about balance: make sure you get enough speed. ofcourse it's scary in first but like riding a bike, you need speed.
and about buying a board: size: make sure the tip of the board gets to the height of your nose

enjoy boarding ^^

thanks alot

wrong its by weight not height

vouch

also i find if you put your weight on the downhill foot turning is easier and u get a little more speed as well.


i am also a ski/snowboard instructor and i was able to apply a great deal of my knowledge of skiing to help me carve on a board. I used to do a lot of racing with skiing but stoped because i fractured my lower vertebrae and took a long time to recover.

so if i want to carve
i lean on both my toes or both my heels?

i kinda worded it wrong but have your weight going downhill while leaning back and forth on your heels and toes to turn

yea when carving its not necessary to be on a flat surface of your board..its all about edging till ur doing set ups for jumps

i jump when i need to not when i want to. i end up having more fun skiing/boarding the terrain than going to a park and hitting up all the jumps and shit.

i'm the same..i rarely go into the park but that doens't mean there aren't any big natual kickers out there haha..u know wut i mean

u kids wouldnt know a big natural kicker if it kicked u in the ass.
