I learned how to snowbard yesterday, and I had an awesome time. However, I fell a ton, and today I am sore all over. Is there any way to get rid of the pain?

Does anyone know where I can find a good skating dress pattern with no sleeves, preferably a halter top?
I've looked in fabric stores like Joanns and stuff but they only have wierd patterns with long sleeves.
I just want to make a practice dress, because I have a hard time finding ones that aren't way expensive that fit me because I'm really skinny but I have kind of a long torso and I know how to sew.

I have been skating every day for two weeks and I am still getting bruises and blisters on my toes and ankles. The boots were professionally fit, so I know that they are they right size. I am just having trouble breaking them in.

I asked for and got a pair of inexpensive (trial) ones for Christmas and am going with some friends to Vail in a couple weeks. I'd like to give some kind of winter activity (besides the usual hibernation) a try. Do I pack the snow shoes or the fake cast and bottle of rum drink?

I'm just curious because my new snowboard pants seems really thin compared to my old ski pants. I was planning on wearing shorts underneath. Any other suggestions?

I'm learning to ice skate, and I get muscle cramps in the arches of my feet after just a few minutes. I've switched from figure skates to hockey skates, put in arch support inserts and gel insoles, tightened the laces and loosened the laces. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions?

I am an intermediate rider (I can carve basically) and I am looking for a board that is not too advance for me, but that I can progress on as well (since I got a season pass and plan on going at leat 12 times this winter). I don't want to have to buy a new one next year just because I will get better. Any suggestions of snowboards for an intermediate rider that can be used to progress with too?!?!. Btw, my board length is 159cm :). Thanks!

I have never really competed before, although I have been figure skating for 10 years and have been in annual shows almost every year. I just started looking into competing but am annoyed that the music must be non vocal. It puzzles me as to why this is, so I just wanted to know what others think of it.

Hello,

I am a guy (85kg/187lb - 190cm/6.23ft - shoes size 10) and I practice snowboarding since 2002.

I am using a Burton Custom 166 but I can't really find the right feeling with the stance of this board which is limited to 53cm.

As far as I can see no Burton boards have a stance width larger than this and I don't know why.

I like riding with a duckfoot stance and I would like to know what tall riders are using in terms of size and setting (i.e. stance width, offset, and angles).

Thank you

My kids snowboard, and they have the kind with bindings and snowboard boots, etc. My sister just bought a snowboard for her 5 year old that has those bindings that are more like flaps, and you wear your regular boots. The underside is not flat, and the board is not quite as substantial as my kids boards.

My kids say that he won't be allowed to use it on the ski hill they go to, and the staff at the hill says he wants to see it before he makes a decision. Now, I totally am fine with it, but can someone tell me WHY this is so I can tell my sister (so she doesn't embarrass me by throwing a fit at the ski hill)?

Thanks!

I have new Burton Freestyle boots and K2 Cinch'05 bindings. The bindings seem too small for the boots - the straps are almost maxed out. This seems odd, considering I have med-sized feet (8.5)....

...Any words of wisdom?!?

Just wondering, because I am pretty flexible, but whenever I try to do a beillman I can pull my skate up and grab it with the other hand, and I can almost pull it up over my head, but whenever I try to pull it up any higher my back starts to hurt really badly. I stretch a lot, but is there any specific stretches that I could do to make it so I could pull it up higher without my back hurting?

By the way, http://www.denisebiellmann.com/ga/figur04.jpg this is a biellman

Hi,
I have been wearing these boots for 2 years now and experiencing extremely numb toes after only 10 minutes of riding. I have pretty bad circulation to begin with and my toes and hands are easily cold, but it has gotten to the point where I'm getting chilblains this year (I shouldn't be getting those at this age, I think!). Is this because they are too small? Also, these boots seem to allow my heel to slide up and down, which makes me think that they might be too big?!

Is this a result of boots being too small, or too big? Or are they just fitting improperly all around?

Thanks.
