Getting the personal
attention of a sponsored snowboard coach is great!
A sponsored coach can
break down tricks into small, step-by-step components, so that you learn
difficult skills with relative ease... and so... you learn quickly.
Of course the problem
is:
- A sponsored rider is
very difficult to find (these guys are RARE, they spend most of their time
RIDING not TEACHING.)
- Their time costs a
small fortune (it is not unusual to pay over $1000 per day for a pro-riders
guidance.)
- They are very busy
(as you can imagine, all their time is taken up with: photo shoots,
competitions, travel and other training engagements.)
In fact, the only people
that really have access to pro-riders are the companies that sponsor them!
Which is why it is
incredible that when I called up world renowned snowboard coach and sponsored
pro-rider Anthony Crute - he agreed to let me interview him and spill the beans
on all of his most secret training techniques and strategies he has personally
developed over the past 8 years of training and riding.
No longer will you
"dread" riding. No longer will you be embarrassed in front of your friends due
to your fear of doing tricks -- because from now on...
YOU’LL NEVER WONDER HOW
TO SNOWBOARD AGAIN!!!
You’ll begin to land so
many tricks, you’ll get BORED! (Okay, so it won’t be boring. But you can "fake
it" for your friends, just to rub it in.)
Like I just said, your
friends will HATE you. But if you’re like me, you’ll get over it.
Then you’ll start riding
at a whole new level. Having more fun than you ever imagined.
And maybe -- just maybe
-- you’ll tell your friends about Anthony's Interview. After all, they’re not
such bad guys. They just don’t know how to ride like you!

Snowboards come in several different styles, depending on the
type of riding intended:
Racing/Alpine: long, narrow, rigid, and directional shape. Best during
machine groomed slopes. Most often ridden with a "hard" boot, but also ridden
recreationally with soft boots, particularly by riders in Europe.
Free ride: longer in length, and semi-directional. Used for fast-big-turn type
of snowboarding.
Freestyle: Rigid, average in length, light, twin-directional, deep side cuts.
Used in pipe and park.
Freestyle (rails): flexible and short, twin-directional, wider stance, filed
down metal edges. Used for skateboard-like snow parks.
All-Mountain: A hybrid between free ride and freestyle board. All purpose board.
Swallow-Tail: Generally a wider board that has a split running down its tail.
The split tail is designed to sink the tail lower than the nose. This is
preferred in powder/backcountry conditions. This is a nice board for use in
powder.
Split: Not to be confused with the swallow-tail, the split board consists of a
stable powder board that can be broken down into two touring skis, used when
hiking in deep backcountry conditions.
Fish Shape: A shorter, wider board with a tapered tail designed to eliminate leg
fatigue in deep powder
Magne-Traction: The edges of the board have a wavy side cut, with seven contact
points. If the outer two contact points lose grip then the inner contact points
can take over, allowing better control and edge hold, even on ice. The Magne-Traction
also allows the edges turn ice back into snow.
