5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginner Homework, December 5, 2005

By	Paul Charlesworth (Houghton, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a beginner I was looking for books and DVD's to supplement my lessons. This DVD makes everything seem so easy and clear. I was able to follow the tips and improve somewhat by watching and trying.

I would agree with the previous reviewer that by using an instructor as the student, the DVD does make learning seem a lot easier than it really is. For me, moving around on the board when not riding the board is one of the most challenging things. I find it extremely difficult to skate and move around with one foot tied perpendicular to the direction you want to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner video, September 19, 2005

By	Patrick P. P. Pfledderer (IN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this DVD because I had never been snowboarding before. I just wanted something that would tell me what to do, and what to expect. I didn't want to become an expert overnight, I just didn't want to fall on my butt getting off of the lift!

This video was perfect! It was simple and straight forward, without a lot of tricks and complicated stuff. The indoor training was a great idea, because it was nice to feel what a snowboard feels like before you get up on a snowy mountainside!

A great video!! A+

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite worth the price, April 22, 2007

By	P. Chongstitwattana (Sanfrancisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this DVD together with Fresh start snowboarding DVD. I have to say I like the other one a lot more.

The information provided in this DVD isn't too bad, but too short for it's price. It follows a first time snowboarding student through her lessons. The first few chapters are really nice explaining how to choose your snowboard for the first time.

But when it gets to the actual snowboarding technique, this is where it falls short. You get to hear what the teacher briefly and shortly teaches the student. Then it shows the teacher does it once, and shows the student does it onces. Repeat that for every technique.

This can be a nice overview for first time snowboarder I guess. But still, with this amount of information, it's not worth the price. You can find free lessons online with even more information than this DVD with even longer explanation.

I highly recommend the Fresh Start Snowboarding DVD and the tutorial at abc-of-snowboarding over this one.
