Snowboarding beginner park tips and tricks?

try riding up onto a box in the terrain park and just 50-50 it because it will help you towards grinding bigger things 180 is a very easy manuver you just jump over to the sid kind of but turn your head and try to sppin, then once you get better try it off jumps, and it will help towords your spinning i recomend buying a trampoline to help train for your tricks

Before I take students into the terrain park, I make sure they are competent on natural terrain features. I would have you do these manuevers before I take you in the park: Tail-Press Manual for 20 feet on a Green slope. Straight Air off a Green Run roller, like you'll probably find on 'Happy Valley'. Straight Air off a Blue Run roller, like you'll probably find on 'Dr. Doug'. Toe-to-Heel 180's on 'Undergrad'. 180's off a Green roller. Straight Air Drop of at least 5 feet. 50-50 over a bamboo pole nearly buried in the snow. Frontside boardslide over a bamboo pole nearly buried in the snow. Frontside boardslide over the spine of small Blue Run moguls. All that, should take 2 days tops. Then we go to the Park and start 50-50 over the lowest, widest box. Let me know how it goes. This wouldn't hurt either: March Break Park & Pipe Camp at Blue Mountain This camp is open to all levels of skiers and boarders, with groups being created based on skill. March 15 –19 $290

start off slow. go in your backyard build 1 small jump 1 medium jump 1 large jump(or more in between) hit those first, if your finding those easy build up them a little more soon if your getting comfortable landing the large jump start making efforts to do a "turn" in the esiest terms. once you got that down go to a local school and build a large jump work on lamding that, stoping, and clearing. When I mean clearing I mean moving from the area your in, we all hate it when we want to hit the rail and somone s right infront of it. Once you got that done your can hit the terrain. work on 180's i find them basic turn your body around to look at the other side of the mountain(aka left side right side) then when you land go back to your original position. Hope I helped :] Happy Shredding and good luck. [EDIT] I forgot one thing...NEVER do any terrain park alone. You always want someone to sport you, anything can happen, boarding is a rigerous sport so wear a helmet PLEASE they are not lame no one laugh at you let it be your friend :) And as Bristol said The terrain park is man made so anything could happen that would be dangerous you can hit an ice spot perhaps, so WEAR A HELMET

it depends on what you want to do. if you want to do rails and boxes i would start out with a 50-50 grind. If you want to do jumps i would start off with 180's or grabs.

start small, just ride across boxes, go over jumps and hit the wider rails in the progression park, then as you get comfortable with that add more stuff such as grabs, 180's, and try riding harder rails that are narrow and might require you to leap onto them if you don't wear a helmet already you really should wear one some tips for the park would include * Freestyle Terrain contains man-made and natural terrain variations. * Freestyle Terrain changes constantly due to weather and use. * Inspect Freestyle Terrain before using and throughout the day. * In jumping and using this terrain, you assume the risk of serious injury. * Be courteous and respect others. * One user on a terrain feature at a time. * Never jump blindly; use a spotter when necessary. Look Before You Leap! * It is your responsibility to control your body on the ground and in the air. * Always clear the landing area quickly. * Always ski and ride in control and within your ability. never feel like you have to keep up with other people in the park, doing stuff you aren't ready for is a good way of getting hurt expect to fall, get hurt ride through pain etc. everybody falls but there is too much fun to be had in the park not to try it good luck
