I’ve been riding 20+ years and there’s almost always something to learn from your videos. If not, it’s just fun to watch you having a good time on the mountain. Your delivery is super modest. Keep it up man, you’re helping a lot of people.

One of the more basic things you can do when shredding is riding in alignment. Specifically being mindful of where your back hand/arm is. If you make an honest effort to make sure it’s always over the tail of your board you’ll see that it will help get your turns around quicker, especially on steeps.

Diggy dude, I'm 52. I used to do physical therapy and x-ray. Young guys who thinks someone else sucks usually scream louder than old dudes when they get hurt. If someone can ride switch easily down any terrain then they are getting good... I didn't start until I was 25. Mommy and daddy weren't paying my way so I could laugh at others and tell them they suck. Those babies cry louder than anyone else when they get really hurt. The guys that are really amazing don't knock technique and they don't laugh when someone else breaks a bone...being a technical rider will save your life. Ride on.

I just started snowboarding this last year at 30 years old. I've put in about 60 hours in this winter. I'm getting into the carving going down steeper hills but I wondered why I was slowing down too much. I ride goofy and I steer with my back leg so "skidding". I'm going to start working on that and switch. Thanks!

@Patrick-zr8tv 3 жыл бұрын

@@DarkRayden666 I've never been snowboarding so it might not apply but one thing I had to do when learning to drop in on a quarter pipe is to just stamp down as hard as I could on the front of the board. What that did was prep me and force me to put most of my weight on the front of the board and slam it down onto the ramp. What I'm trying to say is maybe just try leaning to the nose really far and sliding around a bit to get you comfortable with a lean to either side of the board. I'd also recommend bending your knees a little more, it'll make you feel a bit more stable and you'll be more comfortable to move your stance around.

I really liked your comments about the width of your stance. I am boarder that has pretty much only been riding with skiers in trees and moguls for 17+years. The input that I have had about technique has been so limited because I'm only riding with skiers that instructional videos like these are incredibly helpful and I am looking forward to seeing your video that would go more in depth about stance and foot positioning and how that can help and hinder your riding in the terrain that you choose.

On your last point about keeping your board tuned, it would be rad to do a legit how to series on tuning your board: base repair, edges, waxing/scraping. Takes very minimal tools and a great skill that’s saves so much time and money. I’ve had so many friends that I taught because I was lucky enough to learn from an old timer at a ski shop how to do it. Had so many acquaintances ask how my board is super fast and I carry speed while they get stuck- “simple, tune up your board.” Not only that but it is therapeutic as heck for me the night before going out to shred to get my daughter’s, wife’s and my boards all dialed in

I was shredding down beginner slopes on my first day .. took a 20 min coffee break after 5 hrs and came back only to forget my technique for getting off the chairlift😞. Tried to scoot off with my back leg rather then letting the small hill send me and almost ripped my knee cap in half. I was stuck in the snow with a twisted leg for about 30 secs to long .. currently healing. I somehow still got my ass up and shredded down again but once I got to the bottom the shock and trauma slapped me in the face. Can’t wait to get out again next season .. best adrenaline I’ve ever experienced!

Hey I liked your video I have a question well actually a lot of questions about my new gear but what do you think personally about step on bindings by Burton because I am currently not loving the boots and The binding seem pretty tight and the boots are pretty snug having a hard time getting used to this style they don't really seem to save me much time either. Also more specifically I have a question about carving turns versus skidded turns on my old equipment I liked to go fast so relied a lot more on my carving turns but on my new equipment I'm just not comfortable and I don't like it because it makes me do the skidded turn more often therefore slows me down and is not as fun just still struggling with this new gear and what to do about it! I subscribed hope to learn more thanks so much!

From what I seen in this video when he was just riding, I can see the difference between now and what he's been like the last couple years. Not that what he's been like isn't that great, but he's actually starting to look more fluid & flowing, overall, & that's an awesome thing! 👍🙂🤙🏻 It's not just the board, he's obviously gotten used to it now and it does change how everything feels and you adapt to that, but it's more, I just want him to know there's been a noticeable difference & he's progressed with his his overall fluidity..., 👊 Keep making these great tips and instructional videos for us dude, they can definitely help! ✌...,
