      I'm new to snowboarding and got into it primarily because I am always blown away by the tricks they pull off.  AS a newbie, what should I be doing / learning first?  I'd love to be able to someday pull off some of the snowboard tricks in this video

        Hi loulouxx88!Welcome to the site first of all!As far as starting out a freestyle career, the first thing you should learn is the fundamentals. Boring I know, but if you can lock in riding switch for a reasonable distance, and your basic ollie, it will make life easier for you in the long run. If you can ride switch for 4-5 linked turns, that will set you up great for 180's. You should be able to ride away clean from one of the easiest spin tricks in snowboarding. And ollie, you'll use that on almost every trick you learn from this point on.Try using an ollie to jump cracks, dips, drops, etc on your local resort. Anything you can find to jump over, ollie over. There are plenty of tips on youtube on the ollie, I can't even sort them out. Almost every one of them are right, you just need to find the technique that works for you. After you learn the ollie on flat

          That's great advice Travis!  Also I hear people say “Know your limits, but always push them.”
