Skiing is a gradual learning curve that plateaus at the top. Snowboard is flat progression while you catch edges and scorpion, then you are linking turns and it's a massive wall curve of progression as the entire mountain becomes unlocked.
I reckon it depends on the person. I am scared to death of skis it looks like just asking to have your knees twisted.
@@chadr2604yeah crashes in skis are way worse than on boards but you are more stable in skis so people fall less in general. Complete beginners seem to stop falling all together no long after they learn how to slow. But snowboarders still fall even after learning the basics because of some unlucky edge catch or some bumpy snow
@@garrison4173 but i have heard the same about roller skates but I can't do it.
Similar to a button pusher running a machine a lot of crashes
I went skiing one time in Alpe D'huez as a teen, I got on the red slopes in a week and I honestly think skiing is a lot more fun, just due to the dynamics and the motions that I personally feel really good and in control of. Put me on a snowboard I'll feel like I'm skate boarding and I will write my self off. It's similar but different. Anyway I used to WIPE out on the skiis on the red slopes and honestly it was fun every time I'd slide for ages and get back and do it again.
I honestly have never enjoyed an experience as much as skiing, I want to make it a hobby but it's out of my price range for now lol.
Do both😁
I started snowboarding but now I ski too. Once you figure out how to stop and turn you’ll be shocked how much one discipline helps the other.
My snowboard experience gave me confidence in the skis right away
I would, but I have a school trip coming up where you can choose skiing or snowboarding, and you can't do both. My friend said the boot things hurt your ankles, so I might do snowboarding
StarCatAura666 how did that go
@@xelenth_ skiing is easy in the beginning but once you get to the park rails etc.. is harder and there’s more you can do it’s the opposite for snow boarding
I hope my minimal skating experience helps with snowboarding if I do it
At least you have some kind of balance. It doesn’t hurt to take a lesson for at least a couple hours.
Music is too loud, but good content. Thanks ✌️
Lmao no it’s not you fucking weirdo
@@Saint_BullCaptain it’s definitely mastered with too loud music by most people’s standards
Started with skiing but i switched to snowboarding. I think snowboarding is more difficult to carve properly. Sure you'll get down the mountain with sliding turns. but keeping a solid edge and leaving a single line in the snow is a lot more difficult on a snowboard in my opinion. You dont see a lot of boarders leaving a sharp single line, most boarders do sliding turns.
It is definitely difficult to learn, but once one is able to do it, carving is quite easy. It all come down to placing pressure through out the board edge and just following the shape of the board.
My kids refer to wearing ski boots as casts for their feet.
Music too high ... It's so distracting
agree
I disagree with you on one thing, skiing, in my opinion, is far safer than snowboarding. Ski’s have more control if you get good, which is the same for snowboarding, but skiing just has more control entirely. Ski’s also have a really good release that relies on your skill level, so if you fall, you don’t need to worry about your ski’s hitting you at all. One of my worst memories from snowboarding is falling down a steep black and hitting myself in my nose with my knee, then smacking my bicep against the edge of the snowboard, (which hurt a lot😂). I’ve never had this problem with skiing because my ski’s just clip out, my poles slip out of my hands and I tumble down, which is actually quite fun, although it is a pain going back up to grab my stuff.
A good fall on both can really wreck you. But, yeah, some ski falls are less painful, as you described above. A good scorpion snowboarding can put you on the couch for a few days. Thanks for sharing.
But what about the twisting of the knee with skis..... because both feet are attached together it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much harder to get a seriously leg/knee injury with a snowboard then with skis. I think that is one of the biggest advantages with a snowboard. Skiers knees go quicker IMO
@@ashflame6888 I think it would depend on how skilled you are Bc if you have beginner skis they would just pop off before anything happens. But when you’re a professional with higher level skis I could see that
@@budgetme4661 except you get past that within one season..... and you still have to deal with skis crossing even at beginner levels.
Tried to learn ski few times and quit. I hated those robocop shoes. Now learning snowboard and actualy it is much less frustrating than skiing was. Feels more natural to me.
Good to see you’re enjoying the mountains. Do what feels good.
I snowboarded 20 years ago for about 5 years. Now that I'm an advanced skier, some days I just really want to snowboard, especially on days when I'm skiing with my wife or my beginner/intermediate skier friends.
I started out skiing for 5 years and decided to switch to boarding because I was getting a bit bored of skis, on the first day I fell countless times and injured my wrist as well as hurting my lower back a little but, over the next few days i started falling less and less until eventually (after only 2 days practice) I almost stopped falling completely (except when doing tricks). If you are doing boarding, i would super reccomnend taking at least one lesson just to get the basics down, especially carving and going on a flat without catching an edge.
If you're someone who has done board sports in the past it obviously helps with your snowboarding, I used to ride a ripstick so I was already used to the carving aspect. Hope this helps!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
I loved it, thanks 😍 I’m a skier ⛷ in my past but taking a trip next week and thinking bout trying snowboarding. I have to say that the comfortable shoe is really selling it for me... ski boots so much like a vice!! I imagine it being a challenge but I kinda feel like up to it.. I hear your ass is sore a lot when you start cus you fall over so much... hope it won’t be too bad!
Snowboarding feels amazing
I grew up a skateboarder and I wanna hit the snow soon but skiing to me for some reason is like the rollerbladers of the skatepark the snow board just seems cooler and more stylish idk imma give it a shot tho cause me hating on it might just make me miss a dope experience
If you can afford it, try both by renting each for a day, and see what you like. Both will have distinct styles, but one really shouldn't think one is better than the other. Have fun with what ever you choose.
I never ski or snowboard but I'm going to try snowboarding this year. It seems way easier, just 1 board to control vs trying to keep your 2 feet together.
Like skateboarding vs skates.
