I have a 9 year old who is learning how to ride park, I'm 36, been skiing for 30 years, never done a 180. I go and try, and I'm proud of the fact that I know nothing, I laugh when I fall, I can't ride a rail without falling. BUT, my 9 year old laughs with me, and him watching me fail, and me being ok with failing, since it's part of the process, it took all the tension off him! Now he laughs when he falls, gets back up and tries again. Be a role model, and show other people your perseverance, that is more admirable then doing a 180 or a rail. The guys riding park, know this. After 2 days, I can now ride switch a lil and do 180s both left and right and so can he! We even tried 360s, and he "earned" ice cream for it. I see other riders scared to try out of fear of failing, and I joke with em about how bad I am. All these guys doing the tricks were once there. I feel bad when I see people watch and not try, I know the feeling, I did that for decades. The guys in the park cheer me on, laugh with me, and give me tips.... Be humble and enjoy the process of learning, this guy is right, just start small with the basics, once you get a 180 down, that lil bit of confidence pushes you to do more. But for the life of me, I fall every time on a rail and can't figure it out, and just laugh at myself, but one day... I won't fall! See ya out there!
So tru
Deep
Man just wrote an essay
Lean forward on the rail with a solid stance (40-50cm apart) to not fall. practice on boxes first
Why
The social thing is soooo true. I'm a florida boy and went snowboarding for the first time at age 16. Got pretty good pretty fast, third day of vacation and I was going up the mountain and down alone. I found a group of 20 something, longhaired, snowboard dudes, and they were the nicest ppl I ever met. They took me down double black diamond and literally showed me the slowest best way to do it, then all the faster ways. Those guys literally made the whole trip for me. Ended up shredding every trail on the mountain with them (they shredded, I cartwheeled down a couple of em lol). Hands down best vacation of my life.
I really like the gym comparison because it's true in so many ways. So many people are afraid of the gym because of the same exact reasons as the park. You're not gonna feel like you belong at first but when you start putting in the work you'll slowly start feeling like you belong.
Well said bro🙏
same with skateparks, it goes from ackward to home real quick
Makes the title why you shouldn't be intimidated by the terrain park
"Makes the thumbnail the most intimidating terrain park"
Andrew Saito oh yeah yeah
Andrew Saito that’s not intimidating it’s a bunch of beginner jumps
It’s funny cause there’s a dylan that replied and my middle name is Andrew haha oh ya eh yeah
I have been to that hill it’s the smaller park ther
@@dwhit7451 I ski there, i presume this guy skis there, this park has the lift literally right over top of it and a bunch of kids go in there and the people on the life are always super toxic when the little kids fall
I don't ride park (but I really wish I did) I think because since I don't know how to do any tricks or really even hit jumps it's kinda embarrassing to ride the park when everyone else there is doing 360s and 720s and I can't even hit a jump
Plus everyone on the chair can see you
I think a lot of people (myself included) don't ride park because we don't know how to and it's embarrassing when you try and fall in front of everyone
agreed!
If youre too scared to fail youll never succeed. Dont care about them! Just do your thing.
When i started that was a massive problem, people on the chairs that laught at you most of the time wouldn't even have the balls to try tricks. Ignore them, get better and they will respect it.
Bro just go have fun
I can only do jumps, but I do it cause I enjoy it. It's REALLY fun!!!
Your gym analogy was spot on perfect... and it's never too late to start skiing the park. I turned 47 this year and this was my first year skiing it with my 11 year old son. (Now I'm the old man of the park...) What a blast and I wish I started sooner. Keep up the great videos.. cheers!
Bag O Tricks, Last season I was watching your video on how to do a rail. By the end of last ski season I was watching your video on how to backflip. Your videos really help. I won at least 4 competitions last season because I could k-fed and 540. So thank you very much and keep up the awesome videos
Ay man dope! Glad I could help!
You won a comp with a 540 and a kfed who you going against 😭

This was pretty good and I recognize the three obstacles. Nearly all park riders are helpful and supportive. Most will probably not even notice you or pay attention, because they’re doing their own thing. I hit the park every time I ski, and I’m 61. Everybody in our local parks knows me and my age, and I go and work on tricks. Some days are better than others. I get props for sure. But when it comes to park, nobody cares. Everyone is focused on their own progression. I wait in line with kids 1/3 my age and take my turn and nobody notices. If they do notice, thry always want to help or give props. Park is hard, physically demanding, and mentally demanding. It’s also very personal, because no one knows what’s going on in your head but you. I recommend park to anyone, but especially older skiers. Go after the park with all your heart and soul, and it will change your mind and body. How do you manage the fear? By gradual progression and reps-thousands of reps. Hit the park as much as you can and it gets easier. A quote from Tom Wallisch.
