snowboarder in deep powder snow

Do it anyway!

about behind the scene myth buster Sep 13, 2021

So, the first time I tried snowboarding in 1997, it was a complete fail. Of epic proportions.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I somehow managed to end up with a bruised tail bone and a mild concussion (not even talking about the massive muscle soreness).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And of course, like any person, I whispered to myself ferociously, "Well, I am never doing that again".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But if I had actually stuck to that? If I hadn't gotten back up and tried again the very next day?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️Then I would have missed out on bringing a hobby into my life that brought me so much happiness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️And I would have never learned how to jump (always struggled with the landing part, though).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️And I would have never felt this calm contentedness when riding fresh powder.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that would have sucked WAY more than that initial 'moment'.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, this is your reminder that if you have been stung by trying to master English or another letdown in your life, then...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dusting yourself back off + trying again is not only the secret to becoming an expert —but can open up new worlds + ways of thinking as well.
