Snowboarding is a beautiful, extreme and exciting sport that attracts more and more new people every year who want to learn spectacular tricks, without which snowboarding cannot be called complete and maximum enjoyment for an athlete. There are a number of rules that you should follow if you decide to master the technique of jumping on a snowboard. Not only the beauty of the jumps themselves depends on these rules, but also the safety of the athlete.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to learn how to jump qualitatively, you need a comfortable springboard of sufficient steepness. A springboard for training can be found in the snowpark, and if possible, you can build a springboard yourself. The correct diving board must be set up on an incline, its surface must be level and smooth, and the exit from the springboard must be straight.
Step 2
If you want your jump on the trampoline to be successful, approach the trampoline with your legs slightly bent and your back straight. Practice driving up to the trampoline quickly and accurately without falling in the process, and then start practicing your jumps. With your legs bent, ride the snowboard down the springboard without pushing off or straightening your legs. This rule must be observed in order not to lose balance. In addition, the shoulders parallel to the plane of the snowboard help to maintain balance on the board.
Step 3
If you jump in this position, the board will not turn perpendicular to the springboard and you will land safely. Landing after a jump also needs to be trained - train and achieve maximum stability of the departure, on which the stability of the landing directly depends. The more accurate and correct the take off from the springboard, the more accurate you will land after the jump.
Step 4
There are a number of popular tricks that novice snowboarders dream of mastering - for example, ollies. In order to make an ollie, you need to push off from the edge of the springboard, approaching it in order to fly higher. When pushing, do not tuck your legs under you - push with your feet evenly, directing the force downward.
Step 5
Leaving the trampoline, lift your knees to your chest, and then land on your bent legs. After you master the basic jumping technique, and after you start to consistently get the ollie trick, you can move on to mastering more complex tricks - Nose & Tail Rolls, Shifties, as well as a variety of spins and grabs.
Step 6
When performing any trick, remember that the key moment of the trick is performed at the highest point of the jump.
