In fact, single and double boards have their own characteristics. Single board is easy first and then difficult, and double board is easy first and then difficult. The veneer will fall badly at first, and your knees, hips and wrists will be hurt, so you must prepare protective gear for the first time. After mastering some basic technologies, progress will be faster.
The advantages of single board include: unlike double board, it will not cause great damage to knee joint, including strain and injury. People who slide veneer have less stress on their knees, and generally only hurt their wrists or buttocks; Single-board soft boots are more comfortable to walk and easier to put on and take off than double-board hard boots; It is easier to stand up when the veneer falls, just pat your ass and continue to slide; If the double board falls off, it is difficult to get up from the side, and it is also very troublesome to sort out a pile of odds and ends before going on the road; Above Zita Law, veneer is unlikely to get stuck in the snow.
Weaknesses of veneer: in the wild, the adaptability of veneer is poor, mainly because it can't go up the mountain and walk on the flat ground. When encountering a small uphill, the double board will push up a few feet, and the skater can only climb or take off.
Advantages of double board: it falls less, but it can't be taken lightly because of its high speed. Braking and ploughing are relatively easy to master, but this is only the first step, and the road to improvement is still very difficult and long.
The speed of the double board drops quickly. The learning curve is relatively gentle, and the veneer has requirements for learners' physical quality and fall tolerance, so it is basically impossible not to fall completely. However, the double-board equipment is very bloated, and it is not chic enough to walk on the road or fly in the air.
Therefore, young people prefer single board, and middle-aged and elderly people recommend double board.
In short, for beginners, it is best to ask a coach for guidance first, and at least learn basic braking and turning skills to avoid rushing down the hill directly, which can reduce the chance of injury and avoid detours. For beginners, both single board and double board must wear helmets.
