My ass was super bruised after my first weekend learning to board. At Tremblant. More than I ever thought I could be bruised. The learning curve is easy for most so it is a good skill to have but I still prefer skis. It is fun!

I just finished your Burn video. I believe you are right that the right question to ask about an experience is: why not? From watching your vids I thought you have had that attitude already.

My first time truly travelling alone I was 20, had a backpack, money and a return ticket for 3 months later from an airport thousands of miles away. My first night was the first night in my life that I was ever truly scared. Fuck I am in a foreign country, I do not know anyone, no one has my back and I can't go home no matter what. I am responsible for everything. How the fuck am I going to do this? As you might predict, 3 months later I was not ready to go home.

That;s really just a seque to my point. When I got home, I had a high school friend ask me: Why would you want to do that? I still regret my answer which was: Bob if you have to ask that question you will not understand the answer. You do it because you have the opportunity to do it and you want to experience the world and what it has to offer.
