Snowboarding,
Sandboarding,
24hr mountainbiking,
moguls, moguls,
moguls, Who's
got
time to stay home?
Alicia Katsur
tells XGIRLSPORT what to do on the
weekend...
|
 |
What
do you like most? Speed.
It's an outlet.
& moguls!
Why? Speed is doing
something dangerous and getting away with it. It's a
thrill - pushing the limits, being boarderline in control,
almost out of control, just before you bring it back:
that moment.

started:
skiing
at 4. skateboard at 10. At
13, snowboards weren't allowed at the mtn near me, I
borrowed a friends' board and we tried it out on the
tree trails. did you take
lessons? I learn by watching.
happiest
moment? Winning the mogul competition at
Killington. (after 3 years of trying!)
advice to beginning snowboarders? give it
full 3 days, stick with it: you will advance sooner
than you think.
fav color? sky blue
pets?
Norton
the dog just died.
what is the Universe saying?
Everybody's insane!
|
 |
compete
professionally?
I
did the Green Mtn. snowboard series. There is a lot
of waiting. Turning something you like into a job, it
turns into stress. The opposite of you were doing it
in the first place. I
would rather enjoy riding.

| sandboarding?
Yea! I went in September, I've been wanting to try it for a
long time. where? Kill Devil
Hills, North Carolina (near Nag's Head). The runs are about
100 yards. the secret to gliding?
a spray of WD40 on the board, tip-to-tail for each run. It won't
budge with out it - you can even feel the breaks start to kick
in at the bottum of the run. |
 |
How
do you get the board to slide??? Coat
it with WD40!
