The right way to snowboard?

wow u actually counted how many times u fell :S ... naw you can do that to get down if you arent gona hardly ever go but if you wanna actually get good at it your gonna have to let go and just learn to go back n forth from heels to toes and so on. Its like learning to swim. You can always hold onto the side just to stay alive n the deep end if you dont plan on making a career out of it but u sure wont look cool or ever look forward to going swimming. Or you can let go learn and maybe suck in a little water (catch 23 more edges) and get the hang of it and actually look forward to snowboarding.. Just my opinion.. and you need some lessons.. Its not too bad if you take it slow n work on your s turns n j turns.
