Balance Boards...

[awf170]

Any snowboarders out there use one. I had one for a few years and love, I pretty much use it every time I go into my bedroom. I cant do any tricks like an ollie or anything and never really cared to try, but i still think they are really cool. Also do they actually help with your snowboarding at all?

I would post a few videos are me using it but my stupid camera or usb chord and computer hook up want work(not sure what the problem is)

Oh definately. They help so much. Being a skateboarder too, I can ollie them.

How do you land back in that groove, must be insanly hard

First master the skateboard ollie. Then once you can do that without moving any direction, take it to the balance board.

I didn't know what you two were talking about so I googled balance boards. I found this one that looks good for skiiers:

And these looked real cool and good for riders:

Although I ski, the latter picture looks like more fun. (Maybe it's the pretty girl demonstrating it)
