Snowboarding tips

can u give me any tips for snowboarding, as it is my first time at Bansko.

re: Snowboarding tips

just strap on youre board and go for it not on any thing to steep we found this the quickest way to lern.

re: Snowboarding tips

wrist protectors are good as you may find yourself falling over a lot... but dont get discouraged when you learn how to do it, its so much fun....

re: Snowboarding tips

dont mess on greens or blues, I learnt quickly on red runs in Bansko, you need speed to learn.

re: Snowboarding tips

just remember that even the pro's fall dude and everybody got to start from step 1. dnt give up when you keep wiping out cos thats the way it is to begin with but once you nail it its awesome. I ski and board and found boarding alot harder to learn to begin with but honestly its awesome when you get the hang of it. go for it and enjoy!!! happy boarding!!!

re: Snowboarding tips

When you can't seem to stay upright and your bum is sore just keep in mind that everyone falls over for most of their first couple of days on a board but try to stick with it cos it's brilliant once you get to grips with it. You won't regret it i promise. Best of luck

Best advise is to ignore the above and get an instructor otherwise following tipt above you are going to kill yourself
