When it comes to learning a sport, any sport, a novice is only able to see what is on the surface. That is, he sees what r gross motor movements & not the fine motor movements that r the true essence. In snowboarding, for example, the gross motor movements include propping oneself up on the board, sliding forward, & riding down the mountain. Seems like that is all there is to it. What a novice can not pick up on r those fine motor movements such as head & spine positioning & maintaining balance in motion. So, a novice has a tendency to acquire a “Yeah, l got it” attitude. This attitude is usually counterproductive to the learning process; however, it is quite conducive to ending up in an ambulance with broken bones.

When it comes to performing a snowboard trick, this is an area that the novice would be best to avoid. A snowboard trick may look easy when an experienced snowboarder performs it, but the key here is that the person has experience. When someone is not experienced & tries to perform that thing that requires intermediate & advanced level skills, the unexperienced person is putting himself in a position where an injury could be forthcoming. Jumping the gun on trying out a snowboard trick is never wise.

But what if u have already mastered the basics? Then there r several different tricks u can attempt. Interestingly, many of them r related to skateboard tricks – & even use the same type of ramps: half pipes, full pipes, verts, etc. Other types of snowboard trick involve short jumps, flips, & even moguls, which r a series of tightly packed together bumps.

Before u even consider tricks, u should make sure you've mastered the basics; if not, at least make sure u have mastered the best way to crawl to the nearest telephone, so u can call for help after u wipe out attempting a snowboard trick
