- This was my friends very first time snowboarding at a resort and he had never used a T Bar or Button Lift before..... with some very funny results...... now know why they call then drag lifts!!!
- Sport
props to that dude for not giving up or getting angry, HOWEVER this place was dead, 0 people around, imagine falling every time but there are lots of people behind you who are getting impatient.
sounds like a nightmare
I felt bad for the guy. I remember being there, and it sucked. He's not a quitter
...so I give him props.
+Sara Badadah Awwww..... :( That's no bueno! Nobody likes being laughed at when first learning to do something....and snow sports can be unforgiving.
I agree, but i think that if you are this far away from making it, you should start more basic.
mydejavooo1 me too
I had to learn in front of 30 people. Fell upwards of 6 times
Crazy the attendant told him under the arm for the disc. So much easier threw the legs
What a patient and helpful lift operator!
first time snowboarding and you send your friend to the T-Bar... What a friend!!!!! lolll
Yes he should send him to Alps on Marmolada There are no T-bars
Gondola at Keystone - right to 11,600ft.
There are pretty much only T-bars in Finland :D
Same to my situation because thats the fukin only thing they have,chair lift takes 5mins to get up top.

When it got stuck to his hood I died 😂
Oh, me too! I was CRYING!
Knicklyn they should have let the idiot go up by the scruff of his neck
SAMEEEEEE
@@dadcanufixit like to see you attempt it
@@lakzerk2344 done it a few times tbf, but only on ski’s. I got 2 good legs and use them as nature intended, not strap them together to form 1 central point. If that was any good then we would have evolved that way, that’s how evolution works.
on a snowboard its actually really hard to go on that thing, so unless you've done that on a snowboard dont judge him XD
+thijs van de pol I have done this on a snowboard and its not very difficult. First few tries you fall off, but not just topple over like him lol... no body control whatsoever here :)
It is difficult when you're a beginner. The edge of the board can catch really easily and then throw you off...they can really yank you at start..I got catapulted and hit my head off the ice on a button lift in Scotland many years ago. Instinct is to sit down..but you have to stand upright...it's just do much going on when you are still learning how to actually balance on a board. Plus it's embarrassing. I gave up and walked up the hill!! Used chairlift since and much easier. Gave up on the tows.
He's lucky there ain't so many people in the queue. If this happened in a busy skiing area in Austria, they wouldn't have treated him very nicely. :/
It is actually easy if there aren't too many holes on the road of the bar. It takes some time to get used to it because It is not EASY. At my first two tries I fell because there were a lot of people using the T-Bar, some are heavy some are not but they push their board too hard on the ground so they leave some holes on the road. It makes it so hard to handle with the board. So I got someone to help me and I got used to it.
@@tigerfeet2813 then he needs to learn self control first before attempting to use any sort of lift.
Such nice lift operators,I was like that once....
The first one wasn't very nice tbh, the second one was
Legend tells... This man is still trying
Made
🤣🤣
His buddy was full of helpful advice. "Let go of it!" "If you don't got it, let go of it." LOL..
First time I tried snowboarding (as a lifelong skateboarder) I was dumbfounded by how easy and natural the whole thing felt, until I tried my first drag lift.... they just aren't designed for snowboards, you can do it with practice but there's a learning curve for sure.
It's because the back foot is open. Just keep the bacl foot bindings closed and you will get up the hill with no problems. No reason to open the back binding.
@@LateDude96 you need to open the back binding to push yourself forward, that’s how you move on flat ground, it’s also WAY faster than walking and takes less time to out the board back on, basically it’s just a pure advantage and you don’t know what your talking about, these lifts are also very easy to use, yes it is a learning curve but the hardest part is staying balanced on it, the beginning is the easy part, it’s easy for your board to twist or something happen once your going and you hit an edge
Honestly, my first time snowboarding I have no problem going on the lift, that was the easy part, I mostly struggled carving and going fast cause I would lose my balance and catch an edge, now I have no problem and have been down some of the biggest/steepest mountain ski hill resorts in Canada, lots of in the trees riding too which is a lot more fun (coming from a snowmobiler who rides in the mountains)
Damn the lift attendant needs a bonus just for that.
The important thing is that he finally made it. Good job men =)
I am laughing SO HARD at this!
I've never used a T-bar. I'm sure I would have a heck of a time with it as well.
Never seen anybody going up a bottom lift by Holding it with his arms,, wether on skis or on a snowboard you put the darned Thing between your legs...
