it looks good when you follow the rider or ride next to him but you must keep a steady shot. on rails stand close to the top and film downward. make sure you just have a variety of shots to keep the video interesting. ive seen kids climb trees for good shots its all about creativity.
How would you explain the technique of snowboarding to a beginner?
my friend is kinda just starting to snowboard… but he sucks…. so i need a good way to explain the “technique” of snowboarding to him…
his trouble is just the idea of cutting…. he just goes straight down and falls when he tries to turn… i think its because he doesn’t keep his legs loose. but i want some more oppinions…
Snowboarding – Beginner Rail and Jump tricks/techniques?
Can anyone give me some ideas on some easy tricks or techniques for rails and jumps? I just started going in the park this year and I’m not really sure where to start =( Please help =)
Technically in a slight way since the rocker is between the bindings, Essentially what you’ll notice is heavy tail carving or heavy nose carving because the board pivots in the middle. It wont be anything dramatically different but you’ll probably notice the difference, i did.
what is difference between skiing and snowboarding? (techniques, enjoyment, injuries, time & money…)?
i know skiing is easier to learn more difficult to master. But how can I know which sport is suitable for me if I don’t have time to try them both?
Start in the beginner park and on the smallest jumps and on the funbox/tabletop.
When you do jumps, try to ollie as high as you can as you come off the tip. This is done by pushing down with your rear foot and then lifting your front foot and jumping with your rear foot. This will give you a lot of lift. Keep the board straight and land with both of your feet at the same time on the downwards slope.
On boxes, start off by going on straight and riding to the end and dropping off. Its a weird sensation but pretty easy to do (We had first timers on the tabletop and they did it with ease.)
When its time to start spinning, go up to the box and start turning just before you get on. Keep a flat base or you will slide and fall.
Don’t give up after a few crashes, they will happen and there is nothing you can do about them. Most of the time, it doesn’t hurt at all… But when you get to bigger jumps and screw it up, thats when it can hurt if you don’t bail properly. (40ft jump and landed flat based just before the knuckle… couldn’t walk properly for 3 days…)
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! WEAR A HELMET!
Saved me quite a few times and you feel so much safer.
The one piece of advice that helped me the most was this. When making toe side turns bring your knees together and when making heel side turns push your knees away from eachother.
You should also try to get him to snowplow (staying on one edge and sliding the down the hill like that) so that he can get the feeling of sliding on the snow in a controlled way.
But it sounds like you might want to suggest that he take a lesson. A professional snowboard instructor could explain things to him much more easily and he should be able to pick it up faster that way.

Snowboarding camera techniques?

Everything the only simularity is that they are both done in snow
