SNOWBOARDING TIPS FOR KIDS
Can you give me any Snowboarding tips?
I just went for the first time yesterday and decided to forego the lessons. (ha)
i sort of got the hang of it after 6 hours of falling down. can someone please give me some sound advice that I might pass on to my kids if they too decide to take up snowboarding?
Evan is totally correct. You do yourself a disservice by not taking a lesson. Some places (Like mine) will give you a free beginner lesson if you show up to the lesson bells. They will teach you all the basics that you need to know to get down the hill with the least amount of falling and with the most confidence.
If you would like to continue trying to go it alone then here is a basic setup of how a lesson would progress:
Start with your back foot out of the binding. Go about 10 – 15 feet up a slope (make sure this is a gentle hill and other people will not be coming at you from behind farther up the hill) and then set your back foot on your stomp pad (rubber/plastic pad between bindings) let the board slide a little while you get your balance then place your weight down onto your toes and pick your heels up off the ground. Look UP in the right direction and you will turn right (if your left foot is forward) Now to do the left turn pick up your toes and put weight on your heels looking up behind you and make sure to keep your weight on your front foot (again this is if you are naturally left foot forward, reverse if you are goofy). These turns teach you almost exactly how to get off a chairlift as well as any other time you need to go a short distance and seems silly to strap all the way in, or if going uphill and you need to skate some.
When those feel pretty easy then go up to the top of a gentle bunny slope and strap both feet in. Now work on individually doing turn, Work on toe side and heel side going down the hill in a falling leaf shape pattern (toe turn till you go up the hill and stop, then shift weight onto other foot and go turn across hill uptill you go uphill and stop again, etc etc) Now work on doing the ‘J’ turns from the beginning till you get the hang of those. Then work on putting them together in an S shape turn. To slow yourself down at any time all you have to do is turn. The shape of your turn determines how quick/slowly you slow down.
