Snowboard.

My favourite sport is snowboard. I started practising it when I was 9 years old; before I practised ski, but I didn’t like it.
Snowboard it’s a secure sport. However it’s dangerous if you don’t practise it well. For example, if you try to jump with skis it’s possible that you fall, and your legs could bundle up and you can break your knees. It can’t happen to you if you go with a board, because you’ve got your feet tied to the same place. But you can suffer other serious injuries as well.


Last year I was in Font Romeu with Albert, who was snowboarding, Cèlia and Laura, who were skiing. Albert and I, we went out of the slope and the fixation of my board tore up when I crashed into a tree. I had to down the slope with only one foot on the board. I went with Laura and Cèlia went with me.
I was not going very fast, but as I had only one foot fixated on the board, I fell with my face on the snow. It was so heavy, that I did two or three somersaults and my board banged to my head. I was lucky, because I wore a helmet. If I had not wore the helmet I think my head was divided into two parts. I heard Laura and Cèlia, very scared, asking to me if it was all OK. I neither couldn’t breathe nor talk, so I just said NO with my fingers. I cried a little bit, because it really hurt to me. For next Saturday I bought a new board. I only can say to you that if you go skiing or snowboarding, you must wear helmet.
I really love snowboarding and I just hope have a flat in Puigcerdà or Llíbia to go skiing every weekend. On Sunday I’m going to La Molina with my brother, Ferran.

Hi Clàudia!

I hope you didn't hurt too much with your snowboard accident.
I've never stood on a snowboard, because I'm a bit afraid of it. I don't like the idea of having my feet bound immobile on the board. I've always been skiing and I enjoy a lot doing this sport, but my sister prefers snowboarding like you.
Well, I think everyone is free to choose what he likes most.
So just be careful and continue enjoying of snowboaring,

see you
