how quickly did you learn?

hi i have never done this before never seen a snowboard up close but always wanted to do it but never had the nervous or money to try but there is a dry sky slope witch will teach me but still a tad scared

that seams like a normal learning time to me... the more you board and try and push your skills your will end up on your a*s alot so get used to it!!! PeAcE

i learnt to snowboard comfortably within one week of lessons bye the end of the week i was diong tail grabs and 180s and then the second week i went i was put in the advanced group now i have been about 6 times and i can get down most off peast slopes without falling allthough offpeast really kills your ankles and feet

I have larned after 4 days of riding with the instructor. he showed all the proper ways of riding so I won't get hurt. It's a lot of fun and I love it

I have just come back from NZ and I was still crashing after nearly 10 years on snowboards. Crashing just means you are pushing your own limits. Go for it!! You might find it takes only a few days, especially if you skate as well.

well it took me about a month of going to my ski resort every Saturday, but i got pretty good and riding with other good people will help you learn

i will learn in 5 minutes which is only quickest time of mine

You sound about normal for learning time. He might just be saying that to make you feel good. :)

It's been a while since I first learned to snowboard, but I think that it took me a few years (I only go 1-3 times a year) before I got REALLY comfortable, but I think I learned at about the same rate as you initially. My good friend, who is extremely athletic and learns any athletic thing quickly, learned to link turns within a day!
