Just wanted to say I enjoy coming back to to view your videos they are very good at explaining learning how to snowboard. I am 43 years old and am a self learner from your videos. I can snowboard now thanks to the video lessons you provided. I use to ski, but it was hard on an injured knee I have. I found a new passion and feel alive again! Thanks again!
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for commenting and thanks for coming back! I'm really happy you were able to learn from watching my videos. Glad you were able to rekindle your love for winter sports and what a great story! Thank you for sharing! Have fun and be safe out there!
great video! I love the 'gravity ' and patience approach. Thank you.
+Juan Antonio Vargas Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting! :)
Great video man I've been baiting for awhile and this is probably better advice than I could've gave
+Green Arrow (Firebird.33) Thanks so much! Appreciate your comment! :)
They make it look so easy
Nawwww, it just took quite a bit of time, dedication, and practice. :)
Milan Nimeh it is easy!!! 😄
Lol man you made me laughing so much
Milan Nimeh because he doesnt do it right...
I will do, I'll be all over it this evening after work, and will let you know how I get on in March!!
I'm not even here for the tips since I don't snowboard, but watching you just slide down so smoothly with such proficiency makes snowboarding seem so nice. I'm not even into all those people doing crazy flips and tricks...this to me seemed much more pleasant
+Kalernor Wow, thanks so much for commenting! You know, you should definitely give it a try. It's like the thrill of tobogganing as a child... but for adults! ^_^
fj5snow Sadly not an available activity in sunny Egypt or other surrounding countries :D I definitely do plan on trying it the next time I visit a snowy place though. Is it maybe possible to learn basic snowboarding in a one week trip duration or is more time than that required?
+Kalernor well, as the title suggests, you can learn the basics in a day with this series, provided you're relatively active with good balance. :)
Really liked this video. Great take on how to snowboard. Broke it down really well:)
Thanks so much for your comment, I'm glad you think so! :)
Y'all killed it out there that's rad sick video
Thanks so much!
Also, it good to preroll your joints before you leave in the morning. I keep mine in a hollowed out pen to keep them safe
What the fuck dude do that's hit your going to ruin yourself.
hahaha i did just that with my buds last friday. Snuck a fat joint in a sharpie tube and e toked up in the woods of our mountian in the 30 mph wind and 2 ft of snow.
TY for this great video and clear explenation. I've been riding for 18 years now and stiĺl this is great to see, how knowledge and experience can be transfered to new riders. Have fun out there and be safe.
***** Thanks for your comment, really glad you liked my video. Shred on! :)
thanks for the video because I might be starting this year and will ice kinda screw up things like balancing
+Kaleb Gilquist Ice makes things more difficult because the edges can more easily slip out while applying pressure. Check out my 5 part series How To S In A Day if you haven't already. Hopefully those videos will help you out as a beginner. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips, dude! This will be my first time out there on a board.
Thanks! If you haven't already, check out my How To S In A Day series. You may find those videos helpful as well. Have fun, best of luck and be safe!
SUPER GOOD VIDEO ... I LOVED IT!!
Thanks very much! If you haven't already, have a look at my How To S In A Day series and perhaps you may find those videos helpful too. :)
Great video! You killed it.
Thank you! :D
such a relaxing video
Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks! Great boarding tips
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i nailed skiing last year ..this year i would want to go for snowboard...hopefully this video will help me .. thanks for sharing ..have fun ..:)
+harminder singh Hey, if you haven't already, check out my How To S In A Day series as well. Hopefully that will help you learn how to snowboard. :) Thanks!
I'm looking forward to putting your tuition into practise next month, I'm leaving skiing behind!!!
+richard lawrance Welcome to the cooler side! haha Make sure to watch my 5 part series How To S In A Day and that should help you out as well. Best of luck and have fun! Let us know how it goes.
Evan, i did it just because of yours videos....thanks a lot men!
+EEugeniusPP Evan?
