Question

I obviously don't know how. Is there any pointers in being able to snowboard okay at first? My friends and I are going north to go to the snow in 2 weeks, we live in Phoenix, so I've never been snowboarding but they all have. help!

Answer 1

Take at least one lesson. Friends don't always make a great teachers. One lesson will give you the basics. The things that helped me the most is to bend your knees and get low to lower your center of gravity, and to put your weight on your front foot (this makes it easier to turn). Good luck!

Answer 2

i strongly recommend at least one lesson to get started. once you have the basics, it's all about your confidence.

Answer 3

Well, first I'd take lessons or get your friends to teach you, but your friends might not help that much. Also, get a stomp pad or quick in and out bindings for getting off the ski lift so you wont fall as easiliy. Also, just try and make turns by pivoting your hips or using your arms to turn. Plus, dont be embarrassed that your a beginner.

GOOD LUCK!

your butt is going to cry through your first day of lessons
