Amateur Snowboarder VS Pro Level Side Hits

I'm an amateur snowboarder, but I've always wanted to ride side hits like the pros! So in this video, I try riding some pro-level side hits!

Calling yourself an amateur is a stretch😂. Great video tho

"Amateur Snowboarder"... 1 minute in : does a flip off a side hit

@mikehayes3324 Ай бұрын

Dude, throw some slo mo replays of the hits after the full speed shot/celebration. I kept rewinding because they're sweet and I wanted to see em again.

That last wildcat was sooooo steezy! They’re usually so snappy and quick, that was the floatiest. Well done man!

If you do a double tail grab (bloody Dracula) it stalls you out and looks the steeziest of steez 😮‍💨

@bojyles Ай бұрын

Loved the video. That looks like the perfect day on the mountain to me. Challenging yourself on some fun side hits. It doesn't get much better. It's funny that people in the comments are complaining that you call yourself an amateur and not pro. He doesn't get paid... so he's an amateur. I'm an amateur and do flips and spins on skis. 99% of people doing flips and spins are amateurs.

You realize dudes are doing 4 flips while spinning like 1900000s on the pro level?

Probably a more appropriate title would have been expert snowboarder versus pro snowboarder. He's clearly an expert and top 1% on the mountain.

So sick Liam! For some reason I have a way easier time jumping off of side hits than park jumps. Any idea what’s wrong with me? Haha

@Nick-eu5lr Ай бұрын

Probably because most sidehits force you on an edge and on parkjumps you have to plan your turns before the jump

@matthewwright7017 Ай бұрын

YES he is the definition of an amateur, someone who is focusing on their weaknesses and improving on them, compared to a PRO who can just always land a double backflip or darkside 1080s, when you compare yourself to what’s actually possible on the snow you realize how beginner you are
