Iā€™ve decided to really try and learn how to snowboard this season. Since I suck at it and because I have back problems, I decided to get some protection for my spine and such. Last year, I had a bruised tail bone for 2 months and slid a disk or two out of place thanks to one of my many awesome falls (pretty epic to watch). With my degenerative disc disease, I canā€™t be too careful. So I got this stuff: ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0103/BK.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0103/BK.jpg) ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0104/BK.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0104/BK.jpg) ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/NOM/NOM0607/WHPD.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/NOM/NOM0607/WHPD.jpg) ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0086/BK.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/DEM/DEM0086/BK.jpg) ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/PRO/PRO0057/WOOCM.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/PRO/PRO0057/WOOCM.jpg) ![http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/GIR/GIR0193/MATWH.jpg](http://www.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/GIR/GIR0193/MATWH.jpg) ---

Jeez, you could probably case a 50ft jump and be completely fine with all that gear. lol Have you considered taking lessons? They help a lot with developing technique, especially if youā€™ve never snowboarded before. ---

I borrowed my sister inlaws board and boots, packed it into the goldola at Gore. put the shit on and pointed it down that trail to the right. Found the faster you went the easier it was to control. Was fun a shit! feels so much different carving turns than skiis. Toe side turns are a real bitch when you go to exit the turn and catch the heal edge prior to changing your upper body direction! lol lost my goggles a few times and saw stars quick. I did find out that when you hit a jump for the first time, you really should program your mind that your no longer on skiis, becasue landing with both your toes facing down hill on the landing isnt a good thing to do with a snowboard attached to your feet! ---

They help a lot with developing technique, especially if youā€™ve never snowboarded before. Iā€™m hoping it helps lol. I fall a lot, but itā€™s mostly due to MAJOR shin splints which make me give up my stance and just topple over from the pain. Iā€™ve been doing stretches to help that though, so hopefully this season is better. No lessons. You can still fall even after lessons and I feel on my tail bone ONE time last year and it was bruised for months. Would get the gear regardless. > [@Been pulled over? check here](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/been-pulled-over-check-here/38001/8): > > fuck lessons. > > I borrowed my sister inlaws board and boots, packed it into the goldola at Gore. put the shit on and pointed it down that trail to the right.

Haha. Iā€™ve done that too where Iā€™ve launched myself forward in major fashion. At one point at Song Mountain in Syracuse I flew like 25ft and was probably 5ft in the air. The workers who watch out for folks came runnin over like, ā€œWTF!? WHAT are you doing?ā€ That shit hurt SO BAD. I thought I broke my back. I landed so hard on it that I heard the pop in my head lol. Iā€™m epicly turrible (as Charles Barkley would say) at this thing called snowboarding. I can get going quick by staying low, but eventually I wipe out. Obviously the key is to carve and not just zoom down the mountain full tilt, but thatā€™s about all Iā€™m good at the moment. ---
