FAST Snowboarding – I'll take slow first please.
The mission of the First Alpine Snowboard Team is to guide alpine snowboard athletes in achieving their maximum potential in training and competition, and to further identify and develop World and Olympic Champions of the future.Where were these guys when I was trying to learn to snowboard?
Beginning with a core belief in each athletes ability to reach their fullest potential, we provide the knowledge and tools necessary to fulfill your individual training needs on your road to becoming a Champion. We build your core belief by practicing the following fundamentals; - Positive attitude - Sound physical conditioning - Solid snowboarding technique - Proper equipment selection & set-up - Proper equipment preparation - Appropriate tactical approachJeesh. On second thought they sound really hardcore. Tactical approach? I would like to be able to stand up on the board, please. Maybe that doesn't show Olympic potential, I will grant you that. The program is run by Chris Karol and Srdjan Pantic. Hey guys! Say hello to Utah for me.
