You would probably be a good snowboarder! You should try it if you haven't, I bet you'd dig it. 😉

A good way to break an ankle. 😛
You'd think, but it's not true. Since both your feet are locked into position on a singular plank, your board basically just tumbles with you during bails. I'd say 85 percent of the time I bail, I simply roll out of it and keep on going without losing much momentum.
Skiing on the other hand is way crazier on the ankles since your legs can to the splits and bend different ways. I broke my leg the first time I ever went skiing. It was also the last time I ever went skiing. 😉
