this thread isn't for making fun of other noobs... its for making fun of yourself when you were a noob. how was your first rail? first attempt at a spin? any one piece suits? put it all here... just share all of your noobish stories with the NS community.

yesterday i was starting to learn how to snowboard, because instructors that ski and snowboard get paid better, and i unsnapped my binding just to realize that my foot was on a 6 inch tether

haha i was learning how to ski and i didnt know how to stop or turn so i kinda flew straight down the mountain and i tried to fall down to stop but i ended up sitting on my skis, i slid under this fence and right out of the resort and they wouldnt let me back for a while and then someone told them what happened and they wouldnt let me come in anyways because i was out of control

i remember my friend told me that rails were "so slippery" and i would slip back instantly. I took this to heart, and i remember that most of my first falls involved me falling forwards and landing with my chest on the rail.

it took me a good few months to finally realize what "pm" meant. and for skiing. My first t-bar expedition was horrific. i had never ridden one, was really nervous, so as soon as i got the bar, i just sat down with all my weight. but the string is elastic so i just fell straight to the ground, then it like pulled me. They had to stop the lift, then i hadda do the awkward jump with my skis on for like a minute to try and reach the T-bar that was like 6in out of reach. Then someone in line was like "just let it pull out up," and i awkwardly made it up the hill. It was awesome.

ohh, actually I was a noob for a few minutes.

My first rail was 4 or so feet high with a 2 or so foot gap between the jump and the rail. I hit it, slipped off, landed with my pole planted in the ground, face on the top of the pole, lotsa blood.

i started out on snowblades cause i thought that they were the shit back in the day. after one season of embarassment i switched to skis, learned how to slide rails on an 8 ft mailbox and landed the first 3 i ever tried, thanks to my awesome experience on blades
