Snowboarding

You probably won't get much exercise from snowboarding unless you are only doing tricks or backcountry. Snowboarding is mainly for fun, not exersize.

FIS stands for Federation International du Ski, FIS points are given to competitors based on their performance in competitions.

It's the best. And it's got great pop for jumps too.

It reacts kinda aggressively, so not very suitable for beginners...

You should buy a 2011 Burton Hate because they have a lot more handling! (just my opinion)

oh for sure the 2011 hate it has the sickest rocker on it and will be sick on the rails, its got a super nice softness to it as well

Paraffin wax is known as a preservative, many kinds are made from palm oil, vegetable oils, and to a lessor degree some synthetic resins with a few other things, depending on the manufacture. Its also called Baker's wax, its used in recipies, very common in making chocolate candies, it keeps them from melting and makes them shiny, they also coat some fruit with the wax. Its also used as a general purpose wax for Snowboards, Ski's, and many winter sport blades, it makes them glide easier over snow an ice.

Jackets for snowboarding can be found at a variety of stores from stores such as Sport Chek to department stores such as Sears. The website "dogfunk" offers a wide range of styles to choose from as well.

use snow gel

Burton Cartel specializes in Snowboard bindings. The bindings are a form of straps that fit over your snow boot. You are then able to step onto your snowboard and the binding will snap onto the board.

In the early Spring of 1975, some teenagers from Encinitas, CA and other various Northern San Diego County communities began riding out to the central Arizona desert to the site of theCentral Arizona Project (CAP). The CAP was a Federal public works project commissioned to divert water from the Colorado River to the city of Phoenix. These young adventurers had heard about the 24 ft (7.3 m) diameter water pipes that were used by the CAP from some local Arizona skaters. Tom Stewart, one of these young California skateboarders, decided that he didn't want to trek out to the middle of the desert every time he wanted to have this pipe-riding experience. Tom consulted with his brother Mike, an architect, on how he might create a ramp that resembled the pipes he and his friends were riding out in the desert. With his brother's plans in hand, Tom used his natural carpentry ability to flesh out the design in the front yard of his house in Encinitas. In two days, the first half-pipe in history was born.

In a few days, the press had gotten word about Tom's creation and contacted him directly. Tom quickly formed Rampage, Inc. and began selling blueprints for his half-pipe design. About 5 months later, Skateboarder Magazine did a feature on Tom and Rampage.

A few years later, a young Tony Hawk dropped in to his first half-pipe, a Rampage built by Tom Stewart.

Best to buy when the season ends.

Take some empty boxes and fold them flat and slide the board into the boxes and tape it shut.

the rules are you go and jump off a plane and then hijack a snowboard shop steal all of the snowboards and race down a hill

Yes there are. If you don't have any snow then you cannot snowboard. Places like Florida, Southern California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico rarely get snow or don't get enough snow for snow sports.

I would say they're more of all mountain bindings. You can take them in the park and they hold up, but I wouldn't say they're ideal for freestyle riding. Although they've gotten much lighter in the past few years, they are still heavier than a traditional strap in binding. If you are looking for a great and convenient freestyle specific binding I would go with some of the Ride Contrabands. They strap in with one strap so they're fast but they are designed for freestyle riding, with appropriately flexing straps and tons of cushioning underfoot.

• Lib Tech TRS 162 cm weighs 11.3 lbs/ 5.1 kg in FedEx packaging. This is an above-medium size model and it is on the lighter side, so adjust plus-minus 1 lbs.
• WWW.SNOWBOARD4FREE.COM says a snowboard can weigh from 4-7 pounds. This is a range from kids boards up to a 167cm board. This site is the best , check it out. Janet

boardslide back to regular/ boardslide to fakie

take off the wax and rewax it

rodeo is a backflip with a spin while a cork is an off axis spin with the motion of half a frontflip where you are never fully upside down

There really isn't a best stance for snowboarding. It is really your preference whether you want to ride regular which is left foot downhill or goofy which is right foot downhill. After you have found a comfortable style between regular and goofy remember to have a slight bend in your knees.

you can use the 142, it may be just a touch too big, but after a few times up she will adapt to the board.

terrible terrible terrible.they are always breaking and are not as light

No, you need EST bindings for those boards. Look on burton.com for ones that fit. My GF just got the new Lexa EST Bindings and likes them a lot so far.

A friend of mine and I have been looking for a nice wall mount for our boards. Unfortunately we couldn't find any wall mounts we liked. So we started designing our own. We think the end result is quite cool. The wall mount is made of high quality acrylic glass and is manufactured in a German workshop.

Yes he's way better then even Shaun white. I've seen Shaun white he is not to bad but Travis is better
