Boardercross and Snowskating
Today I did the boardercross event. This is when you race people down a course around corners and over jumps. You need to make sure you go around the gates. We started off by inspecting the course and then did a medium speed run to practice. After we did that we did time trials to determine who races who and find out the order of who picks which starting gate first.
I thought I was not going to win but I came in second place for the overall event in my age category. So I got a silver medal and some cool prizes. Now I am ranked as the second best boardercross in the US for my age category. I think this is so cool. My mom and dad were so proud of me.
My dad also competed today but he did the halfpipe competition. He said he did very well for an old guy.
After I competed I went to the Nike tent and tried out snowskating. They gave me a snowskate for free. It looks like a skateboard deck but you ride it on the snow. This was very fun.

I’m so proud of you….it’s very impressive that you were ranked 25th going into the BoarderCross event and now we have a National Snowboarding medalist in the family. Snowskating sounds pretty cool….however, I checked out the link on your blog for Freebord and you’re correct in saying “Awesome looking ride”!!! Next winter I’ll have to come down and you can teach me a few snowboarding tricks; the first one being how to not fall. Keep up the good work!
Love ya,
