So many memories, I used to go to Rusutsu every year with my wife before we had kids. Almost saw sasa bush when I went; though you have powder, overall levels are low. My tips: Watch better riders and try to emulate them. In powder don't put your weight too much in the back because you'll lose control, or your can also set your bindings back a bit to avoid submarining. Not in powder, I like to have my weight a bit more in front for a more aggressive freeride.
Practice practice practice...then find some spots that are just outside your comfort zone...not out of your league...just a toe over the line...and then practice some more...then push yourself some more
Been watching your videos for last couple of years. Really appreciate them Kevin. David been following u too, u all seem like fun humble guys. Esp appreciate current videos I fly off from Australia in 24hrs to hit up Hukuba and Rusutsu!!!! Great to see what I'm heading to. Yeowww!! Cheers Guys
Great video Kevin🤙🏼🤙🏼. All good tips and even better footage and getting the crew’s different perspectives and tips. Rusutsu looks like my spot, great tee riding and tons and tons of natural freeride features. Loving the Japan content man. 👍🏼
IM IN NISEKO RIGHT NOW!!! I haven’t seen you though because I mainly stay on the green and red runs. I’ve been here for around a week and today was really sunny but recently the cloud has been blocking it. Hope you see this. (I’m from Western Australia)
Sick video as always. I'm new to snowboarding and all the videos I've been watching are by you guys. I live in Japan just south of Hiroshima so unfortunately there is no snow like there is up there. Pretty bad season this year from what I'm hearing.. Stay safe up there!
Hey Kevin Great video, looks unreal. "The steering toward what you look at" is a good advice. Also Kevin maybe re-visit your stance width. It looks too narrow. Uncomfortable to watch narrow.
@@diegol5802 of course it is. I just want to be clear here...it was not a mindless criticism, it was an advice from shred buddy to shred buddy. Kevin has shared with us so much advice and his time he deserve one or two back. He is a big boy he can take it and decide what to do with it. Keep up the good work Kevin!
Rusutsu is awesome hope you got to ride heavenly ridge. Its one of my favourite views there. Hope you get to check out a few onsesns around moiwa and you get visit moiwa. Moiwa is fun too! good luck =)
I prefer camber for all mountain riding. Lots of pop for jumps, better for carving. Lots of boards have a mix. Rocker in the nose and tail to help float in powder and prevent edge catches when turning, camber between your feet for pop and carving. I like the feel of these as well. Rocker is more for park or a board purely for powder. Good for doing presses, preventing edge catches, and floating in pow. It depends on what you plan to ride most, but I'd say stick to camber or hybrid camber for all mountain.
Hey Kevin! thanks for all the advises. Love your videos! How can I get a SnowboardProCamp sticker? I am from Argentina! Do you have any plans for snowboarding down here in Chapelco? it is a great resort. Please let me know. @SnowboardProCamp 🤙
Different snowboards will handle certain terrain better than others, so pick the right tool for the job.
Soooo true
🙌🙌 Preach!

As a fellow ACL recoverer, I totally agree with David. Bend those knees.
Bend and bend yup

Stance width is personal preference

Great advice guys... 🤘🏂🤘
Very nice Video 1.

Solid advice s per usual Kevin
Great video!
You guys are heros 😄
Awesome tips. Looks so amazing there!
Hey hey
Man, this looks like so much fun! Hoping to get there one day.... But first, need to get past the bunnie hill! LoL
You guys need to come down to Utah we have some of the best snow and good resorts
GREAT VID!
Andreas, whats your tip for all mountain riding?
Leave your jacket unzipped😀
Rusutsu is such a special place!!!
Yes pls 2021
Really great advice! Thank you!
Question: when are you guys going to drag @Ryan Knapton out with you guys?
They so should huh
This needs to happen! 🏂
@@zackdingle2702 yessss
Japow is totally on the bucket list FTD 🤟🏻
@@zackdingle2702 FTD
Nice helmet/goggles combo Kevin. Superb vid as usual. Gotta get to Whistler to ride with you and TJ. 🏂
Ja-POW 👊🏽🔥
Best advice...don’t be afraid to fall in fluffy snow lol
i think the trees in hokkaido is honestly less densed than those in hakuba
Omgggg i am in love with al your vidssss😍😍
Rusutsu is awesome hope you got to ride heavenly ridge. Its one of my favourite views there. Hope you get to check out a few onsesns around moiwa and you get visit moiwa. Moiwa is fun too! good luck =)
i think also planning the route, being able to read the terrain, would enhance the experience
What are some tips or things to look out for when reading the terrain?
YEEEEW
Scope out the terrain before sending it. Take a few runs to scope out what you'll be riding so that you what you'll be hitting.
Rusutsu is one of the best resort's in Japan ✌
Resorts
Japow is defo the best place to get batter at AM riding
How long you guys are going to be in Niseko? You guys should checkout the Rusutsu!
are you going to eu soon?
What do you prefer for all mtn rocker or camber and why? Trying to get my first board soon seeing as I'm progressing so much this season
I prefer camber for all mountain riding. Lots of pop for jumps, better for carving. Lots of boards have a mix. Rocker in the nose and tail to help float in powder and prevent edge catches when turning, camber between your feet for pop and carving. I like the feel of these as well.

soooo... can i come snowboard with you guys?? lol
aye chris!!!
Im going to Niseko next weekend, but I don't know where to stay. Hotel prices are outrageous! What is some advice for lodging and transportation?
I need advice on whether I should zip my jacket up or just let it blow in the wind?
Blow in the wind is what Andreas would say
nice vid
HEY, what happen with TJ Did you Fight?
Is it suicide to go down this type of powder with a full camber board?
Yo Kevin! Love your vids man, we're about to hit Rusutsu in 2 days... Any recommendations on spots?
Check out trees under isola chair!
@@Shred1904 cheers!
David: you gotta focus on focusing
“Greatest coach ever”
Hi Kevin! Thanks for the great content! One question, can a skate banana handle the terrain there in japan? Thanks in advance for the tips
On the groomers id be ok...
What city in japan is this in
Enzo Pepe closest main city is Sapporo. Rusutsu about 1:45 minute drive away.
Awesome looking! Way past my competence level though..
Hey Kevin! thanks for all the advises. Love your videos! How can I get a SnowboardProCamp sticker?
I am from Argentina! Do you have any plans for snowboarding down here in Chapelco? it is a great resort. Please let me know. @SnowboardProCamp 🤙
Type Snowboard pro camp stickers into Google... He has a website!!
zipping through the trees!! hahahahah how about you zip up your jacket
I beat EllStacker lol 🤙🏽
Yoooo u beat me
@@ellstackeradventures lol
@@jshay6071 lol
Call out!
What happened to TJ?
Why 159 over 153 in Japan? If I saw well 😆😆
Greater stability and float.
And because he is a giant human.
Best way to learn; send it and figure it out on the fly
Jesus dude... you are the most bang average snowboarder yet channel is called snowboardprocamp. Whats your best trick?