Skateboarding is hard as hell but I see what you mean
I'll do both... so telemark and skimo (i've 5/6 pairs..growing up on the mountains...easy), what can i say... with hard snow snowboard really suck.... but board shoes are paradise... board is at home in really deep fresh snow...my tip is to learn ski before all....board can comes later... or do both... it helps a lot to gain indipendence of the feet so it helps change type of skiis...try a light set skimo and than heavy race gs... hahaha surprising!
I have some longboarding experience. Would this help me to learn to snowboard at all, or not?
Kind of. It won’t really help I terms of learning to slide and edge, but once you start carving, the motions will be pretty similar. It may take a while getting used to being strapped into bindings too.
I have some experience with longboarding too
I agree with everything but for some reason I found snowboarding easier. I just could not understand the pizza stopping technique
That’s because it’s a pos way to stop unless you’re in a flat slope
Hockey stops are the way to go
@@henrygonzalez3842 Yes plus a lot of people teach it wrong and they make you think it's the triangle shape that stops you. So many people make a triangle shape with flat skis and that is not helping them break at all (even on flat slopes). You have to push the heels apart which will also put the skis at an angle (with inner edge contact with the snow) to stop this way.
On a mountain, i fell, with my ski crossed and an my hand, and I needed my instructor to clap my ski off with her ski stick, also, my wrist got injured, legs hurt
Also, the ski shoes ARE SO FUCKING HEAVY, and are we not gonna talk about the fact that snowboarders just take their board off, AND WALK WITH THEIR 2 NORMAL WEIGHT FEET? I haven't tried snowboarding yet, I'm going on another ski/snowboard camp and this time I'm going snowboarding(I'm not saying its safer, my older sister fell and injured her wrist and hurt her ass when falling on her arm, lovely, I'm just saying i like it more FROM WHAT I SEE)
Thanks for sharing!
I’m loving the wubs dude! Made it a little hard to hear what you were saying around 2:30-3:00 but that’s alright was able to go back and listen a little better lol
Thanks! This was my first ever released video. Had no idea how to correctly mix audio. Safe to say, I know how to now...
@@MountainVibes still a great video. Very informative!
I'm here for the vlogs btw
Naomi Carter thanks!
The vlogs are coming, but i gotta get the nerdy buyers guide vids done first. Sit tight
I skateboard I think snowboarding would be better for me what do you think
You may enjoy it more because you can relate it to skateboarding.
Awesome video ! Thanks 👍
does he have a twin????? omg such a sick vid dude
👍
I tried skiing. I haven’t tried boarding but I have some internal feeling it would be easier for me. I don’t know if I should follow that feeling or stick to the skiis.
Can always rent, and see if you catch on...
Why is the audio so low
increase the volume
@@sheero8983 i was just wondering cus on other vids is a higher volume
I tried skiing for 3 years, failed results 😁. at the same time from the start i wanted to snowboard, i got into it and learned very quickly. I now have a very good level. maybe skiing helped me progress quickly I don't know. in any case even if I will not be skiing again I have the impression that I understand how to do it now with the practice of snowboarding.
What if you've already skied for a week? Do you think learning to snowboard is more fun or just learning advanced skiing?
That's a tough one... Personally, I started skiing when I felt I plateaued as a snowboarder. Plus, hitting the mountain alone gave me time to learn skiing at my own pace. If you've got a bunch a friends who snowboard you can ride with them, but if they're riding at a high level, it will be frustrating keeping up with them. I'd say master skiing first, but jump on a board for a day or two, and see how you take to it. Both are fun... You just view the mountain differently.
@@MountainVibes Alright, one thing I forgot to mention was that I did snowboard once. I went over the basics but it was only for a couple of hours (indoor). But the skiing was actually in Austria. With your advice I think I'm gonna snowboard first and see how I do. Cause the people I'm gonna go with are also gonna snowboard but they're at my level
CHRIS! amazing job. We gotta share tips on video editing I'm opening a fashion line and outfitting a couple well known people at this time, ISSUES/linkin park musician and The legendary adventures of Anna Instagram model. Let's link up!
Ty! How goes it man? I'm down, I'll get in touch with you this week. I assume you're in Seattle these days???
could you please respond to this because it is hard to find an answer to my question on google? but i don’t know what i should start out with because i enjoy wakeboarding which is probably similar to snowboarding, and i’m pretty good at wakeboarding, i just don’t know if i should start something new or if i should do something more similar to what i’m used to
Hey Henry, if you're concerned with what to pick, I'd suggest renting each for a day. That way you're not committing to one sport.
So snowboarding is better, got it
wow! you have the vibeset
brilliant vid bro!!
David thanks! Really appreciate it.
Nice! 😆
Easy answer: do both
For me I think snowboarding is easier! I’m a snowboarder and I only say that because when I do ski my legs would shake so much
After watching this video last year, I decided to try snowboarding a try (as an experienced skier) and I fell down countless times -which was actually quite fun lmao- and up to until a certain point, some idiot guys kept laughing at me when I fell. How nice of them, I know. Now, keep in mind, they were sledding. Not skiing, not boarding, but *sledding*. So later in the day, I decided to go and get my skis to go down the mountain a couple times and get that adrenaline rush we all love. So you can imagine their surprise when I zoomed past them spraying them from head to toe with powder hahaha
Well, in my defense, they deserved it and it was hilarious so...
We ended up going for hot cocoa later anyways :))
"putting your foot in a vice" 🙃💀
Great vid man!
Turn the music down, it's harder to hear you.
I learned how to snowboard in one day ez
bs
No way
It took me a year or two
nice vid
This is kinda very one sided
Talk louder
Music too damn loud
A vice hahahaha.
If your a dork you’ll probably choose skiing easy as that
Complete waste of time
Bad
skiing is lame there is your awnser
