gaijindrifter 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Came to Japan (from America) to work. Really wanted to try, but I've never had good luck with board sports. Aussie coworker invited me out (his first time as well) and I said naw, so he invited a girl I liked at the time and told her I was coming... relationship didn't work out with the girl, but I found an even greater love in snowboarding... just bought my first full out park set-up this past week and can't wait to hit up the next level!
