Snowboarding Tricks – What Not To Do


You you decided it is time to start learning some new cool snowboarding tricks right? That is a wise decision. You can impress your friends and the girls on the slopes, show off what you got and maybe even form a personal fan club. Alright, maybe you wont gain a fan club, but at least you will look hot out there.

Before you go out there and actually start attempting anything that can be potentially dangerous, do your research and spend some time with more experienced boarders. However, there are some serious Don’ts that you should learn about as well. Here are some tips and guidelines you can follow.

Do Not:

Buy boots that are too small for you. When you try the boots on, they should feel comfortable. Too many of us are under the assumption that it is fine if they hurt a some because you will break them in. This is simply not true. Always purchase boots that fit snugly without feeling like they’re too tight.

Start off by buying a long board. Don’t buy an expensive board to start with, you want to get a cheap board so you can mess it up during all your learning mistakes without too much worry.I mean, you are just starting so there is no need to go for the best just yet. Getting a long board or anything that costs too much is really not a good choice.

Be embarrassed if you fall. Big deal. Have you realized how many times pro snowboarders like Sean White has taken a tumble or two? Tons. Everyone falls, it is just something you have to go through if you are going to become really good at any snowboard trick.

Try advanced snowboarding tricks too quickly. Begin with the simple ones. The big ones will come later.

Practice all by yourself. Always have a group of buddies with you when you’re practicing your tricks in case you seriously hurt yourself. It has happened. At least have one other person with you.

Alright, so now that you feel as if you’ve just had a lecture from your mother, get out there and learn some awesome snowboarding tricks!