Thx im in Copper Mountain Colorado getting ready to shred up the slopes
Oh wow, so jealous man! Have fun up there and stay safe! Heading to Tremblant in a couple weeks so that's about 3 times as big as this one. ^_^
this was really helpful thank you
You're very welcome! :) Glad I could help!
Your videos are awesome!
+Azarel Noah Thank you so much!
Rad! Thanks for the vid ♥
+Blanca You're welcome! ^_^ Thank you!
Thanks Man, This relly helped on my first day
+ROBOT SHORTS You're welcome, really glad it did! Check out my 5 part series on How To S In A Day too if you haven't already. :) Be safe and have fun!
i generally like to look at these videos to help me teaching people i know to snowboard.
good video! =)
Thanks so much, glad I could help! Have you seen my 5 step Tutorial, How To S In A Day? :)
fj5snow nope.
Where do you ride and how often?
Links are in the description for the tutorial. Great way to walk people through the essential steps when introducing them to snowboarding. I used to go to Blue Mountain, Collingwood, ON a lot but that decreased quite a bit in the last few years due to travelling.
Thought this looked like blue mountain!!! Ayyyyy !! Fellow Canadian
haha, you know it! Raptors, Jays... Nice! ^_^
I went skiing only 2 times and both I had so much fun. I don't have the opportunity to go to the mountains often because I live far from them (I live in texas), but I'm looking forward to learn to snowboard (seems like is more fun). I'm going to try these tips. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! If you haven't already, have a look at my 5 part series "How To S In A Day", that should help give you a good foundation to start. :) Good luck and have fun, let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the tips.
You're welcome! :)
he makes it look so easy!!
^_^ Aw thanks! But it took a lot of practice to get there! :)
This was very helpful. Thanks! :)
+Jacob Lau You're very welcome! Thanks for your comment!
I have been skiing for 6 years and yesterday I went snowboarding with my friends for the first time. It was the best experience I've ever had. I'm honestly telling you that snowboarding is more fun than skiing. :D
(fell 7 times - first time on snowboard XD)
Welcome to the club! Glad you tried it out and that you're enjoying it. Perhaps my other tutorial videos could help you out: th-cam.com/play/PLg6E6t5ruDZr3dAFI0BouWqjV_pMDE3eS.html
Thanks for watching and commenting! Be safe and have fun!
Thx for the vid! I'm going for my second time in two weeks, hoping to hit the bigger lifts!
You're very welcome! Have fun and be safe out there! Maybe you'll find my "How To 'S' In A Day" series helpful too.
Nice! Good advice!
R R thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for the tips! I'm going to give snowboarding another try on Friday and I'm feeling a bit nervous. I still need a lot of practice on the S technique, so I'm still very much a newb
Best of luck and have fun! Have you seen my How To S In A Day series already? I recommend you break it down in the same order I specified in my videos and you should do just fine. Let us know how it goes! :)
You make it look so easy.
+Jay Ren Thanks so much! Well, I practice as much as I can. :)
this helped me sooooooo much
Really glad to hear that, thank you!
even after three years of sponsered snowboarding this stuff is still like dope to me, great tips, still using it ;D

+ilina iordanova You're very welcome! If you haven't already, check out my How To S In A Day series as well. Thanks!
im a skier and ive just started to learn how to ride a snowboard. im having trouble staying on in the button/anchor lifts and haven't even tried to get on a chairlift (still in the kiddie slopes). could you make a video about tips on how to comfortably mount and ride the different lifts?
+sheepattsleep Hi there, thanks for your question! Have you had a chance to look at my How To S In A Day series? I actually go over in more detail how to get on and off traditional chair lifts in that series. As for button/anchor lifts, I have to say those are even more difficult to use for getting up the hill as they require better control of your board and core to stay upright and balanced. I actually don't know of any button/anchor lifts at the resorts I frequent around my area, so I'm sorry about that! The best advice I can give is to stay centered on your board as you are being tugged and keep your shoulders above your board. Bend your knees and have a solid stance. Try to keep your base flat and make sure to stay upright. You want the pulling force engaged from the inside of your front leg. Do not tug on the rope with your hands as that will usually lead to losing your balance. I hope that helps!
