Hello people, i'm more or less a complete newbie to snowboarding, I thought I'd make my first post here. That article makes a bit of sense to me. I assume that having lessons are the best way to go if you are complete beginner like me! 
Anyways I won't go into detail of asking about footwear, clothes and the rest, cause there are seperate forums for all that so I will go and do research for all that . But still I do have one drawback, is that I'm awaiting treatment on an ankle problem which has plagued me for many years, its finally going to be sorted. I'm aware I can get varoius support things and all that, but should I wait until its sorted?
Anyhow I'm sure that I will find my way around
Snowboarding has always been something that I've found intresting, ever since the Turin Winter Games back on '06. Just always fancied doing it...
(Any if you want to know anything about me, view the myspace link in my sig)

I would also like to know any advice on ankle injuries!? I am currently nursing a broken ankle and I am SO keen to get back on the slopes but I know its a long road to recovery...
Is an ankle support a good idea?? I've also bought some firm boots (was considering them before the accident - if only..!) I'm just lost - I dont know the best approach to getting back on the mountain!! HELP! |

Well if your not in massive ammounts of pain anymore, why not strap it up, put on some firm boots and try taking it easy at a few indoor sessions to get your confidence back up? |

I'd personally say number 6 should be number 3, unless you're going to snowboard in jeans and a hoodie!! Bindings and a snowboard usually come in par as it's not worth having bindings without a board.
Not a bad guide though. There are more options than that for learning though - you need to mention that dryslopes are harder to learn on but can be more beneficial. Also learn in a day or hourly lessons!

| hey, great guide so far, just wondering if you want to, it might be helpful tto make a guide to teell people which order to try out tricks in. For example i thought boardsliding would be easier than 50/50'ing a box so the first rail i ever hit i tryed to boardslide, fell and couldn't board for the rest of the holiday lol. obviously its a lot of wor for you, but if evryone posted what they think the logical freesttlye steps are? |

It really is a drug! I've not been boarding long now (about 16 hours total) and it's all I think about all day every day!
I usually go to Cas on a Wednesday and can count the rest of the week as a low! |

Thanks for taking the time to write this, the information provided was useful! I have been boarding for about eight years (once a year), but always rented my gear, however, this year I'm going to buy.
Can anyone recommended a good shop either in Cambridge or London for buying board&boots? Somewhere with a good selection of brands as well as help me make sure I choose the right stuff without being too biased? |

hey hey,
yet another newbie to the whole boarding experience with only one 2 hour lesson under my belt. Just answer one thing, am I gonna feel the pain being 40 when learning??
Just wanna say, thanks to Tesco Clubcard for their latest deal. Just picked up 4 x 1hr lessons at MKeynes for £25 |

lol Yeah you'll get pain. Get to a gym and work legs HARD, focus on full squats and lunges and that will take the edge off. I'd also highly recommend investing in knee pads.
Most of all though, don't worry. Everyone falls, everyone had to learn. Have fun and you'll have it down in no time.
The Clubcard thing is nice, just a shame they stopped allowing people to use them for rec. |
