Snowboarding

it depends on the event. if it is a race then the winner is the person that comes in first. if it is a trick contest then the winner is the person who scores the most points, typically by landing the most and best tricks and having a clean run.

Triple Nickel Snowboards are great for beginner to intermediate riders. I personally have owned one of their "all mountain" type boards and they perform great for anyone wanting to get into the sport or someone trying to refine their skill and have fun on. I've also known some people that have used Triple Nickel bindings and goggles and they seem to have no complaints and are quite pleased with them. I've ridden on more expensive (rental) boards and I personally didn't see any noticeable difference in performance when taking on intermediate runs on both artificial and fresh powder snow. I believe I spent around $99 for mine at Big 5 near the end of the season and I have absolutely no regrets. I also love the fact that I didn't spend an arm and a leg for my gear and I am still able to have a blast every time I'm on the mountain.

One can purchase prescription snowboarding goggles at various retailers online. One can purchase prescription snowboarding goggles at websites such as US Sport Eyewear, RevZilla, and BestBuyEyeglasses.

when coming up to the tip of the jump, lean slightly either on your heel side or toe side, depending on which direction you want to spin. when in the air, twist your shoulders, followed by your hips, in the direction you wish to go. for me personally, it helps a lot to look at your board when you are spinning. if you find that your spinning is slow, really twist your legs and focus on the landing. when you land, compress you news and really focus you weight to the middle of the board, and ride on outta there!

When snowboarding you are in control (hopefully), you make the decisions as to the incline and obstacles on that incline, ect. When you step onto the back of a horse at least 1/2 of your control goes to another being, the horse. He has a mind of his own, his own agenda, and outweighs you by 100 to 1. So most definitely horseback riding is more dangerous. really you asked that horseback riding DUR!

alpine skiing is played when people ski down a very big and white snowy hill. and that is how it is played

There are many amazing snowboarders out there such as Shaun White, Eddie Wall, Tara Dakides and Travis Rice. I dont think there is such thing as the best snowboarder in the world because there are so many good ones emerging.

dude you bite...check out romain de marchi and nicholas muller. easy answer!

...none seem to attempt to answer the question. Well I'm far from a pro snowboarder, but I would guess the keys to becoming a professional snowboarder are #1 practicing as much as possible, which might mean snowboarding during the summer months (there is a snowy mountain somewhere on Earth every day of the year), and #2 win contests/races, the bigger the better. From there, develop an image to get you sponsored (be sure to use the word "stoked" a lot)...grow long hair?

By definition, get paid. If you get paid, you are no longer an amature.

I am almost a pro. But how do you get people to reconize you?

for more speed and to win

It all depends on the brand of the bindings and the boot itself. Some companies may have a size range of 8-10 where-as another company or even model may range from 9-11. What I always do is go to the manufacturer's website and check out the stats for the product I am interested in.

She won the gold medal on balance beam- the only gold that she won.

It is not just wider but also slightly longer than our regular boards we would use in regular, wet, or east coast conditions. There are a few reasons to upsize your board in powder but they stem from the same main reason, which is weight distribution. The wider and longer the board the more the riders weight is spread out. In powder upsizing your board helps you stay on the top layer of snow which increases speed and control. Careful though if you get a board to large for your body weight you will not be able to control it.

snowboarders use wide boards to ride over soft powdery snow for them to catch up their weight at the same time, they could balance better.

Statistics from Sweden show that the snowboarders are about 10% of the people in the slopes and is slowly decresing. In the alps where most skiing in the world is done are the snowboarders much fewer than that typically around 2-3%.

First you need to know that downhill skiing is also referred to as Alpine Skiing. Second you need to decide if you are a "serious" ski racer or a "recreational" ski racer. Don't know which category you fit into? Check out their descriptions below. Serious ski racers are generally Junior ski racers in elementary through college age. Serious ski racers go to ski practice daily and have ski races every week. They may also be on a high school ski team if it is available in their area. These ski racers invest in ski equipment including two to three pairs of skis, helmet, Giant Slalom Suit, ski poles with wrist guards, shin guards, and other ski racing gear and equipment. Ski racing equipment can be very expensive, but a serious ski racer skis so often that it is worth it. Serious ski racers are competitive and may strive to become a professional ski racer one day. Recreational ski racers are those skiers that ski once in awhile or just for fun a couple times a month or week. Recreational skiers may have their own equipment, but don't usually have a giant slalom suit and/or protective equipment. Serious ski racers will want to check out the United States Ski Association website at http://www.ussa.org/PublishingFolder/42.htm. They having junior Alpine racing programs. These racing programs hold races at local ski areas every Saturday and Sunday. Typically you will have slalom races on Saturday and Giant Slalom races on Sunday. You take a 2 run race in the morning and another 2 run race in the afternoon. Recreational skiers will have fun in a Nastar race. Nastar races are usually set up as Giant Slalom and the courses are very easy to navigate. Check for a Nastar race at your local ski area.

No downhill skis are not an instrument, but they still need to be "tuned". Tuning your skis means keeping the edges sharp, the bottoms smooth and free of burrs, and waxing your skis. Basically you are keeping your skis in top shape so that they run faster down the ski slope because the goal in ski racing is to be the fastest. Sharpening the edges - You have sharp metal edges along the sides of your skis. The purpose of these edges is to allow your skis to cut into the snow otherwise known as "carving" a turn. If you didn't have edges you would slide all over the ice and snow and have trouble turning. You use an edge sharpener. Dull edges will cause your skis to slide out, especially on ice so you have to make sure they are sharp. The edges shouldn't cut you, but they should be sharp. Consult your local ski shop for proper technique. They can often do this for you. You should have it done at the beginning of each ski season if you ski every now and then.

$8-15 an hour, depending where you work, and how many certifications you have.

Write one paragraph about each approach ( mass media, personal contact, the web). In each paragraph explain the advantage and disadvantage of the approach for the snowboarding vacation package web business.

Element is one of the most reliable and successful skateboard brands to look for

Almost is a very good brand that i would recommend. they have good pop and a nice concave.

The best would be almost with the fiber discs in them but personally i don't go for the deck technology i go for baker it is a very good brand and reliable.

¿por qué usted pide un hijo de puta gay madre? Spanish look it up!

No you don't. However - when you make the turn make sure that your weight is balanced on the front of the skis, so that the back end of the skis do not dig into the ground. This is only effective if you are on hard packed snow, and might not work if it is soft and powdery snow.

Nope.

nope! is that a brand or a site or a player?

Yeah! It is a snowboard brand with good quality.

hyperbole

rocker is when the board is bent down between the bindings like in a v shape witch is why they call it v rocker but there is also many many different ways of rocker then just v this first started of on burton boards then moved to much of all newer park boards

Usually not much, unless you refer to so-called fullface Moutain Bike helmets with a "bumper" that protrudes in front of the chin to protect it.

Usually a moutain bike helmet has a visor which sometimes can be removed. Reasoning on having a visor? Mountain biking usually meant going into the mountains on a single track and going in and out of the shadows from trees.

So this means usually road bikes don't have visors. Road bikes put your body posture more prone so if you had a visor your vision would be partially blocked.

Road helmets also more aerodynamically streamlined. As far as vents go, they usually have more but are smaller which helps with speed again.

A few of the companies that manufacture mens' snowboard pants are Burton, North Face, and Alpine Ridge. Oakley is another one that makes them. There is also Quik Snow and Planet Earth, just to name a few.
