I won two French Adaptive snowboarding world cups this week! This officially makes me the highest ranked female adaptive snowboarder in the world! Nuts! Not too bad for a chick with legs made of metal..lol.. bionic, hightech carbon fiber that is... I have actually never been a very competitive snowboarder. I have always stood true to what it is that I love about snowboarding which is not the competition but the freedom and independence I feel while carving down a mountain of powder.
Although, now I can say that it is very rewarding being involved with competition.I know that when I compete that I am helping adaptive snowboarding grow, that I am pushing not only my boundaries but the limitiations of the sport in general, that I am a part of the growth of something much much bigger then myself!

ReplyDeleteI looked for your blog after seeing your TED talk and... I recognized Orcieres-Merlette ski resort on one of the photos!!! I have been snowboarding there for years as my grandmother lives in the Champsaur valley :-D well done for appreciating Genepi too... I wish you all the best for the future, you certainly are an inspiration to many.
