First Time Snow Boarding

This was my first attempt at going snowboarding and I figured I would record it and share my experience. I went yesterday and I'm really sore today, pretty much every muscle in my body is in some sort of pain, he he. Either way this video was shot with my new Kodak Zi8 at 720p at 60 frames per second. Although when I exported it using "YouTube Widescreen 720p" preset in Adobe Premier it rendered it at 24 frames per second so it doesn't look as smooth as the original footage.

is it normal for people to be this slow their first time?

@grant5116 I don't know but it definitely was for me. It was hard to keep my balance and that only got harder the faster I went.

It works really good. I was actually amazed at how well this little camera captures video. The original video was shot using the 720P mode at 60 frames per second which made all the action look really clear. However when I saved out the video for YouTube I encoded it at 24 frames per second and therefore you don't get to see all the smoothness of the original.

Yes, the day after is always the worst. I was always surprised at the places that hurt - 'I have a muscle _there_?!' Ouch. Skiing is worse though.