As a park skier I love to see new young people trying new stuff and working to get better because that’s what I do all the time but when they just get in the way it’s not good
4:36 that jump line tho!
I’ve been there and the knuckles of the jumps are like straight down
Watched your backie tutorial about a hundred times because I was so scared...then I sent it and 2 days later I learned rodeo 5...keep it up dawg
Congrats brotha!
jeezus what is that park at 4:40. that shit looks like my dream
Mt St Louis in Ontario
ColemanCullinanFilms same fuck
Yo. we should meet up at Louis some time. Whats your IG?
Mount St. Louis Moonstone
It looks like a mini version of the park at mayrhofen.
The only thing I'm scared of on the whole mountain is rails😧
Just start shiftying boxes, even if you can't get 90, then try jump 90ing on a box, then use smaller boxes, then just send the rail. I'm currently working on this process and can only do a shifty on a box, but Damn you feel so much better when you ride something sideways
Same
Brandon Gaming33 it’s not that bad. If your skiing I can’t help you, but if your snowboarding you just have to get slower and line your board up with the rail. I know that I’m late, but just saying!
Dope video just saw this in my recommended and I love park snowboarding and couldn't agree more with this video. All the guys in the park that shred are the most chill people I have met on the mountain. They just love what they are doing and if you share that love it's almost a brother hood. And great job expanding the channel you gained a sub off the recommended tab :).
You helped me with this video get introduced to the park. Park skiing is now currently my favorite thing to do. Thanks!
This Video is just so true. The Ski park is like my living room with all my friends and it's always great when someone joins our crew. Even if they are only here for a week or something on holiday, it's always a great oppurtunity to make new friends.
Speaking as an older guy getting into park, one big thing that intimidates people is that one time when they tried a trick, crashed and got hurt. I remember landing on a rail on my shins as a 16 year old and I never hit another rail after that because "it wasn't worth it." I tried throwing a 540 of a park jump and almost knocked myself out, and from then on I didn't want to spin on park jumps anymore. My problem back then was that I had no idea about what I was doing and no concept of progression. Kids nowadays have TH-cam videos for everything from 50-50 on a rail to corked 540s, and it's a LOT safer if you know what you're supposed to do before you try a new trick, and how to work up to it instead of just trying to send it because the other guys in the park can do it. Now I'm wishing I wouldn't have taken a 15 year break because my body gets hurt easier than when I was in my 20s, but finally I'm starting to throw spins off of jumps and hit rails again.
The other big part is being intimidated because beginners don't actually know how big or how difficult a feature is, they just have no experience to gauge it by. So explaining to beginners that they should STAY AWAY from big jumps and rails, to start from the absolute smallest jump and hit it 100 times until it's comfortable before they move on to the next size jump, and to understand which rails are easier or harder than others, that's really important for them to know so they aren't intimidated.
This made me miss snowboarding so much. I live in Florida and I’ve only snowboarded once but it was so fun and I really wanna do it again.
Nice
Loved the video. Thank you so much for this! I have been skiing ⛷ over 3 years now and just now built up the confidence to start riding in the park. Your video brought me more confidence 👍🏻👏🏻
About the locals, That is so true. We had a contest and has some guys outside of the city came, Non locals. And i was super nice to them and told them everything. Every time they needed help or wanted to buy a ski lift card, I was ALWAYS there to help.
Almost 10k subs great job!!! This helped me a lot I always get scared!
The fact that I just watch this and I want to learn how to ride park, and he said that most people are pretty cool about asking about how to hit it, made me definitely want to start doing it now
Great video! I am usually not afraid of the park, in fact every place I go I try to check out one of the parks, I am definitely not a park skier, I tried to hit a jump and fell and have fallen after riding a box! I love the butter boxes, but sometimes I fall. I tried a flat down box at the end of ski season and it was fun. I will admit that some of the park features do intimidate me and get a little afraid to do some of it because I have the fear of getting hurt real bad. Anyway, the locals at Seven Springs were real nice to me when I went into one of the terrain parks that was a little more advanced and was the only one opened on that half of the resort and these guys I asked if there were any butter boxes and they said no, but they encouraged me to do this curved box and I almost did it, but chickened out.
