One month to go...!

Bad news. I didn’t make my goal of linking turns by Christmas. I’m really, really close though so hopefully it will all click soon.

All I have to do is to get my brain and my feet to engage for one small movement and I’m there but it’s going to take a bit more work.

I put it down to confidence because I’ve not done something like this before. I’ve also been told that this snowboarding malarkey is much easier on the snow than it is dry slope so fingers crossed if I don’t get it beforehand it will click in Italy.

So far I am able to ride down the slope, and turn my board so it is facing nose first down the hill. I can also point the board down the slope and turn my board so I’m on the heel edge – it’s just a case of putting these two elements together...easier said than done!
