Can anyone help me on learning how to snowboard?

Question

I'm going to the smokies in a couple of days to go snowboarding. It will be my first time, and I'm really nervous.

First of all, I live in Georgia so I haven't seen snow in ages.

And I'm only going for a day so I'm not going to be able to take any lessons.

If anyone has any tips on how to snowboard or anything please feel free to share them.

Oh and another thing is, if you think that snowboarding is sort of a bad choice for a beginner do you think I should start of with skiing?

Answer 1

Skiing is a little easier to pick up, but i think snowboarding is more fun and rewarding.

Just be patient, because you probably are not going to pick it up right away (it took me a few days to get it)

Dont give up or get discouraged!

If you are female, make sure you are getting the right size boot! the first time i did terribly because I asked for a size 8 (mysize) but i didnt realize they do it by MENs sizes (so, a mens 8 is a womans 10) Size really DOES matter with snowboard boots (hehe)

I cant really explain how i learned, because i was ditched on the bunny slope alone my first time

Answer 2

Answer 3

Snowboarding is simply the best sport there is, and if your like me and love skateboarding, surfin etc, you'll be addicted!! its a bit hard to pick up, skateboarding really helps improve and prepare your balance. i'm afraid it could take 1-2 days to get the hang of it. before then you WILL fall, and it may hurt. but bear it, and have a laugh. DONT GIVE UP!!! try to go as early as possible, like at 7.30 or 8. walk up the baby slopes the first time, as    LIFTS    ARE      MURDER!!!! do get a lesson for an hour though it really helps.

what really helped me though, was researching on the internet on how to do it. i'll give you a link on this website that shows you exactly how, and just visualise yourself doing it. it made it so much easier when i knew what i was meant to do haha

and trust me, if you go once, you WILL want to go again! haha

have fun x*x