Great tutorial
Thank you! If you haven't already, please check out my How To S In A Day series as well. :) You may find that even more helpful. Good luck and have fun!
I would've loved to have seen these vids before i went snowboarding last weekend.
Just a quick question, I have a history with my left knee and i ride with my right forward. Is it normal to feel like I'm stressing out that knee so much? It felt really bruised and sore that night and the next day. I remember that I was forcing my board to turn with my back leg a lot in order to go heel and toe.
+skillzxd People tend to lean on their back leg a lot especially when starting out. Back leg fatigue is quite common in snowboarding. Try to distribute your weight more evenly as you ride. That means you'll have to force yourself to lean forward more but eventually it feels more natural. I hope that helps! Check out my How To S In A Day series as well if you haven't already. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips, ive never been on a snowboard and i am starting lessons in a few weeks, so im a big noob
You're very welcome! Check out my 'How to "S" in a Day' series if you're just starting off. Many people find those videos quite helpful. :) Good luck and have fun!
I had trouble with not tilting the board enough, Especially when on my toe-edge. The back edge would catch and flip me down violently over backwards.
+Kauwhaka If you're catching your heel edge while riding on your toe edge, it's likely just your posture. Bend your knees more and stay centered on your board. Bending your knees should help with lifting up your heels because of how your boots and bindings are shaped. Make sure they're on snug but comfortable to maximize the response. If your legs are straight with locked knees, you'll more likely catch your heel edge when riding on your toe edge. Good luck!
If you initiate your turn with pressure on your front foot and then your back, it'll help your back foot from skidding out as much during more of your turns. It looks like you start your turns well but try and force it the rest of the way with your back foot. This will help you carve your turns better instead of scarving them out.
+Gareth Locke Thanks Gareth! I appreciate your tips. I understand that I am promoting skidded turns for beginners in this video as well as my 5 part series How To S In A Day. You can also find my explanation as to why I teach this way in those videos as well. I explain in more detail in my What Is Carving video too. Basically, I want beginners to feel comfortable using both edges in succession as they learn to make consecutive turns (S) but still giving them the immediate opportunity to check their speed after each turn with the skid. Carving is an advanced technique that requires additional control at higher speeds. Most beginners would benefit from a lot more practice before attempting to carve. :)
I was able to do S's because of FJ! Thanks a lot dude!
It was a pleasure teaching you! Quick learner! Let's shred again soon, dude!
I've been surfing for a while and i love it, but now im moving away to a place that there is no beach :( I will indeed have snow, so i was thinking about trying snowboarding which i think might be a little bit similar to the feeling of surfing a wave. This were some really great tips, i really exited to try this, nice video!
kiimiLol Thank you for your comment! If you haven't already, check out the rest of my 101 series on how to S in a day. Many have found it quite useful when transitioning from other board sports. I still have yet to try surfing, on my bucket list! :)
fj5 ok i'll be sure to check that out, and you should! It's lots of fun and also a grat exercise :)
kiimiLol Now, to just get myself to an ocean with surf waves! ^_^
He sounded so professional until he said keep that bum down😂
haha, well I have to bring it down to a casual level sometimes. ^_^
thank u! i have trouble today in the slopes :D hope this helps
Hey! Check out my How To S In A Day series if you haven't already. I think it would help you as well. :) Good luck and have fun! Let us know how it goes.
Nice narrative
Thanks!
Going to Snowboard for the first time tomorrow, which is odd, since I am from Switzerland :) I hope this guide helps me
+It's Magic. I Ain't Gotta Explain Shit. Switzerland, nice! I'm jealous! Still no snow here in Toronto. I hope your day went well. How'd it go?
