So, you've decided to learn how to do some really neat snowboarding tricks? That is a wise decision. You can look really cool in front of your friends, show off your stuff, and maybe even gain a fan club. Okay, well maybe you won't get a fan club, but you will look really cool.

Before you go out there and actually start attempting anything that can be potentially dangerous, do your research and spend some time with more experienced boarders. However, there are some serious Don'ts that you should learn about as well. Here are some of the most important.

Don't:

Get boots that are too tight on your feet. When you try the boots on, they should feel comfortable. A lot of people think that if they hurt a little, it's okay because you will break them in. No. You want your feet to be secure, but not to the point that you feel they are in a vice.

Buy a long board to learn with. Don't buy an expensive board to start with, you want to get a cheap board so you can mess it up during all your learning mistakes without too much worry.You are, after all, just starting out. Purchasing a long board or a really expensive one isn't a good idea.

Be embarrassed if you fall. Big deal. Have you realized how many times pro snowboarders like Sean White has taken a tumble or two? Tons. Everyone falls, it is just something you have to go through if you are going to become really good at any snowboard trick.

Try advanced snowboarding tricks too quickly. Begin with the simple ones. The big ones will come later.

Practice alone. Always have a group of buddies with you when you're practicing your tricks in case you seriously hurt yourself. It has happened to many people in the past and it will in the future. At the very least, always take a buddy with you.

Alright, well that was enough for today. Now you can go out there and start practicing those sweet snowboarding tricks!
