Also, if you don't like the gear you can usually sell it for the same price or more in the season.
You need to make a video going down the mountain with a beginner board. Literaly just 2 pieces of rubber holding your feet in . That would be so funny
Guess you won’t be dropping into the Christmas chute at Alyeska??
can you please reply to me
Can you review the Gilson homebrew all mountain hybrid camber snowboard
That’s my friends that you gave that board to and you made her day then. She still talks about this video so thank you again for being awesome!
Nice😊
Hope she loves to ride and welcome to the snowboard family!
Does she still have the board?
This video goes to show that technique is so much more important than gear. But also good gear never hurts.
totally agree
💯
🤘🏼
This should be the mantra for every sport that exists tbh
Although as a beginner good gear will be more beneficial to building a solid foundation rather than compensating through low quality or poorly made equipment
I bought an old rental board (w/bindings) from a local shop for $60 and then spent 200 on boots. I highly recommend this strategy
Boots seemed to be lowly prioritized, but can easily make or break the whole experience. Would've been cool to see Buckhouse try the board with his boots.
did the same thing, brand new K2 boots and old as hell used board. No regrets
board from friend+ binding from friend+ 280 boa boots=👌👌👌
This is the way
Insoles are super important too.... $50 soles in cheap boots are better than nothing lol
I feel like youre better off buying a used board for the same price, from a reputable manufacturer
Or on sale… I got a new top of the line handmade board from an American small business on a black Friday sale for less than 300 brand new. I think it was like 230-240+ tax and shipping. Asymmetrical wide twin with all the bells and whistles.
As long as it isn’t beat to hell. I would 100% agree with this
Ya, I picked up last year's Jibsaw for like 225, new, in September. Needed a solid hard snow board and it is surprisingly good.
@@HeyUncleAdid it include the bindings and boots?
@@kayla114 it did not… but my old ones are still working for now. Board only.
Fwiw the way you rode made that setup look like double its cost. You’re genuine, dude, thanks so much for the shoutout and for making all our day on the mountain!
Thanks bro! You rock 🙏🏼
As someone who bought this exact same setup as his first snowboard I'll throw my 2 cents in. I'm 6'8" and a size 13 shoe, though at the time I thought I was a 14. I bought the 170 W (at least it's somewhere in that range) with the 14 boot. When I got it, there was an ungodly amount of toe drag. After 2 trips I bought new size 13 boots so that they'd fit better and because the boots were trash (as you all saw.) After getting new boots the board rode okay. I learned my first indy on it, which was cool. But as I got better I noticed that it didn't hold it's edge well, even as my form got way better. An alright board for beginners to be honest, but you NEED different boots.
Dang your tall
why was this unironically some of the best footage of you shredding lmfao
🤣😂
My boy got this board for his first season and ended up getting a new one the next season because he progressed so fast and wanted to get a name branded board but he loved it and he helped him progress fast
I started on a 150 dollar snowboard set and i rode it for 3 seasons, i learnt to ride very good and just upgraded the board, you can defienetlystart on something like this to see if you like it.
💯
As someone who is just starting out on an actual snowboard, I have this whole set up that I bought secondhand. It does the job for me so if you’re trying to get into the game, this is a hell of a deal and not a bad beginner board.
A year later, just seeing this and clicked because I love snowboarding (and was curious about what an AmZn setup would be like)... But seeing you give her the board, on her birthday at that, was Awesome!!! You Rock!
Giving away a fairly decent beginners board to someone on (near) their birthday is like the perfect capstone to this video
It's my first season with frequent access to the mountain and I thrifted a full setup for $120. I rode it a few days until I was sure I wanted to board and then just got nice bindings/boots. I think as long as a board is the right size and decent condition its fine. New boots were a big upgrade though.
where do you thrift boards bro??
shoutout to the camera man on this one damn that’s some skill fr, amazing shots
Hit Keystone today, and I saw someone with this EXACT set up. The boots looked cold, but he was gettin it!
I bet the boots were cold! I was happy it was such a nice day when I road it lol
Cold feet is the one thing I cannot handle up there. I’ve shred in t shirts, thin layers. But if my feet get cold, I’m done.
Going snow boarding at wolf
Creek next weekend . Can’t wait . Watching you gets me excited . Going to buy my own setup soon. Tired of renting them out
7:54 - 8:11
That was clean as hell dude
When I got my first board and boots I got them off of Facebook marketplace and honestly, they work fine and had the board for 3 years. I just out grew the boots. Just got my first job so I'm planning on buying a brand new board this season.
No idea how those boots felt or did the job but I can tell you in all honesty, I still ride with my 1994 pair of Burton 2-Tongue boots and love them! I love the flexibility that absolutely zero boots today can provide. I love your videos of ranking ski resorts around the United States!
They're flexible because they are almost 30 years old😂😂😂
@MyFirstInstinct My boots were flexible out of the box but have broken in in their time lol. I miss the old snowboarding days when style was more important than how many times you can spin or high jump. I'm old school like the old days like Jeff Brushie and Craig Kelly were top competitors.
That is so rad!!
mogul run to grab was nasty!!!! shoutout your camera man for this one! @8:01
Cody kills it!!
@@JohnathanBuckhousethat was movie quality!
Great way for someone who doesn’t have access or knowledge of used ski/snowboard swaps.
Nice video! Gives some people a cheaper option for just starting out. Love that you have it away at the end too!
🙏🏼
First board I ever got was that system board set up you showed and for a beginner it’s really good and it holds up well. I’ve given it to several people to learn on
Nice!!
I'm just glad you didn't kill yourself. 😆 This was a great idea for a video. Awesome job as always Johnathan and Cody!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother!!
Shout out to you for being a gentlemen to someone who fell... appriciate that
🙏🏼
And a skier, no less. Unheard of!
For a beginner buying their first board, here's a better option. There are a lot of REALLY good boards available on the used market, cheap. Lots of people buy new gear, ride it a couple times, if at all, and decide to sell it. I haven't bought a board from a store in over 20 years, have a quiver of top of the line gear and never spent more than $200-300 on a "used" board. Most were still brand new. A used board and bindings are great for a beginer. When you find one, just research if it's a good model for your skill set and size. Boots can be purchased used too but proper fitment is critical so of the three items, they're the most important to not cut corners on. A good boot fitter at a shop could be the difference between having a great time on the slope and being in constant pain.
Great video Buckhouse! I already own a full setup but still fun to watch! you always make your videos appealing to all viewers!
Yes! So stoked on the feedback and that you enjoyed 🙏🏼
Thanks for the review. Good to keep the manufacturers honest. My choice was to get a last year Nitro Prime Raw for €200 and then add Union Forces and Burton Ruler BOAs (that were obviously a lot more combined than this setup, but I can probably use the bindings and boots with my next board as well).
💯 you can! That was a good move
pretty honest review id never rock one but you show that someone that goes out a couple times a year its not a bad board
It's funny because I constantly see people asking "should I buy xxx used board" on reddit. and I myself HAVE tried those Amazon Boots. [which yes they SUCK so much.] So i recommended that snowboard package to somebody the other day with the [do not get the boots] part. as a starting thing which will work for a while. just upgrade later, but do not skimp on the boots. get good boots.
Always good boots!
Love the guy repping the recess jacket
🙌🏼
With all the holiday sales, I was about to splurge on a new setup. After watching this. Im gonna keep riding my 20 yr old gear. I just cruz down the mountain nothing crazy.
Loved this and sickest edit that board has ever seen !!!
Hahaha Thanks man!
Thanks for the insight man this honestly helped with buying a snowboard for myself, god bless
I got a rossignol sashimi xv with a pro deal for $300, its a $700 board and vans linerless boots for $60 with a rep promo code then now drive pros for $250. My set up this year is a disgusting surfy pow slasher that didnt kill my bank account. I'm stoked. 😊
This board combo is better than the one you dont have. This board has more potential than any casual first maybe 2 year boarder can push on it.
💯
Went to Keystone last year for the first time. Such a blast! Wish I lived in a place that got snow.
i have this exact setup, great for getting into it and if you're not comfortable with used gear. I'm definitely going to upgrade the boots as they're trash, but everything else is good for the money and who theyre targeting
Bro your camera guy is gnarly 🔥
💯
having an insta360 camera makes it easy, trust me.
