Default Re: OOT snowboarders - help me get started

Oh yeah, wrist guards...forgot about those. I never needed them, I learned very quickly to cross my arms over my chest like I was doing a sit-up whenever I fell. If you can't get rid of the reflex to put your hands down under you to break your fall, then yes absolutely get wrist guards.

Also, don't get discouraged, the first two or three times there will be a lot of falling, some ass bruises, and you will feel out of control at times. But then something just happens around the 3rd or 4th time you go, something clicks, and you fall a lot less.
