Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 28 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Clothes
The overalls for a snowboard have appeared about 15 years ago then it still differed from ski only acidity of colors. In due course there were others colors and the new constructive decisions considering features of driving on snowboards.
Some information about colors and forms.
Snowboarders, wishing to confirm itself and the new kind of sports, long time tried to oppose itself to skiers in everything, including dresses. Therefore, if skiers have been dressed in clothes of quiet colors snowboarders put on in all bright. As soon as skiers were switched to poisonous colors - all riders (those who goes for a drive on snowboards) began to carry gloomy colors - brown, black, green. Forms and fashion lines were and remain under strong influence of the fashion extended among skaters environment and surfers, after all it is one big family of “boarders” - those who goes for a drive on boards, not very well what - with wheels or without, on snow, on water or on a firm surface. Three sources, three components of snowboarding clothes is a top layer (external), center (heater), and the first layer (bottom). It is easy to guess that they carry out different functions. Certainly, this conditional division into three layers, almost real layers can be much more.
The bottom layer - cozy and comfortable, it should not absorb a moisture, even, on the contrary, is obliged to deduce her to center.
The center - is necessary as much as possible to detain heat and to deduce formed moisture further to an external layer.
The external layer - is necessary for protection against a wind and snow, a rain, and to it similar. The external layer should keep heat allocated with a body, and, if necessary, to allow to pit quickly surpluses of heat in atmosphere. Modern fabrics allow deducing a moisture (sweat) through jacket minute pores outside.
FEATURES.
Now it is necessary to explain a few the basic base principles and features of snowboarding clothes.
Snowboarders during driving actively move, often sit down on snow, have a rest, kneeling, and rather often fall. In general, as well as in any business, at snowboarding lives is some specificity. Therefore it should be the clothes of special breed - especially for driving on a snowboard, instead of for skis or fishing.
Some layers - a comfort basis that it was possible to remove or add a superfluous layer if necessary.
Full snow - and waterproofing is just that that it is necessary for all of us at riding, and for what, alas; it is necessary to pay considerable money.

One of main principles of clothes for productive leisure - “Functionality is more important than a fashion!” On it you start to reflect, when weather unexpectedly spoils, and the most fashionable dress does not rescue from uncontrollable natural aggression.

Snowboarding: Advices About Jumps

Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 27 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Very many skiers and snowboarders like to jump. However not everybody jumps on qualitative springboards. Not the secret that building snow parks in some countries is in a germinal condition. Spring camp on Dombai, summer camp on Elbrus – that’s all if speak about Russia. Even in Moscow where, apparently, there are well-groomed slopes and snow guns, qualitative parks, to put it mildly, a little. It would be desirable to hope that in a coming season position will be at least slightly corrected. So, to begin with we will consider the general anatomy of a springboard. In an ideal the site of the slope allocated for construction of a springboard, should have about such configuration.The slope accurately shares on three basic sites:
Dispersal (In run) This site (that is evidently reflected in its name) serves for a set of speed necessary for a jump. Dispersal should be well rolled, and its length and steepness, naturally, define speed gathered for a jump.
Table (Table)It is almost horizontal or flat enough site of a slope. Its basic appointment – to serve as a platform for placing kicker. Kicker it is just direct a springboard, a man-made design in shape, roughly speaking, a trihedral prism. The table should be almost horizontal more smoothly to deduce rider on kicker, a having positive corner of a start. If kicker is with the same corner of a start to put directly on abrupt in run a site the exit on it will be perceived as blow on the feet, depriving balance of rider. And balance at the moment of a start – a basic thing at a jump.The site of a table beginning behind an edge of kicker is called as transit. It is meant that rider should fly transit. A landing on flat transit after a jump with the big amplitude – a thing painful.
Landing (Landing) This site as it is possible to guess under its name, serves for a landing after a jump. The landing should have a sufficient bias partially to extinguish a vertical component of speed of rider, having softened thus blow on feet. The length of a landing should be sufficient to provide to riders a certain stock – not everyone finishes the jump accurately in the landing beginning. Some in general fly it that is even more painful, than a landing on transit.
The unique reliable adviser in this question – your private experience. When you imagine, as works kicker, on what speed you can to leave comfortably on it, with what corner of a start it is more convenient to you to work – then all becomes more or less clearly. Choose the site of a slope most suitable in appearance, get upward, make a deep breath, a sharp exhalation – and wet downwards on a straight line. If snow fresh descent should be repeated some times while your trace will not be rolled. So you receive representation about the speed at an exit on a table, and also about, whether it is enough you a place on a landing and riding that it is safe to finish a jump.

