![]() “I am just a beginner and not so sure do I like snowboarding yet, do I still need to get the protection gear?” ![]() Trust me, you do really want to get yourself some protection with this speed.īy the way, the world record of the fastest snowboarder is Edmond Plazczyk from Swiss, with a speed of 203 kph (126 mph) in hard boots at Vars in April 2013!Īlright so maybe you are not a speed lover but a freestyle rider? Fascinated with jumps and kickers… then you surely want to gear up yourself. 45-55 km per hour (about 30-35 miles per hour) is nothing uncommon! Let me tell you a piece of very exciting news - you can go really fast with your board when you are very good at your riding. And do keep in mind that protection gears are not for beginners only, you should always wear your protection gears even you are improving well. Just do as much as you can to protect yourself from injuries. I didn’t get the back protector until I started to do the jumps but you really should get yourself a full set of helmet, wrist guard, knee pads, hip pads, and your base layer before buying your boots, goggles, jackets, pants or maybe your snowboard. ![]() Buy a helmet first, then followed with wrist guard, knee pads, hip pads or butt pads, well, maybe a back protector too! So yes, please, get yourself a set of protective gear before your first snowboarding day. Nothing is fun anymore if you are injured. Snowboarding is all about having fun, do keep in mind that you gotta be able to have some fun first.
