Answer 2

Here's a couple more things that will help.

1. Jump rope, 15 minutes a day.

2. Use your snowboard on an empty 2L. pop bottle with the top on but no liquid in it. The bottle will aid your feel for the board and improve your balance.

3. Go to a summer camp where you can get some good practice every day for 10 days.

4. Use a small trampoline to learn how to flex and extend your joints.

5. Go swimming and do some diving every day to practice your leg and ankle motion.

Answer 3

skate and work out your legs

try hitting the jumps so you land on the landings. if you under jump it will kill ur kness. try doing what they said and jump rope. this will help ur knee endurance.

any warren miller movies pump me up for snowboarding. they are skiing movies but they are SWEET. also check out Out Cold. its a funny movie

Answer 4

1. Possibly skateboarding or surfing as both require balance although neither are quite the same technique as snowboarding.

2. Any type of CV excercise running, bikeing, rowing etc and also weights will help strenthen your knees. But if you are having problems with them already all the excercises ive listed could also possibly make things worse. It might be an idea to see a physio who can give you a safe program so you can get your knees sorted out before they get worse.

3. Good choices by Squaw kid all the movies hes listed are excellent. Another good one is True Life the first Forum video.

Answer 5

1. Buy a Vewdo board it will help with balance
