I had a “Mogul Monster” snowboard as a kid and loved it. But I would love to try the real thing sometime. Interests me more than downhill skiing. Wonder when, if, how…?

How I did it: Snowboarding for the first time hurts!!! Its a great experience to ride the earth like that but wow when I fell-- I fell hard. So from when I started my 43things.com account, it took me 4 days to go snowboarding and I went with 7 other people which 5 of them was their first time as well. It was cool falling down with all my friends. hahahaha. Now I will add skiing to my 43things.com to do list, it looks easier. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend of mine took me snowboarding a few years ago at a huge hill near his house. I borrowed his sister's snowboard and went for it. I made it down almost the entire hill without falling down once. Trust me, that was beginners luck - each time after that I fell nearly 20 times and ended up with major bruises on my tailbone. It was so much fun though! It's nice to challenge your balance and spend the day in… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I pretty much spent the evening crashing down the bunny hill, but it was fun and definitely worth a try. I'm out of Advil now. I think I'd recommend knee pads; I had none... Read how I did it…

I learne to snowboard when I was 38 ( I think), any I did it by borrowing my friends 11 and 13 year old nephews and taking them to Rabbit Hill to show me the ropes.
They had me up and confident before lunch and feeling confident by the end of the day.
I’m 48 now and there isn’t a hill I wont ride.
It’s my way of surviving and being victorious over the cold of winter.
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d always love to go snowboarding, it just seems like one of these things which I’d love to travel to a cold place full of snow and have fun. I’d have to bring a few people and have a laugh. :)

I love it well, honestly I’ve already gone once before when I was a kid but I really really want to go again…
I have always thought that snowboarding is cool, I have always wanted to go, but I’ve never had a chance to go so I really want to go. It seems so fun.

Love it! Your first time going will be miserable, you will fall endlessly, and probably not want to continue. Get a teacher stick with it for a few times and then stuff just starts clicking. You start connecting turns, going where you want to, maybe go a little faster. Then once you get comfortable you can start putting a little swagger into it and it becomes more expressive as oppose to getting from point a to point b. Then find some powder and enjoy

On Hold Until Snows Thicker in Cali..
I used to go snow skiing every year from age 5 to 19. I also used to surf and skateboard, so snowboarding seems like it would be easy for me.
