How do you stop on a snowboard?

Ok, seriously, turn so that you are facing downhill horizontal to the slope of the hill, and lean back onto the blade on the back side of your board (your heel side).  And bend your knees.  Don't give up, and avoid rails and pipes until you've mastered all types of hills!

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.

sure, \n1) place your back foot on the tail of the board and your front foot anywhere from the middle of the board to right behind the front bolts, wherever feels more comfortable to you\n2)crouch down to get more pop. and then slam your back foot down on the tail of the board then jump. (you can only ollie as high as you can jump)\n3)slide your front foot up the board to get more hight\n4)when your ready to land slam the board down to the ground with confidence and ride away

ok when your doing one make sure your feet are in the right place,put your hand(fingertips) on the ground.your feet should be in the middle and on the tale.push down on the tail while jumping your fingertips will come off the ground.while in the air the firt on the tail slides back gives the board a little nudge so it flips.then quickly slide your foot back on the tale but right on the end.make sure both feet are on.then your board will drop down and you keep your balanece.that is a tip and you can think about something like if i land these ill get 1 million dollars or somethin on the lind.i hope this helps.oh yea yuo can practice in a pool,trampiline,or bed.thats what i did when i first learn how to do one now i can do them naturally.have a nice day

Rest the sail in the water with the mast at right-angles to the board. Put the centre-board down for extra stability. Squat down on the board with one foot either side of the mast. Slowly lift the sail our of the water with the up-haul rope letting the water run off the sail. Then hold on to the boom and sail away. (don't forget to learn how to turn round as well!)

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!

Due to the fact that skiing is a little easier to pickup I would say start there, to not only pick up skiing but the rule on the mountains, that way if you still want to learn snowboarding you just have to worry about not landing on your backside.

i found myself picking up snowboarding faster than skiing. by picking up, i mean i felt ready to take on the more intermmediate/advanced runs after a day or two of the bunny slopes. one board and 2 turns (backside and frontside) was a lot less to deal with than 2 poles and 2 skis and limbs flailing around in different directions. moguls are harder on a snowboard and more fun on skis. flatter runs are more frustrating on a snowboard. getting off the ski lift seems easier on skis

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.

STEP 1: Stand on the board with your rear foot placed on the tail and your front foot between the middle of your board and the front bolts.\nSTEP 2: Place the ball of your rear foot in the middle of the board so that when you push the tail down, the ball of your foot feels the pressure.\nSTEP 3: Place your front foot nearly straight across the board.\nSTEP 4: Practice pushing down as fast as you can with your back foot and putting all your weight on the tail. This is the initial motion of the trick.\nSTEP 5: Notice that the harder you push, the more your board wants to keep going up once the tail is on the ground. You will use that motion in the next step.\n\nSTEP 6: Strike the tail on the ground and jump off with your rear foot as you slide your front foot up the board (so your knee moves toward your chest).\n\nSTEP 7: Drag the side of your foot up the board as you are jumping. This will cause the board to come up with your jump. Once both feet are in the air, the board will seem to stick to them.\nSTEP 8: Come back down.\nTips & Warnings\n\nLearn this trick without rolling at first to get comfortable with the motions. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you will be able to adapt to moving and going up or down things.\nThe hardest part is the timing of when to push down on the tail, when to jump, and how quickly to suck up your legs. The secret: It's all done at the same time. The faster you do it, the easier it becomes. Think about jumping off with one foot and sucking your legs up to your chest.\nSkateboarding is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. We recommend that you seek proper training and equipment before attempting this activity.

wakeboarding is the closest you'll get to snowboarding, so do that if possible. skateboarding will help too. work on air awareness and grabs on a trampoline. strap in and hop to it. to get sponsored, first get good, then get video footage and photos and take them to local shops and try to get shop sponsored. take it from there.

OK, stand on the board, and don't fall off.\n\nKick with your dominant foot to propel yourself.\n\nRemember though, don't fall off.
