All three characters have pretty high scores in "Edging"...I guess that must be some sort of snowboarding thing, otherwise it doesn't seem super relevant, appropriate or wise while snowboarding!
Zeit Geist Yeah, but I think the adrenaline and excitement, would make edgeing difficult and significantly increase your chances of having a serious accident... (Urban Dictionary)
I love how in Dan's Basically Skate 4 video he originally complained about having to swap sides on the board to direct himself. That just followed through to this beautiful, beautiful video.
Dan, this is Dan together we can take over the world. People will fear our name, we can build an army of only Dan. Let us rule the world with video games and old plastic snowboards.
With the scrolling thing that actually makes sense. When turning on a snow board you don't always lean. Most of the turning comes from pivoting you ankle up and down
I remember seeing this in a Toy catalog when I was a kid. When you showed it I was like "no way! how can this be" then you said it's from Finland and everything made sense.
NO WAY, I actually played this game before, the board was slightly different but I remember it being SSX and a physical snowboard, it’s long gone, but I clearly remember it
As soon as the board come out the box I had a flashback to when I was 7 or 8 years old and I definitely owned this. I also remember never being able to play it properly at all.
Oh yeah. I got this at a yard sale a few years ago. I left it at my grandmas house and only played it once or twice. Don't know if it's still there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is, or isn't.
I actually had this at one point in time I think I was 5 or so and I remember that the controller just didn't work and we didn't know how to even go so it just sat in the attic for about 2 years until my dad threw it away
Dan, if you're into having the manual (like the trick section) translated, hit me up. It's the least I can do for the endless hours of grade-A joy you've brought.
As an Australian, I'm pretty sure I had this (or an incredibly similar device) as a kid. It's weird seeing someone online exclaim about how unbelievable/unheard of it is.
I actually wanted this as a kid when it came out in the states, but never got it. It was actually really cool back then, and i've been looking for it since.
Dan, get a skateboard. wear boots, skeleton (sit on the board) down a hill, use the boots to brake if it gets scary. Fat man’s way to skateboard, tons of fun.
Holy crap a local playcenter/arcade place had this years ago when I went. I thought they just had gimmicky boards that they set up but now I realize this is real.
What'd I learn this Christmas:
1) No one loves me
2) Ashens is from Finland.
3) Dan wears odd socks
Pottsie I already knew that one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
4) Dan is a big boi that deserves lots of love and kisses
we love you baz
Are you sure about him being Finnish since he has quite a Norfolk accent and he lives in Norwich?
Never in any of Dan's videos did I expect a foot cam.
It's about time. I asked for a foot cam for years.
A very specific subset of Dan's fans have just received the greatest present of their lives.
Kampf Keks Butt cam next
Didn't even put SSXMAS in the title...
Times have changed
This is the closest that Dan has ever got to a facecam, besides the happy wheels video
gferrol118 there's also a demma WWE video where he uses a face cam with Emma Blackery
Feet cam is superior anyways. At least it does it for me 👣👀
John Smith please no
The fake Amnesia video.
What about facerig?
"I am a Christmas wizard!" - Dan like 5 years ago
Hello procrastinators...
Boop dee dee boop...
I preferred the XXXmas special.
Reverbose that may be one of my favourite episodes ever
assassinxex I know why. *insert Lenny face because I am too lazy to search one up*
Reverbose i want it on the records im not a weibo
assassinxex wow, you can not spell that. weaboo* also it is on the record that you are INFACT one.
Reverbose wow.
You literally just have to search up '('

Pook365 Ever heard of adrenaline junkies?
Zeit Geist Yeah, but I think the adrenaline and excitement, would make edgeing difficult and significantly increase your chances of having a serious accident...
(Urban Dictionary)
I tried edging last time I went snowboarding but the lady next to me on the ski lift called the cops
As soon as you opened that package I realized I had one of those as a kid. Such nostalgia
i had one too, but i had the american version
samocamo123 same
It's actualy citizenshit test for Finland. It's supposed to say "Finnish" at the end of the level, but they made a typo.
Дмитрий Диденко ""citizenshit""
Did Emma Blackery edit this because jesus the jump cuts.
I actually still own one of these. Legitimately.
Same.
