Believe me Ally, I have my fair share of embarrassing moments and dont take things too seriously and normally laugh myself!!!

The one outside the mountain cafe is a classic one. Love it. I was waiting for a lift one day, when my dad caught up I turned round to get on the lift only to find that I had caught my ski tip in between the holes in the netting....

BANG!!

Then all tied up in the netting....not a good look! :oops:

Ally if your not falling over your not pushing yourself hard enough. Everyone falls over and those that claim they don't are not pushing there limits to progress. Plus its all part of the fun.

I was at the local indoor ski slope and went over a box, came off the end slipped and slid down the slope, under some red netting which separated the slope from the kid's ice slide. Past the line of kids and luckily I stopped before I got to the slide otherwise I would of gone all the way down. Unclipped the board smiled at all the laughing kids and crawled back under the net.

Its all fun and games.

You see, again the J2Ski crowd always prepared to laugh at themself! With me, I always like to get the laughing in first before the rest of the slopes point and laugh!!

Agree with TowerBridgeAndy......If you aint falling you aint pushing yourself.

So it seems I'm not pushing myself then because the only time I fall over tends to be in a lift queue when I'm standing still.

I know what I'm capable of when 'reading' the slopes, and I know I slow down when I think there's a chance of going arse over tit, and I know I need to push myself through those moments.

So I'm going to this holiday, and I will let you know how many times I fall over :)
