liftie Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'll be the first to admit that I suck. I can land my 180s, but not so much on the 360s and yeah... the rest is pretty bad too. Sadly, I'm too old to go to a camp. I wish I went to those when I was younger instead of getting shipped to whatever college won soccer titles... But anyways! Where/How can I improve before the start of next season? Is there a summer sport that will also help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarrisburg Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Sadly, I'm too old to go to a camp. Hogwash. High Cascade offers camps for adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liftie Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 ok... i'm a self-supportive college student on a budget... anymore ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevePSSC Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 well for rails and balance.. i know many people get a box or a rail and in the summer just strap in next to it and jump on.. practice jumping on boardslide and keeping balance and frontside boardslide.. you should then have the side to side balance down and will just have to work on your balance while moving on a rail/box when you get the chance.. and oh boxes are alot easier to learn things on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluv2ride Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 if you cant afford a balance board fill a 2 liter bottle completely full of water and use and old skateboard deck its pretty fun u can practice spinning 270s off it, and all kinds of other stuff if you have some money to blow check out www.freebord.com these boards give you the feel of snowboarding on the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
