Is snowboarding like riding a skateboard

balance is the same bro, but its more like surfing, you carve and its all in your back foot, forward lean is all good!

snowboarding feels way smoover than skateboarding snowboarding is like gliding over then snow but skateboarding is more rough and edgy

Not really. l am really good at snowboarding, but l am terrible at skateboarding.

If u can ride a skateboard well u will definately have an advantage over someone who does not when snowboarding. The balance issues r very similar but it is an entirely different sport. It is a cross between skating, surfing & skiing. Skating & surfing knowledge will help with ur balance & the basic idea of how to turn. Knowing how to ski will help with weight distribution & knowing what to do with ur edges.

If u r planning on learning how to snowboard l would definately take a lesson. That way, u can get the basics of it down & then let ur skateboarding skills help u with the rest.

No it isn't.There is a whole lot of difference

No way.

First, u have to understand that snowboarding requires a lot of balance & commitment. Now, when l say commitment, l do not mean like commit to practicing & stuff. l mean u r commited to the ride & the board because you're strapped on. Whereas with a skateboard, u can just jump off whenever u want.

l am a decent snowboarder, & l can do some tricks & sh*t, but l absolutely horrible when it comes to skateboarding. I've been skateing longer than i've been riding & l can do a Method on a snowboard, but l can not even do a kickflip on a skatebpard.

l never took any lessons, & i'm pretty good. The hardest thing for me to learn were my backside turns. Which is fairly similar to my skateboarding because l can spin frontside, just not backside.

Snowboarding is really fun, & if u want to learn, l suggest taking lessons because i'd be so much better now than l already am if l had taken a few lessons.

Good luck dude.

There are a few crossover skills, but they are plenty different.

l would say kinda. What Frosty says.
