But what if through some miracle of chemistry or internet dating, you&#8217;ve found &#8220;the one.&#8221; The only problem? He\/she doesn&#8217;t snowboard. Trust us, this will lead to nothing but heartbreak and Christmas-powder-day guilt if you just let them remain a non-shredding member of society. But who the hell really wants to teach someone to snowboard? No matter how much you love them. Never fret formerly-single person: we&#8217;re here to help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Get them a lesson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/instrucotr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57848\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/instrucotr.jpg\" alt=\"instrucotr\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seriously, let someone else spend that miserable first day of falling with your partner. Maybe the &#8220;pros&#8221; will even be able to prevent them from breaking any bones, a sure fire way to lose them from the start. If they refuse, leave them alone for the first two days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Slow Down<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/magiccarpet.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57849\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/magiccarpet.jpg\" alt=\"magiccarpet\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once they&#8217;ve mastered their J-turns and garlands, it&#8217;s time to take them out and show them what real snowboarding is all about, right? Not so fast there, Charlie. Unless they&#8217;re a snowboard wunderkind you&#8217;ll probably have to spend the next few times snowboard waiting for them and giving them pointers. It&#8217;s ok, it will all be worth it someday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Tell your friends to fuck off.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Onhillmakeupfriends.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57831\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Onhillmakeupfriends.jpg\" alt=\"Onhillmakeupfriends\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re not just useless to you on a powder day, your friends will also not be helpful while trying to get someone hooked on snowboarding. But! I love my friends, you might say. Newsflash: your significant other probably doesn&#8217;t love them as much as you, and their zany antics will only serve to be annoying while he\/she is trying to learn. Once your partner is at a moderate-intermediate level, you can then let snowboarding be the proof that you buddies aren&#8217;t all drunken buffoons (warning, it may not work.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Take them on the stuff they like.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/onhillgowheretheywant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57845\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/onhillgowheretheywant.jpg\" alt=\"onhillgowheretheywant\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember, different people like different kinds of snowboarding, and until they&#8217;re hooked, you want to make it as pleasurable as possible. So, even though &#8220;the trail isn&#8217;t that steep,&#8221; don&#8217;t make your girlfriend\/boyfriend ride through the park so you can hit the boxes. They will thank you, and so will other people who&#8217;s way they&#8217;re not in. Make it your goal to make sure she\/he is having a good time. We promise, a few days of sacrifice and compromise won&#8217;t kill you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Remember, they don&#8217;t love snowboarding, yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people will love snowboarding right away &#8212; just being outside, hanging out with friends, getting exercise &#8212; but many &#8220;normal&#8221; people will find something to hate. It hurts, it&#8217;s cold, they&#8217;re bad at it, whatever. All of these things pass with time, but it&#8217;s going to take patience to get there. Be understanding when they want to quit after an hour, or at least buy them a drink while you take a few more runs.<\/p>\n<p>In time, the bug will be caught (how could it not be) and you&#8217;ll have a perfectly-trained riding buddy in addition to a loving life partner. And what could possibly be better than that?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/onhilllastimg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57850\" src=\"https:\/\/yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/onhilllastimg.jpg\" alt=\"onhilllastimg\" width=\"640\" height=\"304\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The couple that shreds together, stays together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[2251,2194],"tags":[2280,2281,2282,2283,2284],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57186"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57186"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91457,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57186\/revisions\/91457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brookegeery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
