Just started snowboarding at 35....let's just say I'm sweating buckets! Good tips!

i am beyond happy that i found your channel, you’ve taught me how to snowboard just through your videos and it has gotten me through my first day on a mountain, how to select my gear, how to adjust and get everything ready, and even what i will need with me on my snow trip. keep up the amazing work kev!

After ankle surgery last year, I can't get my ski boots on. Nows the time to learn a new sport. Thanks for the awesome tips.

Whos watching here because theyre going on snowboard for the 1st time? Haha

I'v never seen Kevin in such high quality!!

Thx for the tips! Hit the slopes for the first time ever this weekend and I didn’t have an instructor, but this video gave me the tools to learn and after a couple hours I started feeling pretty comfortable on the board 👌🏻

So legit, this is going to help so many people get into snowboarding! Hope this one goes to 1M+!

I've never went snowboarding or skiing until last week. I watched this video and your other video on how to toe slide and heel slide before the trip and it helped out tremendously. I was hitting the blue slopes as a first time snowboarder before the end of the day. Thank you for the amazing videos and lessons!

So i did my first snowboard run yesterday. I watched this video and went. No problem skating around went straight for the lift up on a blue slope and went for it. Everything came naturaly apart from catching edges, great video!

Saving this video! I’ve been snowboarding for 4 years and still can’t heel edge. I do all my hills on my toe edge which I believe is causing ankle discomfort and muscle spasms later in the day. As a newly 50 year old, the fear takes over. I’ll keep watching this video. Thank you.

going on my first ski trip and I’m super nervous to be around some more well-versed people, but this really makes me feel confident to see and have some idea of how to do basic movement! Thank you so much!!

i have never stepped foot on a snowboard but for the past 2 weeks i've been watching like 100 trillion snowboarding tutorial videos lmao. hoping to go rent a board for the first time next month :)

As a beginner what really helped me was boarding on the edge. I couldn't link my turns that well when I was sliding and it was always awkward. But when I realized I can use the flex of the board to enter the turn with my front using the downhill edge while my back foot was still using the uphill edge it was basically one of the simplest things I ever did. From there it was very easy to link my turns and ride on the edge. Add a little slide here and there to slow speed and good to go.

Stoked to work on this with you Kevin, here’s to more projects in the future! 🔥🎥✂️

I’ve been skiing for 8 years! I am taking a lesson tomorrow morning. I am super excited! Ive been skateboarding for a long time and that will probably help! Thanks for these tips. I will edit this comment tomorrow night and tell you guys how it went. Thanks again! 😊 Edit: it went great! I snowboarded for 4 hours. I tried a bigger hill but I was getting tired so I got sloopy. I'm gonna be sore for days. 😅 anyway I really enjoyed it! Thank you for your tips! God bless!

Hey Kevin, long time listener, first time caller.... Great to see you returning to your roots in such a high quality video. If you are planning a refresh of the beginner Playlist I'm all for it. Getting people out there and having fun as quickly as possible is what this thing is all about.

Clear concise directions, great choice of word cues, keeping it minimal & simple! Thank you!!

The production quality is just insane! Not only did you pick a chance with an entirely empty slope, but also did you do a perfect job on editing this

As a beginner snowboarder this is super super helpful! Thank you so much for putting this video together.

I can’t thank you enough for this video and others. I had my first snowboard day at age 40. I did have some skateboarding experience. Even though some things felt unnatural at first I followed all the steps. I had one of the best days of my life. I went down more experienced slopes after 2 hours of practicing these techniques. I saw such pretty views and was comfortable going fast and controlling speed with frontside and backside. I rarely fell and when I did it was slow enough didn’t hurt. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and enjoying snowboarding better than I could have imagined.

Im so happy i found this channel. Lots of great tips but he also helps build confidence. While helping new riders hes very pateint and shows how it will take time to learn but its okay to ask for help aswell.

Wow, so that's how we do it! I always just assumed a wizard cast me down the hill. Point it and go as I always say. Donderlab nailed it with the camera work! So supremely excellent!

I have #11. Get fit before going to the mountain. Easily overlooked, but SO vital. If you can learn all day, you will win. Great channel.

Hey man, just wanted to say that I watched your video before I went snowboarding for the first time today and this was so helpful- I had such a great experience. Just wanted to say thanks, you’re doing a great job!

Thank you,you’re the BEST snowboard master teacher 👍👍👍

Brilliant! I cannot thank you enough. I have taken this up at 51 years old and I am determined.

Man, I can't stress enough how important it is to get a beginner-compatible board. I just moved from a Rome Modrocker (flat rocker), which gave me a ton of trouble, to a Bataleon Magic Carpet, and what a world of difference did it make! huge!

Went snowboarding for the first time about a week ago and loved it so much your vids helped me have an amazing first time ‼️ preciate what your doing man

Great tips and tricks! Thanks for explaining better than myself to beginners and what / when to teach

I 💜 your videos they help so much‼️. I’m new to Breckenridge and am about to snowboard for the first time.

I just want to say thank you. Yesterday was my first time ever and i did it!. Great video, great tips, very well explained.

Brilliant video, fell like I've just had a private lesson.

Thanks! I haven’t been in seven years and am a perpetual amateur 😅 I went yesterday but only did the gondola runs in fear of getting off the lifts, haha. I had forgotten the best way to get off the lift without biting it. I’m going to practice the one foot out on the bunny hill today until I get it down.

This quality is amazing more like this please

Went snowboarding for the first time last season. I only went once, but I loved it. I'm getting amped for this next season and I've been scouring you channel for all the tips and insights I can find. Love your channel! Keep it up!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that this video really helped me. I was trying snowboard for the first time (my ski level is decent) I went 30 min on the school track to practice it and after that, I went on the top. Obviously, I spent the day falling and adjusting, but after 3h-4h, I was almost doing slaloms and barely fall. The only tip I accepted to hear from my friend was : bend your knees more. I thought I had to bend them that much only at higher speed but nope, helped me transtition from heels to toes and vice versa. Looking foward to my second day of snowboard!

Thanks So much,Im a Pro skier put now i enjoy snowboarding way more!

Just had my first day on the hill today, I cant wait to get back out there and improve. Thanks for the great video, awesome advice!

dude. seriously, i’ve watched this video 12 times. going on our first trip tomorrow, have to learn and guide my little boy down the hill as well. daddy needs to be on his game, and, just, THANK YOU! teaching is the greatest gift!! let you know how it goes.

Im so glad there are actual names for the stuff I've been doing intuitively cause trying to explain this stuff to friends is tricky

I like the new camera work. Good job Kevin!

love this tutorial. I am going back for more practice tomorrow

These are very SMART things to learn right away...

Damn! The new camera/filming/editing is looking slick! Your older beginner videos got me back into the sport and this will do the same for so many more people

Camera quality is amazing! Great production Kev

The production in this video is incredible

The most helpful tip I ever got was from a lift op. He said pinch your knees together on a toe turn and push them out (like doing a squat) on a heel turn. Not technically perfect, but it got me up and running and I was able to make adjustments from there.

Omg, this video is everything I need! I’ve watched so many random tips lately, but this video puts it all together and is easier to process in my head. Thank you so much, Kevin!🙌

Thanks for teaching I mastered it day one on everything except the jumps

I came back to say that I manage to learn snowboarding just with your video and after 2 hour i came down on green and after 4 time on green I just straight on red and finish just with 3 fall but those falls was because there were a lot of ice on track.

Somebody got a new camera, cameraman and some new editing tricks, nice look Kev!

Ok today it was my first time snowboarding i spent the 2 days before watching several times this video, and guess what i did great man thanks to you I wish I can send you a video to show you

One tip I have, is don't pull your heels up in your boots when doing a toe side turn. That'll cause you to balance all your weight onto your toes and at higher speeds that's a very wobbly position to be. Balancing on your toes is hard enough just standing up and it's not any easier on a snowboard. Make sure to just bend your knees a bit more and lean into the bindings with your feet flat against the board. That'll make sure you say stable in your athletic stance and keep your center of balance controlled during the turn.

i am definitely subscribing

this film really helped me!!! i started snowboarding a few weeks ago and i love it. thanks for this tips

Thank you for this!

Had an all day snowboarding lesson for my 40th and broke my wrist an hour in..ploughed through it but had to end the session just before linked turns as the pain was unbearable, so this vid really helps with the last part I needed to learn! Hopefully back on the snow soon all healed and ready to learn :)

i’m watching this after my first day. I started on the bunny hill and ended up on one of the runs of the highest hills. I don’t think I progressed to quickly because i followed all of these tips without even knowing 😂

Kevin took the KZfaqrs suggestions and got a new camera!!!

The is definitely the most high quality video you have ever put out. It’s really well done and definitely your best vid yet. Great job Kev keep ui the good work.