Sell it
I found this in my attic last week
I love how in Dan's Basically Skate 4 video he originally complained about having to swap sides on the board to direct himself. That just followed through to this beautiful, beautiful video.
I'm so happy there's a Nerd 3 Christmas special. Merry Christmas, Dan.
Dan, this is Dan together we can take over the world. People will fear our name, we can build an army of only Dan. Let us rule the world with video games and old plastic snowboards.
daniel koflin Just need Danny from Game Grumps and youçll be immortal.
daniel koflin potato
daniel koflin yes and I shall lead the army
Just recruit Danny2462. You won't need anyone else.
I for one welcome our new Dan overlords.

The second I saw the shape of the wrapped box I had flashbacks to my childhood as this was literally a Christmas present from my youth
the shivers that went down my spine when the EA big logo came up was unreal. so much nostalga
I actually owned this as a kid in Australia. It was freaking hard as 5 year old.
Sarah Hunt as a fellow Australian I also owned this I’d completely forgotten its existence till now
I wouldn't imagine you get much opportunity to practice snowboarding in australia, unless you go and visit middle earth next door.
HASEnoncorperated as someone else who played this, I highly doubt this even slightly resembles the motion of real snowboarding
HASEnoncorperated There is actually a place in Australia called the Snowy Mountains, you'd never guess why
+Billiamiscool Because they're in the middle of the desert? If it's not something ironic i'll be highly dissapointed.
i love those cable ties on toys to hold them in the packaging that require so much force to cut, you end up hurting yourself in the process
JESUS THE NOSTALGIA. When I was a we lad of about 5 or 6 my brothers and I played this at our grandmas every time we went over!!
Please mourn with me, my PS4 died today on the same day I got PSVR. It was our 4 year anniversary, RIP Barbara...
Totally expected a twist where out of nowhere he started playing a VR snowboarding game.
I remember seeing this in a Toy catalog when I was a kid. When you showed it I was like "no way! how can this be" then you said it's from Finland and everything made sense.
NO WAY, I actually played this game before, the board was slightly different but I remember it being SSX and a physical snowboard, it’s long gone, but I clearly remember it
The secret to these controls was always to sit with the board in your lap and press the buttons with your hands
Dr Eggman:
Dashing dreams of mickey mouse socks since 25th December 2017
I got this for Christmas about 10 years ago, the buttons are the perfect size if you're a child
i had this as a kid, and whenever i would mention it no one ever knew what i was talking about.
it was actually quite cool seeing one of these again as i had one years ago growing up
I actually used to have the SSX Snowboarder Plug 'n' Play game. Not sure if I still have it and I hardly have any memories of using it.
foot-cam is the future of gaming videos.
It reminds of the Tony Hawk ride game. Except you could start on one side of the room and end up in the next room with a broken ankle.
As soon as the board come out the box I had a flashback to when I was 7 or 8 years old and I definitely owned this. I also remember never being able to play it properly at all.
I've only had 2 ssx games. 1 was on the gba and this one. This is really weird seeing dan so amazed by something that was part of my childhood
Oh yeah. I got this at a yard sale a few years ago. I left it at my grandmas house and only played it once or twice. Don't know if it's still there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is, or isn't.
At least it's not porn this year
wearing un matching socks promote chaos, anarchy and defeatism
Christmas day, Dan is wearing pyjama pants... continuity checks, with advent calendar video!
Man, everyone has those baubles. The ones with the bits carved out.
I ducking love SSX. I would make love to that board... But it's tricky
ducking
trucking
It's like a poor man's Out Run...with snowboards.
You are still in your clothes from the Ashens and Nerd3 Advent Calendar Special
I actually had this at one point in time I think I was 5 or so and I remember that the controller just didn't work and we didn't know how to even go so it just sat in the attic for about 2 years until my dad threw it away
I think you're supposed to stand on the board with both feet and lean forward/back when you want to press forward/back.
Dan, if you're into having the manual (like the trick section) translated, hit me up. It's the least I can do for the endless hours of grade-A joy you've brought.
Holy crap, I had one of these as a kid. Talk about a throwback.