+fj5snow Oh the first day was very difficult lol :) I fell about 50 times that day, trying to drive curves.I went the day after Silvester again, and it was okayish, couldn't really Snowboard that good but was getting there. And yesterday I went Snowboarding again and it just clicked, no troubles whatsoever, all it really took was to overcome the fear of gaining speed while Snowboarding some steep paths. :)
Here's a picture of the area I was in yesterday, it's called "sedrun" www.xup.in/dl,11769528/Area.JPG/
+Space Pigeon Nice to hear! Fear is definitely one of the biggest hindrances when snowboarding. I would recommend getting more comfortable on your edges first before jumping right into high speed carving. ^_^ Wow, that picture, what an awesome place to shred!
Weight on the front foot? I've heard to put your weight onto the back foot because it gives you more control
+Jake Golle My front foot comment is for when you're turning while going down a slope, switching from one edge to the other, so that you can easily maneuver your back leg around you. When you're riding on powder, that's when you're usually sitting back a bit and applying your weight on your back foot.
Hi fj5. Thanks for all your videos! I just purchased a sims 161 all mountain board. This will be my first time but I am very experienced with gravity influenced sports. I'm 185 lbs, 5ft 9inches and have a size 9 boot. I plan on riding like a soul surfer would a wave, just cruising like in this video you have. With learning some jumps ( getting some air). Do you think this board will be to fast given my weight of 185lbs?
Hey Tony, thanks for your comment/question! It's not so much that the 161 length means the board will go faster, it just means the longer length will be more stable at higher speeds than a shorter board. However, the extra length does mean it will be harder to turn which isn't really friendly to new riders. You generally want to follow the weight range specified for the board by the manufacturer and I normally recommend being on the shorter end of that range if you're a beginner to make turning a bit easier. I hope that helps, best of luck! Check out my Snowboarding 101: How To "S" In A Day series if you haven't already. :)
Thanks so much, I work at a sporting good store part-time and was able to get this snowboard for 51.00 which retailed for 329.99 so if I exchange it thier is only one other board in the size you advised me on but the front of the board is separated a little ( the layers of wood has split apart about half an inch and the board is a wide version ( I did like you suggested in another video and tied on boots so I'm a nine which is a little bit smaller than my normal shoe) I guess I'll just exchange it and hope it won't seperate any. Thanks again!
Tony Mendez You're welcome! Oh, I forgot to mention that it will also depend on the conditions. On groomers, length doesn't play as much of a role as on powder where extra length would help heavier riders stay up (float).
I have been trying to board and specially have issues in doing turns , the toe side turn. Unfortunately i dont have the chance that often to practice on snow. Are their some kind of drills that can basically enhance the toe side turning ?
Leaning forward will definitely help you complete the turn. There aren't really any drills that I know of except going out there and doing as many runs as possible. It's all about practice. Check out my other series "How To 'S' In A Day" where I explain the turning process in more detail. Hopefully that will also help!
It seems so easy when you snowboarding :)
Thank you, it took years of practice. :D
I wanna know, how can I move left and right?
+Eduard Rusu Hey, check out my Snowboarding 101 series videos How To S In A Day. I go into much more detail about how to snowboard and it's definitely geared towards beginner riders. I hope that helps! Good luck!
I have a question: My nephew and I have been snowboarding a few times in a local ski hall, but we've never had any lessons. Now what I wonder is: If you learn to turn and break without any trouble by just trying things out and it works, do you still need to get lessons for proper technique or is there not much you can do wrong? I can turn and break but I don't want to learn things the wrong way... Thanks for the amazing video!
Look snowboarding is all about creativity and coming up with your own style so as long as it works you two should be alrigh!
I heard that if you wish to become an instructor, you do need to have a specific technique when riding/turning/carving. Other than that, you can ride however way you wish as long as you're comfortable and confident. Style is definitely personal. :) I do recommend utilizing more of your core when turning as opposed to shifting momentum with arms and the upper body. Thanks for commenting!
