About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure
when exposed to certain visual images, including  ashing lights
or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people
who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an
undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive
epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking
or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or
momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss
of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you
experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch
for or ask their children about the above symptoms—
children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be
reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using
a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and
not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or
epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Other Important Health and Safety Information

The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and
safety information that you should read and understand
before using this software.

Avoid Damage to Your Television

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions,

especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged
if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on
them. Static images presented during the normal course
of gameplay may “burn in” to the screen, causing a
permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all
times, even when video games are not being played.
Similar damage may occur from static images created
when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult
your television owner’s manual to determine if video
games can be played safely on your set. If you are
unable to  nd this information in the owner’s manual,
contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to
determine if video games can be played safely on
your set.

COLD FRONT

For some people who learn to ride,
the infection’s immediate. You’re
daydreaming about powder at work, at
school; always freaking for your next
day on the hill. You go up two days a
week, then three, and then you take
the leap and move to the mountains
so you can ride non-stop.

You’re on the  rst chair in the morning,
and everyone who sees that single
track in the fresh knows who made
it. You don’t stop for lunch, don’t take
your cell, and you’re knocking tricks
off the “must learn” list like a champ.
You’re driven—committed. The path is
clear: you’re going pro.

But be ready for harsh times. You’ll
travel all year, chasing the snow to
Switzerland, Australia; to every frozen
corner of the globe. You’ll live out of
bags and crave a home-cooked meal.
You won’t see your friends and family
for months at a time.

But you do it, because it’s what you
love. It’s what gets you out of bed in
the morning and  lls your dreams at
night. If you’ve got what it takes—
courage, style, aerial calm, and legs of
steel—you just might make it.

... If you don’t end up in traction  rst.

The available classes are:

Basic Riding

Jumping

Spins and Flips

Grabs

Rails

Style

Combos

Tutorials

The Riding School tutorials are set high above the treeline
on Oregon’s Mt. Hood. These short lessons are designed
to teach beginners the fundamentals of snowboarding in
seven easy classes!

To go to Riding School, select Tutorials from the
Main Menu and then pick which class you want to
take. There are seven classes in all, and each has
a lesson and a practice portion.
