A Burton snowboarders salary will vary depending on how good they are and their sponsorship. Shaun White, professional snowboarder, made seven and a half million last year in endorsements alone.

The speed of which you go when snowboarding depends on many different things. Things such as how big your turns are, your weight, size of board, steepness of the hill and the wax you have on your board can change what speed you go. Speed on a snowboard is very controllable with the proper techniques. Remember to always take a lesson with a Certified Pro.

take the front binding, turn it 180 degrees and put it on the rear mount, then take the back binding rotate 180 degrees and mount it on the front....

it's very easy because there aren't any special left- or right-footed parts

Burton,Nitro,Forum,Lib-Tech,Special Blend it depends on what you are looking for,if it's snowboard clothing I would go for Special Blend and DC but if it's for boards Lib-Tech and Forum =] that's my opinion

No but you can play online multiplayer:)

She started snowboarding when she was 8. And officially began joining competition in 1999 at the age of 17.

idk but it must be a lot seeing how talented he is i would say may be and this is just a guesstamite but maybe about 14 hours a day

Generally, you can go snowboarding at ANY age. I see as young as 3 year olds zipping around on snowboards.

Most mtns actually alllow youngsters *under age 6* to ride/ski for free, with purchase of adult ticket.

It is up to the resort though for their own seperate age requirements, but according to the USASA, anyone from 3-103 can board!

To have fun. Foolish question.
There is no reason for the creation of the snowboard. An 8th grader back in the 50s created one in his shop class, and he started to make more and sell more. *It all started with the Snurfer in 1965, this guy sherman poppen created it for his daughter when she stood up on her sled. Snowboarding itself was influenced by surfing and skateboarding. Burton was one of the main brands in the beginning and is still the largest today. If you want more info just check out the wikipedia page for snowboarding and the snurfer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snurfer
The snurfer really started it all. this dude sherman poppen created it when his 11 year old daughter stood up on a sled. That's how it got started. It got big when kids/people wanted to rebel against skiing. You can find a lot of information online all you have to do is look for it.
The invention of the snowboard followed the inventions of the skateboard and surfboard. For obvious reasons (different trick possibilities than on skis, awesome feel to carving, etc... ) skaters and surfers wanted to board on snow. Its as simple as that.

The board may become less slippery, and more traction. Therefore you will go much slower. Also if you use the wrong wax temp. the wax will not form right and also slow the board down. If you want a good waxing bring the board into the shop or get a iron with a thermometer. You can also use more expensive wax that has a set temperature on the bottle.

depends on the board some of the best brands of boards are Burton, forum, rome and maybe DC boards can be really expenzive some can be around 800 to 900 dollars the Burton boards are usually around 300-600 but can also get more expensive some used boards are good too you can some good deals on used ones but make sure there not junk

Depends on the snowboard brands. I heard angels and devils only $16, dont know if it is sale or what. Maybe branded boards ranges from $300 to $900. You can catch up some online store, they are sometimes offering promos and many board are sell on sale.

The best way to find out the size of a snowboard to get a youth would be to contact a professional snowboarding instructor. One can also find the size by going to the website "The House" and looking at the snowboard sizing charts and guides.

No. It is good.

Wheels on skateboard can be as little as 50mm and go as big as 70mm (longboard wheels) and the softness rating verys. Smaller wheels are better for flip tricks, while bigger wheels are better for ramps and cursing . Harder wheels are better for tricks, while softer wheels are better for multi terrain cursing. What you want to do is figure out what you want to do on your skateboard (your skate style), from there you can choose the wheels that works best for you. Note for bigger wheels you are going to put risers on your board to prevent wheel bite.

Means you ride with your right foot facing down the slope, most people ride natural, left foot forward. To test which you are stand with your feet together and eye's closed. Get someone to push you forward, the foot you push forward to stop your fall is the foot that faces down the mountain.

well you could break a load of bones if you try to hard like a harder slope =]

get at lest 1 lesson from a friend of so =]=] U can get really hurt if ur careless. Biggest thing is wear a helmet. I fell once and hit the back of my head with a helmet and couldn't remember why i was there until that night. Image if i wasnt protected. Really the risks are worth the reward. Once u get really good you barely ever fall unless you like doing the extreme stuff like jumps and grinds. Usually, if ur experienced you will never fall going down a steeper slope. It becomes second nature like u just learned how to walk.

Most likely.Snowboarding and skateboarding basically have the same concept. The only difference is snowboards do not use wheels and are used on snow. Skateboards do have wheels and can not be used on snow, only on concrete, etc. Also, there are similar, if not the same steps taken to snowboard/skateboard.

K2 snowboards can be purchased at a variety of locations. The official K2 website is one place to find these products. Alternatively, these snowboards can also be purchased through the online companies Backcountry and Evo.

You can look for a cheaper ride snowboard in online shops

If you are a serious downhill ski racer then you know that you need to invest in at least two pair of skis. One pair of skis is for slalom racing while the other pair of skis is for giant slalom racing. Slalom skis tend to be shorter in length and narrower because you need to move your skis quickly. In slalom the gates are fairly close together and you need to be able to maneuver around them with lightning speed. Shorter skis allow quick movement and helps prevent catching your tip on a gate. Giant slalom skis tend to be longer and wider because you have a greater distance between gates. You want as much flat surface area of the bottom of your ski to be in contact with the snow as possible to increase your speed. The size you choose for your slalom and giant slalom skis depends on your height, preference, and skiing ability. Consult with a ski professional to help you out.

The first skateboards were just a two by four nailed to roller blade trucks and they had roller blade wheels
