Snowboard first time - Abasin - Lessons?

[Below Zero]

So, anyone want to offer some lessons to my Florida friend and I as we beater around Abasin this Friday? I can offer beer and some cash if you are a certified instructor.

We'll be drinking in the parking lot, so if anyone wants to stop by.

Goin to the dark side Jer?

No, just want to be able to be at the same pace as my friend. I don't want to ski green runs all day on skis while he is struggling on a snowboard, so I figure we would struggle together. I'll be busting 1080s in the pipe in no time though - it's easy right? ;)

I saw it on TV, so it must be. Not a bad idea. Have a good one.

since i may help a little

and i have taught alot of my friends for past 10 or so years

the biggest piece of advice

and if you get this your golden

nut up and get on your toe edge (alot of people just rotate to switch and ride on their heel edge left and right) ::YOU WILL BUST YOUR ASS:: but maybe just once or twice

get this down and your ready for steep (no-mogul) blacks

its all about linking turns properly



o yea, stopping will come naturally =P
