Literally all those "factors" that this guy listed in the video are just opinion based. He's clearly biased towards snowboarding.
I think that skiiing is better then snowboarding and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but I feel that skiing is way more elegant and more smooth
Can't you just talk about technics, practicity ? I don't care about your "swag" rate 😂
I’m a skier and I think this is not true, I think they are bothe equal
tou just know how to snowboard 🏂 and that’s why you pick it buddy but truth is that you never been skiing ⛷️ SKIING 🎿 IS MILLION TRILLION ZILLION BILLION TIMES BETTER THAN SNOWBOARDING BUDDY NOW LEARN YOUR LESSON AND THINK 💭 MORE 🤗😡🤔
I wanna get good at snowboarding but I can’t find boots that are comfortable enough for me
Idk what you do skiing or snowboarding but this dude was being so bias
cap
ET ME SAY THIS SKING IS MORE EASY TO LEARN HARDER TO MASTER SNOWBOARDING IS HARDER TO LEARN BUT EASYR TO MASTER IF IT DONT MAKE SINCE MB
Some ski resorts have good powder
Sking is better
Buy used, buy older, borrow or rent gear, spend more on critical safety pieces
I don’t agree I am a snowboarder and skier and they are both great and fun
SKIING IS BETTER
Excellent video again mate! I've gotten more and more into filmmaking and love making short films for my channel. Your videos are encouraging me to expand my horizons and do more documentary style work, so thanks for the inspiration 👍
I personnally think that skiing and snowboarding shouldn’t be compared. Yes, they are both sports but I really think that it’s really a controversial question meaning that opinions can be differents as people might think otherwise. Good points though, evaluating the sports with their benefits ect. Great video, keep up the good work!
ski:excludes snowboarding cancels point snowboard: steals culture from ski 0.5 points for both both are bad yet snowboarding technaccly gets 1 point from this exchange
This content is a godsend. Please keep it coming. I'll drop some cash in the Super Thanks here in a bit.
This is really useful as I am always thinking 'I can't use that shot as the focus flickers or the sound isn't perfect' so I stop and think, well I need to reshoot that in 2 weeks time when I get away. Forget perfection and go for real story - I'm finding your lessons so valuable - Thank you
Awesome stuff!
Sking is better than snowboarding because sking is easy to learn for some people and a nother reason sking is better because when you go down a hill you get to go fast and It's fun going fast
I personally prefer skiing because it comes more natural to me and there are more areas you can ski. When skiing you can maneuver in back areas more. Also it’s more common to get ski gear
you are right you are thinking 💭 and this man isn’t ❤🎉😊
You snowboard glazer.
Which gimbal did you shoot this with?
Well I’m a ski racer so I’m biased
We all know he’s a snow boarder
Fr
Are you have an autofocus or you do it manually while skiing?
Tip for making it cheaper: compare it to downhill mountain biking!
Bro is definitely just someone who likes snowboarding more. As a skier here is a list of everything I prefer about skiing that snowboarding: -fast moguls -fast glades -fast(er) catwalks -faster reaction time *FAST*
True
Bro, snowboarding is 100% better
I disagree
Hey I’m not old I’m 11 and I skii so if young or old you can skii
Currently you are favorite content creator. So, take joy in knowing that on a microscale you are beating out Peter Mckinnon and slaying Mr Big. Great content. I do appreciate the content as it is applicable to my current career stage, and you non-condescending positivity is a plus.
Skiing is way better
keep it up, awesome job!
Bull shit he is glazing
Snowboarding is not counterculture. Give me a break.
Super helpful content ❤
Your content is awesome, just some more time until you get some recognition. All the best❤
Love your content! Congrats and thank you for sharing it
this video was amazing, more power to you for the future, as a adventure filmmaker myself, I could relate to almost everythting in this video.
Actually it's ✨ opinions✨
gung
I’m a skier and I got hit by a snowboarder when I was 5 so skiing is better 😂
Same thing happened to me
When the slopes are flat and easy, i prefer snowboarding, when it's steep and icy i prefer skiing.
I don’t think you understand how to compare this
It’s almost like this guys snowboards
Snowboarding is better
Ahhhhhhhh
Snowboarding
