We went out in the snow last night to play and it was brilliant.
We found a really steep and long hill behind my friends house and we had massive fights and went down on sledges etc
But we invented a game where you had to run and jump on a sledge and ski it down the hill, all my friends sucked. I got half way down most times before falling in spectacular style and I actually truly bounced off the ground and rolled in the air for a few metres before destroying my back or shoulder. But I got the whole way down and won myself two pints.
Then my friend threw a snowball at my head but I turned round and it smacked me in the eye, I couldnt see and fell over and halfway down the hill, it still hurts.
Ahhhh to be young again.

I learned hwo to do both on Hillend. It's a good slope don't you think?
Ive never done snowboarding, ive been ski-ing at hillend though.
It snowed for 10 minutes here, and was pretty much all gone by the morning. I haven't slid down anything (oo-er!) for years.
Road signs make good sledges, as I remember. The long thin ones resemble snowboards and the triangles ones are as fast as greasy poop.
These were disused roadsigns, you understand. No-one missed them. Much.

Man, I feel so old and tired, I haven't done anything like that for years.
Where's me pipe and slippers?

I completely wrecked my arm once when I was ski-ing. I had to go to hospital. That was a pretty spectacular fall. Still, I'm 16 and never had 1 broken bone. Mr. Safety says don't play with knives kiddies.
My back is wrecked
I fell the best

Had to take my parents to some village pub cause they were going for a meal.
Had to drive along small country roads in the snow, quite fun.
Went through this rough area and kids were sliding down the hills on road signs and signs they had *removed* from a building site.
I wanted to play in the snow.
It snowed during the night and was lying on the ground and then the rain came and ruined everything.
*shakes fist

I can ski very well, was in team competitions for 2 years running and both years my team won. After that I took up snowboarding as a change but only did the first 4 of 8 levels of the course. I am a "novice" snowboarder but I can still go from the top of Hillend Ski-slope without falling. (the largest dry ski slope in the UK...maybe Europe actually. I dunno) I shall have to apply my skills to these things that you speak of next time it snows. I still think it's more fun to get those plastic sand boxes that are in the shape of a shell. You take the shell lid up the hill. Get about between 4-8 people on it depend on how many people want to sit on you and slowly rush you to death and then go down the hill faster than bugs bunny on crack.
I've never been skiing. I slid down a hill on a photocopier lid last christmas, but that's as close as I've ever been.
