Hi Steve
           I've been a snowboarder for the last 7 years now and just recently just started powerbocking. I think it's harder to pick up snowboarding then powerbocking so you should be fine. Though powerbocking looks harder to master :Straddle5:

Hi Steve

I'm 17st ish  :haha: and 6ft 3 1/2" and wait for it I'm the wrong end of 48 so you've got a long way to go in all directions to be fattest/tallest/oldest

As far as picking it up just take your time and wear wristguards kneepads and elbowpads

Oh and a cushion stuffed down your trousers could help  :haha:
