Snowboarding

I need some tips and a video to help me out.
I'm going to a small park so i don't have to worry about getting run over, just learning.

So I just bought a used 06/07 152 "el sined" sined snowboard and am wondering about its camber and flex. It hasn't been used much and it's a little on the stiff side, but the guy said it's because it needs to be broken in. And it doesn't have a whole lot of camber. So I'm wondering, does it really only need to be broken in? Does flexibility come with use?

Strap-in or ratchet bindings cause a great deal of discomfort to me while boarding. In fact, it is so great that I stopped boarding mid-trip to get step-ins. The location of straps cause my foot to loose all feeling within 10-15 minutes of being strapped in because all the weight is concentrated on two spots on my foot. The step-in does not since it distributes the weight over the entire top of the foot/ankle/shin. I have this same problem with roller blades.

I am looking to replace my current step-in boots since they are too large for my feet and wanted to see what over all picture is for the step-in binding/boot market.

I have not tried "flows" or something "flow"-like so I am open to the idea of them.

I've been boarding for 4 years.

Another beginner here... I haven't been able to hit the slopes for about two years, and so my board's been sitting in my closet. After recent inspection, I noticed that my edges are all rusty and the the screws attaching my bindings to my board have also become somewhat rusty. Is there anything I should do about this? Or will it be okay to just tighten the screws and go with it?

I hit a rock :( The dent is about the size of your pinky nail, but its on the sidewall. all of the sheets of fibergalss where mushed and they seemed to separate from one another.i took some pliers and bent them back together and it seems to be alright. the board was fairly expensive and brand new. i just wanted to know if this separation will escalate over time or if i should get it checked

What makes each board type and which one has better handling, speed, easier to carve with (etc.)? I like to just ride down the slopes but i like to hit the terrain every now and then so which would be a better type for me?

Just wondering.

However, I live in an area where the closest place to snowboard is over two hours away, which means I can't really snowboard near as much as I want, or need to. I'm only 16, and I've only been snowboarding once, but I loved it and I've always wanted to do it.

I'm really looking for advice from experienced riders. I think I could be great. I went to an area with a bunch of other first-timers, I didn't take any lessons, and I did much better than all the other first-timers. It just feels natural to me.

I'm going to college soon, so that could really open up my options. What areas would you recommend for me? I can get into most schools, so as long as it isn't Ivy League, it's not a problem.

Also, are any of you sponsored? If so, how long did that take?

I'm really serious about snowboarding, so I really need some help. Thanks!

I am 5'10" and weigh about 135lbs. I am an experienced rider (10 years) and i need a new board. I am on ski patrol and for the things that i do I need to be able to carve turns and hold the edge all the way through the turn especially in icy conditions. I generally ride on pretty icy or sometimes groomed, moguled, or glades trails. I currently ride an Avalanche 150 prop board but continue to be told that i need a more light weight, flexible board, maybe longer board. Is there a specific board anyone could suggest to me or a better idea on a more flexible board taking into consideration what i must do?

Hey I am on the computer and I am indeed a skateboarder. I have my tony hawk t-shirt and shoes on, so thats proof. I want to know what skateboarding skills will help me my first try. I am going to go outside and try after lunch, going down my snow-covered driveway. If i can get a good answer in the next 10 minutes, it will automatically be best answer.

I know how to do the following:
Ollie
Shove-It (still need practice)
Manual
Pivot (turn on board in 180 degree rotation, in a manual position)

Please tell me which of these are good skills to have

THANKS!!!
I would also like any tips you have for a beginner. Thank you once again!!

Do you scrape it off after applying it? Do you do it the day of your trip or before it? Any other information that you think would help me. I know how to use hot wax so I'm not asking about that explain rub ons to me.

this weekend. I am doing ski for two years.
Would it be easy to learn? I know it is very different from ski but i also used to skate.
Or i will just destroy my weekend while i could have done ski?
