Learn to Snowboard Painlessly

A new approach to teaching/learning snowboarding

Next Proceeding

After mastering side slipping using described direction changing, the trainee is prepared for stand-alone training. The goal of this training is to build up the edging technique, get better confidence riding on a snowboard and improve coordination in movements necessary for balance during the ride.

Snowboarding starts to be a fun in this phase of training. The trainee can with some moderation and carefulness ride any slopes in usual ski terrain.

Next phases of training covering floating leaves, garlands, breaking turns, full skidded turns… can be identical with those of the current method of teaching.

I have been dealing with the problem over the last few years of how to make snowboarding lessons less painful for lesson participants and more effective. My conclusions led to a different method of teaching in comparison with currently used one, especially in the initial stages of training. The key aspects of the new approach are described at this site.
