How Do I Not Fall Off Lifts?

I'm intermediate snowboarder and I still fall getting off the lifts almost every time. I really need help. What do I need to do to not fall? I know I should get a stomp pad, but how much of that will help? Thanks.

    Believe me, a stomp pad will make your life so much easier getting on and off the lifts. I've actually been snowboarding for 6 years and actually last month I fell off the lift and i was with my friends and (they all have stomp pads) they were just cracking up. So when we went in for lunch i made a point of stopping in the sports store and for the rest of the day it felt as though i had in proved 110%.

    Not only does it help you get off the lift without falling, but it also gets you out of there quicker because when you put your boot down on it, it seems like it sucks to the sole and it has amazing traction.

    Also, if you have the right style of board it might make your board look nicer/cooler depending on what shape of stomp pad you get. (i got a 4 leaf clover one).

    So my final opinon is to most defiantly get a stomp pad, it will make your life a lot easier.

    first of all, you need to make sure you are leaning forward. Then, you need to put lots of pressure against your back binding and make sure your board is level with the ground, if not thats a garunteed pancake. A stomp will help more with skating but it will also make it easier to keep pressure on your rear binding. Make sure u stand up right when u get to the cone or when ever the peole tell u to

    hope this helps

    The stomp pad is a great idea, the only other thing, is you can get K2 Clicker booys and bindings, some people like em and others don't. I Love em. easy in easy out, u can click in on the lift to.
