Do you want to learn how to snowboard really really well? GREAT! You've probably heard about this site and are ready to push your riding to the next level. I'm sure you've seen a lot of trick tips and articles out there that do very little to help your riding. As you continue to read on you are about to learn a totally revolutionary "learn to snowboard system."

We are Matt Belair and Neville Lapwood, two of Canada's top professional freestyle coaches. Our chosen location is Whistler, British Columbia Canada, the snowboard mecca of the world and home to some of the best pro's, coaches and parks on earth!

"Ever since I started snowboarding 9 years ago I've been obsessed with learning how to do all the crazy snowboard tricks pro's can do. As a result of many years of trial and error, I can now do almost all those tricks you see in video's but that's just the tip of the iceberg because you're about to learn how to do all those tricks, faster, easier, and better than I did!"

"Before I met Matt Belair, I had reached a peak in my professional snowboarding career, where I struggled to progress. I truly believe the information and techniques you will learn in SnowboardAcademy.com will help you break through any barriers no matter what your snowboarding ability. The new goal I have is to share my new found knowledge with as many fellow shredders as possible! Enjoy."

After our combined 22 years of riding experience, we finally discovered the secrets that all pro riders and snowboard phenoms have in common. There is a secret formula, a system any rider can follow that will cause them to be empowered with the knowledge and skill of the pro's!

You see the problem is learning freestyle snowboard tricks is hard, dangerous, expensive, and worst of all, no one really knows how to teach freestyle riding. I looked online for trick tips, but they never really helped all that much, I went and took lessons with instructors however they seemed to be far less knowledgeable than myself. So finally I went to a freestyle snowboard camp and even then I was constantly being taught only trick tips, it was so frustrating.

Maybe the answer was becoming an instructor? I became a certified instructor and worked at Canada Olympic Park but even that didn't help my riding. Then I moved to Whistler, and surely here I'd learn some great freestyle know how. This is where I met Nev Lapwood. He was the trainer at a park and pipe course that I attended. I was astounded with his knowledge of snowboarding methodology and training techniques. This is were the SnowboardAcademy.com partnership was born.

To my surprise Canada Olympic Park and Whistler Blackcomb only had one or two coaches between them that could actually give a quality freestyle lesson. Even then I felt something was missing. After much research a system was founded and tested on all the freestyle riders that dare take a lesson with me. The formula was a huge success and riders began killing it very quickly.

Imagine for a second you could teach yourself a 360 one day after you learned a 180. Then instantly a week later you teach yourself a 540 and look good doing it! What would it be like to be the best on your local hill and have all your friends wonder how the hell you got so good so fast? If you want to know the secrets of learning how to snowboard like the pro's, it's in the formula that you cannot find anywhere else but SnowboardAcademy.com!

The formula is:
Focused Training:
Understanding the fundamentals of the trick written and verbally combining dry-land and on hill drills specifically designed for each trick.

Physical Training:
Learning easy and effective workouts/exercises that will instantly explode your balance, pop, and style.

Mental Training:
By far the most overlooked aspect of snowboarding that almost no one else in the world teaches. Fortunately for you your about to fill a huge hole in your snowboard game and this is the only place you can learn it at a reasonable price.
Buy integrating these 3 key parts into your training you will be unstoppable.

You might be asking yourself, how exactly do I use this system and why is it different from regular coaching? You could easily come to Whistler and take a private lesson with the snowboard school, paying $600/day getting half decent coaching. You'd probably get a little better but if you applied the 3 steps of SnowboardAcademy.com training camp, you'd gain all the tools you need to continuously coach yourself at a fraction of the cost.

? simple
? effective
? works for every rider every time
? literally programming the tricks into your body

Simon had a goal of learning a
360 by the end of the season
"It was the middle of the season and I wasn't sure I was quite ready to learn 360's yet, I told Matt my goal was to land one by the end of the season. He said how about learning one right now. I was skeptical because I am not the greatest rider but after only 3 runs I landed my first 360! I couldn't believe how easy it was when you apply the 3 parts of his training method."

"I rode with Matt and Nev in Whistler 2006/2007. They helped my freestyle riding progress more than any other coaches I have ever learned from. The best part is I can continually use these techniques and now include these powerful tools in my lessons. The SnowboardAcademy.com program is far more valuable than taking a private lesson."
