SNOWBOARDING. ~
~TIPS~
Heelside
Slide- Your weight will be mostly on your
heels. Point your toes on both feet just a little bit and you will start
to slide down the hill. Pull back up on your toes to stop.
SKATING-
"Skating" is an essential skill to have for
maneuvering through flat areas and getting on the chairlift. It refers
to the way snowboarders push themselves along using their back foot
while the front foot is in the binding.
Practice skating around for 10 or 15 minutes before you go near the
chairlift! Push off the snow with your back foot and slide your front
foot forward with the snowboard. Your back
foot can push from either side of the board, so try it first on one side
and then on the other to see if one is more comfortable for you.
