gregory-I agree the mental barriers are the bitch to break with boarding,I still get nervous switching to my toe edge in the steeper part of a run and sometimes find myself slowing down to almost a stop to get on it,then other times I have no issues at all, speed is also very intimidating
Normally, by this time of year I would have already been out boarding twice, but there's no snow anywhere in Washington yet. At least, not enough to make it worth while. I just hope we get a heavy load after New Years.
