Beginner In Snowboarding: Help!

The first time I ever did snowboarding was during last spring break. It was really fun, and painful, but I don't feel like I learned anything. I've had three lessons so far. I still can't do trails! I can just make it down the bunny slopes. My toe edge always digs into the ground when I go down and I fall flat on my face! Does anyone have any tips on how to improve myself? I really need them. I also want to know how to look "decent" when I board. How should I wear my hair and what pants/jacket should I wear? I hope some of you can help me! Thanks so much! ~Amanda

If your boots dig into the ground when you carve buy a wider board. As long as you don't look like a skier that is still wearing fluorescant colours you're alright.

Hey don't worry about it... I have been riding for this last season ( it s that i worked at a snowboard hill) but ya I had friends there to me... Do u have any snowboard friends that are good?? I had like 4 or 5 and they MADE me get good fast. . I had been riding for like an hour and they took me down the black diamond.. I didn't want to go but as my last buddy passed me he pushed me and needless to say i got good quick. . So what I am sayin is I am good but only because I had snowboard friends so if u don't got any find some ok.. U can learn easier with good snowboarders ok??
