Well, I definitely think it takes a couple days to get the hang of snowboarding.  By "get the hang of" I mean learning to use both your edges and being able to connect turns.  Once you do that, your future in snowboarding has all the potential in the world.  \n\nIf you are really gung ho at learning how to snowboard and really want to stick with it, you should definitely take the class...however, if you are unsure if snowboarding is for you, I wouldn't recommend committing yourself for that period of time.

Since you've just started...give yourself time.  The more skill you gain with time, the more comfortable you will be on the board and will learn and create tricks naturally.   Have FUN!  Stay SAFE!

be willing to learn. I have taught childern as young as 16 months old and people as old at 80. You have to be willing to learn and take the time to practice. If you are not willing to learn and work at it, it is not worth it. Get lessons.

To learn the basic moves and strikes, a short time, but armed with this level of skill, you are more of a danger to yourself, than to your opponent. To get proficient at it, where you can defend yourself, a year to two years, depending on your god given talents.

Oh, man. I stunk at skateboarding. I mean it was fun but I took forever to learn new tricks. One of my friends learned it in like one hour. Then, another friend took one week. I took about a month. Man, turned out I took the advice from my friends the wrong way. Then one of my friends told me you were suppose to relax. So then I relaxed my body and of course my legs and I finally did one. You're suppose to pop really hard and then shift your weight to the front of the board. It's easier to jump towards the front of the board and then you improve your professional look from there.

Simply put, no. It's not hard to learn. It is hard, however, to perfect. It only takes as long as it takes for you to learn to adapt your body to the movements. So increasing your general physical condition and balance are KEY!!!\n\nBut it's worth it. LOADS of fun!

It takes knowledge and about 45 days

Practice it, over and over and over..like anything else. more you do it, the more proficient you get at doing it. Im assuming you know the grip for it and so forth.

It takes several years, and daily practice.  If you are sufficiently motivated, a minimum of about three years, I think. A decent used piano would likely set you back a couple of thousand dollars.  \n\nYou will want to take lessons, usually once a week during that time, to teach you music theory as well as finger placement and tempo, interpretation of the music.

Hold your breath for the right amount of time - too little and you become pink, too long and you become blue. It's a fine art that takes years to master. Good luck.

It's like chess. Easy to learn, but not so easy to master. Getting used to sliding on the ice and learning to sweep are the hardest parts. Just finished my first year. Very addicting once you try it. If you are interested in finding a place to curl next season, try the USA Curling website. If you're not in the US, there's a link on the website to the International Curling Federation that may be able to help you find your national association.

u wont be dizzy after using it once....theres almost no way you can use it on someone in any type of fight. its more or an acrobatic show move. i know they do it in wushu a lot maybe capoeira, any performing art....its really not that hard to learn\n\nbut thru your description i dont think you are talking bout a butterfly kick\n\n\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=SS04XT6JyV8

I was a professional ski instructor while in college.  I taught hundreds of people from age 3 to 84.  Some were very athletic and some were, well, not so athletic to put it politely.  That said, there is no set time to learn.  I taught an 8 year old girl who was a gymnist.  She was skiing advanced runs by the end of the day.  I taught a college age guy who could never grasp the basic skills to turn no matter what trick I tried during several different lessons.  It took me 3 years before I could go down anything other than a beginner run.  Two years later, I was good enough to be a ski instructor.  You just never know how quick until you get on the skis.  If you have a good sense of balance and good control of your body and feet, you should pick it up rather quickly.  If not, it could take a little longer.  If you can afford ski lessons, take them - private or semi-private lessons are better because you get more one on one instruction with the instructor.\n\nUsually, it is eaier to learn the baics to ski than snowboarding, but once you learn the basics of snowboarding, people pick it up a lot faster.  \n\nNo matter which one you decide to take up, enjoy!!!
