Alrighty... some tips for you guys (and girls...)
right learning to turn is more important than anything... well standing is also good But! you need to learn how to turn so you dont hit a tree or catch an edge i suggest starting with turning to the left so you face downhill

learning how to turn both ways and making 'S' is important...

dont worry about tricks yet but practice with one foot out of your binding and on your stomp pad so you learn how to get off the lift...

i could do this all day but ill split it up a bit

right and for the people who can go off jumps and such

if you feel that youre not going as high or as far as others try some of these tips

1: commit to the jump
2: avoid speed checking before the jump
3: bend your knees as you aproach the jump
4: at the top of the jump, jump
5: while in mid air do not lock your knees sorta bend em a little bit
6: keep at a safe angle dont lean back or forward in mid air
7: when landing to absorb the shock by letting your knees bend
8: after landing dont loose balance and make sure to clear the landing area...


If you fail to evacuate the landing area after a spill you can be seriously injured... via landed on

dont say "oh it hurt my first day so i wont do it anymore sense i am not good" you will never get good that way, we all started out being horrible at boarding but after a season or two we got good, it will come just give it time.

dont fear speed when you are going down steep hills, it will help you stay in control if you are calm while doing it

Right staying in control of the board is very important and if you begin to fall one way dont Jolt back to try and stay on your board but lean back and try and let the board do the work...

Also learning to Crash 'properly' is also a skill someone must obtain no matter what...
crashing right means...
1 avoid smacking your head
2 if you crash somewhere the traffic is heavy try to get up and outta the way carefully but quickly so you can take a breather
3 if you crash and you begin to slide try and stop yourself sliding down a hill uncontrolled can cause major wrecks and serious injury, instead try to dig your board edge into the snow and get up right
4 try and avoid getting twisted at the waist... basically try not to roll your upper body without your lower