I actually enjoyed snowboarding on the Tony hawk's shred board thing
As an Australian, I'm pretty sure I had this (or an incredibly similar device) as a kid. It's weird seeing someone online exclaim about how unbelievable/unheard of it is.
What happened to the old intro you used to do. I loved that.
I had this game when I was younger and completely forgotten it existed
The three buttons you need to play the game are on that controller/hub thing. You don’t even need the board.
Still better than the doctor Who Christmas special
That is a very dangerous place to put a massive Christmas Tree
I'm 21 now, i had this as a kid. i forgot it existed. I loved it!
I actually wanted this as a kid when it came out in the states, but never got it. It was actually really cool back then, and i've been looking for it since.
God, he did more heel turns than the big show
Anyone who has played Tony hawk ride will immediately fell worried for Dan playing this game
Someone should re-make this in VR with the board
Clearly they took notes from GTA 5 about the backflip giving you air. Inpressive taking an idea from the future to put in your plug'n'play game.
I remember seeing advertising for this board. Nostalgia.
I still have this for my GameCube! One of my favorites without a doubt
I was still waiting for this to be an elaborate joke five minutes into him actually playing the game
Merry Christmas to everyone watching this at Christmas 2018
I so want to see the insides of this thing. I bet it's a "Ashens joystick special" in a nutshell.
Only Dan would be so interested in the menu
"Terrible old games you probably never heard of, Dan edition"
Having just come back from France this is exactly like my experience of snowboarding while under the influence
That sounds like it's something that's not technically illegal, but probably should be.
HASEnoncorperated wait until you have about 200 students try and ride back down the mountain at once then you should worry
I remember I got one of these for Christmas as a kid and I immediately busted my face on the fireplace and never touched it again
Does this mean a Completes of SSX Tricky is on the way?
The visuals and the board gimmick is giving me shovelware vibes.
The copyright suggests that this came out along Doom 3 and Half-Life 2.
Those legos make me feel like a kid again.
The plural of LEGO is still LEGO
CheatsEnabled Not to normal people.
"Normal" people aren't doing it right, then.
GogoGamingYT by "normal" I assume you're referring to "Americans"
thjage Ha so true. But most people say Legos.
Surprisingly I have actually played this plug and play game before.
Basically, Tony Hawk ride but more novel and compact.
Okay, you are the Ashens now
Merry Christmas, Dan!
whoa, I actually had this years ago when i was like 6, never thought i'd see the day i'd see this on youtube
Wait hold on , in the the last 1.5 years nerd3 channel has increased by 96,000 subs.
That's the only SSX game I knew about as a kid...
Omg I had this thing as a kid and never knew what it was called until now...
But Dan you went to Canada what do you mean you found it in Finland
He said he bought it a couple years ago.
In another video he said he'd lived in Finland for a few years, so probably bought it then.
@Eriko. Oy cooler or more chill?
People go to different places in the world as there are a lot of countries.
I’ve played the original SSX game, I was about 10 and I went to a op shop and found one and played it for hours
Well this isn't what I was expecting when I saw SSX in the title
I had that game, the most physically demanding work I've done in 10 years
Dan, get a skateboard. wear boots, skeleton (sit on the board) down a hill, use the boots to brake if it gets scary. Fat man’s way to skateboard, tons of fun.
Rather confident in my memory that I used to have one of these for maybe the PS1 or 2? Was from the U.K. too.
I have something just like that except it's blue, by Radica, and it doesn't really have a name, it's basically just Snowboarding the game.
Gullible is in the description.
Let's see if Dan remembers.
Do you?
Holy crap a local playcenter/arcade place had this years ago when I went. I thought they just had gimmicky boards that they set up but now I realize this is real.
I had this exact board game thing, I never knew where my parents got it
This should be released for the Vive.
I remember this being much better than it actually is.
That's how being a child works.
I HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED THIS. I remember finding it in a charity shop.
Such a rare and unique game thats currently $80 on Amazon. Guessing it was cheaper in Finland.
This was the most terrifying intro ever. :o
Oh my god I had this game when I was little! I'm pretty sure I still have the snowboard floating around somewhere
MERRY CHRISTMAS DAN
The twist is that this is the REAL EA commercial video
They had a Tony Hawk game that used a board like the one in this video for the original Wii
So we're Ashens now?
