Learn to ride Switch ,then you wont have the fear of landing backwards,So as you spin it wont matter if your spin is coming short or too much,you will fall but dont worry hopefully you should have found powder to build a practice jump start off small with not much speed and gradually build your confidence up everyone starts like that take no notice of people say go Big you will hurt yourself and that will be it for your Holiday.(Good Luck)

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

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

This is one of the most asked questions here. Here is an answer I gave another person awhile ago:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgESUtVMj3W.xEutZUTQZs3sy6IX?qid=20060703151316AA3XHPR\n\nThe best option is to go to a resort that has a good Demo shop, that way you can try before you buy. If you can't do that go to a good board shop and not a big box store (like Big 5 or Copelands) as the people working at the board shop will probably have a better idea as to what they are talking about.\n\nThere are tons and tons of choices out there. When buying a board you need to ask yourself a few important questions.\n\n1.)How good am I?\n2.)How much do I ride?\n3.)Where do I ride?\n4.)What conditions do I ride most?\n5.)What type of rider am I?\n\nThese will help you determine what board is going to be best for you.\n\nBoards specs are confusing but I'll try and breakdown the important ones for you and what you need to look for in them.\n\nLength. There is no right or wrong length as different lengths are better for different styles of riding. Remember that your height has nothing to do with it as a board has no idea how tall you are. Most boards have a range of weights that they are suited for. Generally, a longer board is more stable and requires a bit more from it's rider to perform well and a shorter board is less stable but very easy to manuever. For the most part, freeriders who are riding powder or at very high speeds like a longer board and park riders (especially jibbers) like shorter boards for their reduced swing weight and extra manueverability. Off the top of my head I'd recommend a board no shorter than a 154 for you.\n\nWidth. This is possibly the most important measurement. How big are your feet? You should ride a board that is wide enough that your heels and your toes are just above their edges. If you have too much toe or heel drag you will hang up on your turns (excess toe drag leads to excess chin drag). If your board is too wide then it will increase the effort it will take to get the board over on edge. I've actually torn the arch of my foot riding a board that was too wide (yeah, it hurt). Go for the narrowest board possible as the performance gains of quick edge control far outweigh the minimal benefit the extra width will gain you in deep snow. It's a good idea to bring your boots with you to the shop to help with this.\n\nSidecut. When you look at a board you can see that the sides of it are cut in. If you use your imagination, you can see that this cut actually begins the arc of a circle. A board with more cut draws a smaller circle and is better suited for smaller turns. A board with less cut draws out a bigger circle for bigger turns. Generally, park riders like a board with more cut as they need that added manueverability to line up the features in the park. A freerider is usually riding faster and making bigger turns than a park rider so they usually go for a board with less cut. Also, a board with deeper cut can "hook" in powder a bit. Keep in mind that it is easier to get a longer turn out of a board with more cut than it is to get a shorter turn out of a board with less cut. (am I confusing you yet?)\n\nFlex. This is the most subjective part to buying a board. A stiffer board is much more stable and responsive but requires more attention from it's rider and will fatigue you more. A softer board is very comfortable and easy to ride but will not respond as well or be as stable, especially at speed. Jibbers like soft boards as they are less likely to hook up on the rails and freeriders like the response of stiffer boards. Most boards these days are built with a flex pattern, meaning that they can be stiff in a certain aspect and soft in another. A great park board will have a stiffer tip and tail for better pop and stability in landing but will have a soft torsional (side to side) flex that will help on the rails or when coming up a little short landing

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

Ski as high as you can.\nDo as many flips, twists, gainers, tucks, and summersaults while hanging in the sky.\nAnd.\nTry not land on your face.

I'm guessing your talking about leveling for camping. We took 2x4's and 2x12's and cut them to fit the width and length of our campers wheels. We carry four of each size with us at all times. Buy the stick on levelers for your camper and place them where you can see them easily. Just back up or pull onto the boards using the levelers as your guide. \nHappy Camping!!!

You can buy one pretty much anywhere but first get your sizing information for your body type at www.frostyrider.com Then, go to an online site or your snow shop and get a board with you dimensions. The people at the store will help you. E-bay and carigslist are always good places to buy boards, especially if you are beginner and you want a used one to start riding.

You should definitely check out www.rei.com.  since its the end of the season, theyre putting all of their snowboard stuff on clearance for 50% off.  check every night at midnight just to be safe because when they put an item online, it's usually only one or two of the item (probably stuff that they didnt sell in their stores and got sent back to the distribution center and it sells really quick.  I got my cartels from rei.com for around 85 dollars.  pretty good for the bindings.  If you tell them to ship it to the closest rei store near you, shippings free.  good luck.

Start with your height in centimeters, which is 163 cm.\nThe skis should be at least 20 cm longer than your height, and then you should make them still longer as your skiing skill increases and you want to tackle harder trails.\n\nSo 185 is about right to start, or go to 195 if you are intermediate.

Start by making the letter "C" with each skate (obviously the left one will be a backwards "C").  Make sure to bend at the knees.\n\nOnce you get that mastered, you can try and learn how to crossover going backwards, which you can do quicker...and it looks pretty cool, too.

no there isnt. in skateboarding/snowboarding the rotations are:\n 90*\n180*\n 270*\n360*\n 450*\n540*\n 630*\n720*\n 810*\n900*\n\nand it keeps going. the indented degrees are generally what you will spin into a jib/grind

Basically the best and easiest way is just to make sure you dry it off after your done shredding the slopes...Place it somewhere the extra snow can melt and just turn to water then wipe it down with a towel.  I also suggest investing in a person edge sharpener which can be found at any local ski shop or sporting goods store.  It helps for last minute sharpening or rust you want to get off before heading out for some crazy runs.  You may way to get them professionally sharpened at the beginning of the ski season at a shop also.  It helps a great deal believe it or not.  Good Luck and have fun...no worries...

As Bogey said before, its best to ask your local surfboard dealer and see what they think. Be honest about your ability and experience. I see too many people that cant surf and will never learn to surf properly simply because they are riding a board that is not suitable to their weight, height or skill level. \n\nHeres a little bit of help for you anyway, just a few examples.\n\nHeight in CMS to what kind of Starter board you would probably need, for two to five foot surf. These are probablys and not definitleys, because its still best to check em out yourself with your dealer.\n\nSomeone 150 CMS would want something around 5'8 and up\n        160 CMS would want something around 6'2 and up\n        170 CMS would want something around 6'6 and up\n        180 CMS would want something around 6'10 amd up\n        190 CMS would want something around 7,2 and up\n        200 CMS would want something around 7,6 and up\n\nYour weight is the most important issue, if you are too heavy for a certain board, it will sink when you stand on it. \n\nWhen learning its best to use a board about 2.5 Inches thick and about 21 Inches Wide.\n\nAs said before Fun Boards are pretty good for people startin out, get an NSP board or something like that.\n\nHope this helps you out. Have fun.
