my favorite trucks are tensor lows. but it depends on what type of skating you do. if you skate transitions or QPs and stuff like that, i'd say fury.for street: tensors, they have that slider piece for better nose and tail slides. and if you skate street you probably want lows. it feels smooth and lets you land easier.

It all depends on how much money you have to spend, but a  Burton Snowboard would be ideal, they have the best snowboards. I just bought a 2006 Burton Custom X 158. It's really nice.\n\nCheck the 2006 lineup of boards at:\nwww.burton.com

ride snowboards have a great Freestyle (park) boards with a lot of wide options. I am 6', 170 and size 12, i have a 159 santa cruz board (regular),  a 154 ride (reg) and a 131 nidecker (reg) for park. i tried a wide board once and hated it. i couldn't cut and carve as quick as i could with a reg board. I adjusted my bindings perfectly so i have zero toe or heel drag. they also make "risers" it lifts the binding a bit so you get no toe drag. My favorite setup i have for just freeriding is '06 santa cruz 'duo freedom' board, '06 ride SPI bindings, and '06 ride 'amp' boots\n\nLong time boarder...snowboard instructor at california resort

How To Snowboard\n\nYou’re standing at the edge of the slope.  You look down at the endless road of snow and a sense of concern overwhelms you.  Freezing and fearful, you wish you had taken a lesson.  It is essential to learn the basics of snowboarding, before attempting to master the sport.\nFirst, you must decide of the time of day.  An early start is recommended since it gets very crowded.  Most lifts open at nine o’clock.  Also, consider the weather condition.  Check weather forecasts before arrival.  Wear many removable layers of clothing, and always be sure the outermost layer is 100% waterproof.  Also, always wear goggles.  Visibility and eye protection is very important.\nSecond, before hopping on the lift, you should become familiar with the parts of the snowboard.  Always wear the right size boots, and make sure they support on your ankles.  Wearing boots that are too tight can leave you with sore ankles or chin splints.  After choosing the perfect boot, consider your choice of binding.  The bindings are what clip your boots to the board.  There are two different types of bindings.  The clipping binding has a calf support in the back, and has two clips that snap around your boot.  This type of binding is the safest.  The other type of binding, the step-in, is made to just step directly on the board.  This one has no safely clip or back support.  It is less of a hassle, but most people do not feel as safe in them.  I suggest the clipping binding, because I feel the extra support on my calves gives me more control.  Once you have decided on the binding, choose your board.  Snowboards are made customized.  They vary in length and \n\nweight depending on the size and height of the rider.  The snowboard is measured in inches.  Children ride between a 38”-43”.  Women usually ride between 45”-53.  For men, the sizes can run from 55”-65”.  \nAfter choosing all the proper equipment, it is now time to approach the lift.  The lift assistant will line you into the path of the chair.  Lean back as you feel the chair picking you up.  Grasp the handlebars of the chair as it lifts you.  Failure to do this will cause you to fall off and you could get ran over by the chair  (This knowledge comes from a very humiliating personal experience).  The ride on the lift takes about five to ten minutes, but this depends on which run you choose.  As you approach the end of the lift, it is advised to signal the assistant to slow the lift down.  Most beginners find the lift runs too fast to exit safely.  Sit on the edge of the chair and ski off to the start of the run.\nOkay, now that you’re safely off the lift, and strapped in, let’s go!  The key is to stay parallel with the hill.  Keep you knees soft and slightly bent.  This will enable you to turn.  Since the hill can be very steep, it is important to have control to slow down and also came to a complete stop.  To do either, take your back foot and pull it forward while digging into the snow.  This will bring you perpendicular with the hill.  Slowing down takes a lot of practice.  Do keep in mind; however, that you will definitely takes a few plunges.  Try not to get discouraged and remember that it is very normal to spend most of the time on your behind than actually skiing.  This brings us to the next step.\nSafety is the most important factor in snowboarding.  Snowboarding can be a very fast and dangerous sport, so knowing snowboard safety is vital.  Basically, the faster you ride, the harder you fall.  It is depending on how you fall that makes all the difference.  If you find yourself loosing control and fall, do not ever catch yourself with your wrists.  It is a natural reaction to catch a fall by bracing yourself with your wrists, but this can cause a lot of damage.  It can possibly lead to sprained or broken wrists.  Furthermore, if you land on your wrists, your elbows are likely to lockout, leaving you with dislocated elbows.  To avoid these painful outcomes, always

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!

I can do both and I think initially snowboarding is more difficult, but once you get the hang of riding it's much easier than skiing (at least for me). If you skateboard or wakeboard or surf then snowboarding will probably be easier for you. If you know how to waterski then try skiing. I like snowboarding better because you only have to worry about one thing - the board! Having 2 poles and 2 skis that can go flying all over the place when you fall is too much trouble for me =) If you are interested in moguls then learn to ski, but if you are interested in being in the park and halfpipe then snowboarding is your best bet.

snowboarding is alot more diffrent then skateboarding is in a whole lot of aspects..First off your feet are stuck to the board and you dont pedeal at all and the fact you have no wheels under you and your on snow or ice and using your edges of the snowboard most of the time and just the overall fell of the ride is just completly diffrent from each other...Since you skateboard you should have good balance and eye feet cordnation and that should help you out alot as it did with me but thier is alot to learn when you first jump on a snowboard take it easy and simple at first and have fun learning..

I've never tried either of them, but it seems like skiing would be a little easier than snowboarding.

Hey, totally agree with you, Paul G!  Snowboarders need to GET OUT OF THE WAY.  I happen to know some really cool snowboarders who don't sit in the middle of the slope.  Usually the people who do that are people who have never been on a mountain in their life and need to be on the bunny slope taking lessons.  Sure, snow sports are tiring and it's fun to rest and chat with your friends.  In case you haven't noticed, that is what the lifts are for.  If you don't have enough endurance to make it down a run, ride the bunny slope!\n\nI'm not just complaining about snowboarders; stopping in the middle of the slope is flat out dangerous.  People can't see you and snowboarders with their back uphill can't see an out-of-control young skier/boarder.  Even some of the most skilled skiers/riders can't avoid hitting some lazy snowboarder!  At one of my home resorts, there is a large hump (in the middle of the hill, not in the terrain park) with just enough lip to catch a little air.  There was a young snowboarder sitting just under it, so I was halfway off the jump before I realized that there was a person at my landing site.   I had to add a little jump turn to avoid him.  It is dangerous to the snowboarder.  JUST DON'T DO IT!  \n\nNext time you out-of-shape snowboarders fancy a break, pull to the edge of the slope where all of the other people can see you.  Make sure it is a low traffic area, not a place where the trails merge.  NEVER EVER sit down in the middle of a crowded slope.  I've seen ski patrol pull the tickets of snowboarders blocking a crowded area.  Be considerate of the other people around you.  That is the number one rule of snowsports.  If we stopped paying attention, injuries would increase tenfold.  \n\nDON'T BE A STUPID SNOWBOARDER!
