Action Snowboarding

Rider's Ed

33 min

The most comprehensive basic snowboarding instructional to date. "Rider's Ed" takes any rider from wanting to snowboard to putting turns together on the mountain, starting with basic concepts like choosing equipment, snowboarding etiquette, mounting bindings, and properly lacing boots. It covers how to edge, how to fall, how to get off the lift, how to link turns, and how to do it all quickly and safely. This is a snowboarding instructional produced by snowboarders for the novice snowboarder. The concept is the brainchild of Scott Dickens, an avid snowboarder who saw a void in the marketplace. "As an owner of Glass & Powder Boardshop, I've seen hundreds of new snowboarders who NEEDED this video, but I just didn't have it to sell them!" says Dickens. "There are comparable instructional videos for skateboarding, surfing, and wakeboarding, but nothing for snowboarding that was up-to-date and relevant." Check it out before you hit the slopes! "Thorough information for rank beginners. Easy to follow and understand. A good first-day progression of skills. If you're not going to take a first-time lesson, watch this video instead."
