Used to snowboard. But then i had an accident, where i hit my coccyx. After that i could not turn. That is three years ago now. I don't know when i will go back to it, but i definitely will! Skiing is also awesome though. Was skiing for five years before i changed to snowboard, so it was not hard to shift... Well for my self-esteem it was :D

Yes, since I've been 3 years old, so for the last 20 years, and every weekend during the winter. Google these: Turracher hohe; Nassfeld; Bad Kleinkircheim.

I don't really have the ability to snowboard too often (not too many mountains in Indiana :D). But I skateboard :)

I've snowboarded. Snow in TN is fun... sticks for days on end. And it is to the point where you can snowboard in a short sleeve shirt and none of the snow will melt. I love Tennessee .

I've snowboarded only once(well real snowboarding) I've snowboarded down 100-150ft hills with a cheap snowboard and I can say I'm fairly decent(even though its nothing like real snowboarding) If I ever get the chance I definitely will :)
