It’s Tuesday 4.30pm, it’s already dark, freezing, rainy and windy and you’re body screams « Go home, lie on the couch, and watch TV, don’t worry for that extra kilo, you can wear a hoodie for the next 5 months… » How on earth could you resist to this evil invitation to laziness.
I’ve dedicated all my young years to two sports that are commonly considered as “Action Sports”: Wakeboarding and Snowboarding. I could experience every aspect of them. From the thrill of learning new tricks, to the struggle of dealing with injuries.
