Yesterday morning while I was snowboarding,I had the most fantastic experience!

I was minding my own business, flying down a snow covered mountain with my feet strapped to a board and loving the feeling, when suddenly out of nowhere it seemed, there was a skier ahead in my pathway. Now, I try to act like I think Jesus would act while boarding, and so I try to be polite and give people around me the space to enjoy themselves, much like I would wish people to treat me. (I can't stand those crazy young boys who wizz past way too close for comfort!)
So, in effort to give this skier as wide a berth as possible I pointed my board straight ahead and refrained from carving (which, buy the way, does slow your speed down and give you more control). Well, by the time I passed the skier I was clocking it pretty fast and as my attention was focused elsewhere, I realized too late that I was about to fly over a hill at top speed. Well, I wish I could've seen the look on my face when I flew over the hill and realized that I was no longer in contact with the ground! In fact, I believe it was at least half a foot away from me! Well, the looks on my face went from shock to terror to elation when I successfully landed and continued boarding! And I was going even faster than before the jump! Thankfully, I did manage to slow down and regain a slightly sane speed. As I continued down the hill, the grin on my face grew larger and larger until it quite took over! I realized that I just made a jump! And I didn't fall! And my adrenaline was soaring! How cool!
For the rest of that morning, I must've looked like someone who had won the lottery. And in my book, I had :-)

Knowing you, I'm only surprised that it was your first jump! :-)
