147423
i just started snowboarding this year, but i started learning to jump yesterday.  its pretty easy to just go off little ones the most important thing is DONT TURN IN THE AIR and try to land on your edge no matter what you will fall.  pick up some speed and ride over the jump and land with your nose facing right down the hill... once you have landed are out a few feet you can carve/edge/ stop... just make sure that none is following right behind you.  trust youself... and just go for it.  i dunno for me it was just kinda natural... just do waht feels right but DONT TURN IN TEH AIR i cant stress that enough.  and make sure your board is well waxed.  i hope this helps you.

Hey banannas a kick flip is a basic okay. Its already a regular flip. Okay dude start by riding at a slow steady and comfortable speed. Put ur back foot on the end on the curve and ur front foot in the middle of the board. Push ur back foot down and drag ur front foot all the way up the board but drag it at n angle towards u. Hope I helped thanx!!!! (6)

if you are a beginner at snowboarding you need to get an instructor they are very helpful! my step brother has been workin at ski resorts for a very long time so i have been snowboarding and skiing. its very fun. the first thing you need to do is if your snowboarding is stay on the bunny hill for a while to get used to snowboarding than work your way up ask some people to help you better understand it more and find a ski resort with a lot of snow

Practice the position on the floor before you try it on the ice. Push your hip foreward on the leg that you are standing on. Open the other hip and pull your leg up. Make sure that you are not dropping either of your shoulders. Good luck!

My first few rides (season) were great, but I fell alot. I never rode one of those bud boards. Snowboard bindings are important. The bindings should clamp your feet/boots onto the board, like pedals on a bike. There's always time to snowboard. Use your front foot to steer. Wear gloves and a helmet.

um boneless? i dont really do them much but i can think of a few things you could do. if you wanna finger flip grab the board at the nose when you pop your bonelesss or what ever. make sure you grab it with your 4 fingers on the grip and the thumb on the underside. feels weird but pretty easy to make flip. so just flip it and jump on. no complys are pretty cool but kinda hard. you dont actually grab the board but you can take a foot off to pop your board. there are many ways to do like old school kickflips. one that i find pretty easy is with your hand. ok your ridin your board and you put your front foot on the ground and pop your board w/ your back foot. when the board pops up smack the side with your hand and it should flip. cavemans? um go caveman a rail. thats fun kinda scary but yea. um you can like caveman fingerflip manual. i can do them but my friend can. just like run up to the manual pad and do a fingerflip on to it but you gotta land in a manual and thats where i always fall. they are kinda cool. ha good luck doin anything mullen can. that dudes nuts. 720 double flips. like 2 360 flips in one. crazyness. double flip rewinds. you can prolly learn how to do some casper flips and stuff but i think  that stuffs gay. unless you do it moving. like a casper slide on a box. that would be cool. i dont kno anyone who can do those besides mullen. maybe daewon song.

Well you could try http://www.womenssnowboard.com for some advice on this.  Essentially it all breaks down to preference, riding style, and location.  First figure out where you will be snowboarding. Then choose a slightly smaller board for jumps and tricks or a longer board for speed and slalom.  the board should be roughly the same size as you honestly unless you want to spin easier.\n\nThe boots will roughly translate across in size.  Burton make some good boots but I was a fan of the old airwalk boots for wearing all day long.

Put one foot on the board, and push with the other. Wear kneepads/elbow pads and helmet, you can hurt yourself. Practice skating around at first on a flat area. Most people will get good with one positioning at first. I.e left foot on the board, or right foot on the board. I personally started with my left foot on the board, I would push with my right, so that means when you are moving your left foot will be forward so thats where your left foot goes, a bit forward. But you can reverse it.\n\nThe first things you try doing are: just skating around, then when you are comfortable with that try going down some small inclines/hills. After that you can try doing manuals thast where you lift up your left foot to balance on only 2 of the wheels, the back set of trucks. Manuals are a good way to get your balance. After that you can try to do an Ollie, which is basically jumping with the skateboard, and actually geting the skateboard to come up with you... basically you jump and drag your front foot up on a diagonal , using the grip tape a bit. Well, skateboarding takes alot of skill and practice, and once you get comfortable go to a skatepart. You can learn alot from people there! and most important, have fun!

