It isn't necessary to go to difficult slopes at once. Even the most experienced athlete who isn't needing training at the snowboard needs to remember at first all skills and movements, for this purpose also the educational slope well approaches.

Not to take superfluous

The backpack holds down movements during descent on the snowboard behind the back. It is better to leave spare warm clothes, the thermos and other things in the luggage storage. They are often equipped near the slope. Will go there at need closer, than to the car.

It is also very useful to grind the edging before the season. Only it is necessary to be attentive and careful: with new paraffin and the sharp edging the speed of the snowboard increases many times. It isn't necessary to disperse too until muscles remember the correct movements.

It is competent to plan trips

Serious injuries often happen during the periods of strong fatigue. For prevention of it it is desirable to distribute forces reasonably. It is better to visit difficult slopes in the second third of the trip. The body is warmed already up, but fatigue didn't collect yet.

Alcohol only in bar

Categorically it is impossible to ride the snowboard in a state of intoxication. It is reckless both for itself, and for people around. The drunk athlete badly is guided and operates the body, those who only study especially can suffer from it to ride the snowboard. The beginner just won't manage to evade from the inadequate person rushing on him with high speed.

Not to forget about the defense

The snowboard is very traumatic, falling and collisions are frequent. The helmet – the obligatory part of equipment on the slope saving the most valuable part of the body from serious damages – the head.