I joined ski club at my school and your channel is really helping me boost my confidence thanks
5:38 where is that park it looks fun
that is mount st Louis moonstone in Ontario. great park
Colin Cockburn bruh I live in Thunder Bay Ontario

This is such a good video. People bash gapers so much for going off the lips of rails and stuff. But didn't pretty much all of us do that at some point? We all were there at some point. Also, I have yet to meet someone through Instagram, or in the park that's not a nice person. People in the park are super chill which is something that other activities/sports lack. Team sports? Everyone hates eachother pretty much. Skiing? Everyone's super chill and down to earth.
I agree with this other than hitting the side of lips, that's a quick way to get park riders to dislike you. Treat/ride the park as it's supposed to be ridden, and no worries!
The Bag o' Tricks I know that hitting the sides of the lips is how to get hated on, but if the park scene wants to expand, we need to tell them in a nice way rather than a mean way some park etiquette. That's what I'm trying to get at.
Oh yeah for sure!
stupid question from a noob , but what do you mean 'sides of lips'?
turtlezed the jump for the rail, but on one of the far sides
this is a really helpful video thanks
#3 Is huge for me. I have anxiety and I get down on myself for doing nothing but wasting space in the park. Thanks for the confidence boost.
Thx for this bro I ski park all the time and people always thinks of us as like mean people and we are not at all we always help people when they fall and try to make everyone feel welcome
i can ski black runs and in the glades but i've always been intimidated by the terrain park. great vid :)
really liked this video! great way to explain the park to the newcomers! getting people stoked for this season!
haha excellent video! you hit nearly all of my insecurities while riding in the park. Thanks a lot! Motivated me to reach out to people
Aye im a huge snowboarder, i would say im a pretty good rider, ill go jump off of everything and just last season i got a tamedog down (front flip) but i really want to get into the rails and boxes, this video just boosted my confidence. Im so hyped for this season, thanks so much man!!!!!
I've been skiing for a while but mostly on vacation at resorts, rarely touching the terrain park. This season I decided I wanted to really grow as a skier, and learn how to ride the park, so I have committed to making the hour drive to my local mountain most weekends. I did so today and I was frankly surprised by how incompetent I was. I was able to hit most smaller jumps with ease and I could straight line boxes, but other than that I wasn't able to do much. I am a goal oriented person so I was wondering what you think some good goals I should set for myself to accomplish daily, weekly, and season long would be. I think a few things I want to accomplish by the end of the season are; be able to ride boxes and rails, be able to consistently do a shifty, be able to do basic grabs, and be able to ride reverse. Do you think this is realistic? What would you suggest?
Last time I was not intimidated I fell on back on a freaking rail and can't walk anymore. Ok, jk, but yet, I'm still recovering from the accident, 3 weeks without snowboarding :(
love your vids, this defiantly boosted my confidants in the park!
Everyone starts at the bottom to work up. Stay shredding. Don't be a Jerry
love it, great message hope i run into people like u in the hill all the time
I think one of the biggest hurdles to jump (pun intended) into the park scene was not giving an eff what others think. It seems that parks are always under a ski lift. I always thought people are just staring at me fail (they are). This is where not giving an eff comes into play. I'll tell you this, though, once you overcome that feeling of being watched, the feeling after stomping a trick is so so so nice.
I read a page on "why you should ski like a beginner again" It had some great points. newbys have the most fun. they don't care anything or what anyone says about them. and it turns out nobody does care what you look like its all in your head. don't let pride and prejudice stop you. Everyone else will want to see you succeed. don't let your "good form" get in the way of your fun ether!
Yo man sweet vid!! Not sure if you have made any of these vids yet so apologies if I'm just not looking hard enough but could u do a how to
1. 270 on
2. Go in switch
3. Add grabs and spins together
Sorry if you have made these vids and I'm not not paying attention, if not maybe consider those as vids!! Thanks for reading and keep it real man
Haven't made those yet, but they're all in the works for this upcoming season!
Sick advice man! Alot of people just need to get out there and give the park a shot!
for me the first time going into a terrain park i broke my arm and was done for the year and missed the rest of my basketball season😭 this was 2 years ago, i haven’t been snowboarding since and i want to get back into it this year so wish me luck!
Heads down for u. Have to give you props! Down to Earth and just tells people how the mindset of everone should be/have towards the park riding! Sub for that. Keep up with the videos and I'll enjoy watching them and trying to do the same with skiing - Learning to be great! Tho I have problems with skiboots. Even with dalbello and Salomon...
Thank you... this brought me so much more confidence!
