Knowing your limits Once you can control your turns, steer, and stop, you can really start to enjoy mountains. But know the limit of your skills and stick to marked runs appropriate for your level of experience. Don't be tempted to try the difficult runs yet, or go off the marked routes. Take your time When turning don't rush to change onto the new edge but allow the board time to slide around. Once you get better at snowboarding, you may want to challenge yourself by trying some of the many different snowboarding activities.
People turn along the fall line in the centre of the pipe, going from edge to edge.
As they lift over an edge, snowboarders do various tricks, like rotating and flipping. Boarders are rated by judges. The harder a trick is and the better it's done, the higher the score will be. Alpine Like skiing, snowboarding has gate-running events, called slalom and giant slalom, where snowboarders go down a curvy course, through many sets of gates. People are disqualified if they miss gates or go off the course.
