You also know how to fall. Just go easy. The more board angle the more bite. Keep loose let your muscles flow so they don't work against you. Ever hear a boarder chattering trying to stop? That's why.....being loose keeps your weight over your edge and doesn't push it away......chattering happens when you don't have your weight on the edge. Even when you're there pm me and let me know what's happening......I know I can help.

i can skateboard (decent) and water ski on one (pretty good) so i think i can handle it. but falling much doesn't appeal to a 51 yr old. thanks again!!

@rkymtnman really....keep loose, most people stiffen up and your body mechanics stop working.....you need to flow with it..your muscles and joints are your suspension.


If your 8yo needs to call because you get taken down in a sled.....I also know manual pretty well.....

You got this! It's not hard if on the right terrain.

Bitch!



LOL kidding.....you got this bud. Start there, see how it feels. A lot of crossovers pick it up quickly because you already understand "edge control"

Yeah man, keep those knees bouncy and think about it like a full body movement to turn leading with the shoulders and flowing to your feet. I was a life long skier till my buddies got me to try one of their snowboards in like 96' and after I felt that first carve it all clicked and I was hooked. Powder days are absolute cloud surfing magic.

Since it's LOL thread...I went way too big in a terrain park at Steamboat and broke my tail bone. My ass was on fire so I pulled the back of my pants down and leaned into the snow bank to freeze it on a lovely busy Sunday afternoon. Numbed it enough to shimmy to the lodge.
