How do I start snowboarding as a beginner?
This section will discuss how to start snowboarding. Everything will be covered, including what equipment you should buy, where to travel, and how to teach.
Let's start by defining some basics.
"Snowboard": A board that is attached to your feet for skiing down hills. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. To control speed, the edge at the front is longer than that at the back.
"Skier", a person who is skilled at riding a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
"Skiing" - Riding down hills on skis. You can do this on either natural terrains like mountains, or man-made terrains such as ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment, including skis, poles, bindings, boots, jackets, gloves, hats, goggles, sunglasses, socks, and wax.
"Riding down hills" - Before you can ride downhill, it is important to learn how to prevent yourself from falling. To do so, you use your legs to push against the ground at the same time as pulling your back leg up and kicking your front leg forward. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. You will need to pull your legs forward and kick them further faster you travel. Once you've reached the desired speed, you let your legs come together and relax. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are many methods to measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. You can practice controlling your speed by measuring your speed using timing or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!

You will fall to the ground if you lean too much. Don't lean too far and you won’t be able move. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks.
