Answer 1

Heres some advice, don't give up! Yea, my first time snowboarding was when I was 12, and it was just terrible 'till I got the hang of it after the 5th trip. I was about to give up, but thank god I didn't. Most people give up before they can snowboard, and never know the fun of it. Lifes full of challenges such as this, and you gotta face it.

Answer 2

to stop:

swivel your hips to turn yourself so that you are facing frontwards. Don't lean foreward, you'll end up on your face.  Lean slightly backwards.

to turn:

this one is harder to explain, all you really have to do is lean your body slightly and turn yourself in the direction you want to turn and your board should do the rest..I'm sorry, I know that isnt a really good explanation.

falling...wll it kind of sucks no matter what, but if you fall frontwards and the weight of your board carries you farther and you start crazy slipping and falling downt he mountain then like..you'll just eat snow.  I don't have anything else to tell you but to try and fall gracefully.

Answer 3

You could somewhat practice on a skate board at least without the downhill factor  but thats all i can help you with

Answer 4

go blue.

Green are always packed and hard while blues mostly have soft power.

Answer 5

To stop turn your board flat against the slope. Turning is all in your back foot, to go left, move your back foot right. To turn right, move your back foot to the left. When you fall don't put your arms out to try and stop yourself. Thats a good way to breaks an arm or wrist. Just tuck your arms in tight and try to take the impact on your shoulder. Don't try to fight the fall or it will end up even worse. Have fun... Good luck!

Answer 6

To Stop turn the board sideways as if you were standing. To turn lean left or right. To fall without getting hurt badly fall on your bottom. I hope this helps you. Happy  New Years!

I used to snowboard but now I BMX on snow. So have fun it's easy once you start doing it.
