SNOWBOARDING: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Do
you want to learn a new sport this winter?? If so, this article tells you the equipment
and the beginners’ technique for snowboarding.
First
you need equipment to snowboard. Let’s start with the boots. The right pair of
boots should be snug but allows you to wiggle your toes. If you don’t have the
right fitted boots you will not be able to make as sharp of turns. Secondly you
will need bindings for your boots. Make sure that your bindings tighten your
boots to the board. If your boots are not tight on your board it will have an
effect on your control. Last you need a board. To choose your board it all
depends on what type of rider you are (ex. Park, Powder, Freeride, Splitboards,
Women’s, Kid’s, and Wide). Now you can hit the slopes.
This
article affected me by telling what I need to look for if I am planning to buy
a snowboard or even if I want to try it out. I now know what specifications I need
to look for so that I get the best out of my ride.
