h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

OK just let the knees absorb the bumps and relax, this should be FUN!!!!!

*BS turns skis down the slope and immediately ends up on his backside as the skis shoot out from under him*

Hmmmm, this is trickier than I thought.

*DD starts to laugh but collapses on the next mogul himself*

This is going to hurt.

*BS unsteadily regains his feet and begins sliding gently down the slope. Unfortunately, amazed that he is actually upright and moving he forgets the bit about bending your knees....hits the mogul....performs an unintentional somersault....and ends up face down in the snow*

Snurf, gwumpf, urgh

*DD was half way back up when BS performed his somersault*

ROML

Oh dear.. Dare I attempt to learn the snowboard this time???

Give it a go you can't do any worse than the two of us.

Okay, so last time I got as far as you telling me that it wasn't worn on my head...

Try on the feet this time. That should help.

Oh yes.. Will do.
So, now I have it on my feet, what do I do?

Point the board down the slope towards those bumps and stuff and bend the knees to absorb the moguls.

Okay... I can try that...
What do I do if I find an oak or Number 1 - The Larch???

Close your eyes and hope for the best.

Sounds about right to me.
*BB shuts his eys, yet doesn't move.*

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!!!!

I can't - my eyes are closed!

hmm why does it seem like everyones abandoned the moguls?

*BS appears down the slope and hits the first mogul....remembers to absorb the impact with his knees and performs a perfect loop landing in a controlled manner and slewing to a halt just in front of saffire*

Haha, its because I have been away practicing in secret .

*Heads off for the next run...*

I nebver noticed that no-one was here - my eyes were closed.

And I was just making so no avalanche fell down on BB when he wasn't lokking.