You've not seen me at my very first day on skis. My Ski slipped away and I almost lost control, the t-bar slipped away and I luckily catched it, so the rest of the lift I hang there .. :D
Eh, i used to do it on some lifts, i preferred it that way just for comfort. I'd hook it under my armpit
Nah man, most snowboarders hold it with their arms, it's more comfortable since you're standing sideways
Gotta give him credit for determination. It looked like he hadn't done any type of board sport before so def props for trying something new. "Somebody that tells you that they've never failed is either a liar, or has never had the courage to try something new". Dude needs to practice his skating and one foot riding before attempting T-bars & Button lifts.
Very helpful & persistent lifty
1:52 had me laughing so hard
It's hard the ENTIRE time on a snowboard. Even when you get half way up you can loose your balance and cut an edge and go down. Takes a fair bit of experience and concentration on a snowboard.
it seems like this type of lift is really hard to use for a beginner snowboarders. Especially if you have never used it before. This guy did pretty good i think only took 3 attempts.
This was so me on my first try I got halfway up the mountain and it started to drag me to the side and you know what happens if you panic and don't let it pull you back in.. Owch
That guy from the staff must have nerves of steel
It’s really hard to hold on the t bar sometimes especially with one foot out of the snowboard
wow, definitely the fastest T-bar i've seen haha
There faster ones in Finland :DD
@@olluska I've been to quite a few resorts in Finland, even had a season pass to Isosyöte. But I must say this specific one in Isosyöte that they were attempting in the video is the fastest one I've seen
@@martina2659 Remember there are bigger resorts in Finland like Ylläs and Levi. There are fast t-bars
@@olluska Yea, great resorts, I especially like Southpark at Levi
@@martina2659 In Levi the lift number 6 is really fast
I realy hope it didn't put him off the sport - hope he went for lessons.
Wasn't he trying to get to them? :)
isailwind lol
So happy he got going 🙌 I've been there as probably a few others here 😀✅
Ahh the unbalanced snowboarder vs the T bar.
A classic matchup
Haaaa!! I love a good chairlift/t-bar fail. Biggest error he kept making was not having his board straight, back foot already balanced on the board and not letting the t-bar pull him... best part was the backpack getting caught on the bar!!!
The poor dears could have walked up by now. Maybe a nice summer sport! 🤣
This is in Finland, t-bar Paradise
I hope he know how to come down better than he does going up . :)
Why do people feel the need to sit down...
Because when it yanks, you fall forward but at the same time,you dont want to let it go so instinctly, your body feels like its safe to crouch and hold it.
Vu An that was why I had such a hard time with t-bar
It's a mobster thing.
by the length of this I was expecting a comp. Just wow.
Those are some fast af T bars lol
Once the t-bar dragged me into one of the poles and somehow got stuck on the ladder that goes up the back to service it. It then front flipped me onto my head and face. Got a pretty bad concussion from that one
those button lifts scarred me for life.
This is why you need lessons by an snowboard instructor...
Not very helpful friend... I struggled on the first day as well, luckily very helpful staffs at Glenshee helped me through, that gentleman taught me the right technique and ran with me a little bit to keep me from falling due to the jerky start, after 3 to 4 runs I could do it myself
This is just superb
That was a great lifty at the button. Worked with the guy who was evidently a fresh noob straight off the turnip truck..
needed to just put him on a magic carpet
Best lift guy ever
Worked a poma disc lift for a season i hated it but man was it hilarious 😂 🤣 😆 😭. The one I operated the bars stacked up and there was a lever to launch people up the hill (detached surface lift) 700fpm. I'd tell everyone stay standing, ski/ride up hill and so many would just sit on the ground haha. "LET GO" nope they'd rather be dragged to the top
This is in Finland, which skiing place there
I hate the tbar and platter lift as much as the next guy, but I couldn't help laughing.
Oh I do love Finland tho , epic skiing and not crowded like the alps !
I fell of the button lift and my skis popped off haha I miss it so much
the staff's person is to admire
Lost it at 01:50 haha!
:-))
Same 😅😭😭😭 i watched it like 10 times hahahaha
Lmaooo
All those people riding the lift in front of him. LOL. stop, run, stop, run, stop, run
Beim ersten mal Sitz sie einfach nieder. Ich kann nicht mehr!😹
I feel bad for this man.. I was like that before
super cool po galing gusto ko rin yan ma try ;heheh
i have only tryed snowboard 1 day and i finded the T-bar very very easy i had zero problems there. But i had a hell get down the slope haha
is this filmed in finland ruka
Can I ask: What Ski resort is this?
