I am going snowboarding tomorrow and I am a beginner?

Question

I am going snowboarding with a friend tomorrow. I went last year 2 times and got a lesson the first time but i couldnt do anything on my own, then the second time i finally got up on my own.

So I dont really know how to do anything on the snowboard.

I am getting a lesson but only for an hour.

I am wondering what types of things should I try to do?

I will be on the bunny hill.

And also what should I wear?

Are slush pants ok because i dont have snowboarding pants.

thanks!!

Answer 1

ok if its cold ware lots of cloths in the top but ware pants that will keep your butt warm and keep yourself from getting hurt + do only as the person who is teaching you tells you to do they know what there doing me i am one and it ticks me off when the kids dont do as i say. you will do fine just dont let falling get into your head cuz after that happens your screwed cuz thats what you think you will do every time and then you will end up falling every time so just bend your knees and do as the person who is teaching you tells you to do! good luck!

Answer 2

Slush pants might work but if your a beginner that means you could be spending a lot of time on your rear end so you might want to ask your friend if they have any extra pairs. It's not a huge deal though.

When snowboarding bending your knees is crucial! You see so many new boarders and they're standing stiff as a board. When you bend your knees you have way more balance and it makes it much easier to carve. It also takes a lot of practice but if you bend your knees and keep at it i bet you'll be shredding by the end of the day!

Good luck
