Snowboarding trouble???

Question

I got a snowboard for Christmas. I have been skiing and water skiing for years, so I thought boarding would be a piece of cake. MISTAKE! I cant seem. To weave side to side going frontwards. Anyone know ho 2 do that?

Answer 1

one of the post sums it up pretty well

just remember to life up you toes or heels.

what i mean is (left foot foward)

when turning left lift up you toes a bit

turing right life up your heels a bit

--this prevents the snow from stopping you boarding and then you fall, like i did, and possibly hyperextend you wrist (as i did  :(  ...)

everything is oppistie with your right foot foward

turing left - lift up heels

turing right- life up toes

Answer 2

you have to start off slow.. take lessons. for turns remember not to let the front edge touch or a faceplant will occur.

Answer 3

Move your feet to move the snowboard. Then u need to lean to that side. It is really easy as long as you have good balance.