Thanks you gave me confidence to try biger jumps
To be fair your vids are really chilled and at the end of the day this is exactly what i need
Thank u for posting this vid i cant do much in the park but i want to learn it sooo bad this really helps me thanks
great video love you totaly right dont be afraight other good riders wouldnt say you suck last year i only could do an indy grab and 180 but the guys in the park was like dude do this thats cool and they helped me allot soo dont be scared love your channel keep doing the great work
0:36
THE PLAN IS *SIMPLE*
any baconers???
Went snowboarding one time last year and thanks to this video I got plans to go again next week 🥳
The best way to be able to take big slams is going to the gym and working out. Its also a pretty good idea to buy some rollers and stuff like that and do stretches before heading out to the mountain. It really does help. If i look back at footage of myself falling from when i was maybe 15-16 around that time i got hurt from fairly small slams but nowadays i can take massive slams and not get hurt. And btw the point of doing the stretches is to increase how flexible your muscles are, but there are probably lots of videos on the internet explaining this much better.
I took my then 10-year-old daughter to the park for the first time last year. We weren't very good but could do small jumps, boxes and are learning to ski switch.
I was a little worried but quickly figured out that a lot of people weren't all that much more skilled than we are.
I'm more worried about trashing the bases on our skis than anything else.
Thanks so much for doing this I’m 12 and I’m very scared of the terrain but I think I’m good now winter coming
EmbiBeats thanks I’m heading to Montana to go snowboarding at white fish I. Excited and once again thx for the tip
I’m 13 and I hit my first jump because of this video
By jump I mean my first actual kicker
I started last year and just try it, no one will make fun of you for trying, btw I started at 13
Started getting into park this season. Tried my first rail last week and racked my shins and scorpioned. It sucked but I still want to keep going at it since that pretty much the worst that can happen. It did put me out for a week though
In the start I was cancerous, but now that 8 have been shredding for 1.5 years, and now I do flipps and spinns, and I can rail! Just keep your hopes up!
I would have to agree with everything you're saying, it's fun to ride with some beginners, but at the same time I like riding with people at or above my skill level so I can push myself, that means that beginners might also like riding with more skilled riders so they can also push themselves, it's all a balancing game :)
Great video man!! Skiing needs more channels like this!
Thanks brotha!
That’s mount St. Louis out back I love that Terran park
Awsome video dude you definitely hit those key points An have helped a lot
This video helps me out a lot now, thanks! Btw i like your Channel
bro, that is so damn motivating, thank you!
Glad I can help brotha!
Great content! Thank you. Subscribed!!
I got comfortable with rails and small jumps in my backyard as a kid then when I took it to the mountain, I had the confidence to excel. So if you have a hill around your home to practice on, I’d recommend you do that. Also its easy to build a homemade rail or box. Just google it
Awesome video. I'm the 30 year old haha. I tried some park when I was in my teens, never got great but would go for smaller hits and spin 180s, and ride boxes (not rails) straight on and off. Still ride my twin tips, but have shied away from the park since then. Would love to go back.
This is so true because My second time I went skiing I was in the park and rippin around because what was getting my way? NOTHING. I fell once and someone said “you suck” but who cares at least you’re trying! TRUST THIS GUY! Oh and I’m 12
When i started to learn 180° and 360° i had my bindings to 5kg hevier than me or so.. so when i didnt land a 180 or a 360 straight up perfect, i would fall because of the pressure on the bindings when i landed a little too much on the nose or the tail, its a good way to perfection your rotation (my opinion).
When i started with freeskiing (15 yrs ago) and going to parks, I never felt intimidated by the park, but more those „over-cool“ people in fancy equipment and „over-cool“ behaviors looking at you and judging like you are something lower then them cause you can‘t do cool tricks yet, nor you don‘t have all this fancy stuff that they do......
Never appeared really natural to me. So i ended up sending backcountry stuffs more then going to parks cause it felt way more free and peaceful.
Edit: forgot to mention I started in parks like Laax or Stubai where top people did their training since ever and maaaany people were riding anyways.... i worked as slope patrol for a couple years so basically could ride for free where I wanted.
But in those big parks there was/is always some type of „showing off“ your equipment, behavior etc.... a bit too materialistic and superficial for my taste...
still, parks like Laax are a dream and do deserve their awards for the best park worldwide. If it‘s not too crowded I love to go there. But if there are too many people, then the ski area is big enough to find a nice backcountry kicker spot.
Built it, get some friends, buy a one way lift ticket the next day and chill and jump there 🙌🏼.
Dude thank you it really helped!
