Snowboarding...?

Question

I'm going to learn how to snowboard but I need a few tips first please.

Answer 1

ok well the first time you go its going to suck really bad and you'll want to give up. but just keep at it and you'll get it down eventually. when  you learn how to stop and turn, its time to get off the bunny hill. now, you don't want to bomb the hills, you want to keep a slow pace. If you feel yourself going to fast, just stop and then start going again when you're comfortable. You don't want to wear yourself out so make sure your drinking something and going in the chalet enough. good luck!!

Answer 2

No matter what don't give up!  It may be hard at first but once you get it down you will be so happy. And don't be afraid to fall! no one cares if you fall its how you learn. and remember don't lock up you legs keep them bent. ware a helmet and wrist guards. and remember use your shoulders like a steering wheel your feet will fallow. And the #1 thing to remember is HAVE FUN! Because that's what it is all about.

Good luck!

* Check the weather before starting out. Make sure that the conditions are favourable for the day or plan to be back down to the bottom of the slopes prior to the expected beginning of bad weather.

* Wear the proper clothing. As there is a lot of movement needed to snowboard, it is important to wear loose fitting clothes. Dressing in layers with an outer layer of water resistant lightweight fabric will help keep you dry and warm the whole day.

* Make sure the board you are using is the correct size and that it is in good condition. The edges of the board should be sharp especially on hard or packed snow conditions. If the edges are not sharp, you will not have control over the board leading to safety issues for both yourself and other snowboarders.

* Know your limits. Don’t try to snowboard in areas that are too difficult for your level of experiences. Likewise, don’t snowboard faster than you feel comfortable going.

* Learn how to fall. Make sure your fingers are curled under and your arms are bent when falling. Try to land with your weight on your fore arms, not on your fingers, wrists or hands to prevent breaks.

* Make sure that you are well rested and have no physical injuries prior to snowboarding. When you notice that your legs are starting to tire stop and rest. Over exerting your muscles will only lead to injury.

* Wear safety equipment such as helmets, elbow and kneepads, and protective gear for those falls that may lead to tailbone injury.

* Make sure all gear is in good condition and fits correctly.

Answer 4

Don't give up is my first tip. You may not get it right away, but u will AND it is so worth it.

Also be prepared to fall a lot while learning. Once you are beter tho u will not fall often so that is worth it to. Give it a weeks time and u'll be boarding well =]
