best (worse if any) of boarding

[short_beans]

i love the rush of it. there's not much not to like but i didn't like having to lug my board around attached to my foot in the beginning, now i'm slowly gettng used to it though

[eastcoastlove]

i like the feeling it gives you when you accomplished something. like your first grab or spin. your just like yessss.
it reminds me of surfing. it gives you a feeling you really cant explain.
there really isnt much to not like about it, but i dont like when you break bones.

Adrenaline.

Gotta have it!

[burnpianoxisland]

The feel of a board under your feet, speed, adrenaline, nature, chillin with friends and listening to some tunes = the best.

worst = - 15 degrees or lower, frost bite and snow yetis.

dude the board on one foot thing sucks, but i got much better at it idk which foot you do but i leave my front foot in, then just like push a little then jump on and just ride the flatground, its much easier then walking.

diving head first when you actually meant to not lean forward when you tryed to stop heelside and hit a bad rift, also my foot cramps when im on the lift because of the weight but its all good besides that....

[psychonaut]

the speed, catching air

worst? my left foot always trying to fall asleep on the lift or cramping up.

the adrenaline rush definately gives you a big kick. once u really stick it out through ice, snow, everything. its just a feeling, its something thats you. i got an A(90) on an essay for writing about how awsome snowboarding is :)

Man the best thing about snowboarding is the floating sensation you get when you are ridding in fresh powder!!! Snow blowing up in your face on every turn almost so bad you can't even breathe.

And the worst thing is not having the first thing.....(SNOW)!!!!!

[gerard]

The best thing is definatley a non icy day on th east coast :)

The worst would have to be crowded trails. There is nothing like dodging a father holding his son on a leash. Geez get the F out the way...

[Shockwave732]

Or the slow adult skiers who make big enough turns that they take up half the trail, but small enough so u cant get by em

[Martin]

best would have to be stomping a new move and the rush of carving your way down a steep run.

worst would have to be the friggin milo kids taking up the whole bloody run and not being able to get past them.

[Radsnowboarder]

probley landing a scary trick off a big jump or just riding for the first time of the season

[cavlax1]

best part of riding is definatly landing spins of hips and tables and just riding away knowing that **** was clean and as styled as it can get

[GearheadGambler]

the sound of the board on the rail is music to my ears...

[redace24]

Best - The feeling of being free!

Worst - Snow Chickens (refer to thread link below)

[christine]

The best thing is belting down the hill, the worst is definately the drive home :(

[EROCKSNOW]

Well the reason i fell in love with snowboarding is cuz it is some good quality me time where I am free to do what ever the hell i want. I really like to look at the scenery when i board and really its kinda spiritual. Nothing like haulen ass down a huge mountain attached to a big stick on a bunch a snow.

[burnpianoxisland]

Goggle gap (very rare for me to get). It ****ing sucks.

[wrxchic]

best: the rush you get when you're hauling a$$ down the mountain; the thrill you get after you land a gnarly jump;
worst: hauling ass down the mountain only to see sorry folk sitting at the top of the crest...bastards. get out of the way.

[johngchrist]

worst 70 mph winds and -40 degree closing lifts right after that powerder dump and no snow.

best- just being outside

[letsgoride]

looks like everyone's nailed the best parts. the worst is not being able to do the best parts.

[redace24]

The worst is the groups of school kids that ride down the mountain together and stop every 15 feet, in the center of the trail to giggle and play patty-cake. Get the hell out the way before I bowl you all over!

[monkeybox]

yo...im about 6 ft. tall and was wondering what size board i should use? i like shorter boards but im looking to buy one now and i don't wanna make the wrong choice ya know...if anyone could help out that would be cool...peace...

[redace24]

Really depends on what kinda riding you are going to do. I'm 6 ft. also and I ride a 161. I mostly freeride. If I was going to do tricks I would go smaller. I'd say 158-165.
