Riding the lift with ease while snowboarding
2007-12-18 21:20:00
One technique i learned over the years has been to control my board while getting off the lift. lets take a four man lift for the purpose of this lesson. OK if you are right foot forward first sit on the right side of the lift when you stand up to exit the lift you will need to clear the other riders so.First stand up then place back of the back foot the one that is not strapped in over the heal edge of the board. This will help to turn you away from the rest of the riders and put your board in a position to stop with ease. Second try it from the left side stand up and put the toes of your boot over the toe edge of your board this will take you left of all riders in a great position to stop with ease.now sit in the middle get up place foot center on the board look forward to where you want the board to go. when you need to stop place back foot over the back end of the board to slow you to a stop from the drag applied by your boot.

How to handle black ice while snowboarding
2007-10-24 18:24:00
If You live on the east coast this is very common and lots of people get injured every year from black ice. Don't think it does not happen out on the west coast it does,black ice can happen even at the big mountains if conditions are right for black ice. So what do You do keep your eyes on changing conditions at all times. When you spot Ice call it to the riders behind You then if there is no time to go around You have to ride it out go on the ice look where you want the board to go in this case it straight no turns until that board hit turnable base also Known a snow. Turning On ice can put You out of the game for a while if not for good. PS ride safe and in control at all times enjoy what the mountain has to offer.

Learning to Ollie
2007-09-28 01:30:00
The easiest way to learn this is on a flat area with front foot strapped in and back out.1) Place back foot against back binding from the center of the board.2) Place weight on back foot like doing a wheelie.3) When the front of the board lifts up pop up and forward to lift back end off ground.4) stay centered land then try again until you got it.5) strap in and take it to the slopes PS video of all this and lots more coming this winter of 2008