Your snowboarding experience will depend a lot upon the snowboarding gear that you have. That is why pay serious attention to the choice of snowboarding gear. And this site will help you to find and choose the best snowboarding gear.

Snowboard Styles: Freestyle

The life is filled with new sense and gets brighter paints when in it there is a snowboarding. Simply because snowboarding is a risk, it is beauty, it is sports and, eventually, it is style, ah yes, and a heap of adrenaline!
And still, impreparation and rashness in a choice of the main attribute of this kind of sports is in a snowboard choice can become the very first obstacle in a life of any rider.
Not to cut the nice undertakings on a root, approach to purchase after careful consideration and seriously. After all on it depend not only quality of your “flight”, but also safety of your health. Whether so it is necessary to neglect similar councils?

First of all, be defined: for what the board is necessary to you? Well, you will tell, to send on errands, drive, before little girls/guys to stand out. But as usually in ours joy lives, not all so is simple. It is necessary to be defined with style of driving – that is with a main destination of your future board to learn, it should possess what characteristics. And styles as those, exists a little.
Freestyle is the most entertainment and active snowboard style. If you are involved in snowboarding with various tricks, so this style is for you. Jumps in half pipe, from a springboard, tricks on rolls and as result, (bruises and bruises) all delights of the freestyle including starts from natural mountain relieves and peaks with various rotations and captures of a board will help you to master an adrenaline large quantity. Technical freestyle (as a style version) is already driving on obviously rigid surfaces and the prepared constructions from dense snow with any performance of acrobatic tricks.
Free Riding.
The name of this style (free – free, riding – driving) speaks for itself. Its sense – in development of the driving: with any tricks, on any districts and lines, elements in half pipe and other jumps. Free ride represents driving in mountains on high speed on boundless virgin fields with fluffy snow and on wood, and also jumps from eaves, snow надувов and turns in radius about 100 meters, concerning a slope with a hand. Free ride Back Country is a driving in absolutely wild places without the designated lines with the raised avalanche danger where the foot of the person did not go. However unlike freestyle – this style not concerns on tricks only, it also approaches for those who prefer a freedom in choosing. Free ride is something an average between freestyle and downhill racing, it is the most popular and consequently the majority of the snowboards that are available on sale, are intended for it.
Slalom/ Racing / Carving.
If you are in snowboarding involved with more speed, than staginess – that this style ideally approaches you. Despite it seems simplicity; it demands the big skills and experience in management of a board. Therefore, if you are a beginner snowboarder – stop the attention to styles easier and be guided by it in a choice of the future board.

