boots do matter, but for beggining, just get something cheap and comfy. and every company has something good, except for fisjer, they are just uglyy

There is not any real technique. To progress you are going to get hurt. It happens. Dont worry about looking like a "noob".

Go to your shop and buy boots. They know about 10 times more than we do and can do about 1000 times more than what we can do.

just have some fun. once you get comfortable try and hit some stuff, you'll prolly fall and look retarded, but then your gonna be like wow i gotta redeem myself. then you hit whatever it was again and fucking nail it with steez. then your like "that was sweet, i wanna do it again".

Don't just go to your shop. Go to a boot specific shop. In my experience, it's way better.

don't worry about looking completely retarded... my best trick is the explosion. i work on it all the time. basically, do anything in the air you want, and then explode on impact with the landing. it's best if you can figure out a way to send a ski flying through the air or something and end up sliding downhill feet-first so the cuffs on your pants end up around your knees and all the buckles on your boots end up wide open. oh, and if your goggles don't find a way to wind up covering your mouth and nose, you need to keep working on it.
