woywoy 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Nah, you dont need to be nervous. Far from it, you should be looking forward to it! Sure you wont be a pro within a day but if you dedicate a bit of time to it you will improve out of sight very soon. If you are snowboarding, a surfing or skateboarding background can help a little but having said that people who dont have that sort of background can be ripping in a relatively short time as well. Go for it! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Reminds me of the first time I went. Couldn't sleep a wink the night before. I kept going over in my mind how I was going to be stepping on this slippery thing at the top of a big hill, with no brakes. Try and sleep, I would. You'll be better for it in the morning...

montoya 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I'm sure you'll do fine. Some things I would point out to a friend out their first time: *learn how to fall correctly *wear a hip-pad, because you are going to fall lots *like Ocean11 said, get lots of sleep the night before *focus on making turns and stopping. the sooner you learn how to stop and control your speed, the quicker your confidence will build *stop from time to time and just take it all in, just ENJOY!

HERON 0 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 No need to be nervous, just have fun (but take it seriously) and don't push yourself by doing anything you feel you shouldn't be doing. You'll know. Have a good time. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Not at all. Just go out there with the intention to enjoy it - and you most likely will do just that. Link to post Share on other sites

wakaran 1 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 You shouldn't be in the least bit nervous. If you are going out there, you are doing it for fun right? So go out and have FUN! Link to post Share on other sites
