How to Determinate your Snowboard Stance
For starters, regular means your left foot is forward and goofy means your right foot is forward. Ask yourself how you would run and slide
on ice?
If you know which foot you would slide forward
with, chances are this is the same foot you
would snowboard forward with. Another
method is to push a person forward from behind, and whichever foot they step forward with
is their front foot when they are snowboarding.
Finally, you can push a person backward from
the chest, and whichever foot they step back
with is their back foot when they are snowboarding.
Beginner Tips for Snowboarding
Always keep your hands in a fist when learning
to snowboard. When you fall backward punch
the snow and sit on your butt. A broken wrist is
the most common beginner injury when learning
to snowboard.
Learning to push (skate) on your snowboard is
very important because you need this skill to get
to and from the lift. Force yourself to push
(skate) from behind your heel edge, taking short
steps, as this will make your snowboard glide
much better.
Get it Down
Snowboarding for beginners can seem overwhelming at first, but get down the movements
for making your first turns and it will be much

moving your torso without bending at the waist.
