Cern Ski Club has done it. Now you can learn the art of snowboarding in Web! Really? Well, at least they give you good lessons...
"This section will take you through the basics of learning to snowboard up to the most advance carving techniques. Whilest we hope the illustrations provided in this section are of use to you, they are no substitute for a qualified instructor."
My favourite is "The Key To Rotations" by Kelly Alonzo.
Yes, snowboarding will be finally in Olympics in 1998. But is this good or bad, tune your NEWS reader to rec.skiing.snowboard.
Read the awesome summary of snowboard slang. Read that and impress your fellow boarders with some kewl words. The page is based on the research work of Jerry Dunn. You can also find another Snowboarding Glossary and even List O'tricks by Jason Dow.
Everybody knows that Finns are very cool! Finland is a home for thousands of totally rad freestyle snowboarders. So, why don't you come and meet them? You can find more info in Travel in Finland. Best places are in North, but the coolest freestylers are in South. You don't have to be over 5000 feet to make the perfect trick in halfpipe. Just do IT!
Many people have said to me "Snowboarding is dangerous! Those bindings are lethal!". All we can see slams in snowboarding videos. Many of us have suffered painful landings. People at Burton put it this way... (I like this :)
"Warning,
Look both ways before you cross the street.
Bathtubs are slippery.
Dont stand on the top step of a ladder.
LIFE HAS RISKS... Snowboarding is one of them.
These bindings rule, but, THEY DONT RELEASE
The best protection you have is yourself.
Read the instruction manual...
Learn to ride.
Accept the risk
you can handle without risking
others
OR STAY HOME."Burton Binding Sticker, 1995