I've been renting, and I was going to buy an Amazon board, but i went to snowboard surplus store in SLC instead. I managed to get a used Ride Wildlife 2022 with bindings for $200. 100% was worth waiting!
I loved the new boot goofin comment. That show was amazing
I learned to snowboard on a cheap board. After buying a burton and having a strap break and switching back. I got hurt on the cheap board. Couldn't do anything with it. Was great to learn balance, but when you have barely to no skill at all the board will help greatly. My personal experience.
I just buy used. I spent 120 for a 145 lamar with bindings. At that price there's no stress sending jumps over rocks or hitting side hits on non-powder days. I got new 150 dollar boots from my dad but my buddies have been running used boots for a long time and they've gotten some good deals. Plus when you buy the no name actually eating a rock or a tree is more likely to cause cracks or even snap the board.
6:05 - 6:15 was soo satisfying 🤙🏼
That actually answered my question, THANKS MAN
I am a TOTAL beginner (my profile pic, is one of those half-day intro to ski/snowboard packages here in Europe)
I was WONDERING about a starter set from Amazon
I think I will buy the set (got decent boots), then use the board for a year or two and just rip it up.
That is kinda what I did, personally what I would suggest doing is after a season or when you feel comfortable get a new pair of bindings and replace those. The bindings I had on my board were almost identical to the one in the video and was the next obvious weak-point. The board is honestly good to keep for a good while if you are fine just replacing the bindings with a good new set, my next upgrade is a new board as I have a really nice pair of boots and bindings with my cheap board. Just keep in mind that you will have to take care of the board yourself (Waxing, and sharpening the edges). Just wanted to give my thoughts on this, and what I am doing myself.
Honestly. If you are going out of state and don't own a kit buying this and getting it shipped to your hotel might be your cheapest option. Renting boots or getting cheap boots ain't that bad. Donate it when you are done and feel good about yourself and save money.
Donating the board was the best part 🙌🏼 Love the idea!
From what I am understanding so far is that the Boots matter the most, then the bindings, then the actual board itself. When I think of a shape for a snowboard it literally is this Amazon board but with cool designs.
Tons of haters in the comments. For 300$ what did u expect? Full kit this is incredible. This dude is putting this board through way more than it’s meant to be used for. This is meant to learn of flats. Greens and blues. And i know it’s absolutely perfect for someone learning. Stop hating. This is perfect for a ton of people I know.
Just came across your videos a couple of days and enjoy your vids! Love the Boba fett coat!
I love how he said,”(So you don’t have to)”
😂
Just bought the goggles!! Can't wait to ride them in like 2 weeks! So dope, going to shred hard this season
Yes! Stoked you got a pair!
I don't want the setup. But watching you ride makes me want it.
What jacket are you wearing? It looks cool!
Dc boba Fett jacket
That cameraman has to be a pro at snowboarding
your the best youtuber ever
😃
Thank you!
Dude! Those boots that came with the package are the boots I ran last year 😂
Nooooo 🤣😂
I''m 72 and only want to carve the grooms. I like to board 3X week, doing 8 runs as I live 20 minutes from the park. I ride one direction. I want comfort, style and control. Currently riding a Ride Kink from 2010.
Start to finish that was rad AF. Good on ya m8.
That's so awesome of you man. So cool
you seem like a. really amazing person....your'e an inspiration ❤
Glad I watched the whole video. Good stuff
Purchasing my first setup now! Got a 2020 nitro prime screen and salamon bindings, haven't gotten boots yet, so far I've gotten really rare deals, only spent 220$ so far on the set up, hoping to keep the boots at around 200-250
my dad got a full set from The House and it was only 300 for boots board and bindings, it was made by a company called chamonix.
"no boots" was the real gift
😂
I wanna be like you when I’m older ur so good at snowboarding
Dope ending!!!!
Stoked you enjoyed 🙏🏼
@JohnathanBuckhouse hell yea bro!!! Waiting for you and the crew to come out to Snowbowl AZ this year! Hopefully we get that ElNino winter that was promised!!!
I just came across you account and I love snowboarding but then I saw the keystone gondola and now you getting a sub
I feel like people should just wait for a summer sale. I bought my burton board brand new with bindings for only $100 more and it comes with a bag too
I started with a used Burton Custom board that had Nitro bindings with 150 Euro...
Let's say I learned the hard way with that board...
Anyway, better to start with used boards than cheap ones
Same. The usual snowboarder/skier goes into the mountains for a week. It does not worth it to put 1k+ into new euipment for just putting it into the shelf for 359 days a year. My used Burton custom X cost around 150€, my bootes and binding additional 400 as i always wanted to have new boots.
Thats the best way for those who ride just a week in a year in my opinion.
UR SO GOOD HOW LONG U BEEN SNOWBOARDING
15 years
10/10 camera man
your a straight up gangster for that
Thanks 🙏🏼
hi new to your channel. fkn looove how well filmed this is! so neat, fkn shreds man
I bought a black and white board for my first one (still have it ) and it was great I did buy different boots I just got binding board but it worked great even better than the boards I’d rent
I’m a casual and only go a few times a year, but the set up looked pretty good for the price
What a coincidence I have the same board and am giving it away to a friend.
Nice!
Great video. Hopefully someone can help you with the complete Ski set up next!
Yes 🙌🏼
The cameraman is even more skilled for keeping up
that was a great video my dude!
liner-less boots are sold a lot, they just offer more flex if thats your thing, some people prefer it
Your cameraman is incredible
💯
Dude, loved your video! and just proved the snowboard really desn't even matter when you're a pro! hahahaha
Thrift stores can be good too. I got my boots, board and bindings for $55 at my thrift store. The board is big for me but everything else is awesome and less than a rental for 1 day.
This Video was dope especially the Giveaway!
I first got introduced in the sport back in 2019, even before officially boarding the place i was staying had a cheap board and work boots and started off with a little slope and then months later boom actually getting on the bunny slopes. Years passed my friends got into it and i wanted to go with them. Just last Year i got the Aura Pro2s, Entry Level helmet, pants with my own money and stuff ive been given were goggles and gloves.
As of right now im super hyped to get back out there!! My car is dialed, got my own board/bindings, the anytime pass Big Bear, and the whole WTAPS x Vans Snow Kit oh and also two GoPros.
IM SO READYY AHHHH!!!
Yes 🙌🏼 I am so pumped for you man! Enjoy the season!
@@JohnathanBuckhouse thank you 🙏
A most interesting experiment!
Yes 🙌🏼
Respect to the camera man
Which brands are currently the best for gear (boots, bindings, board)? Haven't been on a board in about 8 years. Previously rode for about 15 years. Trying to get back in the game.
Symbolic is made by Burton, that is why you got the Burton sticker
Oh no way 🤣😂
Great video idea! Props ! Wish we could all give away our old decks to people that would actually appreciate them. Help the sport grow JB! 🙌🙌
All about helping the sport grow! Maybe one day you will find someone that needs it!
im looking for an affordable board if youre in the southeast
W camera man
💯
it'd be a good "first board", and better than a rental by the look of it. it looks like my first board (a generic "the house" complete), it wouldn't surprise me if it was made in the same factory.
I’ve never bought any gear before I’m trying to figure out what size boot I should get I wear a 10.5 in shoes should I get the size 9 or 10 with this kit i definitely think I’ll get it to start on
If you can go into a ski shop and try boots on. That is the best way! The only gear I think you should go into a shop for. Even if you are going on a trip. Buy them on the trip. Getting the wrong boots will ruin your day, trip, and season!
Looking for a cheap snowboard my son just started getting into it and I'd love to learn with him any suggestions
hi i bought the board im in mn Minnesota we have no snow ive ben waiting for snow
Sorry!
I bought a similar setup from the house for 300. It was chamonix branded.
Rode it for 4 years, was good for what it was, cheaper than renting. Your better off buying something used of Facebook marketplace
💯
honestly its probably cheaper to have a new one of these delivered to ski destination than rentals, or paying to fly with board.. risk losing it..etc.. doesn't look bad
How do you like, never catch an edge? I can't even go down a slight-slope almost level strip without just wiping out LOL
A lot of practice! You got this 💪🏼
My k2 afterblack has a problem turning at slow speed just gotta send it.
🤣😂
Your so good I want to get to your level one day lol
One do you can!
Thanks
