Winter is coming, snow is falling and people can start snowboarding. It is an exciting and beautiful sport for young people. But like any sport, you need special training to start playing it. And this is not surprising, because when a person slides down the slope on the board, he will have to take an unusual state. In the process of riding, the main load falls on the calf muscles, although other muscles of the body will also feel the tension. Get ready to repeatedly fall and get a lot of bruises and bumps.

Surely, without special training it will not be clear how you can ride a board. And to help yourself, you can try to stand on the board at home. When you put on your boots, you can feel how well they fit. Be sure to try to lace up the boots as tightly as possible, otherwise the leg will hang out in the top. Although you shouldn’t overdo it. Since tightly tightened laces will contribute to the rapid fatigue of the legs and the appearance of pain in them. You need to try to try to understand what position the body occupies. And if the position taken turns out to be convenient, you can do small swings back and forth, sit down a bit. It is also worth choosing the leading foot, so in snowboarding, basically one foot is “helmsman”, and the second is needed to help.

The training of absolutely all snowboarders begins with the fact that they find a flat area and fasten themselves to the board on it. Then they try to get up. Don’t be discouraged if this is difficult for you at first. You need to catch your balance and feel how much the board weighs. Next, you should try to swing a little in the snow, just like you did at home. After that, you must find a section of the mountain with a slight slope. Buckling up and standing up, transferring the weight of the body to the heels, it is worth pushing the board a little with the rear edge into the slope. This stage is very important, because it needs to feel the balance. Only when you feel confident in your abilities, you can try to slide down the slope. In this case, you need to apply a little pressure with your toes on the front edge. All movements should be smooth and slow, on slightly bent knees and arms outstretched. For uniform sliding of the board forward, you should try not to lean forward and not lean back too much. Optimal when the golden mean is found.
