Ski Story - Best Day of my life

                                                  Ski Story
                                                  Best Day of my life
It was 10:00 and man I can snowboard. Turning, stopping, going so fast I can break a bone when I fall. I was going up the magic when a voice from behind said, "Want to race?"
I said,"yes" and turn around. It was Johnny, James, Travis and Dylan. As we went up the magic carpet I put my foot on the board to get ready to race. It was going to be hard because there were a lot of people up there to dodge.
As I got to the top I had to slow and fell over. Then they went zooming past. I started to pick up speed. As I went down I went past Travis and Johnny. Then it was only James. I lent forward, knowing that if I lean too far forward I will flip. Here goes nothing ... I lean forward doing this for the first time... I got it right picking up speed as fast as the speed of a car. I see James coming closer. Then he started to speed up. It was already to late. I went past and said, "How are you?"
He said, "What????" I must of have been going too fast for him to hear what I said.
Then there was a big pile of snow where you had to stop to get on the magic carpet. I was going too fast to stop. If I tried I would have face planted in the  hard snow. So I had a choice ... to jump or face plant ... not knowing what will happen if I jump. I made the choice to jump. As I went over I felt like I was flying. Everything was slow. Then I hit the ground and slowed down so fast that I then face planted.
So the choice I made meant I ended up doing both. When I got up James, Dylan, Johnny and Travis came up and asked, "Are you all right.?"
