Snowboarding
Victoria Jamieson from Britain started snowboarding at 20. She is now 23 and
has won many competitions in this sport, we spoke to her when she was at a
snowboarding competition last week in Switzerland and asked her why she started
the sport.
"I've always liked all kinds of sports, especially skiing and it seemed natural to
start snowboarding, it doesn't take long to learn and you can become really good in
a few months.
We asked her if she had to do a lot of practice. "Well in winter I snowboard in
the mountain every day from 8.30 am to 4 pm. I also run and go biking, but i just
love doing it all! I like the competition and being in the mountain, it's so beautiful,
but free-riding, that's doing what you want when you're not in a competition, is the
best thing in the world for me."
We asked her what is important when you're learning. "You can learn quickly
but you need lessons, it's also important to have the right clothes so you don't get
wet because, to begin with, you spend a lot of time falling down."
