how to setup binding on snowboard?
345595
Its all about how you feel and how you ride.  If you tend to do more freeriding you want an alpine style setup (positive angle on front binding and 0 or positive angle on your back binding).  If you do more park or street rails you want to go duck footed (positive angle on front binding and negative angle on back binding).  Try differet setups out to see what you like best and remember its all about personal preference and everyone's setup is different.  The more traditional, beginner setup is +15 degrees front, and 0 degrees back.  I myself ride +15 front and -12 back.

The biggest trick to the landing is lining your board parallel with ground. This is tricky at first because when you leave the lip, your at a different angle then the one you're going to have to land at. Now, naturally gravity will adjust your board a bit, but ultimately the control is up to you. You do have some leeway with this however, because your board can "slap" a little bit when you land. This is the benifit of snowboarding as opposed to skiboarding (short skis). Also, keep your knees flexed and slightly bent when you land and make sure your direction of travel doesn't change until you're confident enough.

Dude man I love to snowboard! And you don't really do an ollie. Since your feet are strapped in you can't really do an ollie. The way you get air is you almost kinda "hop". Or if your going off a slant ramp then you just kinda "glide" off with your knees bent alot. Don't know what else to tell you bra! Aloha!

I'm a snowboarding instructor and it is super easy to do.  To start come in regualr and really it is about elbiow position and take off, depends on whether you are going frontside or back side.  If backside try to redistribute your weight so that you take off of your nose, rotate your shoulders, becasuse where your upper body goes so does your lower body, remeber to twist that head around to spot your landing.   If going frontside, lean back a little more, so most of your weight is on your back leg. try to take off on your tail, same time rotation constant rotation of your shoulders.  If you want to spin faster bring your arms and shoulders in toward your body.

any nearby mountain is good.  but don't waste your money on instructors they will just baby you and allow you to quit. go with a competitive friend, preferrably someone who is big on snowboarding and not willing to wait for you, this way you force yourself to get off your butt and go!

ive been skiing since i was 2 and i can do this pretty well. it depends on the binding. there is a screw on the back of the binding. loosen it, then push it back or foward(depending if the boot is too big or to small) once it is in the right position then you need to tighten the screw. if it is giving you trouble then take it into the ski shop.

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!

If you go on ebay and search for a snowboard, you can find complete snowboard packages for pretty inexpensively. And all you're really looking for is a cheap board and some good inexpensive boots. The most important thing to do with your board is to get it edged and waxed before you go. Any board is good with the proper care. Got to ebay, look in the newspaper, and try these sites\nwww.shopzilla.com\nwww.shopping.com\nwww.backcountryoutlet.com

i would recommend checking in with a rental shop when you get to the mountain, with the new parabolic ski technology and even a "smart ski" (see link below)try out some demo's before and if you decide to buy, if you a "couple times a season" skier i wouldnt buy at all, and always rent. that way you get to ski on new tech every time.\n\n the binding is the most important aspect of skiing levels...don't lie about your height weight or ability level here!\n\nthe only question you need to ask your self is, "how fast do i want to go!"

When you try to do an ollie hold on to a rail and that might help. Pop up your board and then with the opposite foot, Push down. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying! ;)

You are going to want lots of layers, remember if you get too hot you can just peel a few off. Most resorts offer lessons with certified instructors. You'll need to rent a board and some boots, I recommend strap in bindings, not click in bindings because sometimes those come off. Denver is a good place but Boulder and Telluride are better. Denver is a little overrated, sorry to the people that live there and love it! If you don't want to take lessons from the resort, you can find places around the resort you want that offer lessons as well. I can't stress the clothes thing enough. Layers and layers. And wear waterproof pants with comfortable pants underneath. I wear jeans and people think I'm crazy, but it's easiest for me. You'll want a hat because your ears will freeze and warm gloves because your hands will freeze. You'll be falling a lot so make sure that you are sealed up in your clothes and no snow can get in because that is the least comfortable thing in the world. I love snowboarding so I hope you like it too!
