riding with one foot helps you navigate the mountain better
2007-08-06 20:55:00
Riding with one foot strapped in can help you ride better. When you first learned about snowboarding you had to learn to skate and ride with one foot strapped that being You front foot. This is like that only you will add a technique to the back foot that will help you steer better,get off lifts with ease and total control.Start off skating with lead foot in and back foot out. Push off and get some speed then when you bring back foot off ground decide what turn to make toe or heel side turn. Place the back foot slightly over the edge you want to turn. This helps to get the edge up. After you master this take it to the lift.If you are on the left or right side of lift depending on you stance you place back foot over the edge to move away from other riders exiting the lift in the middle you go straight leaving back foot center until your clear riders then shit foot over any edge to stop with control.

What a Stress Releaver!!!
2007-07-27 22:24:00
When I'm snowboarding i don't think about anything!!! All i think about is the next jump or turn. I love the breeze in my face and in my hair there is no feeling like it!!! Everyone should only know the feeling of riding up the lift and looking down seeing ur board daling in mid air and feeling like the cable is going to fray.. that's not stress!!(LOL). Then u arrive at the top of the mountain just wanting to strip in and get that breeze blowing in ur face & hair doing about 30 to 40 miles per hour there is just nothing like it.. I love it. Then all u want to do is just get to the bottom and start all over again. Then u say to yourself wow were is the next mountain that i can ride and of cause it has to be bigger,better and of cause longer trails. the whole expedience is just awesome u get to see so many different places on another level. I'm so happy i learned this sport because it just completes me as a person!! And there is nothing better about this being a stress releaser be...

Trying a 180 first time
2007-06-01 02:01:00
Ok there are two ways to do this front side 180 where when You get to the point where You want to start the rotation and the front of your board will see down hill in air.or back side where you take off 180 back side down hill first thing you see you will see is the up hill until you finish and land.Practice often If you ride switch then try it that way I like to switch right before jump so I land in my normal position then you can do any way you like.PS keep your head up during rotation and keep head to side of rotation until it's time to land spot it and land it.

Learn To Butter Your Roll
2007-05-03 18:56:00
this move is easy but seems so hard in people's minds. Press the front of your board and lift back foot towards front foot until you feel comfortable with it then you can add a 360 on the ground nose press assault. Work with it tweak it a little and make it your own. "You Can Do IT"

How long is to long for a snowboard
2007-04-23 23:26:00
OK if you like to ride powder the longer the better if you like the park you should ride a board that is just up to your chin. I started on a 157 159 now the smallest I ride is 160-164-168 I love it but this a depends on where and when you ride. Don't be afraid to try new things this is why you ride to begin with it's all about the progression of riding.

VA Tech Shooting
2007-04-19 01:33:00
I know this is off topic but it need to be said.What happened a VA Tech has me at a lost for words.First I would like to address the family to whom I turn to in there time and say. I'm so sorry for your loss I sorry this happened to you or anybody for that matter. There is no need for something like this take place under our nose withoutwarning. What do we teach our kids about other people. In this case it was not about the jock or popular people. This was about Rich and Poor how can this happen and no one notice. That is the question people will be asking did we learn nothing from the pastor is the answer in our future well it seems that way.So lets not let the lost of these Young Adults not be use for fuel for change.We must do something The answer is within our grasps.

Don't forget to wax board before Storing away
2007-03-25 03:36:00
Always wax before you put it away for the summer.This will keep the base from drying out and make for a better ride first time out.The last thing you want to do on your first day out is look for wax after a late arrival. You Know what I mean those days when it seams you just can't get there early enough.So wax now slide later Peace.

Getting back up after a spill
2007-03-15 18:37:00
There are two things that get hurt during a fall your body then your pride and in comes the fear. So think about it knowing this there are only three things to do to get back on track for 2008.1)Heal your body head to toe visualize next year in your head feel the first day of riding in your head.2)who needs pride when you know pride is for things that don't progress in this sport your only proud for short periods before you find something bigger that come along.3) Final FEAR OK let me show you fear if you fall and let it go to your head then next year will suck.also I don't know how old you are but you only have so many years to ride if you know what I mean. Don't let fear live in your head unless it's good fear.life goes quick vacations go quicker enjoy life look before you leap.

Riding in trees
2007-03-07 02:14:00
Riding in the trees is always fun and full of powder stashes If you know where to look.I know what you are thinking and riding in the trees is easier then you think. and again you just have to know where to look. Look at the tree and you become the tree look at the gap and you shoot the gap with the flow of a river. Always look to where you would like the board to go and the board will respond to the thought that mind creates this is almost automatic except you have to look to the gaps in the trees. Never enter the trees alone and never go in without knowing where you will wind up And always have a way to reach the outside world. A map would not be a bad thing to carry and will not hurt. PS a helmet will help keep you safer take you time have fun and enjoy you time in the trees it's a peaceful ride.

2007-02-17 21:59:00
When riding in a new place always know where you are going. some many times you want to see it all but sometime that all can be down right full of danger.but if you know before you go this will keep you from wandering in a bad direction.Don't be afraid to ask the locals in the shops most the time they will be happy to tell you where you should not go without a guide.just use common sense wile riding and always keep your self in check especially in family areas people are some times killed you may not have been there but it does still happen.Most of all know your limits and have fun forever.

Riding in powder
2007-02-15 18:01:00
I don't know if you have ever had the chance to ride deep powder. If you had then you must have heard to set your bindings back one notch so the board will go under and then come to the top this makes you feel like you are floating on air. Don't worry this is easy to do and takes only about 20 min to get riding smooth. At first don't worry about leaning back that's why you set the bindings back so they can do all the work.life's short play hard and always do what you love when you want and whatever you do keep make sure you get to whistler this year is already epic with no end in sight.