Please tell us the model of GoPro that your are using.
+村田真己 Hey, I used the Hero HD (2nd gen GoPro, first HD model).
so u put weight in front at straight line for the back foot to swipe easily, is it the same when you're going very steep and fas toot? b4 i was told to do the wrong thing all the time to have my weight on the back foot, no wonder my legs get tired so quickly
+nico74321 Back leg fatigue is very common in snowboarding, not just for beginners. When going straight on groomers or harder snow, it's best to distribute your weight evenly between both legs. For easier turning on groomers, you want to lean on your forward foot so you can easily move your back leg. It's a little different on soft powder snow as you need to keep your nose up to avoid catching the nose of the snowboard on the snow and flipping forward. I hope that helps!
Cool video, and you have a really nice voice
+Leonardo da Vinci Thank you so much! :)
Oh hey im a noob only started today like anything i can imagine that this takes time but just wondering on average how long it roughly takes until i get a feel for it?
+JAMIE NEWMAN When I teach beginners, most of the time they reach a point where they're self sufficient after just a couple hours. It varies for different people though as some of my friends took a couple/few days to get used to it. I find athletic types with strong core balance and faster reflexes tend to learn a lot faster. Make sure to check out my How To S In A Day series and follow that in order. That should definitely help. Keep safe, best of luck, and have fun!
Hi!
Amazing video bro :).What are binding angles?
Thank you! You can change the orientation of your bindings by rotating the binding around the central base plate disc. You can have them both face slightly forward toward the nose, you can have one slightly forward and the other 0 (sideways), or how I like it, duck feet so the front foot slightly forward toward the nose and the back foot slightly toward the back or tail (12/-12 degrees). I hope that helps!
fj5snow Thank you bro for tips.Which angle is a good for carving ?
berkerces Some people like to have both feet face forward, especially when riding an alpine board. It's all a matter of preference and depends on your snowboard as well. If you're just starting out, I recommend riding duck feet centered stance. Check out my 'How to "S" in a day' series for more tips!
About to start boarding at the age of 32. Cant wait
+JamulaJura It's all good! Welcome to shredding! ^_^ Be safe and have fun! Check out my How To S In A Day series for more detailed tutorials. :) Thanks!
I remember how many times I was falling until I finally learned how to snowboard... Good old days :) But now it's pure pleasure to go up the mountains and snowboard on some off piste! I actually made some videos of me snowboarding this winter, so if you want, you can check them out :)
Haha, it's a tough start for many of us. Thanks for sharing! Keep on shredding!
Awesome video!!! Forgive the grammar police for coming out, but the word 'progress' is often mispronounced as was in the end of your awesome video. 'Progress' is a noun indicating a thing accomplished (which is what I think you meant) and 'progress' is a verb meaning to move forward in motion. Sorry, grammar police in me. AMAZING video - thank you!!!!!
Jennifer LaMond :) thanks for watching and commenting! As for my grammar, I believe I said, "The more runs you put in, the faster your progress." Yes, I used it and pronounced it as the noun (could have also said progression). I emphasized the first syllable 'praw' (noun) as opposed to the second 'gress' (verb).
"... the faster your progress." (n) - what I said.
"... the faster you'll progress." (v) - what I could have said alternatively.
I think I meant to say "your" but it sounds like "you'll". Hehe, oops! ^_^
What's the move you do in 02:44 - 02:49? And how can I do that without falling?
It's a spinning tail butter. You have to hold a tail press and continually switch edges while spinning down the slope. How do you not fall? haha, well you have to practice it until it becomes comfortable for you. It took me quite a bit of time to get it. I started pretty slow and eventually was able to spin faster with more practice. You could start trying to spin without doing a press so you can get used to switching edges quickly. You need to practice your tail press separately as well. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
coming from skiing and long boarding, just waiting on snow
Nice! We're all waiting, haha. ^_^ Super excited for next season!
