inrun kinda sketchy
Hi! Been snowboarding lately quite a lot. But now there’s a HOT new sport coming up!! It’s called Iceboarding! The rules are simple: Have a few warm days, so that the snow turns nice and soft and then have freezing days, so that the snow turns into ice. All you gotta do then is take a snowboard with the DULLEST edges and try snowboarding. For beginners it’s recommended you wear some butt guards, knee guards, a helmet and maybe some pillows anywhere else on your body. The experts can show of their stylish beanies and t-shirts :)
I had the luck of trying iceboarding for the past week. My last stop in my icepark tour was the Elan park in Rejdice. I must say that even though the boys take great care of it that it qualified as a perfect ice park with all the essentials. There were a few attempts of taking the parkbully and breaking the ice. But even the ice was too much for this machine and it started sliding sideways! So the boys went to shape the park the best they can. There was a lot of effort but even then the jumps had funny shapes and the inruns for the rails also. So as you can see the situation in Czech republic is perfect for this sport. Of course I’m a little more careful and consider myself as a beginner to iceboarding. I didn’t try any jumps, but I did give a few jibbing sessions. Another fun thing about this sport is it leaves awesome blue marks on your body!! It’s almost like tatoos! After getting very blue, we decided to visit the local pub with my friend and chillout a bit. I really did feel the atmosphere of the mountains. Especially thanks to that Saint Bernard in the pub (without the rum keg though). So anyone gonna try this new sport too?
