build or buy a balance board, build a box/ put a sturdy piece of 2x4 couple inches of the ground and jump up on that to get balance. trampoline just tape your edges before. do butters on a smooth surface.

alright alright. Well heres what I did, and its worked out great. Your gonna want to start off with parents permission for pretty much your whole backyard space, considering you said its small. Then your going to want to get some money, to spend. And I don't mean $100, I mean like $500-$600, woods surprisingly expensive. Find some online guides or youtube videos on designs for drop in ramps. Mine is 8 ft tall, 4 ft wide, 12 ft drop, about a 70 degree angle. The wood was $310. BUY PRESSURE TREATED, ITS WORTH THE EXTRA $$. Now, build your design, get your wood cut, what ever needs to be done. Now, make sure its sturdy, nothing sucks worse than dropping in on something wobbly. NOW Build a feature, I take it that you ride park, because theres nothing else you can practice with 12 feet of riding. If you don't ride park, just don't even dream of practicing. In the case that you do ride park, start buying wood and supplies to build jibbs, or what ever. I built 3 boxes, and a PVC jib. The wood for the boxes was about $70 each box, + the HDPE (plastic, needs to be ordered online, or bought at a local plastic store) which was about $65 each sheet. My boxes are each 6 ft long. One is a flat box, and the other two are angled boxes, (can be setup for either up or down box, they start on the low side about 1 ft and go to 3.5 feet). Now, these boxes can be mixed and matched to make different jibbs. I can do a flat to down to up, or a A frame, or a up to flat to down, etc etc. I can make them how ever I want. The PVC jib was much less expensive. It cost me $11 for 10 ft of 4 inch PVC piping. The wood was about $20. Its solid, and it works for true jibbing, really good for practicing spinns on and off, because if you spin on and you don't land 100% flat, you can still ride it, because you can land 180 degrees any side. Jumps won't work, and never will, you need too much speed, and too much snow for a jump, so practicing spinns and grabs and such, just isn't realistic. As for snow, if where you live is cold, weather it snows or not, you can get snow. No matter the temperature, you can go pick up snow from behind your local ice rink (call ahead) and truck it home. Use that to ride til it melts or what ever. You many need to do a few trips. If its constantly below freezing, you can look into buying a snowathome snow machine, which is a generator, air compressor, and the snow at home nozzle. Check prices and models for the different amounts of snow. Basically, if you wana practice jibing, have a ball but its going to be expensive. I saved up for about 2 years, and did it myself, this season has gotten in two sessions already and snow hasn't even started to fall!

yea deff get some wii games like shaun white snowboarding. i tried skateboarding for the summer and it helped improve balance and stuf. i have a small hill and a park up the street, a plastic fake snowboard (i have a real one too lol but a fake cheap ones good for what im about to say). find some flat wood or buy one (like a downrail and with or without snow) practice standing on it with ur snowboard then move it to a small hill and try not to kill urself, where a helmet and just pretend ur in a terrain park. u can build jumps from snow too