Snowboarding And The Styles Of Driving

Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 26 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Snowboarding is a descent on snow from hillsides on specially equipped board. Furious admirers of modern hobby became generally surfers, not wishing to do nothing in expectation of summer days. In our country the snowboard has received a mass recognition only in the mid-nineties. However now in Russia it is possible to get different equipment from leading world manufacturers and to receive lessons of riding at skilled instructors.
Special lines with springboards and other every possible obstacle on which snowboarders can get up to various acrobatic tricks are now made many. But in the last among snowboarders Half-pipe — a construction from the snow, similar to a stage for scooters became especially popular.
In general the extreme hobbies connected with mountain skiing and a snowboard, it is possible to divide into some groups: free skiing or free ride is a descent on abrupt unprepared slopes with a difficult relief; heel skiing - the same, but with use of the helicopter as a delivery system on mountain; ski-touring (random ski) - ski-round, mountaineering with use of skis and special fastenings for lifting uphill;
Everyone snowboarder has a special style of driving. Style not in how you go for a drive. But this your driving. As you hold hands, body position, position of knees. It how you do jumps as you extend tricks as you pass transits. Style it as your print of fingers - it is your individual. It is how you express yourself on a slope. You can be assured that anybody any more will not have a same expression.
Though style cannot be studied or repeated, style - not constant concept. Style always varies. Why style varies? There are two important factors defining style change. The first is rider. With growth of skills of rider, style varies, but slightly.
The second is that I understand as concept “macro style”. Macro style - current dominating style in a snowboard. Riders investigate that now stylishly in a snowboard and add it in the riding. The classical example is a rotation with late grab. It was later used by many of professional worldwide snowboarders.
Truly that some riders are more stylish, than others and it concerns also professional snowboarders. But style is very subjective thing. In what I see style, cannot see you as style. We can argue for a long time, but, eventually, both we will appear are right.
You can have a same board, as well as at twenty others on a slope, but your style will give you individuality. Seeing you on a slope, I will understand that it you, instead of other nineteen persons with the same boards.

Style does you unique, so appreciate it. Don’t try to be similar with others, every snowboarder is special and has special riding.

The Main Aspects About Snowboarding And Its Development

Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 26 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

Dance on waves has pleased to people very much for a long time and people have decided to learn to dance on snow breakers. The first boards strongly differed one from another on the size, the form and materials and even on a way of configuration of these materials. However if to reject cosmetic and industrial details, it will be found out that the design of present snowboards is still based on concepts of the first pioneers of a new kind of sports.
By 1980 snowboarding had the status of national hobby. Some magazines, which are taking a great interest in surfing and the fads, began to print articles about snowboarding and the equipment for it. To 1986 year there was a splash in popularity of a snowboard. The modern industry of snowboarding was born. The organized competition, the new and borrowed materials, innovative workings out and separate innovators have given all to it the big acceleration.
The first official competitions on snowboarding have passed on a resort Ski Cooper in Leadville (Colorado). This congress of outstanding masters of driving on a snowboard and representatives of firms became the catalyst of set of useful ideas. Probably here for the first time snowboarders have acquired the right to take advantage of lifts. However, it was most important that «there was an arena for the future competitions» as one of the first participants Jeff Grell has told.
Constantly the number snowboarders at the expense of mountain skiers who wish to test in new sports together or instead of usual traditional driving from mountains grow. Initially mountain skiers concerned a snowboard with frank interest. Gradually with “norm” occurrence - disobedient, violent teenagers on snowboards - they began to consider themselves restrained. The industry of mountain skis has taken protective measures, and snowboarders only rejoiced the exclusiveness and hastened to fix stereotypes. Now all has changed. A key to interaction and understanding among those who goes for a drive from mountains, - dialogue. Today refusal to admit on the slopes among mounting skiing resorts is considered a snowboard scandalous, and after all not so long ago driving on ski slopes was the privilege of those who behaves very well. Illegal using lifts was in the nature of things. In comparison with 7 % of the resorts which were not starting up a snowboard to in 1985г, for today remains only five “closed” resorts: Med River Glenn, the State of Vermont, Alta and Dir Velli, the State of Utah, Taos Ski Velli, the State of New Mexico, and Aspen in Colorado.
Snowboarding - an echo of the world of professional football, but all the same beginners its basis. Actually, in all young kinds of sports “youth” became some kind of necessary a condition for occurrence on a professional scene. Young people, stirred on quick riding, getting when it especially disturbs, constantly plays the fool and does not cease to squeal. They are similar to the annoying younger brother. But the matter is that it is deep inside each of us feels attachment to them. They see the superiority of young generation and how they move sports forward.
Snowboarding does not associate any more with arrival of new people. Small inflow of young men is obligatory and is available annually, but the demographic structure in snowboarding more and more varies.

Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 25 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

People who are just going to fond of snowboarding have too many questions about practicing this kind of sport. Let’s discuss some of them that are general questions and errors of snowboarding riding.
By words the technique of riding is very difficult to explain: imagine the self-instruction manual “How to become the ballerina” Therefore high lights of technique of a snowboard, conditional levels of the driving, typical errors are more low described only.
For beginners and not only:
- At any possibility remove the driving on video
- Safely address to instructors, any people going for a drive on docks for the help
- Learn to brake and stop
- Please, do not fall forward:
- Be not afraid to sweep, twist the case and to wave hands the first days (do not forget to get rid subsequently of it).
- Hold the case vertically, it is not necessary to bend faced to knees.
- The board costs plainly on snow if only you move directly downwards.
- If you move a traverse or do the turn, one of edgings should be torn off from snow, it is called edging.
- At edging your center of gravity should be or over an edging pressed by snow, or behind it, i.e. at movement downwards in the beginning there is an edging torn off from snow, then the edging pressed by snow, then your center of gravity; it is the main way not to fall forward through an edging (to catch an edging).
- It is necessary to stop by statement of a board across a slope and simultaneous edging.
- At falling fall back, without being bent in a waist, on all back at once, (ask fighters as) on a tangent to a slope.
- In 5-10 days you will not fall any more (ask any skilled snowboarder and you will become more confident).
Typical errors:
- Absence of edging.
- A support on a hind leg, and, as consequence, absence of controllability.
- Attempts to jump on a board instead of to slide.
- Attempts to go both left, and the right foot forward.
- Unwillingness to continue to study, despite falling.

General Requirements To Boards

Posted by Extremesportsman On December - 24 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS

The general requirements to boards are uniform. Any of them should be to you on a chin, have a strong sliding covering, that is to be steady on a slope.
If you the reckless driver also are going to show a class in snow park, namely: to jump from a springboard, to fly from a crest on a crest in a pipe trench (half pipe) or to arrange tricks on handrail (rolls), you is necessary a board for freestyle with marks FS. It of centimetres on 10 is the shortest than other snowboards, hardly easier and as a rule is symmetric, that is from both ends is bent (Twin Tip).
For those who does not love equipped snow parks and prefers driving on impassability (boarder cross), boards free ride with marks FR will approach.
In case you yet have not solved how will go for a drive, take a universal board - All Mountain.
Today allocate three principal views of snowboarding. Freestyle (Freestyle - free style), Free ride (Free ride - free driving) and Racing (Racing - race, still this style name Slalom). There is still a universal style Freestyle/free raid.
In conformity with it, all boards divide into 4 groups.
Looking at a board for Freestyle, at first sight not to disassemble, where a sock, and where a heel: they are symmetric also very soft. Such board in general is bent and up and down and even is braided, as linen at squeezing. Sideways deep cut (”Waist”) - turns out that a board as though narrowed on width. All it is made for its manoeuvrability, it is easily entered in turns, springs. Firm Burton snowboards are untwisted better - on them prize-winning places were repeatedly won. But also the price for them is more. However snowboards of other firms, for example Nitro, K2, Rossignol, Ride, Oxygen, etc. are worse nothing, and the price lower.
The board for free ride in the centre is more rigid, than sideways and on the ends. In front it a little longer than behind (to tell fastenings on such board more truly are established not on the middle, and is closer to a back part). That such board not lade out snow from a virgin soil in full operation, its “socks” are strongly inflexed. These boards are capable to go practically on-any slopes, whether it is ice or a soft virgin soil. Good enough boards for free ride now do firms K2 and Sims. Boards Rossignol cost cheaper a little and also quite good.
To universal boards - for all kinds of driving - it is possible to carry boards Town Direction and Direction, which let out firms Head Scott, Santa Cruz and some other. This fire wood is well operated on any snow, and the main thing - when to you would be desirable to jump, make “switch” (a jump with turn) or a somersault from a springboard - you can allow it to yourselves. Longitudinal and cross-section amortisation of a board is created by its special structure - as honeycombs in a beehive or as a puff pie. Cost of these boards is same as well as boards of other types.
