Yes Frosty, i got myself a whole set-up just this last christmas. Been practice-riding it at the bunny hill. I’m getting used to using my heelside and will probably attempt to try using the toeside when i go back to the hill. Thanks again for the tips you gave me with the choosing the board size.
Thanks frosty!!! Now, i just need to think of how to break it gently to my cousin as he is so convinced that i should get the women's board and not the kiddie board as he is more concerned that i would not be having trouble staying afloat powder with a longer board. I see his point in that but also he should consider that a longer board would make me work hard since it would also be heavy for me and hard to control.Anyhow, I'm now choosing between a burton lux at 136 and a burton feather at 140 with both waist of 23.8. I'm also considering the burton feelgood, they have a 134 and a 137. Just in consideration my teacher (my cousin). What do you think?
😀 hello again frosty!!! I'm back to snowboarding this year since my first lessons last year. Found out that I'm a goofy. I can now do switch naturally thanks to your tips, but still prefer being a goofy. I got myself physicallyy prepared too, it made it more easy and more fun 😆 less sore. A proper fitted boot and a well-sized board made a huge difference. And add to that I discovered that when you dig your board a bit makes it easy to stand up as the board does not slide as much. Now i'm planning to buy a setup on Christmas boxing day…hehehe… I need some advice on how to choose a board now and what type of bindings would suit me best.thanks guys 😀 Its going to be a fun season for me….
😆 Thanks for your help guys!!! I will surely have fun with my next lesson with your enlightning words in mind…Oh by the way, I came across this interesting website about snowboard work out if anyone is interested, I just want to share it:http://www.together.net/~ronjav/sbtp/index.htm
😀 hehehe… thanks you guys… i guess i would have to prepare myself for another set of body aches on the next lesson eyh… Anyways, I forgot to ask… how will i know that i am using the right foot in to be in front of the board, regular or a goofy???
Thanks guys!!! I will definitely try a smaller size boot on my next lesson as I totally felt the effect of inappropriate size this morning… My lower leg is sore when I woke this morning especially the left one as it was the one attached to the board. I remember my foot sliding off the boot while doing the uphill hike…. that was really nasty… painful and I can totally feel the weight of the boot and the board pulling… I'll try going down a size for the board too and see what difference it'll make… i used the board calculator and i got the range of 132-133-134. the only available in the rental was the 134 amongst the three, hopefully next time 132 or 133 would be available. And also, i will surely try rolling on my stomach to get up.. to be honest i don't mind falling while learning as it is part of it, but it just that getting bac
