The right choice of snowboarding is the guarantee of good skating

It is no secret that in recent years interest in winter sports among the younger generation has doubled. And for this is to thank the snowboards, which most recently came with Western culture. However, not everyone knows that choosing a snowboard is not an easy task. You need some understanding to stop your view on the only possible means for riding.

Most importantly, according to the already experienced "bordists", start with the selection of quality shoes. The truth in this statement is, because you can not correctly learn to ride on the board, while the leg will be in a free position.

The choice of boots for snowboarding takes place according to two characteristics: at a price, because the understated cost indicates a questionable quality, and the fabric boot on which comfortable riding depends. Do not stare at leather products, they quickly deform, although more quality. More popular synthetic materials, which have good protection against moisture, which does not lead to discomfort after two hours of skiing. But their reliability may be better - a couple of seasons, no more.

There are boots with a thermo fit, which fit the foot after a special warm-up about 90 degrees. This function can be used up to several times until the foot is comfortable. It is important to remember that one should not go out in hot shoes on the street, they can quickly lose their qualities. The main rule in choosing such shoes is compliance with all warranty requirements.

The choice of snowboarding is not just about buying quality "boots", but fixing is equally important in this matter. In the end, after all, they are responsible for the reliability and safety of the descent.

First of all, the bindings are selected under the shoes, so that it sits tight, without excess traffic. It should be for you to choose exactly the type of hitch that is most suitable. Either it will be the mounts with the body, where a small saving in the rigidity of the boot material is allowed, or it will be a step-in system - just put your foot on the "board" and click the lock. The second option is more convenient, but more dangerous, because these mountings are not very reliable, and with a strong impact, the leg can simply fly out.

When the shoes, costume and all accessories are selected, it is necessary to decide on the "board." It is important, when the choice of a snowboard is already inevitable, remember about observance of the sizes and growth. You can not take a man whose height exceeds 180 centimeters, "board" by 150 centimeters.

Such things in all sports shops are usually commensurable, but it is not superfluous to know a few basic rules.

Snowboards fall into three categories: freeride - mostly for deep snow skiing with frequent visits to ski resorts; Freestyle - for more experienced "riders", involves skating with various tricks and jumps; Allmountain is a universal board for beginners.

Then follows the choice of snowboarding, where the height and weight of the athlete determine the size of his future "board". The main thing in this moment, of course, is that the size of a snowboard should in no case exceed the dimensions of a person, like weight. With abundant forms and low growth, most likely, the "board" will not be able to pick.

Safety regulations. Tips for beginners in snowboarding

It is not necessary to buy a new "board" for the first descent from the slope and select an expensive manufacturer, in this case it is better to rent it in the place where the test run will take place. First, it is cheaper (not the fact that high-speed descents will be like), and secondly, it is first worth learning.

The choice of snowboarding is still a matter of more experienced people who can evaluate both their strengths and the quality of the mountain. You can buy always, but to leave dusting such a thing will be a pity. Therefore, to acquire a board for yourself is better at a time when you can confidently say that you will be fond of this sport all your life.