I build freqcency converters. Normaly people do not know what it is good for and where you need it.
But i think if this Lift had a variable frequency drive, you could set it to 20% speed and the guy would have made it at the third try.
Whats easier poma or this?
This is why skiing is much easier for lifts in general whether that’s getting on or off
It would seem that we're still having the same problems staying up this year too... Snowboarding Rauris, Austria CRASHES 30 secs of hard hits in HD
Should've tried the chairlift :P
poor guy :/ begginers have it hard with the balance most hard with snow..board
Is he using the correct foot up front ?
Was it his first time boarding?
In case you wonder: he has a helmet because the lifts keep knocking him over the head
Can anyone tell me which resort this is?
Very good STAFF!:)
The machine cought him by the jacket . I thought he was gonna get dragged threw the forest up there .
nah this had me fucking crying of laughter LMAOOOOOOO
That's motivated me so much I mean I'm not so bad
Is that "iso syöte" in finland? :D looks like it
Kyllä se näyttää siltä :)
+Soccer4freestyle nojoo. Vähän ku kattoo tarkempaa nii ihan alussa talon seinän yläkulmassa on se logo jossa on aalto ja "syötä"
+Soccer4freestyle kyl toi on isolt syötteelt
I hate t-bars/ button lift!!! I did it once with ski & snowboard & promised myself never ever to use a t-bar/button lift again. I hate those things. Maybe this year I try again. But normally I look out for a route without t-bars/button lifts.
this is a great example of a kid who never snowboarded before. Then he goes out and spends a bunch of money on equipment for his first time.
I can see myself holding up a long line for sure
I have no idea why people need to free their behind leg when they use T these kind of lifts. I feel much more in control with both bindings on. All you have to do is sit straight and put pressure on the front foot.
that's the way I do it, the problem is that it's hard to get stappt in fast, I have damaged my bindings many times stomping on them, recently I have bought fastech bindings so it will be a lot easier now
I think its because you have to scoot over to the tbar first, with a line behind you, you don't normally have the convenience to strap up at the tbar.
Ну хохма! Насмеялась от души!😂
I'm skiing idk if its harder but a lot of people fall on t bar with ski, i actually succeed in my first try and i was like 10 so the tip is ofcourse not sitting and only letting it push you also not leaning back to much holding your skii paralel to each other
this gona be me this winter
As a snowboarder, we’ve all been there, and those things are hard to ride, even as advanced rider
i only have tryed snowboard 1 time. I had zero problem with the Tbar that i finded very easy. But to get down in the pist was alot of problem for me haha
where is this?
Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan!
Jep
NIINP
+Elias 22 juu
Joo
Jep
That t bar looks insane. I've never seen one. I've seen the button lift and magic carpet bit not that. It looks like it would hurt you
@1:52 is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
3:16 lol did anyone notice there's no bar attached to that thing?
I've been snowboarding for over 20 years and haven't used a T bar or button for at least ten of those. Just go to a resort where you can get around without using them. They are not for snowboarders. St Anton, Courchevel, Meribel, Tignes, Flaine, Val, Verbier, Chamonix, all negotiated happily without going near one. Or learn to ski...
This is why I ski in Aspen
good job it wasn't that ski lift in Georgia
At least they havnt any que waiting!
Ohhh this is gonna me be next month
Ok, if he can't get up the hill, then he probably shouldn't attempt to go down imo
maybe its cause I work at a ski resort but this made me laugh for ten mins LOL people are dumb
Might have been nice for someone to demonstrate.
I have never had this issue...
I haven't eather
thats because you know how to stand still without falling down... wtf is wrong with people
it may look easy, but it actually is pretty difficult.
no it isnt.... you just suck apparently
rude
not really, rope lifts and etc. are challenging if you are not familiar with them
lol... sorry if i offended you.
dude t-bars aren't hard to enter.
funny..but very normal for newbies ~
At least its not a powday with 100 locals screaming back of the line.🙃
I’m just screaming stop treating it as a chair until the tow has extended the whole way
thats place is called isosyöte its in finland i go there many times couse im live nearby:)
Try skis. That was painful
It was not staged. He was born like this.
Why is it that the lift operator can pull him around fine, but once he grabs the actual button lift, his legs turn to rubber?
Because after your fist couple of fails your legs turn to rubber as you're embarrassed, and really anxious! For some people (inc. myself) there's a very natural urge to sit on the bar or button. Hardly inexplicable considering you ride zip lines and rope swings in a similar way. Once you get over the fact it needs to pull you horizontally, rather than just get over gravity it IS easy.
