a solid foundation to then take me onto other incredible snowboarding experiences.

This is something I hope you will help inspire you to chase the dream and in turn seek your own form of happiness.

Slow times....

7th August

I think i am blogging for the sake of it really, its saturday, the mountain is massively windy I was meant to be working but have been sent home...sad times!

I havent been upto much really, Wednesday was a closed day so I spent the day writing up some notes and playing a bit of poker. I have managed to sent away my bindings now for warranty as the heel cup has cracked. I am hoping it gets sent back soon because the replacement bindings I have right now absolutely suck!

Finally got myself back to the gym the last couple of days which has been good for the mind. I feel like I have been physically vesilating. I just need to keep active on days where I am not up the mountain. I have a feeling there are a lot more closed days ahead so I need to do more than just watch episodes of TV on my laptop and do nothing. Mentally I need to keep active and not slow down too much. I remember going back to work after Canada and I felt pretty stupid. I dont really want that feeling if I have to go back. I need to start reading again and just keep the mental mind active also.

Thursday was a good day training, we did a freestyle day learning frontside 360s and how to apply skills to freestyle manouvres for our teaching. I attempted to teach and failed miserably yet again, starting to worry whether I am cut out for the teaching aspect of this course but ill give it a try.

I had the day off on Friday so went riding for a bit, rode with Jamie from Canada and we hit up the park, I tried throwing 3's off the kicker but they werent working! There were some sick shredders in the park, but landing on ice didnt help my knee so I rested up most of the day. Didnt get upto much else apart from a few episodes of flash forward and the gym.

Leaves me to today...not sure what I will get up2 but I am more hoping i get some work tomo!

Peace and love people