What bindings angles you have, plz reply
Kerryl Voitehovschi I have mine set at 15/-15 since my stance is fairly wide, but I normally recommend 12/-12 for beginners.
How do you figure out what bindings beginners should you? Mid or toe straps?
You generally want a soft flexible binding for a beginner as it is more forgiving for beginners when learning to balance on a board. Budget is also a huge factor. Stiff higher end bindings are for more advanced riders as they provide better response. I prefer the feel of toe cap straps as they really do a great job at keeping your foot in place in the binding and I find them more responsive as well. Sometimes this may not be possible if you have really large feet/boots for your binding and the straps might not be long enough. Good luck!
Thanks for the response.
How long have you been learning to achieve this level? You're so gooddddd!
+Auclefi Dako Thanks so much! ^_^ But I've still got a long way to go with my progression. I've been riding since 2010. I didn't go that often at first but on my 3rd and 4th season I averaged about 25-30 days and all that practice really helped me get better.
stay gangsta boy! 4 eva!
killa
+gangstaboyfoevakilla yeeeee boiiii!
hey! are your boots supposed to stick out of the board? because mine sticks out about 1 inch
No they are not, they are most likely gonna touch the snow when you're turning on your toeside.
Generally, you don't want your boots to stick out much or at all but really it depends on your board size and boot size. If you have large feet, it's pretty hard to avoid. You could also try rotating your stance more. Maybe you can also try adjusting your bindings to center your foot better.
going snowboarding for my first time ever in February could the motions be comparable with a wake board?
+Matthew Moskow Hey, unfortunately I've never tried wake boarding though it sounds like a lot of fun. I imagine balancing would be fairly similar utilizing your core to maintain stability. I would say that snowboard edges on snow, however, are quite unique compared to other board sports. I'm excited for you! Check out my other series, "How To S In A Day" for even more tips. Hopefully you'll find those videos helpful as well. Best of luck and have fun! Be safe!
+Matthew Moskow very similar… more so than skating or surfing
+Matthew Moskow a watched a video of a pro surfer that was trying to snowboard and after the first day he was like " damn that's hard, nothing like surfing" :))
Yeah,I know the saying practice makes perfect.
+Eduard Rusu Makes a world of difference. :)
All do respect,but what are bumps?When you say low centre of gravity,to keep our bump down,what does that mean?And the part with soft knees to absorb the little bumps,what is that?
When I talked about low centre of gravity, I actually said, "Keep your BUM down." as in your butt/bottom/rear end. ^_^ A lot of beginners tend to stick out their butts high as they bend at the waist instead of bending their knees. And the part about soft knees to absorb the little bumps, it's because the snow isn't perfectly groomed flat all the time. The more people ski or snowboard over the snow, it gets rough and choppy with little random mounds of snow. As you ride over this, it can feel pretty bumpy. I hope that explains it a bit better! :)
Nice tips bro i consider myself a semi experienced rider and hit some amatuer or larger jumps and love big mountains with glades. But what you say is exactly what i say to new riders. I really like ur point on the "react to your terrain" Such a huge part of snowboarding. Look ahead and see what your getting into, always plan your route. And too add to ur vid take ur time on icy terrain no need to rush. If its icy, try and stick to the sides especially as a boarder. Skiers like to cut back and forth in the middle of trails but they have sharper edges? Better Control? I'm not sure but keep to the powder they kick up on the sides. This is directed to Eduard Rusu, and as fj5 reiterated keep that ass/rear end/glutes/can/poop shooter down and legs bent Some terrain is unforgiving but if u expect it and stay loose you'll ride right through. I realized after 6 years of snowboarding as with anything else i guess, confidence is key. Just don't go for the 30 or 50 foot booters or handrails until you know how to bail safely. As he said in the video practice makes perfect. Last point, practice switch riding thats what im on, Take runs from top to bottom as switch/goofy stance. I hate wasting runs and the trip up but i'm starting to get much more comfortable spinning in the air and doing 180s or 360s on small trail jumps. Not so much beginner tips but something to keep in mind if you wish to further ur snowboarding level. But most important HAVE FUN AND ENJOY UR TIME ON WHATEVER MOUNTAIN U HIT. And know you can visit so many places through snowboarding or skiing or skate skiing etc etc etc. Sorry for the rant but there's nothing like being on top of a mountain and flying down it whether it be straight speeding down or making your own trail through the woods. Stay safe and shred on.
