Snowboarding

I snowboard regularly and the season just started up again. I ride goofy, and can jump and land fine, I can throw a grab too, but I'm not sure which way I feel more comfortable spinning. Which way is easier to learn on? I am goofy, so I don't know if I should be spinning to my left or to my right. Any help for a beginner at aerial spins would help..

I have underarmour coldgear and columbia pants. Should I wear some form of mid layer or is it unecessary? I also have underarmour socks that are made for snowboarding will they be enough? My upper body once again is a underarmour coldgear mock turtleneck and a 85% polyester hoodie underneath. Then my jacket.

I have heard a lot of different things from people on this. I was told to wear swishy pants or snow pants because I will be falling a lot. I was also told that I shouldn't wear a cotton sweater? So yeah if someone could tell me what I should wear for tomorow, I'd love you to bits.

So, I know I'm going to sound stupid asking all these questions, but I really do suck at snowboarding :( So if you can give me tips on any of my following issues, I would really appreciate it!

-I don't know how to skate the snow, like when I'm just going through the line to the lifts. It's always short strides and jerky, and I can never get the board directed to where I want to go.

- Getting on the lifts, I get so freaked out because as it starts going up, my board usually carries snow and drags behind, and I feel like I'm going to fall of the chair. One time, I actually did, that was not even cool =/

- My feet start to hurt so much when I'm going down the hill and I'm not good at turning.

I'm not sure how specific my problems I just described are, but if you can help on the skating and getting on lifts, I would more thatn appreciate it. Thanks!

Hey guys,
I'm an intermediate snowboarder who's borrowed equipment until this year. I just bought a Ride Control 158 '05 board and set it up with basic plastic strap in bindings.

I was strapped in, and testing the flex of the board (only the slightest lean each way on the board) and when I brought my right heel up, I would hear a creaking noise coming from the board. It almost sounded like the binding was just loose and pulling on the board a little too much, but I checked the binding bolts, they were all tight.

Can anyone explain if this might be a defective board, or if this a normal sound to hear? I'll be going boarding in 2 days so I'll eventually find out. But just wondering if I'm going to break my board out there or something.

Thanks!

I used to snowboard, approx. 3 years ago but I outgrew my old snowboard. I just purchased a new snowboard online, a Forum Raider 163 cm. The board is more of a freestyle board. But my question is can I still use it for just riding down the mountain? I mean I know I can but will it stink performance wise? Will I notice a huge difference in getting a freestyle board rather than a freeride board? I won't be doing tricks any time soon. Thanks.

im trying to mount the bindings but the screws seem to be too short. i would think there would be no such problems since both are ride brand. do i just take it all to a local shop and have them install it?

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/9757/dsc00345fj1.jpg


the second image is my right binding (back)
as one can see, the base plates have is opposite of another. Because there was like 4 arrows on side on the circles, i got confused when i put them :S.
I'm wander if i should reinstall the bindings or is it okay if I leave it like this. These are burton baseplate, unidisk.

Thank you for your help :D

When I snowboard I do wide turns. When I watch other people snowboard they do short fast turns. This technique of turning makes them go faster. When I try to do turns like that it makes me loose my balence and I fall. Also my body won't let me do those fast turns. Also when I turn, my front leg gets alot of pressure when I turn.Can some one help give me advice?
