It is no secret that in recent years interest in wintersports in the younger generation doubled. And for this is to thank the snowboards, which most recently came with Western culture. However, not everyone knows that choosing a snowboard is not an easy task. You need some understanding to stop your view on the only possible means for riding.
Most importantly, according to the already experienced "bordists",start with the selection of quality shoes. Truth in this statement is, because you can not correctly learn to ride on the board, while the leg will be in a free position.
The choice of boots for snowboarding takes place by twocharacteristics: at a price, because the understated value indicates a questionable quality, and the fabric boot, on which comfortable riding depends. Do not stare at leather products, they quickly deform, although more quality. More popular synthetic materials, which have good protection against moisture, which does not lead to discomfort after two hours of skiing. But their reliability may be better - a couple of seasons, no more.
Есть сапожки с термоподгонкой, которые облегают foot after a special warm-up about 90 degrees. This function can be used up to several times, until the foot is comfortable. It is important to remember that one should not go out in hot shoes on the street, they can quickly lose their qualities. The main rule in choosing such shoes is compliance with all warranty requirements.
The choice of snowboarding is not just about buying quality "boots", but fixing is equally important in this matter. In the end, after all, they are responsible for the reliability and safety of the descent.
First of all fastenings are selected under shoes,so that she sat tight, without excess traffic. It should be for you to choose exactly the type of hitch that is most suitable. Or, it will be the mounts with the body, where a small saving in the rigidity of the boot material is allowed, or it will be a step-in system - just put your foot on the "board" and click the lock. The second option is more convenient, but more dangerous, because these fastenings are not very reliable, and with a strong impact, the leg can simply fly out.
When the shoes, suit and all accessories are selected,It is necessary to decide on the "board." It is important, when the choice of snowboarding is already inevitable, remember the observance of sizes and growth. You can not take a man whose height exceeds 180 centimeters, "board" by 150 centimeters.
Such things in all sports shops are usually commensurable, but it is not superfluous to know a few basic rules.
Snowboards fall into three categories:freeride - mainly for skiing on deep snow with frequent visits to ski resorts; Freestyle - for more experienced "riders", involves skating with various tricks and jumps; allmountain is a universal board for beginners.
The following is a choice of a snowboard size, where the growthand the weight of the athlete determine the size of his future "board". The main thing in this moment, of course, is that the size of the snowboard in no case should not exceed the size of a person, as well as weight. With abundant forms and low growth, most likely, the "board" will be impossible to pick up.
