Love the video I’ve been riding for 8 years and some of the statistics were surprising to me. One tip I would also add is don’t ride tired… if you are nearing the end of the day don’t go for “one last run” or if you do then take it easy. As you get tired you tend to fall more and this could cause you to get hurt.

Two good hits on my tailbone and head, and I was barely able to ride. I ended up just heel-riding, because I was too tired to carve without falling.

To your point about skiers causing more accidents - I was run over by a skier a couple weeks ago. I was working on carving - heelside, toeside over and over again (it was super obvious what I was going to do next) and the guy cam flying up from behind right after I started a toeside turn. I glanced up hill to make sure I wasn't in anyone's way, and he crashed directly into me. After checking to make sure he was ok, he said, "I may have had one too many Fireballs." I was pissed man! Drinking while riding/skiing is about the dumbest thing you can do on the mountain.

my first ever lesson was taught on a dry ski slope, the guy there taught us to fall and use your elbows to "catch" yourself, so when falling forward but both arms up with palms facing in like a "shield" and if you fall backwards pull your hands in a fist to your hips so you elbows protrude behind you, i did 2 full seasons, had many falls and this saved me countless times even with some huge slams on XL jumps. it also feels much more natural to put something out infront of you or behind you to "catch" the fall

Thank you for mentioning the ''go big or go home'' quote, true to the core, dont do that guys, usually its go home, its not that you shouldnt commit to new tricks but do them step by step, every trick and skill needs training, if you choose to go big and end up going home remember that it will break you mentally for a long time. Stay safe and take your time.

Very helpful video! Although I would say, that it's better to fall on your forearms than just keep the hands to yourself, instead of landing on your wrists. Because if you just keep your hands near your body, the body is going to take all the impact. If you land on your forearms, then you can absorb the impact more and you'll mostly just slide out of the crash. This has helped me a lot and hopefully will help others too. This is not meant disrespectfully to the video, it's just my preferred way of falling. Have a good day!

It doesn't happen every crash, but several times over the course of the season I will freeze/dislocate my left shoulder.

Surgery isn't an option, physical therapy helps, but it's still pretty tough to ride within my skill level anymore because the odds of messing my shoulder up. Love the vids, by the way~

@@cazhamill2406 it sounds like you might want to start working out your shoulders more. The stronger your muscles are around the tendons and ligaments that hold them together, the less likely an injury will occur. Also make sure to work on flexibility. Do a lot of stretching after also yoga helps a lot. Just keep increasing your physical well-being and your diet along with your skill level. If we neglect anything, we are that much more likely to get injured. I hope I'm not saying things that you already know but if I did oh well. Just reminding myself as well.

There's a lot to be said about working on your awareness while sliding down a run after a fall... Learning to roll in such a way that the board is down hill then engaging that uphill edge and transferring the momentum to standing back up and riding away. Sliding out of control can lead to that dreaded sudden stop.

I only tried snowboarding for the first time only a year ago and crash pants worked amazing for me. I usually get hurt quite a bit around the coccyx area when I fall on my back, but with crash pants I was falling again and again without getting any pain in that area whatsoever. It made me more confident, since I wasn't as afraid to fall, so I've managed to learn faster. They are obviously a bit uncomfortable, but it's not that bad and you get used to it quite quickly.

I relate to falling on my wrists a lot. It can be really hard to not instinctually fall on your wrist, especially when it all feels so fast, one way that I kind of trained myself to not fall on my hands is doing "t- rex arms." You lift your forarms in front of your chest and it looks like you are doing t-rex arms. When you fall you'll fall on your forearm. It does look kind of silly but it really helped me with a safer falling technique. I"m not sure how safe it is to have the impact hit your shoulders but at least my wrist don't feel like they're gonna fall off.

Great tips man thanks for the videos keep going🤘 Ps.

The snow was softer in that area and I pulled hands in and rolled, but got super unlucky and my hand got pressed into my side at the ribs/peck level and I wound up popping a rib out from the impact and pulled my peck muscle. It hurt to take deep breaths until I popped my rib back in and now my peck is like 60% healed from the pain I had. I say this to say, I was tired by last run and had no business doing any tricks because my body felt "lazy".

Ive almost been smoked or cut of by skis more times than I can count on my fingers and toes now that i think of it.