Killer vid, as always Kevin! Anyone/everyone can appreciate this instructional

Watching after first session 😁

Got me through my first day, much appreciated!!

This is such a good video!! Helped me so sooo much. It's so clear, and the way you explain the technique for each progression is so precise. Hope this video reaches more and more people who are trying to learn. And your whole channel is the best! Thanks a bunch Kevin

Yooo is this snowboard addiction?? Haha just kidding, the new video style is dopee

Thank you! my first introductory video!😊

Get going Kev. You are in control of your destiny. No country can hold you down.

I neeeeeed these tips

Kevin, man you’ve saved my life starting to snowboard. Any tips/tricks for spring boarding in slush/POW combo?? I’ve been between WA & CO and struggled recently with spring slush

It's summer and I'm watching this! :D I'm kind of excited to learn new skills and sports I guess. Thank you so much for this video! I love it!

This was so helpful! I was able to enjoy my first day snowboarding because of your tips!!

Sweet! Thank you for the tips very helpful never been snowboarding but I would like to at least try it out and get a feel for it.

Thanks for this video so so much! I did my first lessons today, but my instructor rushed through everything and I didn't do parts of the turns individually but all together and got so sad because I didn't feel like a learned anything and got scared to try anything bu myself after the lessons. Thank you for giving me confidence back.

I think as a beginning snowboarder it is important to clarify...Toe and heel blade, toe blade is used only when facing uphill...and heel blade is only used facing down hill, that is an important distinction and can be really confusing when referencing heel/ toe blade...why you have to flip position etc. It is really an important concept that is easily overlooked😉 especially on turns and connecting turns, and the reason for a snowboard that can be used in both directions, that doesn't necessarily have a nose or a tail....

im a skier and im getting a snowboard next week really stoked

yesterday was my first day on snowboard, I didn't watch any tutorials or tips just went with my friends, after an hour I ate sh!t so hard that my helmet cracked and i got myself concussion, 10/10 I will do it again I haven't had this much fun in a long time

Very informative and helpful. Thanks

Kevin, this was put together very well, your friend did a great job, nice dude👌🏾

this looks more like a new movie also the background looks sick

Hey kevin, yesterday was my fifth day Snowboarding, Now I go up to the highest slope at the top of the mountain because of you. I remember about a month ago I was watching these videos and saying it’s gonna take forever to be able to get out of the bunny slope and into some higher stuff but it only took me a small amount of time to be able to hit the steepest slope. Now I am practicing to hit small jumps. Just wanted to say thank you, and keep doing this these videos because you could help a lot of people like you helped me. 🖤

I just wanted to say thank you for many times. I watched this video more than 10 times before went snowboarding the first time of my entire 60 years life. Guess what I was able to progress to step 9 in 2 hours there. I can’t wait for my next snowboarding trip to try step 10

Kevin! We need some more intermediate tips! I'm trying to prepare myself for next season

Bro this video was insanly good built !

I'm very happy fo have found this channel. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips! This will help me for next time lol

Amazing quality Kevin! Thanks for the new video and looking forward to getting back on the slopes Down Under in a couple of months!

This is SO helpful!

I like this so much! Really helpful, so I would like to get out to Montana and perhaps work there involved in the skiing scene these tutorial videos really help me feel better about my confidence going in to the slippery slidy

THANK YOU! I am teaching my 6 y/o nephew tomorrow!

Cool jacket

Love this video! Great quality! You make it look so simple lol but I love it! Great job! Thank you!

If it starts to go wrong think Xmas tree , squat even weight arms out like the tree , look forward what’s coming not down whats passed ❤ best sport ever ❤ I done a lot,snowboarding is art❤

Definitely subscribed and thanks for reminding me to have fun ! Will do ! 😎

It’s was really helpful, I’ve learned all this in my first 5 hours of training, biggest respect, man😊😊😊

Im good at skiing, but i want to try snowboarding for the first time! Thank you for all your tips!! :) im excited to try this week

I dont know why but for me going backwards is the easiest, which is kinda ridiculous. I feel a bit backwards brained. But this was explained slowly so i might start understanding what i should start doing, thank you! Will try these when I go again

Thank you..I'm so ready after watching this. I'll try Marmot this weekend .I'm beginner. Thanks Kevin😘

Didn't know a lot of those things and I have one full season under my belt and would consider myself intermediate lol. Will definitely implement those tips tomorrow already

love it!❤❤❤❤🧡🧡💛💛💜💜

Ive seen a lot of beginner tutorials from your channel but this is the best i think. New camera? Cooool
