What about us older dudes that are getting back into Snowboarding 🏂? My first board was a Generics (red/yellow) that I bought in Germany 🇩🇪. Any pro tips for buying new gear, etc?
@@ClosestNearUtopia Actually, just got back from Keystone. Ive been making some good progress. Went down a blue on purpose today lol. Still getting up like champ though.
@@creekboi7 sounds great bro! Good to see progress💪 are you ready for some freestyle and get even more board feel? Its the way to go imo, atleast until you can do something at the park;)
I had to learn all of that on my own. Trial and error I suppose. My #6 is when things get sketchy and you' think you might fall, get lower on your board. Makes it harder to fall, and when you do fall it hurts less because there's less distance between your butt/face and the ground and sometimes if you're tucked in you can just roll right back onto your feet without stopping.
@@jeffstewart4162 big fact I went my 2nd time last week and didn't get low bc I was in my head the whole time lmao but my first time I was low and some how shredding toe side and heel but this time only heel because I wasn't low enough
This could also be an issue if you practice getting low for no reason. The people I think are good snowboarders are usually standing up straight, controlling their center a gravity as needed. If you always think you're going to fall, your stance is bracing lower and lower when it's unnecessary.
2:23 being worried about gettin wet just sitting in the snow, when I'm about to deepdive the snow when I eventually catch the edge. thanks for advice ;)
Tip number 1.5: learn how to push and ride switch, so you can go up the chairlift in your regular stance and switch stance equally. This reduces the cumulative strain that can build up on one leg and cause overuse injuries if you ride say 50+ days in a season.
I suggest to always go switch whenever in a non chair lift, especially if your doing them multiple times a day, strain will balance out with riding, giving rest to pain whenever in the other stance.
And when riding the chair, if you’re riding goofy foot, get on the left side of the chair. For a regular stance rider, get on the right side. This will minimize crossing the tails of your boards
Moral of the story.... snowboarding isn't for the obese. I'm a 270lbs guy and consider myself an intermediate rider (blues and some blacks). Hard to strap while the belly is on the way lmao. To eliminate strapping up while standing I ended up getting rear entry bindings (flow nx) and it made life so much easier ;D. Life goals to lose 50lbs by year end lol. Keep on shredding!
How's the weight loss going? Your post was 9 months ago. Should be at least half way through your goal. I'm here to check up on your determination 😂. Remember, just a few lbs a month will still do.
I knew a few of these already, but great to see the refresher. I'm a big fan of putting in while standing up, so I routinely dig a little shelf where I can stay still for a few moments. Thanks for the great video!
Great tips! #2 - wearing a butt pad keeps me bum from getting cold, although I almost always stand when putting my back foot in the binding. Also helps when stopped and waiting for the rest of the group if you're riding with friends that may be a bit slower. Also, when making a shelf, always make certain you aren't spraying somebody else with the snow you're moving around. ;)
I switched to Flow bindings and that changed the game for me, especially for Midwest snowboarding (lots of short runs). A few seconds on the top of the hill, back binding up, you're rolling. Almost parity with the skiers.
My wife just got me some flow bindings for Christmas (yes, I know it’s now Xmas yet. We’re bad at this, but good at marriage) Those things are fantastic, I saved so Much time at the start of the runs. I love ‘em
@@justjuan589 For real. At the top of every one I pass probably the 2-3 chairs ahead of me while they are sitting on the ground strapping in. I love it.
Yesterday was my first day of snowboarding. I loved it. Even if your hot, wear a layer. A long sleeve compression shirt would’ve made today much more comfortable as I am now sunburnt. Up to my elbows and all along my face
Hey I did that first hack instinctively all on my own today lol. I was riding with my instructor and I was like why you just letting it dangle 😆 it's so much more comfy to rest your board on the other foot! Then after that the rest of my genius instincts fell all down hill, literally 😆
Brooooo 🤯 We Brazilians have no snow so we pay a lot to travel to a ski station to get there and just fall after fall hahahah this video help me a lot. I hope next time I do better. Grettings from Brasil!
I just realised that not all chairlifts in the world have some space to rest the board. In Spain every single one has it and its a huge relief cause there are very long lifts
Thanks for the tips! My nephew had a really hard time getting up last year because he had a bit more weight in the trunk, if you know what I mean :P Will definitely try. Also, I'd recommend you to put time stamps in your video so it's easier for people to scan through and go directly to the part of the video that would be most helpful! These types of videos will be watched multiple times for sure!
Hack 6: When beeing unstrapped with the backfoot and you need to cover some distance -> Instead of skating with the backfoot on the frontside edge, simply skate on the backside edge while placing the weight on the heels of the front foot. much more efficient and faster
For #5 the easiest way for me to stand up from sitting is 1. bring the board close to you 2. Lean to your dominant foot 3. Put your hand close to your dominant foot 4. Push up and lean on dominant foot. Works like a charm 🫡
Recently I’ve started just slightly digging my heel side edge downhill to strap in. Apparently I can’t make the shelf because I always end up sliding away before I’m completely strapped in 😂
When you're digging your heel edge in make sure your nose and tail is level across the slope.Once you put pressure on your foot which is already strapped in and if you feel it sliding readjust your nose higher or lower to level the board up.Take your time and practice........
Re tip #1. Resting the sharp edge of your snowboard on the boot will destroy it with time. I have a pair of K2 boots to prove it. Use the rear part of the bindings for this purpose. Ha, ha! I should have listened to the end before posting. Good advice.
Oh to have a chair by yourself… such a dream. This season i rode with a crew that meant we had enough to fill most chair so no stress there. As for straps. Get step ons… problem solved 😂
100% love being able to have “both”feet attached to the board when there is no foot bar. Then take it out right before getting off. Flow style entry for the win.
There is a very important addition to hack#2 It's about safety on a steep slope. it is necessary to make an equally deep shelf in the snow under the second boot. therefore, you push the snowboard to the distance of your stance along the edge and once again make a shelf for the board under your foot, which is strepped up the binding. before strepping the second binding, the snowboard will stand securely on two steps, under each foot.
@@SnowboardProCamp Here are a few that I could think of, but they are a bit more situational. I think you got the main ones, especially the chair lift thing. That is a huge tip to learn that I am always sharing with people! -Tapping heel to get heel back in boot before tightening them -After first tightening a boot, squat a few times then re tighten boots (works best with boa but other lacing can still benefit) -Flipping board over when you want to put it down (if someone is injured on the other side of a roller, you can do this with the high backs up to have it lean at an angle at the top of the roller to make sure people don't run into the injured person until patrol gets there -Using a board to help pull yourself up when hiking steep powder (highback loops become handles to pull) -Use a car snow brush your board before throwing it in your car
Great content, as always, Kevin. I checked your channel for videos on how to get on your board after falling in deep powder, but I have yet to see any videos. Can you share a link or video on how to get back on your board after falling in deep powder? Thank you!
A better chair lift hack is to cross your free foot behind your board foot and rest your heel cup on top of your free foot. Its more comfortable and you don't have to worry about cut stitching or your toe slipping off.
I used to get tire pretty fast on the toe riding because I was closing my knees instead of opening them, my muscle where doing it so naturally, this is great exercise thanks
If you find yourself sitting in the snow a lot, brush the snow off your butt every time you get up! The accumulation of snow just sitting on your pants just wrecks the waterproofness
1. If the lift has footrests, put your board onto that (on your free foot makes your upper leg get pulled into the seat) 2. Solved with Flow step-in bindings 5. I do the roll-over all the time
Depends on where you are. In Michigan, there's not one ski lift with a foot rest bc they don't call for it. It's like a minute ride at the longest for most of them. These tips are helpful for beginners for sure, but not for someone that's been riding for 5, 10, 15, 20 years. You figure alot of this out within the first couple years and he knows that obviously.
Sometimes I found it’s easier to get up by pushing my weight to the back foot and bouncing myself up with the tail, like doing a small Ollie from the ground 😂
yeah, I definitely didn't know any of these... until the third day of my snowboarding 🤣🤣🤣 people will call anything a "hack" these days... like standing up. well, that's a game changer, who would've thought of that?! 🤣🤣🤣
I just started snowboarding again last week since middle school. I got the riding part down. What do you suggest when learning how to carve. I’m having issues clipping edges when going from toe to heel
Hard to say without watching you board. But, when I see people with this issue they are often doing something called counter rotating. Also you will need speed to carve so if you don't have enough speed it's difficult to change edges. Practice flat 360 spins on a green for edge control.
I'll be real, I've only got 10 days TOTAL of snowboarding experience.. I know I love it, and I know ill be back, but the penguin walk is AMAZING😂 never seen that
Amazingly, I learned all these hacks by instincts. When you're about to say what will do, I'm kinda guessing. Even the penguin walk, No one taught me, it's just I got tired walking on foot and removing one strap so I did the penguin walk.
I’ve only went snowboarding once, but I strap up both feet to get off my lift. My lift goes downhill when you get off tho so that’s the only valid reason I do that
In my early years of snowboarding I ruined a couple of gloves with the "#5 grab board standup" trick, the edge of the board cuts into them easily. I almost always just do the roll/standup backwards way, much easier.
Hey can anyone offer advice? My heel edge to toe edge turns are fine, however going from toe edge to heel edge every time I fall hard and bounce on my coccyx and im sick of not being able to walk properly afterwards. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? The one time I didnt fall I overturned and fell upwards. I just panic and can't catch my balance on a heel edge when turning into it. Starting off on a heel edge no problem but turned into it I just can't
You might be leaning forward with your upper body while leaning your lower half & board back. That counterweight can knock you down. I've done that a couple times this season & fallen hard onto my butt and I think that's why it happens! If you lean your weight with your board you should stay balanced
I have a question about board sizing. I’m 120 and 5’9 and riding a 149 at the moment but I slip out on groomed runs/ firm snow. Guessing it’s a good park board now. It is 4 inches below my chin and I’m wondering where a all mtn board should line up
Just got that same exact jacket but the sage and white one a couple days ago. Clicked the thumbnail specifically cuz I saw you got the grey and black one. How you been liking it?

What about us older dudes that are getting back into Snowboarding 🏂? My first board was a Generics (red/yellow) that I bought in Germany 🇩🇪. Any pro tips for buying new gear, etc?
Hack (1a) make sure you get an outside seat when loading the lift so you have the room to have your board sideways on the lift.
*Hack 6:* the more you fall the better you get at getting up on your heel edge. I'm a pro at getting up now. Don't ask about my riding though.
Classic 👍
How about your riding!?😂

directional +/+ stance has left the chat
in the Alpes in chairlifts you have some sort of a foot peg, that helps a lot to rest your Snowboard on.
Excellent!! This concerns me every year, but I’ve asked and nobody had a solution. I’ll try your advice
yes this penguin walk is great and need to learn. I once saw a really good snowboarder who was basically flying with the penguin.
Funny, penguins can't fly. Only when they're on a snowboard.
And when riding the chair, if you’re riding goofy foot, get on the left side of the chair. For a regular stance rider, get on the right side. This will minimize crossing the tails of your boards
Good advice!
Hate crossing tails hahaha
I'm riding goofy and I prefer to be on the right side of the chair lift because I don!t want people behind my back
@@le_chou_fleur8470 same. regular rider and I always aim for left side of chair lift.

You’re the best🤍 watching this while I’m on the slope🤣 love thissss
Awesome! Have fun out there!
I’ll be taking my first snowboard trip coming up and these tips are excellent! Great video 🤙
If it's a full chair, having your free foot behind your strapped leg can help take the weight off, too.
I never thought of that I just had to deal with the pain

Skiers can come in handy
That’s wat my dad and brother does🔥
I’ve never even snowboarded and I don’t plan to not sure why I’m watching this but very informative lol
I have the same exact snowboard, design and all, nice!!
i just started snowboarding, and your video are really helpful, you're the best :D
If I have to get up from sitting, I use my toe edge facing forward, no rollover. I find there's more leverage that way.
ive seen that penguin walk done with that exact same motion in riders republic lol and in the same situation, where ure just in a stand still
'Shelf Dig' highly dependent on good snow to dig into, ice-coaster here in tears 😭
To strap in standing on shallow terrain dig in your downhill edge. You don’t have to make a massive hole then. Use the uphill side if it’s steep.
Great tips!!! like the video. Will try implement them this season.
I did tried all five and it was great. It does help getting more out of the day.
The penguin walk is an awesome hack!
4:30 who doesn't need a better way to rest? Cool tip ty!
Oh to have a chair by yourself… such a dream. This season i rode with a crew that meant we had enough to fill most chair so no stress there. As for straps. Get step ons… problem solved 😂

Thank you Kevin, great tips 💯💯👌👌
Thank you!
I feel like these are all pretty common. Definitely have been using these for years. still good video
Any ones I missed?
@@SnowboardProCamp
Here are a few that I could think of, but they are a bit more situational. I think you got the main ones, especially the chair lift thing. That is a huge tip to learn that I am always sharing with people!
-Tapping heel to get heel back in boot before tightening them
-After first tightening a boot, squat a few times then re tighten boots (works best with boa but other lacing can still benefit)
-Flipping board over when you want to put it down (if someone is injured on the other side of a roller, you can do this with the high backs up to have it lean at an angle at the top of the roller to make sure people don't run into the injured person until patrol gets there
-Using a board to help pull yourself up when hiking steep powder (highback loops become handles to pull)
-Use a car snow brush your board before throwing it in your car
That pinguin walk is going to take some practice lol. You do it so well haha.
In Europe the bar on the Lift have 2 sides so that skiers can rest their feet, but it also works for snowboards
The ol mute/Indy stand up.... Seen many a glove removed from that one 🤣
Also, we call your penguin walk the Charlie Chaplin
Haha, that’s a good one! What’s your home resort?
Hack#2 u can also push snow away with toe edge. I have flow NX2 and u cannot strap in sitting in snow. Good stuff Kevin!
Thank you for the advises dude. It was very helful for me.
You can also put your board on while on the chairlift. Bit of a pain but doing it early on will make getting off easier and no need to strap on after
don't do that in Austria, you might get in trouble with the lift boys
For safety reasons you shouldn't do that...
@@schteff4396 it's not really dangerous at all. Just be reasonable with it
hey, are you going to be in the Tahoe area for these next couple storms? if so, where? Kirkwood is supposed to get hit pretty hard!
Great content, as always, Kevin. I checked your channel for videos on how to get on your board after falling in deep powder, but I have yet to see any videos. Can you share a link or video on how to get back on your board after falling in deep powder?
Thank you!
Will make one! Check out the “shorts” section. Think there’s one there.
A better chair lift hack is to cross your free foot behind your board foot and rest your heel cup on top of your free foot. Its more comfortable and you don't have to worry about cut stitching or your toe slipping off.
Awesome!
I used to get tire pretty fast on the toe riding because I was closing my knees instead of opening them, my muscle where doing it so naturally, this is great exercise thanks
Very surprised that there is nothing to rest your board or ski on. We have it here in Alps
Thank you for the hacks 💙🙏🏾💚💪🏾
If you find yourself sitting in the snow a lot, brush the snow off your butt every time you get up! The accumulation of snow just sitting on your pants just wrecks the waterproofness
Do you mean as in ruining the coating?
love your videos!!
The second tip will help me bc yesterday I ent snowboarding and the bottom of my jacket froze
The penguin hack is so fun
the penguin shuffle!
1. If the lift has footrests, put your board onto that (on your free foot makes your upper leg get pulled into the seat)
2. Solved with Flow step-in bindings
5. I do the roll-over all the time
Depends on where you are. In Michigan, there's not one ski lift with a foot rest bc they don't call for it. It's like a minute ride at the longest for most of them.
These tips are helpful for beginners for sure, but not for someone that's been riding for 5, 10, 15, 20 years. You figure alot of this out within the first couple years and he knows that obviously.
Do you have any tips on binding placement on your board?
Thanks.
I have Flow Fenix binding, and making the shelf doesn't work as well with the step-in feature of the binding. What do you suggest?
Nice tips! What camera do you use by the way?
Miami girl here 💁♀, will be snowboarding for the first time in 2 weeks. I am so excited! 🥲 Thank you for this video :D
Sometimes I found it’s easier to get up by pushing my weight to the back foot and bouncing myself up with the tail, like doing a small Ollie from the ground 😂
Thank you! Definitely helpful!!!
Hey Kevin! Helpful video! Can you share a link for your hat?
Knew em all! And by trial and error
When getting off lift , have heel further back on stomp pad and can dig in snow like a brake
hack one is hard if your front foot angle is high. it also helps to make a lace-guard out of ducttape and milk carton plastic.
at least that's the theory , thanks for the hacks
Super useful tips!
I need all the pro tips
Can you give them to me?
yeah, I definitely didn't know any of these... until the third day of my snowboarding 🤣🤣🤣 people will call anything a "hack" these days... like standing up.

I would check the manufacturer's guide lines. You should go with your weight, not how tall you are.

Just got that same exact jacket but the sage and white one a couple days ago. Clicked the thumbnail specifically cuz I saw you got the grey and black one. How you been liking it?
I like it a lot! Comfortable and light weight. I wish it had a couple more pockets though.
The penguin walk though lol...
