Question

i know where to get all the stuff, but is it hard? how do i do it? i just wanna ride down the mountains, and maybe do a jump or two

Answer 1

yes learn skiing instead :)

Answer 2

it depends on the person. Some people find it extremely hard and for others it comes natural. (I caught on my first time!) My advice is to just go out, take a beginner's lesson, and see if you like it. Just to warn you, the first time you go, you might not like it, but give it another try...you might decide that you love it!

good luck and happy shredding!

Answer 3

Yes it takes determination but if you keep with it, it gets pretty cool. Maybe you should rent stuff before you go. Many people think its too hard the first time and quit! Just keep trying and you can do it! good luck! :)

Answer 4

i have been snowboarding for 3 years, and i can say that  its not so difficult to  learn. the only thing is that the first and the second time you snowboard you stay the most of your time on your *** !! :) But its fun. Good Luck

Answer 5

Yes, learn skiing...if you're not up for the challenge.

It takes getting used to.  Don't think you'll be able to keep up easily with your friends who are more experienced than you.  Snowboarding just takes a lot of commitment to learn, but it's a lot more fun than skiing.

Take a lesson and get a helmet.

I wouldn't advise hitting any jumps until you're confident with your riding, and most likely not your first season.  Maybe sometime in your second if you really pick it up fast.
