Mantas 3 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 How am I ever going to slip away for some snowboarding without my little mate in tow? Link to post Share on other sites
foreversnow 5 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 What a little cutie - He snowboards like he has been doing it for years. What a little natural. THANKS for sharing Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I laughed so hard I cried. "I tripped you over" You created a monster indeed - welcome to my world! He is seriously cute, and great on a board Mantas - have fun with him. Oh and by the way - pretty handy camera work there Dad. What did you use? I am looking at getting Papa a helmetcam before Niseko, holding the video camera and riding is a bit awkward. Link to post Share on other sites
Hotaka Scott 0 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks like you're all set for a riding partner for the next few years ... until he gets better than you Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Cute...Mmmm, don't know about that. He's no star on the footy field but he can ride just about anything. MB I just used my still camera in movie mode. Very hard to ride with it up in your face. Don't know about helmet cam, very limited use. I would recommend that he just buy/borrow/steel a cheap cam corder with a flip out screen. Strap in OVER the gloves and hold it out in front as you ride. Works really well.

Papa used his video camera (not a cheapy though) with a flip out screen in Thredbo and followed me down, it was pretty good, but awkward for him. He is keen to get one of those helmet cam attachments that actually plugs into the existing video camera (carried in the backpack). Link to post Share on other sites

That vid was taken on his 5th day. I put a lot of time in with him for the first 2 days. He picked up the basic concept of riding straight away, it was all the other stuff he struggled with ie. locking in, unlocking, lifts ect. He spends a lot of time surfing and skateboarding at home as well. I didn't start riding until my late twenties, lucky little bugger. Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Impressive. I've got my own work cut out for me. It'll have to wait a few years coz my boy's only 18 month but once he starts riding then it'll be easier for me to get out --someone's got to take him to the mountain. ...Actually I thought it might be easier to start with skiing than boarding but I might rethink that. Of course surfing and skating would help too. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 My boy had skied since age 3. I don't really think it helped too much when he switched to a board. Link to post Share on other sites
