"When I started learning how to ride and I fell really hard on my first run. But luckily my friend was there to laugh at it with me. I got back up and kept going and started linking turns and having serious amounts of fun. It's amazing how fast you pick it up when your board's so forgiving and easy to ride. To top it all off, I had the sweetest graphics on the hill!" Nikki Gerardi, 21, Tahoe City, CA
