go to your local mountain. start hitting features. you may feel like your getting no where at first but it'll turn around.

The Burton Progression Parks are great places to start out and try new park features. They have ride-on rails and boxes that are low to the ground so you can learn to line up and hit features without worrying too much about taking a big spill. My daughter and I have ridden in a couple of them and they real confidence builders.
