tip for experienced snowboarders teaching novices:since they are gonna be going pretty slow compared to you, this is the perfect time to practice riding switch if you're not already that good at it...

what's "practicing switch"? is that switching your back leg to the front...?

magnum Dec 5, 2002

whatever way u go down turn 180 degrees around thus the opposite way

thanks, i thought so. i guess that works up your leg muscles evenly.

that's true, but it's also very helpful in snowboarding to be able to ride facing either way down the mountain. if you riding one way and "switch" around to face the other way, it's like learning how to ride all over again, almost like trying to play a lefty guitar if you're a righty.

or trying to do anything lefty when you are a righty.
