yep, a helmet is a must. the initial learning curve on a board is harder, but the rewards are greater. i taught a couple of friends to board last year. in three days we were doing the intermediate runs together. you just have to remember that short of hard carving, boarding is mainly a controlled slide. i taught them by having them slide sideways all the way down the bunny run, one edge per run. then i had them start stringing slides together.

i'll be at brighton tomorrow. and tuesday.
