Tips and tricks for snoboarding?

Question

Answer 1

All starts with the head, look where you wanna go turn shoulders in same direction followed by hips then swing your back foot out while having your front foot act as a pivot. You need to make sure while swinging your foot out that you raise that edge because if an edge is not pointing in the direction you are going and its flat against the snow it will grab the snow and turn you into a faceplant king.

Thats how to start a turn...also if you keep yourself in the turn and keep going (feet pointing downhill or back downhill) you can brake like that but make sure to be balancing on the edge thats highest up the mountain...thats what will take the most time and be most frustrating...go slow at first but not super slow because its harder to stay balanced at low speeds.

Answer 2

1) take lessons.

2) Work on the stuff that you are taught in the lessons.

3) Don't try to go too fast too soon.

The skills that are taught to beginners are important.  Work on a solid balanced position both heelside and toeside and you will be a better snowboarder in the long run.  

Most important of all "Have Fun"...  as you won't on a snowboard.

Answer 3

(1)Bring someone to help you

(2)watch some videos to learn

(3)Or you could just take lessons
