What's your favorite Figure Skating move?
hey snowboarding is really not a hard sport to pick up and since you skate you will have good balancebut as an instructor i find people that skate or surf that come to start boarding have bad posture on the board e.g leaning to the back of the board,bent at the wasit and shoulder bent in
but if you get your self some lessons its easy to fix and also turning is not that hard lol but you do not need to lift the board up like the person said above it is all about your weight simply put your weight to the front of the board to get it to face down hill shift your weight onto the edge you wanna turn onto centre your weight coming across the hill and then again weight to the front of the board to inciate the next turn =]
but yea lessons=] and some practice and you will be all good
Motion sickness and figure skating.?
if you can skateboard you can snowboard, if you can snowboard you can skateboard... u can do it, trust me..I need help iam new at this so please help me!?
I was going to say not hard if you can skateboard. But since you already can skateboard good it seems, snowboarding is very similar but a little bit different. Since you can't lean your weight on one side to turn like a skateboard, you have to lift one end of the board or slide it around towards the right direction. hope this helpsif you skateboard it will be easy . The only thing is working with the bindings.
Snoboarding lessons for beginners?
yo, its real easy, i use to skate alot but i really only surf now...only difference is theres less friction, like the wheels grabbing, after snowboardin all winter i decided to go skate around a couple weeks ago and was like woah, you could feel the wheels grabbing the road a lilother than that i would say its easier than skating, since your strapped to the board it pretty much does what you say, ie when you ollie you pretty much have to just jump up and it will come up w/ ur legs
stopping is prolly the biggest difference but its super easy on a snowboard--for heelside just lean on ur heels and lean back a lil, for toeside its the opposite
and if you have a longboard and can carve on that you can pretty much carve/turn on a snowboard, just gotta get used to the difference btwn the road and snow
plus good thing bout snowboarding is if u learning in somewhat powder conditions u wont get hurt doin stuff, thats how i be learning front flips and stuff liek that, dont even feel it
the first couple of trys are always hard
but you should get the hang of it really quickly
and dont mentally compare it to skateboarding unless you ride a long board- that way you wont get super frustrated
and have fun with it
;)
Well i have skateboarded for 4 years and snowboarded for 2. I can tell you that my skateboarding experience definitely helped when learning how to snowboard. And to answer your question snowboarding with skateboarding experience is medium hard, the falls are much softer just remember to tuck your hands in when you do fall so your wrist doesn't get broken.Good luck and i hope you have fun snowboarding is really a fun winter sport!
