We have all seen the extreme videos they show on TV.  You know, the ones where the snowboarding tricks seem to be almost impossible to accomplish.  Of course, these people are all professionals, but you can learn some of these snowboarding tricks too.  You can take a few lessons from a pro or rent a video. Then practice, practice, practice your snowboard tricks.

Some of the most popular snowboarding tricks for beginners are: Riding Fakie, Catching Air, Tip Rolls, Wheelies, Grabs and Spins.  To some snowboarders these tricks may seem very basic, but it is necessary to learn them before progressing to the more difficult snowboard tricks.
