Basic Snowboarding rules are written to safeguard snowboarders and other riders. Since there is a high possibility of injuries that can take place, the rules are mostly common sense and aim to keep the rider and others safe on the mountains.

1. Most important rule that everyone needs to follow is to know one's abilities and keep away from risky snowboarding stunts.

2. A snowboarder has to remember to stay out of the way of other snowboarders at all times.

3. When sloping down from a higher slope an area where other skiers or boarders are present, it is important that one alarm the others below to make way and stop others from riding, since the speed of the person riding from the top is higher than the one below. This avoids collisions and avoids injuries.

The intent of the rules and regulations are to create a friendly, competitive, fair and fun atmosphere for the competitors. All false starts are considered as disqualifications. The rules also specify that participants wear back protection to safeguard their spines in crashes. Detailed style specific rules and regulations vary from style to style and even vary in different competitions.
