How to Snowboard--Sirikanya
How to Snowboard
Hey! Guys, I think this would be a perfect time to learn how to snowboard. (I am writing this
How to during Christmas break) I am not an expert on snowboarding but here are some of my
tips for beginners and first day
riding.
Gear:
Snowboard
Bindings
Snowboard
boots
Helmets
Thermal
layers
Snowboard
Jacket
Snowboard
Pants
Snowboard
Shocks
Beanie
and/or Helmet
1.Stand:
It
is important to learn your stand before you snowboard. Two types of stand : Goofy and
Regular. A Goofy stand is going downhill with your right foot first. And Regular stand is the
opposite.
2.Skating or One foot
riding:
Skating,
this skill is necessary for getting on and off the lift. Skating is when one foot (usually
your dominant foot) strapped to your board.
3.Strap up:
Next
step is to strap up before you start you need to strap up with both feet. Sit down and strap
your board up with your knee bends.
4.Stand up:
to
stand up, grabbing your board by reaching your hand forward and use the other hand to
push you from the back.
5.Heel slide:
once
you stand up, try to balance yourself on the board. Control the speed by sliding your
heel edge, your knees bent as you are sliding. If you want to change direction, point your hand
and put more pressure in the direction you want to go.
6.Turning:
turning,
just like the heel slide, point you hand to the direction you want to go, keep in mind
that your board needs to be across the hill.
7.Stop:
use
the ankles to help balance over the board, apply the edge, so the board starts to turn across
the hill and use the legs to steer the board for the rest of the way.
8.Posture:
it
is very important to keep your shoulders above the board because this is the best way to
avoid falling. (Tip: do not lean back too much.)
Have fun Snowboarding! :)

I have absolutely no coordination, and so I've never been snowboarding, but this made me really interested in attempting some time. I liked your casual and encouraging tone because I felt liked it helped to simplify the instructions and make snowboarding seem less intimidating! Great Job! :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to snowboard and we have some nice mountains. This definitely makes me want to try my hand at it even more. I enjoy the tone of your piece, reminds me of a sweet teacher calmly and patiently giving an explanation to a small child, all around a very endearing moment. Very straightforward and marvelous work.
ReplyDeleteSnowboarding sounds like so much fun! Can't be sure I wouldn't completely tumble down the mountain, but this piece is great! Makes snowboarding seem a bit more plausible in the future.Nice Job
ReplyDeleteI have been snowboarding and can confirm these tips! I had a hard time and some hard falls the first time I went but it is definitely a lot of fun. Good tips!
ReplyDeletePretty much need you as a teacher so I don't fail miserably like I did the first time. Simple, easy, and direct! Good job
ReplyDeleteYour details are really helpful and are so simple for anyone to understand. You explained it in such a way that doesn't make it seem as hard. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteSnowboarding is something I have never thought of trying and after reading this, it makes me want to getup and try it sometime. It would probably end with me and a face full of snow or on my ass, but hey, at least I gave it a try.

I knew I should read this blog post based on the title, and based on that I've always wanted to go snowboarding but I have no idea how! (After reading this, I feel fully equipped to hit the slopes, so thanks!) But then again, I always feel like I know how to do something after watching a video/reading an article about it, so I'll keep ya updated.
