Top Three Rules for how to snowboard

Rule Three – Relax and Have Fun

I know it seems obvious, but why is this important?
1. Snowboarding is hard when you are a beginner. It involves a lot of perfect timing, like knowing when to put pressure on the board and when to shift your weight. If you are relaxed, then you are focused, and that makes timing easier to manage. If you are in the middle of a full tilt panic, you will surely blow the timing. Or you are worrying about doing it right, which makes you forget what you are doing.

2. Breathing and relaxing will keep you from hurting yourself. When you are not relaxed, then you are tense. Your body becomes stiff, and this causes problems. It causes you to have a harder time making the little movements to make your snowboard turn. This makes you fall more. And it makes you get hurt more. When you hit the ground – and you will fall – your body doesn’t flow with the fall and you can more easily twist something or sprain it or even break it. The more relaxed you are, the better you fall.
3. Having fun makes snowboarding a more pleasant experience, which helps you learn more and get better quickly. And then you want to do it again.
