How To
How can I get started snowboarding?
This section will explain how to begin snowboarding. We'll cover everything from what equipment to buy, where to go, how to learn, etc.
Let's start with some basic definitions...
"Snowboard" - A board attached to your feet used for riding down hills while skiing. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. To aid speed control, the front edge is generally wider than the rear edge.
"Skier" - Someone who rides a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. You can do this on either natural terrains like mountains, or man-made terrains such as ski resorts. Skiing is a sport that requires special equipment. These include skis (poles), bindings boots, jackets gloves, goggles sunglasses, socks and wax.
"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. To do so, you use your legs to push against the ground at the same time as pulling your back leg up and kicking your front leg forward. Keep going at this speed until you get to the desired speed. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you have reached your desired speed, let your legs relax and allow them to come together. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are different ways to measure speed. Some prefer to count laps around a mountain, while others prefer the distance from one turn and another. To practice speed control, you can either time yourself or count laps. Practice makes perfect!
Once you have mastered the art of slowing down and speeding things up, it's time for you to master how to turn. To turn, you must simply lean to the side you desire to move towards. Lean too far, and you will crash into the ground. Don't lean too far and you won’t be able move. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves performed on the slopes that require precise timing and balance. They include tricks such as flips and spins.
There are many types of tricks. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick has its own requirements. For instance, if you're trying to jump over something, you might have to spin 180 degrees in midair before landing on the other side.
There are many types of tricks. Some tricks are precise and accurate, while others require strength and agility. Other tricks require finesse and precision.
Tricks are difficult to master. However, once you have mastered them, you will be able to perform them anywhere and anytime. Skiing is often considered a sport that's only for adults, but kids enjoy the thrill of skiing. It's a lot of fun to watch children skate down hills and flip over obstacles.
