Snowboarding - riding on a snow-covered slope on a wide monoski. Sometimes this extreme sport is not complete without falls. Moreover, neither newcomers nor honored veterans are insured against them - situations on the track can be different. Often, when mastering the basics of skiing, beginners are hampered by the fear of how not to break the snowboard, because the speeds can be quite significant, and when performing freestyle tricks, you have to land on the board from sufficiently high heights.
Instructions
Step 1
It's not just that a snowboard board is a rather expensive sports equipment, psychologically, a board breakdown is associated with an emergency, in which the athlete himself is in danger. Much, of course, depends on the board you ride, but the use of modern technology allows manufacturers to make boards that are nearly impossible to break. Well, unless you crash into a tree or stone at high speed.
Step 2
Therefore, try to get rid of this fear and, while learning the basics of skiing, be sure to learn how to fall correctly on a snowboard so as not to "break" yourself. After all, unfortunately, our bones, although strong enough, are not made using high technologies. For starters, make it a rule to wear a helmet, and buy good snowboarding gloves, this will protect your head from bumps and your fingers from fractures.
Step 3
The reason for the increased risk of injury to a snowboard is often fear, which constrains movement, and the athlete's muscles become hard. In this state, any fall can become dangerous. Try to relax while riding, a soft, free, plastic body will not be seriously affected when falling, unless, of course, these are extreme speeds and heights.
Step 4
Another cause of falls and injuries to snowboarders is the poor condition of the equipment, poor weather conditions on the mountain and the poor condition of the snow cover. If, unlike skiers, a screw injury to the ligaments of the knee is not a typical injury to a snowboarder, then a fracture of the wrist joint is popular with them. After all, it is so natural to substitute your hand, resting on your palm when you fall.
