the falling leaf

When someone is first learning how to snowboard and they are scared shittless to attempt carving, so they go all the way down the slope on their heal side by first heading downhill with their dominant foot, and then their other foot, immitating the motion of a falling leaf.
Sarah was tired of falling on her ass every time she tried to carve, so she just did the falling leaf all the way down the slope.

Naked Run

An event at UC Santa Cruz that takes place every year the night of the first rain. A group of students goes around from college to college, collecting more crazy people on the way, in nothing but their birthday suits.
I couldn't believe my eyes when a member of the Naked Run came running into my dorm, trying to recruit more insane people.

After a day of snowboarding my calves were killing me from boarding so much on my heelside.