Thanks for the great additional info, MrFluffstuff420! I completely agree, switch riding is so key to improving as a rider. I too still practice my switch a lot and I agree, did wonders for my 180s and 360s. You just feel so much more confident as a rider once you develop switch and I find your body just naturally counterbalances on its own. There were many times where I thought I'd bail hard but for some reason I came out of it unscathed... definitely attribute that to switch practice!
what snowboarding peaks are you at
+Lily pearson I usually hit up Blue Mountain in Collingwood, ON but will try to head out to Tremblant and Vermont from time to time. If I'm up for a treat, I like to head west to Whistler. I would love to go back to the Alps one day too.
do u lean your weight on back or front of your foot?
+nico74321 If you're going straight, you want to keep your weight centered on your board as much as possible. It's very common for beginners to sit on their back leg a lot, especially on powdery days to keep the nose up on the snow. This generally leads to back leg fatigue and we all get that. Most of the time, beginners ride on groomers so again, try to stay centered. If you're turning, for beginners I recommend putting more weight on your front leg. This way you are able to lift your back leg easier as you bring it around you to complete the turn. Hope that helps! Good luck! Check out my How To S In A Day series if you haven't already. :)
Thx for the tips! I will definitely try that out when im on the snow
been boarding for about 9 months (Indoor snow centre near me) Biggest problem I always encounter is body sharp Turn my shoulders ,get out of shape and lose balance ,I guess it's a common problem for newbies
It does take some time to get used to the proper posture to execute turns. You might find my How To S In A Day series helpful, if you haven't already seen the videos. Let me know what you think and how it goes!
hehe, you're talking about keeping shoulders over board, but in the Video you do a lot of counter-Rotation instead of clean turns.
+Sandro “Schlitzohr” Ineichen Thanks for your comment, I guess I need to follow my own advise better. :p
Thank you !
Was going to say the same thing eheh :) Totally of the board there.
+Rui Pinto Well, I tried for the most part hahaha. Got a little bumpy there. :p
Yeah, I was just starting to progress into more proper techniques when I filmed this. The tips hold true but the riding definitely needed improvement. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks !
You are Great Teacher, i would subscribe 2 times if i could ! XD
+WOWITSAWESOME Thank you so much! Appreciate your comment! I do have other channels! ;)
I love skiing and I tried snowboarding last year but I failed because I kept falling on my butt... I hope these tips work, thx
+cassidy carey If you haven't already, check out my How To S In A Day series, you might find those videos helpful. Thanks and good luck!
fj5snow okay, I'll check them out
+cassidy carey the first day you will fall, a lot, you wont even turn maybe, thats 100% normal, you have to get confidence and take it easy, never give up
Alexei Kafe thank you
I really want a snowboard
Why not buy one? :p What's keeping you?
I was so scared you were just gonna go flying. It was so hard to not scream every once in a while
+Wow So Random ^_^ No worries, I'm A-OK! I practiced a lot. :)
Damn I want to snowboard so bad, one day I'll get to though
What's keeping you from snowboarding? I can't wait for this season to start too!
fj5 Never seen snow, lived in Florida my whole life lol
^_^ Oh, ok that makes sense now. haha Well I highly recommend you try it out at least once in your life. :) Make a nice trip out of it!
