Snowboard Terms Basics and Snowboarding How To’s Just Released

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 17, 2009 -
Snowboarding Zone has just released a new section of their website that has all of the basics on Snowboard Terms. This is part of a new community website that is all about Snowboard Terms. Members and non-members can visit this Snowboard Terms page on the Snowboarding Zone website for free at: http://snowboardingzone.org/.

Here is an excerpt from the new Snowboard Terms information webpage:

"So, you want to get into snowboarding, but you don’t know the “lingo” so that you can keep up with all of your friends.  Well, here is a list of terms that you will want to know so that you too can talk snowboarding.
•   Backside:  the side of the skateboard where your heels are.  When referring to the backside, it means to the back of the snowboarder, as in having to look over your shoulder.
•   Baseless Bindings:  Your feet will actually be set the snowboard; there are no metal base plates to set your feet on.
•   Blindside:  Basically the backside.  The side of the snowboarder that is “blind” to them.  Again, having to look over your shoulder.
•   Bonk:  This is where you hit an object with your snowboard as in bumping it and then continuing on with the course.
•   Boost:  Catching air with a jump.
•   Bust:  Slang for “to do” as in, “check him out, busting out this trick.”
•   Camber:  The space, when the snowboard is lying flat on the surface, that is located between the ground and the front and back parts of the snowboard.
•   Cant:  the angle at which your feet are pointing. It could be either duck footed or pigeon toed.  This determines how your knees will be bent.
•   Chatter:  The vibration of the snowboard when riding, usually resulting from high speeds, tight turns or icy conditions."
