Easy or not, that depends on you. Some learnd it fast, some will never. If you want to start take a course, a 2 day course is a good idea. If you rent the equipment ask some boarder to help you. I think nobody likes to go down backwards as a beginner. It is not funny if you don't see were are you boarding to. In the first lessen you will learn how to go down forward (riding on the *backside*). -- Satisfy your thirst for life! NP: Mittermeier vs. Guano Babes - Kumba Yo! |

In the first lessen you will learn how to go down forward (riding on the *backside*). That is true, although I think I heard somewhere that riding your board fakie (that is backwards) once in a while helps you straightening your body as it will keep you from rotating your upper body too far to the left(regular) or to the right(goofy). That rotation above the hip is (in my opinion) one most common problems for a beginner (especially if their feet are perpendicular to their board - 0 0). So *I* think even newbies should try going backwards as soon as they mastered going forward :-) Simon |