i also started skiing and switched to snowboarding after like 5 years of ski exp.  I got on the mountain day 1 with my snowboard, went to a green trail, did 2 or 3 runs before I was bombnig down blues and soon single diamonds. I kid you not, it was extremely easy for me to pick up having a ski backround.  Just read up online on how to turn on a snowboard and remember it when ur on the hill.  if you google 'how to turn snowboard' you will find pages.  A snowboard is basically a big ski.  if you have the curve skis then you know how easy it is to turn: you put some weight on your right ski at the big toe and take the weight off the left to turn to the left, more pressure and lean = sharper turn.  as you let off the pressure your skis fall back to straight down the mountain.  just remember the principles of where you place weight to turn and apply it to a snowboard - heel edge to toe edge.  Just be careful to not prematurely shift the weight to one edge while that edge is still downhill.  i.e. you turn to the left on your heel, and then while still facing diagonally on the slope you shift to the toe edge.  You have to let the board return to its natural downhill direction before doing this or you will just catch the edge and fall on your face.  just work it all out in your mind with what you know from skiing like I did and you'll be fine!

I learned by \n1. Practicing just turning my board 180 degrees\n2. Then lifting the front edge of the board as I turned\n3. And then finally by going off a bump and jumping as I began to turn.   \n\nAbout.com has good information on basic tricks- here is what they say:\n\n1.   Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.\n\n2.   Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.\n\n3.   At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.\n\n4.   Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees.\n\n5.   Look down between your legs to spot your landing.\n\n6.   Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.\n\n7.   As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.\n\n(I deleted a step- they threw in an Indy grab...)\n\nAlso, check out some of their other basic trick instructions- they're pretty good!

It depends what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to speed up, you move forward on the board. If you are slowing down you move back. When turning, you'd usually grab the side of the board in the rail, in the direction you are turning, and dig that elbow into the rail and pull the nose with your opposite hand. i.e. if you are turning left, your left arm would be resting above the rail with your left hand gripping the rail. Push your left elbow down so the rail can grab the water. Then with your right hand grasping the nose of the board, pull towards you and slightly into the direction you would like to turn.

Set up several sturdy wooden boxes of varying heights. Jump onto the lowest, then off, then onto the next highest, and so on, without resting in between jumps. This also works with hurdles.

Dude if your a regular sk8r, take your right hand, grab the middle of the board, quickly take your left foot off the board, place it on the ground, keep your right foot on the board and don't let it go with your hand, pivot a 180 on your left foot, push off the left foot and land fakie.If your goofy, sorry, just do the opposite of what I said. Aloha!

There are two basic ways:\n1) Take a bit of a run-up and jump into the air about a meter infront of the end of the board.  Time the speed and distance so you land near the end of the board (as close as possible without danger of slipping off - you will crack your back and head on the edge of the board).  As you are in the air raise your legs a bit and as you come down straighten your legs onto the board.  With your weight pushing the board down and the thrust of you legs it will give you extra spring.  This will project you up into the air quite high and because of the run-up, forward.  Sort of go up and then bend in the air down into the dive.  This is a good way to start.   Oh yes, as you feel the board is about to spring you up push with your legs, down.  This will give you more spring and lift.\nYou will get the feel of it after a few jumps.\n\n2) Stand on the dge of the board and jump up, raise your legs and as you come down straighten them into the spring of the board. (like above). Do this mabe three times and you will get good height (like in a trampoline).  Then dive.  With this you don't have the forward motion so becareful you will land near the fron of the board, on the last spring, spring forward.  Do the same bend in the air and dive in.\n\nIf you have a trampoline to practice the leg movement on - great.  If not keep practicing till you get it (usually 5 or so jumps).  The first few might be bit odd.  From there you can start doing summersaults and stuff using the run-up as forward momentum.  Only do this when you are comfortable though.  And be prepared for a couple of very ouch landings.  Good fun!  Its all about co-ords and timing.  After a few jumps it is second nature and you won't even think about it.\n\nGood luck and happy landings!

Before you start an ollie you must first set your feet up with the front foot near the middle of the board and the back foot near the edge of the tail (check out some videos on youtube for refference). Lean forward, almost as if you're trying to look over the nose (front end) of the board. Now push down quickly with your back leg, slamming the tail into the ground, and slide the edge of your front foot up the griptape. This should cause the board to propell upward due to the acceleration of your foot and the friction of the griptape rubbing against your shoe. Level out your back foot and try to compact your body into as small fo a ball as possible (to get the most out of your ollie). Try to land on the bolts as this is both more stable and less stressing on the board.

how are you supposed to swim on the moon? what about snowboard? i think it is pretty hard to do sports without much gravity.
