Using a GoPro Hero cam someone just gave me. Pretty fun stuff, but I have a lot to learn about getting good vid. I had the angle all wrong for most of the runs, way too low.
Was my first time wearing a helmet so I was a little thrown off by that, but at least I didn't do anything dumb enough to hurt the camera.
Next time I'll hit the park and see if I can't get any more entertaining vids of jumps and whatnot.
Anyway...thanks for looking.
and yes....I'm aware that the song is wayyyyy too epic for my mundane footage. 
edit: also, vid of how I turned by shin all black and blue at the very end.

Yup, skip to the very end video.
4:20
its slowed down so it doesnt look that bad, but my shin is a nasty color right now, it hurt.

I liked the vid. However, it made me incredibly sad. In the 15 or so years of riding in WA, I can count on both hands the number of times I got powder like that to board on.

When you're first starting, expect:
Skiing = hurt groin
Snowboarding = hurt wrists, elbows
:P

Damn that looks fun. When and where was that taken if you don't mind me asking. I don't get to ski on powder for more than a day at a time in NJ and I haven't skied in years. I need to try boarding.

I should read replies first, huh?

Yeah, lake Tahoe, CA.
That vid is from Northstar which is my home resort, but they don't even get the most powder. Pretty amazing ski resorts up here. 0 lift lines weekdays too, can't beat it.

hurt groin doesnt sound fun... wrists and elbows seems more reasonable.

The way you fall is different for each. With boarding, you're usually falling face first or falling back, so your natural reaction is to brace yourself with your arms. Plus, to stand up from strapping in or resting is more like a dip (ie, you have to push yourself up from ground to feet) compared to skiing where you usually have poles to help you stand. That means you'll have some seriously burned out forearm muscles at the end of the day.
For skiing, your feet are on separate skis, which can be a nightmare if you get skis too long for you or if you hit deep snow and one of them digs in (meaning the other one continues one way, the dug in one goes that direction = pop goes the groin). That being said, skiing is loads of fun and has its own advantages over boarding. Such as popping the skis off and resetting rather than having to sit down, strap in, and get up from a sitting position.

The last time I heard that music a guy was jumping off mountains. So that is all I could think about while watching this.

Grinding the Crack, by Jeb Corliss (sp).
As an amateur sky diver myself, that guy is my hero. Like I said, I know its boring vid compared to the song.
