- How to drop a cliff with snowboarder Xavier de le Rue
So, how to drop a cliff? Here are the tips and tricks that have helped me and will hopefully be useful to you whether you are just learning how to jump off rocks, or going for the big cliffs.
Dropping a cliff is not just about letting yourself fall from the sky. It took me years to understand that you need speed in order to get a good transition enabling you to stomp your landing. Lots of other small tips will help you to drop cliffs with confidence.
So get out there and have fun, start small, jump lots and stay safe.

Thank you guys for your support. I'll be trying to respond as much as possible all of your questions. Feel free to pass the link of the channel to your friends. The more subscribers the easier it will get to produce a ton of those.
Great videos! Would be nice to have a new series this winter.
How am I supposed to be landing I keep getting caught and flipping
Absolute legend. Fact.
I will begin snowboarding next week so glad I found this video!
Generally not recommended to do cliff drops until at least your second time snowboarding.
@@matthewelsom9356 more like 10th time, you need a lot of practise first, if not shit's gonna go bad
Surtur was a joke
@@matthewelsom9356 damn, now I feel like an idiot haha
10th time, lol, how about 10th year!
Xavier makes it look so easy, thanks for all
the amazing tips! Matt annetts is also a legend !
already love this channel
Merci pour cette vidéo et d'avance pour les prochaines, très belle initiative !
Legend.
So speed and power
all about commitment just like big
gaps in skateboard
Nice video, keep em comin!
soo sick
Bon ben maintenant j'ai la théorie, il ne me reste plus qu'à avoir les couilles! 😁
Great pointers to improve if you already can drop a cliff, but would be good to get the basics as well. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
He gave them to you. Go fast, ollie before the cliff, have fun.
Yeah pretty much what Nick said.. it’s a level of riding where if that doesn’t feel approachable you probably shouldn’t jump the cliff lol
This shit is crazy. One of the best in the world giving how to fucking videos. Such a great way to give back to the community.
Thanks - stoked that you like them. Have an awesome winter. Xv
It would be interesting to hear how do you estimate how much you are going to fly over rocks.
WoW
heavy!! although I dont think i will be trying this anytime soon..... but I guess the tips still apply for tiny cliff drops
True
If it looks dangerous I imagine some try to climb down. The rope stays?
Great Clip! I'll add wearing a pack with back protection, just in case. It is -50 GNAR Points if you back-slap tho. :)
Back protection makes sense. A back pack is mandatory and does a pretty similar job. I usually wear one or the other but if you feel safe with both you should for sure go for it like that
Magnifique! C'est des vidéos comme celle la qui manquaient à notre cher TH-cam! Mais zoo qui est français ne pourrais tu pas ajouter des sous titres en français? Sinon c'est super car je participe au freeride junior tour cette année et ça va vraiment m'aider!
Merci, Le lynx... pas mal le nom d'ailleurs.
On va avoir des sous titres en francais mais on était un peu charrette sur le premier donc mille excuses. on updater a ce moment la cet épisode sur la chaine youtube du coup.
HOW TO XV aha pas de souci! Merci !
HOW TO XV ah oui et puis tu pourrais jeter un oeil a ma chaîne? Je débute sur le grand jeu de TH-cam:-)
J'ai rajouté des sous-titres, mais ils doivent encore être validés
Is your weight central over the board for a faster/smoother run out or do you shift some weight back to keep the nose up?
Hi! He answered on another commenter who asked the same thing.. basically land pretty even with your weight but it helps to have a big nose on the board to not sink when you land. When you carry speed landing more even feels much better
how do you distribute the weight on your feet in the landing? I can't help tomahawking (but then my board was very flexible, if that's a excuse..)
Hi Micke, Good question. You need to be as much as possible on both your feet, and therefor you need a board with a big nose to make it easier to not catch the nose. Generally, speed help the transition and therefor the landing. I know it's hard to understand until you have felt it but trust me, find a jump and session it faster and faster and you will feel what I mean. (PS it has nothing to do with your board being too soft)
@@xavierdelerue537 Thank you so much! Your tips are helping me so much.
Just send it - got it.
Ha - yeah, go for it with confidence, whether it is 30cm, 1m or 10m... I mean do start small though, so you learn the technique and to get comfortable before moving onto bigger drops. Have fun. XV
What DIN value do you recommend for a experienced skier (10 year slalom racing) of 182cm and 70ish kilos?
Hi India, Thanks for your message, ahh - as a snowboarder I really do not feel qualified to answer that and not give you the right advice. I recommend asking in your local ski store to see if they would give you a good answer. Apologies for not being able to help more, have a great winter. Xv
Hi India,
I'm a skier and I had the same problem. I went for try and error until it was right for me. I started with the value from a DIN calculator and tried to ride really aggressively off piste (in non-exposed area) to push the bindings to their limit. Anytime a ski would fall off although I was still in control, I cranked the DIN by an extra 0.5. That's what I did for the front part of the binding. With that method I went from 8 to 10 in my case. With that value I do feel a considerable jolt upon release that is still bearable but they stay on most of the time - even during some slams. In the beginning of the season I sometimes back off about 0.5 for the first few runs/days.
To determine the value for the back part I go into a nose press and increase the DIN until the skis just stay on. Next I try nosepress 360 on slope and in powder and again adjust my skis. For a bit of extra buffer I go 0.5 to max 1 above the value where they stayed on (for me that was 9-9.5). Usually the back releases after a "front heavy cliff drop to tomahawk" landing ;) When you feel like they came off too easily in that situation or were a bit too strong you can change up the DIN again.
Cool vid Xav! Golden rule: Just Pin It! Any chance of getting the muppet (Sam) to do one of these How To vids for the skiers?
The would be a great thing to do for sure and I am sure it will happen in the future.
J'ai jamais réussi un bon saut avec une bonne réception sans catch , j'étais toujours super déséquilibré.
Maintenant mon dos m'interdit de sauter😭. (Ce n'est pas le snow qui a détruit mon dos)
la vitesse la vitesse! et aussi l'angle de transition .desole pour ton dos!
That gaper gap though...
I'm all about the style! Xv
So basically spray and pray...
Morning, i just want to share with you an idea. I am old and crazy snowboarder. Million times less crazy :-) than you because i don't have heart to do what you are famous with. I don't know other youtuber snowboarder from Europe besides you. Americans like, Kevin, TJ, Rayan Knapton ,CV and Snowboard Additions are very active. There are some Russians also in the You Tube. But no Europeans besides you. I think that there must be more vids about kids and more vids with girls. This way you can make snowboarding more popular, because it is more fun than ski. Please be sure that no one is that experienced to explain the technic to hit the BIG ALPINE line like you, but potentially the people been able to do it are much less than kids which can be attracted in the snowboarding fun. Good luck and stay health.
No this clip is not necessary
This is how beginners do it:
