CamKam123 I have a local hill with only 3 jumps. 2 jumps have 5ish foot gaps and the 3rd is a big 50footer. i get as much speed as i can and i still cant clear that knuckle, i always clip the very edge and tumble all the way down. Im sure if you tried enough you could land the 40 footer.
The diversity in size of the jumps at that mountain are amazing. My mountain has either huge jumps or tiny hoppers so it is really hard for me to learn
Zionik Z that’s how I am. I just started doing jumps and tricks and even the small jumps are scary but if you just commit it isn’t bad. And when you land it, it’s so worth the little bit of fear
SnowboardProCamp Haha definitely. He bounced out of it like a champ. The camera angle made it look like he was sailing away at first though lol had me worried.
Thank you soooo much! I ride the first time this season and I'm a beginner in jumps but with your tips I stand all jumps :). The kickers were 1meter and I can't believe it. Sry about my english but I from Austria and 14 years old. Please make more great videos! You explain it very well and they help me so much! I'm so happy and I only would say THANK YOU!!!! Tim
I like these videos, because It helps to see people doing these for the first time, so you can see their mistakes and avoid them. This video helped me with doing M jumps for the first time today!!!!
This was super dope to watch the progression through the jumps. Leaving the ego at home and starting slow and working your way into it. Great video guys!
I know this is 2 yrs ago but i’m a beginner finally starting to get comfortable in my third season and I have been skateboarding my entire life, growing up (two different worlds). Your tips are really define and specific, which helps me differentiate the muscle memory I have for skateboarding and putting the new taught mechanics into snowboarding. The good energy is also super contagious 👍🏻 appreciate it guys! extremely helpful
There are a bunch of things to love about this vid. I just hit blues for the first time this weekend after an edgetune (the first since i got my board 2yrs ago) and 15ft of powder at squaw. The feeling of leveling up (the biggest thing i love about this vid)... I identify with doug and was cheering him and feeling his frustrations. Your channel has helped me on my snowboard journey. Pure dopeness. If i ever epic pass again, im gonna come looking for you guys at whistler.
I was having the same issues with those same jumps not being able to clear the knuckles but as soon as I added a bit of a pop to the jump it fixed it immediately. its crazy how much a small hop off the lip can help you get a lot more air! Awesome video; very helpful!
I've watched you since I first started snowboarding a month ago, now I can hit jumps and and rails because of your videos. Great job with the videos man keep it up!
This was incredible watching his progression. Great video, instruction, and editing! Can you say how much experience Doug had before he shot this video. For example, was he able to do 180s on flat runs or butters?
Sick video. I ride solo most of the time, and this is definitely helping me get perspective on how to progress into larger features. Great lessons. Thanks, bro.
been a skier all my life, but today in the middle of Missouri I decided to try something new, yall's videos have helped me! I think I'm a boarder now!!!!
The thing he said about the pop off the jump 7:15 really helped me getting in control in the air. I saw this tip before on a youtube video, travis rice - How to get in the air. He explained that you shouldn't let the jump control you. So you bring your body in the position you want to be in.
Just found this channel the other day and I can't stop watching your videos. Planning on hitting the slopes tomorrow and trying out some of the tips I've picked up.
Love this series of Pro Camp with Doug, great to watch progress as Kevin makes it look too easy! Doug gives me more confidence to try more things. Great channel keep up the good work 😀
You look so natural jumping, Doug. I'm harpy for u. I was having fun watching the video. I'm itchy to try next trip. However, I'm 53. Number one concern is the impact to my knees. If a knuckle is cleared, will impact be much milder?
Zhou Pan - thanks for the compliment! I found hitting the knuckle at low speeds didn't hurt my knees... but I'm sure if they were bigger jumps it could be a lot more painful!
Zhou Pan - Yes, much, much milder. Especially for the larger ones. Just say screw it and hit it full speed after a few times just riding over it. Thats what I did and I find it much easier after you land the first 5 to 10 jumps or less.
Zhou Pan If it is a jump where the kicker is the same level as the knuckle, or almost same level it never hurts. The only thing it can hurt is under your feet if youre a beginner and new to the impact on your feet.
Certainly will be. Grab some compression knee braces or at least see how they feel to wear. Im only 26 with a bung knee from skate boarding, but compression braces help me knee feel strong and stable when hitting medium jumps. Certainly help to reduce landing strains and stresses.
honestly guys you do the best video tutorials. loving this channel. I've been hitting whistler emerald park for sometime and just starting to progress to blackcomb park. had a fall hitting a rail. but just going back and watching these videos to get a freshen up is amazing
Kevin is definitely a great teacher always loved these vids. watched all the beginner vids before my first day and I think it really helped me be able to pick it up super quickly
hey, can you focus more on the landing next time? or does anyone have any tips because landing seems to be a bit of a challenge for me & i really want to get into riding the park.
dbrazierr Make sure you land with your knees slightly bent. They will act like shock absorbers and make the landing that much easier Also make sure you stay balanced as youre landing. Return your center of gravity to over the middle of the board. This will prevent your board slipping out from under you as you land.
Practice a lot on natural jumps, and even on ollies while riding through the slopes ! Whenever you feel like it, just pop an ollie with enough speed to get yourself confortable with it, and then do the same on small bumps, and then you just increase the size of the jumps until you get into parks :) And most importantly bend your knees !
These kinds of videos of you teaching your friends/beginners work really well! Keep up the good work! I think I've learned more of the videos of you teaching others than the ones of you 'showing how to do it. I've learned a ton from this one, I think I might hit these bigger jumps as well the next time I'll be riding! Thanks man!
Trolliixz nah they updated the snowboards so they don’t allow you to pop as much. Too many people getting hurt. You can see it in the latest patch notes
For a snowboarder like myself who has always geared towards freeride/mountain double blacks but has strayed away from the intimidating park, this is helpful and meditative to see.
I do love that Kevin brings along someone less experienced to test out his theories. Even if everything he says isn't 100% accurate, it allows us to get a good look at what us as viewers might be doing wrong and make corrections just by observation.
Cool video. As a dude that lives in the flatlands of MI, I only get to head out to major parks once or twice a season and I end up spending most of my first day just getting back into the swing of things. It's one thing to prep and watch McMorris slay triple cabs but as a run-of-the-mill intermediate rider, it's more helpful to watch someone like Doug showcase some of the fundamental mechanics before I get out there myself. Cool vid, I'll definitely follow you guys.
Twix sure! tell me if it worked out for you, Indy grab is easier tho so just try to grab the center of your board wirlth you back hand, don't forget to tuck your knees in! :)
Twix Try to do shiftys or start spinning, and just try to be More relaxed while jumping, never be stressed doing anything. I always try to control my balance with my arms, or don't use them.
Thanks for these posts! Super psyched and the idea of using your buddy Doug to show the progression makes it all the more legit. Love the work, keep at it and hello from Ontario.
omg so many different size and kind of jumps I wish my mountain was this nice for beginners to progress
I wish I had a mountain
Matt Gage what's a mountain?
Were I ride there are knuckles that are 40 feet away from the jump its impossible
i live in ohio dude. it takes forever to get to a good mountain
CamKam123 I have a local hill with only 3 jumps. 2 jumps have 5ish foot gaps and the 3rd is a big 50footer. i get as much speed as i can and i still cant clear that knuckle, i always clip the very edge and tumble all the way down. Im sure if you tried enough you could land the 40 footer.
that send in the background at 9:28 lol.
pndub_live lol
I was about to comment that
Shit got me dead asf
Hahaha
pndub_live no dislikes for this comment ! LOL
The diversity in size of the jumps at that mountain are amazing. My mountain has either huge jumps or tiny hoppers so it is really hard for me to learn
My mountains have no jumps so I go off track to find natural jumps
Is just me or do other people look at these jump and think "I can do that" then you get to the smallest jumps and you can't get the confidence
always how it is, for me as well
Zionik Z with jumps, I don’t do that, but I slightly broke my bone on a rail last year so I always do that with rails
I've done a handful of jumps and I still get that feeling.
Zionik Z that’s how I am. I just started doing jumps and tricks and even the small jumps are scary but if you just commit it isn’t bad. And when you land it, it’s so worth the little bit of fear
They just make it look so easy
"He kinda sent it a bit far" Meanwhile at 6:55 in the background some dude was flying
Perfect timing lol
Lmfao
LMAO shit had me dying
I actually laughed about this for real 😂😂😂
I'm same stage as Doug so excellent vid,helps me a lot.✌🏽
The boarder at the back round jump 09:28!!!😆
I love how he is talking about, Doug having to much speed in 6:52 and in the Background, you can see this fast and huge jump of the Skier
9:27 I thought that dude was a goner for a second! Lmao
+The Detherage Dialect haha! I actually didn't notice that guy! Looks like he was ok though!
SnowboardProCamp Haha definitely. He bounced out of it like a champ. The camera angle made it look like he was sailing away at first though lol had me worried.
+The Detherage Dialect lol nice I didn't see that
LMFAO!!!!!!
ikr lol
Love how good of a teacher/buddy this guy is! Pure beauty! Always helps the confidence when you have someone like that in your corner mice job!!
Thank you soooo much! I ride the first time this season and I'm a beginner in jumps but with your tips I stand all jumps :). The kickers were 1meter and I can't believe it.

Tim
Whattup grom
i expected to watch this for a few min max but it ended up being extremely informative and i watched it all, good job lol
More of these Doug progression videos please!
Doug is going to get really good in two more of these videos
haha!
I like these videos, because It helps to see people doing these for the first time, so you can see their mistakes and avoid them. This video helped me with doing M jumps for the first time today!!!!
7:12 background guy looks like he's flying
Thats the sign of a good slip back fuck up lol
This was super dope to watch the progression through the jumps. Leaving the ego at home and starting slow and working your way into it. Great video guys!
Doug's cool. Kinda feels like watching Alan from The Hangover progress in snowboarding. Cool video.
I really like watching Doug progress. Definitely on the same page as him
I know this is 2 yrs ago but i’m a beginner finally starting to get comfortable in my third season and I have been skateboarding my entire life, growing up (two different worlds). Your tips are really define and specific, which helps me differentiate the muscle memory I have for skateboarding and putting the new taught mechanics into snowboarding.

Yes more of this beginner progression videos.
Great point at the end about how impressive it is to see him progress as he is.
3:04 No biggie, just a nice backside 180 lol
Those are so easy
I didn’t know boarders find them so cool, it’s one of the easiest tricks in skiing, just takes some more confidence on larger jumps.
Is there backside and frontside on skis though?
@@Niloc1922 nope
@@niilo4254 yes there is depends which way you spin
I like this longer, more in-depth video format. Definitely learning a lot more. Also, I'm amazed at how fast Doug is progressing. Deeply envious!
i love these longer videos keep them longer i would watch an hour video of u just snowboaring.
Literally the only channel the lowers the volume of the background noise to play music over it to make it fun to watch
It's been cool to see Doug progress in the park.
Doug is the MAN! Such a chill well-spoken homie. Let alone the gnarly jumps he was committing to! Cheers to you guys, such a great video.
Nice progression Doug ! Greetings from Spain guys

Fantastic job, Kevin and Doug. I am loving the video series of taking beginners and intermediates to the next level. Keep it up.
Lmao that poor kid at 9:30 in the background 😂
Great spot😂
i thought he was going for the handstand xD
I was about to coment this lmao
me too :D this is so funny!!!
More like 9:27
Doug progressively got cooler as he sent it bigger - you can tell by his voice.
Haha! We need Doug back for more videos!
Great to have someone who is learning to provide some feedback and intuitive observation from the coach
7:11 guy in the background... i feel you bro😂
Love watching someone really open themselves up to trying something new.
Great work, Doug!
Awesome video. Really inspires me to just go for it next time i go out
I was having the same issues with those same jumps not being able to clear the knuckles but as soon as I added a bit of a pop to the jump it fixed it immediately. its crazy how much a small hop off the lip can help you get a lot more air! Awesome video; very helpful!

Haha
Lmao, I searched before I posted because I knew I wasn't the only one who saw.
@@CaPoNRiCoNTtTt Haha thats great XD. We got good eyes huh? 😂

Great videos, and the student seems like a really nice guy.
been a skier all my life, but today in the middle of Missouri I decided to try something new, yall's videos have helped me! I think I'm a boarder now!!!!
Pratte Overby Snow Creek I take it? :)
gonzo gbravo aye snow creek is so fun even though it is really small
First skied at snow creak. It's pretty icy.
6:55 Love how you were talking about giving it too much speed and then a skier looked like he launched into outer space 😂
This is perfect way showing others how to jump when you're teaching someone else through it. Loved the video and keep up the good work!
You gotta love Doug's lack of ego here. He's willing to say when he gets scared and can't commit to the jump. It helps me learn, tbh.
Very cool to see his progression throughout the day.
Thumbs up to the DOUG.
9:28 LOL that dude in the background
truthfully, I think this is one of your most helpful videos yet. Can't wait to hit the mountain again and try these tips out.
The thing he said about the pop off the jump 7:15 really helped me getting in control in the air. I saw this tip before on a youtube video, travis rice - How to get in the air. He explained that you shouldn't let the jump control you. So you bring your body in the position you want to be in.
Great to follow along with somebody who has a little confidence and see them progress in a day. Looking forward to getting there myself. Thanks guys!
It's summer here in New Zealand... You're killing me man ;-; Miss the snow so much.
s3raxCA come to Sakhalin
Summer is a loose term for NZ current weather ha, hopefully there is lots of snow this season can't wait!
s3raxCA and it's still snowing on some of the mountains lol
Yeah it sucks can't wait for winter!
I've only just started and now I'll have to pretty much wait for next years season.
ATML all day! Awesome video for beginners 😎
9:27 guy in the back lol
Hahhaha
Just found this channel the other day and I can't stop watching your videos. Planning on hitting the slopes tomorrow and trying out some of the tips I've picked up.
that guy at 9:25 :D but good vid man
I´m so glad that you are so easy going, and honest about how you felt and all that. And not macho. awesome video! Love watching you guys :D
Doug is gonna flyyyyy!
hardly. he is kinda just rolling through these jumps..no pop up. he should be bringing his knees way higher to his chest
Love this series of Pro Camp with Doug, great to watch progress as Kevin makes it look too easy! Doug gives me more confidence to try more things. Great channel keep up the good work 😀

i need those ramps in our snow area.. dang they would call me the eagle
Great attitude from Doug.. easy to progress when you have the right outlook
9:20 Summary of this video:
Popping is the key
Well done Doug. I;ve been an average rider for years and these big jumps still scare the hell out of me.
I wish Brighton had a step down like that one at... Whistler I'm guessing?
Riley Pendleton yep
Same
I thought they said they were at Blackcomb?
This channel is rad. You guys are so honest. I get scared too. But you guys make that so normal.
Watching this even though I'm still not ready to be trying jumps LOL
Kevin is definitely a great teacher always loved these vids. watched all the beginner vids before my first day and I think it really helped me be able to pick it up super quickly
hey, can you focus more on the landing next time? or does anyone have any tips because landing seems to be a bit of a challenge for me & i really want to get into riding the park.
or may you do a video on common mistakes & fixes please!
dbrazierr try to land flatbased and not too backheavy also you dont want to be frotheavy in the air i promise that landing will hurt
dbrazierr and try to stay relaxed in the air reaching for easy grabs helped me alot to stay relax in the air
dbrazierr Make sure you land with your knees slightly bent. They will act like shock absorbers and make the landing that much easier Also make sure you stay balanced as youre landing. Return your center of gravity to over the middle of the board. This will prevent your board slipping out from under you as you land.

And most importantly bend your knees !
I gotta say thank you for making this video. Confidence is now boosted.
7:12 the one guy in the background 😂
Your videos have always been great and this new chillout music style editing is the icing on the cake! Love it
5:30 hey isn't that TJ ?
These kinds of videos of you teaching your friends/beginners work really well! Keep up the good work!
I think I've learned more of the videos of you teaching others than the ones of you 'showing how to do it.
I've learned a ton from this one, I think I might hit these bigger jumps as well the next time I'll be riding! Thanks man!
9:28 when that guy misses the stop lolol
Lmfao
Doug improved with every Jump!I'll try to use the tips in my next holidays🇩🇪
Haha this video made me laugh so hard 😂 Just because I can relate to him. I'm roughly at the same learning stage as he is.
thank! more of those! it really helps to watch a regular guy learn instead of all the triple cork 1080s masters that really intimidate you.
Does this tutorial work late 2019?
Trolliixz nah tried it but they removed some features apparently.
sorry no
It's been patched.
Gravity was buffed so you cant get as much air as before man, really sucks.
Trolliixz nah they updated the snowboards so they don’t allow you to pop as much. Too many people getting hurt. You can see it in the latest patch notes
Loving the Doug progression videos! Congrats man and thanks for helping me learn more!
9:27 The kid in the back XD
For a snowboarder like myself who has always geared towards freeride/mountain double blacks but has strayed away from the intimidating park, this is helpful and meditative to see.
7:10 guy in the back fell hahaha
You guys are like the ‘braille skateboarding’ but for snowboarding 🏂 great job always watch your videos!
Drinking game: take a shot everytime you hear the word "knuckle"
Pop also works too
I do love that Kevin brings along someone less experienced to test out his theories. Even if everything he says isn't 100% accurate, it allows us to get a good look at what us as viewers might be doing wrong and make corrections just by observation.
6 minutes ago, i love you and your channel
Cool video. As a dude that lives in the flatlands of MI, I only get to head out to major parks once or twice a season and I end up spending most of my first day just getting back into the swing of things. It's one thing to prep and watch McMorris slay triple cabs but as a run-of-the-mill intermediate rider, it's more helpful to watch someone like Doug showcase some of the fundamental mechanics before I get out there myself. Cool vid, I'll definitely follow you guys.
The one problem I have is waving my arms when I jump I'm pretty confident in the air but I want to stop waving my arms any advice.
Twix try to do an Indy or a method grab, for me it's easier to hit 5m jumps doing grabs then normal jumps since grabs kind of stabilize your body imo
Ruben Rojas thank you I might be going in 2 hours ill be sure to try
Twix sure! tell me if it worked out for you, Indy grab is easier tho so just try to grab the center of your board wirlth you back hand, don't forget to tuck your knees in! :)
Twix Try to do shiftys or start spinning, and just try to be More relaxed while jumping, never be stressed doing anything. I always try to control my balance with my arms, or don't use them.
grabs, you'd be surprised how easy they are and soon you will feel weird not doing one
surprisingly really helpful to watch someone else's learning process! nice video guys, and good work doug
7:11 background ramp XD
Watching Doug progress so much has been awesome- keep it up dudes
9:27 the kid in the back lol
Thanks for these posts! Super psyched and the idea of using your buddy Doug to show the progression makes it all the more legit. Love the work, keep at it and hello from Ontario.
this vids more interesting when u look at the back people lol
Good job Doug, keep practicing and when you fall get up and try again the same minute!
Who else jumps over the tree shadows?
Me sometimes
Impressive progress in only one day! Way to go, Doug!
yall canadian AF...but great video thanks!
Kurt Dehnert - oh ya eh? how aboot those jumps!
Doug, what brand/model are your goggles? Nice progression
Dragon x1s
dougs progression through the video was sick