You should also mention back protectors. Most important item after the helmet. As a snowboarder you will be sitting on the slope from time to time. The chance of somebody hitting you is quite high unfortunately.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song at the absolute end of the video? Nice one btw. Hope I‘ll be able to remember allthis next week. ;)

Im at the point now where mostly I just fall and slide out on my back, and the fall-line just kinda cradles me. Get to that point and things will be waaay less painful. Wear a backpack for work and its even more mild. As for park jumps, I cant really speak on the severity of this - definitely cant go into the terrain park on the clock 😂 but maybe I will one day on my day off and discover that its a lot worse... hence why Im practicing lots of side hits first.

I think your statistics on ski v snowboarding accidents are a little misleading. Sure, the percentage of skiers causing accidents is higher, but that's because there's 3/4 times more skiers on the mountain than snowboarders (even more in certain regions). When you account for that, the accident rates are pretty much equal.

If you catch your downhill edge. Tuck into a rolie polie and you'll simply roll back onto your board without any injury and you'll be able to keep your momentum

This was a VERYSMART Video to watch as a Beggining Snowboarder even after being a Skateboarer for over 50 on and off...

That''s 50 years on and off... I started Skateboarding in 1974. Stopped in December of 1979. then came back to it after an Alva Store Anniversary Party in 2006. Only if I could snowboard everyday like you guys get too. Thank you for the Video...

Not going to lie I've seen this in my recommended I thought I wouldn't need this cause I know how to snowboard without falling, but while learning to ride switch I thought I should probably watch this.

I can really recommend using crash pants as a beginner. Feeling your spine coming out of your mouth when you bum drop ruins the rest of your week. I use demon flex force x2 d3o.

I hate to say I've fractured my wrists a total of 4 times haha. Twice skateboarding, once boarding, and once soccer. Can safely say all of 3/4 experiences were because I tried to break my fall sticking my hands forward as mentioned in this video. Going to snowboard again for the first time in about 5 years(beginner/intermediate - can link basic turns), so had to watch some videos on this. This is great. I know already to keep my hands in towards my chest and distribute falls, but man one slip of the mind and it can be ER for you and no more fun for the trip. Plus that added suspense of returning, I'm excited but wary. Definitely going to pick up some wrist guards in addition to the helmet. Probably shouldn't have tried to follow my older brother's line down a little side jump as well XD Thanks for the video!

So if I am falling face first because I caught an edge, how can I fall safely without using my wrists?

@pickle9705 3 ай бұрын

am i a little too late for this comment? anyway fall on ur arms instead of ur wrists. for example, when u fall face first u put ur arms up like ur guarding a punch

I wrecked trying 3s off a big jump and landed on my back because I caught my edge on the lip but I came back and landed it.

@jakobmanton6889 Жыл бұрын

I find that wrist guards don't actually help they just cause the fracture/break to form higher up on the arm

@TwinbeeUK Жыл бұрын

I use Flexmeter guards which allow some controlled extension, but not enough to break the wrist.

do you have any tips for BS180 jumps to get less edge catches. I literally caught all.. worst were BS edges.. FS were also not so funny.. but compared to BS edges way less horrible . I moved to smaller jumps.. that helped already a lot.. but still about some percentage fail and some fail horrible.. want to have horrible crashes down to zero. Is there a safe way to get it fast into muscle memory.. living room training strapped in on carpet I have zero problems.. but as soon I am on snow and speed, the success rate is dropping.

@ShredSchool1 3 жыл бұрын

ouch! It's never fun catching a backside edge. We have a full breakdown of your weight placement for BS 180's in Shred School www.edshreds.com Watch the downhill edge, protect it with your life, and if you come up short on the spin, scrub it around on your toes, rather than leaning on your heel where you can catch an edge. I would practice on the slope (no jump) just landing halfway and finishing it on your toeside edge so you train yourself not to catch.

@winterzahn 3 жыл бұрын

@@ShredSchool1 thx for the tip. I started on slope with safe toe edge landings, slightly underrotated, , transferred it to jumps.. and then I got ambitions to land perfectly flat, body axis straight perpendicular to transition/landing.. this way I got my worst heelside catch of life when underrotating... almost blew me out. I will return to safe toe edge landings and improve from there.. thx
