Beginner Snowboarding Tips?

First time snowboarding next Friday...any tips on snowboarding that you would like to tell a beginner?

  • If it helps, I already have a little experience with skiing, but this year, for our yearly school trip to the mountains, I have decided on switching to snowboard. I also figure skate, ...show more

  • Answer:

    lean forward, (down the slope) or be centered on the board if you lean back (up the slope) you will slip and fall.. lean a bit forward, bend you knees.. and give it at least 3 to 5 times (days on the slope) before you give up.. turning is done by pushing your back leg.. push even harder to stop.. and be carefull of where you stop.. dont stop around blind corners or hills..

Get some wrist guards and some impact shorts,they are a must for any learner. Also expect to fall abit on the first couple of days,its gets less and less as the days pass.Once you manage to link your turns you are halfway there. Dont forget to bend your knees,just like you do in skiing and also dont put to much wait on your front leg try and be balanced as much as you can,this will help you steer it better and also maybe stop you from catching an edge I started off skiing but now i dont think i could go back to it. Both are fun sports,enjoy the mountain whatever you choose to do.
