i was snow boarding a couple of years back. saw this bloke in front of me with his board, but had a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and a bit of a shake going on.
i thought... ah, newbie learner who was a bit nervous, then when he turned round i could see it.
spoke to the guy... he was 79 and been going skiing every year since he was 37 (divorce) been snow boarding for the last 4 seasons. suffering MS and not happy he was slowly loosing his freedom, but said he was going down fighting!... freakin brilliant!