Thanks for the amazing advice! I am an 12 year old girl slope and pipe skier. This made me feel a lot more comfortable. 😄
Thanks for ur tips bro I started snowboarding a week ago and I'm I'm learning how to grab now
inspirational man.
Just started hitting rails and pipes. Really excited for my next trick as I was shocked at how easy they were to ride. Still need to practice elevated boxes and larger jumps tho.
Any tips for how to handle round rails and how fast I just go over elevated boxes? I haven't started rounded rails and I tend to do the boxes more slowly and I fall off a lot
Dont be scared y'all just got my second broken collar bone from the terrain park! Go big or go home! Keep learning and improving!
First time ever went full send off a "big to me" jump. Landed on my back, full taco. 3 weeks of back pain. Never been into a terrain area since, almost 40 yr old now lol
dude this is so spot on! Awesome video
I agree with you, the parks are awesome. The thing is, I am able to do all of the big jumps, small jumps. Jumping is not the problem. I thought, you know what. I'm going to be practising a 360. Literally the first time I tried I snapped all of the muscles in my knee. Had surgery about 2 years ago and I can finally ski again this year. (I hope). So yeah, moral of the story, don't be afraid but be careful!
you are SO GOOD!!!! also what kind of skis are you skiing? i like them and i need new ones for this year am a park rat
Honestly I’m 11 and I go park and my first time was shitless scared and there was this one person who helped hit jumps and land after high height and he taught me to do tricks and now I’m always going Park
I'm a ski racer but I like to do park and I was told by a group of people to fuck off but I think that when it happens to others they just think that everyone does that so they won't go
Luc Botherway Forget what dumb people say, I love watching people ski the park! It looks awesome! 🎿 🏂
I tried riding park for the first time a few days ago and everything was going well; I only took ramps and jumps, but I landed great every time. The layout of the park itself is what didn't work out for me. I hit this jump that was very small and easy, but there was another jump two or three yards away from it onto a rail, so I overshot the first jump and ended up slamming my leg into the rail by accident and denting the edge of my snowboard. Luckily I didn't break any bones, but I did pull a muscle in my leg. Plan your run before you do it.
Your videos are the best man! This season is going to be my first of riding park. I just bought a pair of atomic punx's.
Thanks man means a lot!! Punx are a good first set of skis, good luck!
What do you do if there are all snowboards and no skiers?, and you’re on skis. Will there be any weird boarders are better than skiers sort deal?
At what point do you recommend to start practicing terrain park?
Hey man, Love the vids, I see you ski at Killington, so do I let me know when you are up there.
This helped a lot thanks
I'm just starting park, and I can already do rails. Gonna attempt a decent sized jump today. Wish me luck!
I’m afraid of hitting big jumps and knuckling because I have done it before and gotten hurt. Any tips?
Thanks for the heads up
hey can i ask the name of the skis? cause i gotta buy new ones and the look really nice
At my local park the people are nice enough to even ask if you’re ok after a nasty fall
Ive just started snowboarding and I can barely ride reds comfortably, cant do any tricks, but I still cruise down the park and get some tiny air time on the jumps and have a great ol time :D I don't care what people think, I paid for my ticket like everybody else lol.
this video helped me so much thank you
im scared to ride park cause theres always the chairlift on top and im scared theyll judge me
ngl same, I don’t want to see the three year old on holiday laugh at me for face planting
@@lexl2276 you shouldn't care what a three year old thinks of you
You’ll be ok so what u can’t control what others say but u can control how u react
Lol
Please keep making videos year round your videos are great and I️m not just saying that. I can just tell how fast your channel is going to grow. Keep it up bro
1:23 woah, I want those!
I dont ride the park because frankly I don't have anyone to ride the park with, but the point you made about park skiers being personable people is so true. Always have great convos with park skiers on the lifts. I've ran into a ton of assholes on the mountain, none of them shred park, none of them are good, most of them are from Jersey.
I ski in southern Ontario and there always seems to be the mom that brings there 2 year olds that have never skied before into the park and ski it like a normal run. They always end up cutting people off and going right behind jumps . I try to tell them to try to be safe in the park and they always get pissed off . Wut should I do
Me over 30 trying to slide the smallest rail at my local park on the 2nd attempt: tears AC joint and breaks thumb.
I think the message in the video is good but if you're not a conditioned athlete you can definitely hurt yourself easily. Especially for older riders, get yourself a padded shirt or shorts, it's a lot less expensive then an injury and they make some pretty lightweight and comfortable stuff nowadays.