Is wearing snow pants mandatory or is just jeans okay?
wet pants = cold pants. Jeans are not waterproof, snowpants are :) Do w/e you want
If you are confident you won't fall and/or get your pants wet, and if your jeans are warm enough for long outdoor exposure, then you don't need snow pants. I've seen really good riders just wear jeans. It's up to you. :)
He's a beginner. The amount of sitting is enough to get your butt wet XD
bart van willigen haha yeah, you definitely don't want to sit on snow in jeans. :p
I can ski now I'm snowboarding in pei Canada going to brookvail
+Hayden Nice! Have a great time and be safe!
I tried snowboarding 2 years ago and I broke my arm. I want to try it again this winter, and I wanted to ask you can I learn to snowboard without a teacher? Can I learn by myself? I have some basics, a friend helped me develop a stance and taught me the basics. thanks in advance, good video :D
i broke my wrist instead, but then i learned alone :)
Alessandro Giaccaglia i meant to say wrist, I did the same hahah, thanks
you're welcome :)
I think if you have a pretty good sense of balance and strong self motivation, you'll do just fine. Have a look at my 5 part series How To S In A Day. If you follow my steps in order and ensure you are comfortable before you move onto the next steps, you should get the basics down within a couple hours. The rest of the day will just be practice. :) Good luck and have fun, let us know how it goes!
im gonna see your videos too ;)
Thanks, Evan! (I couldn't reply directly to your original comment) Baiting?
There a guy in my class named evan who snowboard😂😂😂 I love snowboarding thx for the video!!!!
Lilian Mac Donald You're welcome! Have fun! :)
fj5snow
Even though I didn't watch your videos, I was able to learn how to S by myself in about 3 hours of snowboarding for the first time :P used to ski for 12 years, but hadn't touched anything in 8 years. Maybe that gave me an advantage!
Austin Jackowski Awesome, great stuff! Welcome to snowboarding!
Is it kinda like skateboarding
The similarities would just be in the core balance control and sideways stance but the introduction of the snowboard edge makes for a very different experience than skateboard wheels/trucks. I hope that helps!
fj5snow thx for the help
how llong have you been snowbparding?
I tried it in high school once a long time ago but I really started in 2010. Was super obsessed my first few years but it's been harder to get out on the slopes these past few years because of work.
Thanks for the quick response! your videos are really helpful
I try to reply as often as I can. :) And thanks, I'm glad you think so!
*perfect practice makes perfect
+Bryan Delarmente Yes it does. :)
practice makes perment
if u practice wrong ur whole life its going to be hard to learn the correct way
You're absolutely right! It's definitely hard to break bad habits... but not impossible. ^_^
What is he holding so he cannot fall?
+Eduard Rusu It's just the camera, my balance is what's keeping me from falling. ^_^
Before i was a noob but now im a pro thanks
That's awesome to hear! Glad my videos helped! :)
blue mountain
+zach krys Yup! Going there on Monday for my first day this season. :)
I think i'm about to hurt myself this weekend in mammoth. Lol
Awww, your first time? I'm jealous you get to ride Mammoth! Have a look at my Snowboarding 101 Series - How To S In A Day. That should give you a good starting point. Just be patient and follow the steps, you should be fine! Let us know how it goes!
fj5snow i did ok actually. I just got so exhausted then that's where i started falling. Legs hurts man... hahaha. Very fun
Nice to hear man, keep it up! Yeah, fatigue is a big factor in the beginning but it gets better with practice (less falling, less energy used getting up). :)
Like long boarding
Yes, many people have said that! :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
This feel when you don't have enough money to go to the ski station even if it's only at 150km of your town :'(
Keep saving, man! :-/ Even if it takes years.
+JustMan64 I'm sure we all went through it... except of course for those whose parents ski or snowboard... lucky!!!
Don't worry, I'm the same :'(
Gravity? more like normal force with low friction
+Mani Cho Normal force? What do you mean?
+Mani Cho Oh right, thanks for the definition, that takes me back to Physics class. hahaha I would say that all three forces: gravity, normal, and friction, play a role in your momentum as you snowboard down a slope... though gravity is the main one. ;)
Yea, i didnt mean to be a dick about it..
