Hi my name is Matt Vansteenis, and on behalf of Expert Village we are going to learn how
to snowboard today at Cannonsburg Ski Resort in beautiful Grand Rapids, Michigan. Alright
in this segment we are going to talk about bailing. The proper way to fall. I guess there
really is not an actual proper way to fall, except for, you kind of do not want to fall
and have your arm sticking in the snow and have the rest of your body moving. And you
do not really want to fall on your face, or head, so basically, if you fall, kind of try
to keep your arms in or if you need to, keep them out to stop you, and cover your face
and head. So when you fall like, on your hands, you definitely do not want to fall and punch
your hands into the snow, you want to kind of be like nice and limber, you never want
to fall and break your wrists. So you can usually get wrist guards that go underneath
your gloves, which will help you out. If need be. Helmet, to cover your head, and you can
get a whole wide array of other pads to go underneath all of your gear. So yes, when
you fall, be limber, nice and mellow, and just try to stay calm, that is the number
one thing.
