Assuming you're a beginer, practice all your simple "J'' turns using both your toeside edges and heelside edges. once you have your edges down start pointing your board down the hill, each time going further and further. but remember you must have your turns and stopping down before you start shooting down the hill. \n\nIf you post another question telling exactly what you need work on, i could answer better.

You cannot.\nHowever you can learn from the mistakes of others (and their successes) to take advantage of their experiences,  instead of having to bump your head (life) against most obstacles and mistakes that are possible. \nAim high, it is difficult to get there, but you will "land" higher than if you aimed at what you thought was "OK".

You understand it, then detach from it and rememberthe feeling. Once you come to grips you can only go up from there. start off with small goals and work your way up doing larger tasks. Don't overwhelm yourself and be sure to talk to someone to get another view or just to vent.

First of all you are trying to be more than what you are.  Avoid pretending.  Try to be genuine and realistic.  There can be mistakes when you talk.  Quality is attained gradually.  All of a sudden no one can be the best.  Time and efforts are needed.  While trying to improve give attention to those who speak proper language. Take some time in the evening to refer dictionary to solve your doubts.

With practice... lots of practice.  Best way is language tapes, and a personal recorder. Record yourself speaking, then play the recording back. Listen at how you sound. Practice speaking the words that are not quite right. In time, you will get better.

Well, the plainest way to say this is that you don't improve motivation.'  You just get up and do.  In my opinion there are two basic ways of approaching everything; Enjoy yourself getting 'it' done now or being miserable and procastinating.  The sooner you get up and do something the sooner you realize that your good at it, it was fun, and surprisingly not that big of a deal.

You have to build up your leg muscles and keep practicing.  \nYou should time yourself and then you can see when you are improving.\n\nalso get someone to coach you. someone that knows how and maybe won stuff.\n\nI haven't done this so I'm not an expert yet.\n\nsteffy

How can YOU improve OUR quality of life....\nLead by example  :-)  Use your manners, be socially acceptable, dress appropriately, act appropriately.  Choose your words carefully, apologize where apologies are due.  Turn the other cheek.  Be forgiving.  Learn from your mistakes.  Don't blow things out of proportion (ex.  Me, when something bad happens:  Well, that sucked.  What's next?).  Refuse to engage in conflict, especially petty conflict.  Express your opinion, but do it nicely.  Make your morals and values known, but only if they're not highly controversial.  Don't waste your time trying to change other people, because it's not your problem.  Don't waste your days away trying to fix their problems, because they're not yours to fix.\nEverything in moderation; this is not simply superficial  ;-)

Perhaps the best way to get practice is to sit here and answer a lot of the Yahoo! Answer questions.  You'll become very skilled in picking up what (a) people want to hear and (b) what people NEED to hear.  A lot of people have problems and sometimes you just need one original answer to solve the problems.  Good luck!!

The best way to improve is to practice routines over and over.  Also, don't forget the little stuff, point your toes, take all moves through to their conclusion, amplitude.  Stretching and conditioning are extremely important.\n\nI am a 36 year old former gymnast.  I trained for 15 years.  I didn't go far, but it was my passion.  I don't regret doing it, but I'm paying the price now.  I see a chiropractor at least once week and when I'm really hurting, 3 times a week.  I have alot of physical problems that are all caused by gymnastics.  I am in constant pain from the abuse that I heaped on my body.  I'm telling you this so that you can be informed.  No one told me that this could happen.  I'm not sure I would have believed, when I was 16, but it would have been nice to be told.  Good Luck.
