agree  Jan Willem van Dormolen (X): Vet cool trendy is nergens voor nodig, dat is de brontekst ook niet. Helemaal goed dus.

neutral  Dennis Seine: Ik vraag me af of dit, gezien de context van snowboarding, bedoeld wordt: het gaat hier om hoge sprongen maken.

op adem komen


Explanation:
Plekken om tussen het springen door even op adem te komen?
Gaat het om indoor of outdoor sneeuwboarden? Als het al buiten is, lijkt het me niet dat je plekken nodig hebt om een luchtje te scheppen.
