slalom

[dbrsb]

I was thinking of trying a slalom race course but have been intidated by the tight gates and quick edge changes and hitting the poles. They do not have snowboarding gates. Any suggestions about how to successfully naviage a slalom course?

Thanks

Armor is awesome. Wear a helmet, full arm pads, shoulder pads, back pad, hip pads and shin pads. You'll be fine. I do it all the time. Most importand is a pad for your leading forearm.

If you don't want armor, then just make wide turns around the gates (not very fast or practical).
