Growing up in Tennessee, it's been sick riding with Zeb over the years! It was a huge honor to direct/edit this film! Thanks Zeb, keep rippin brotha!
I’m 13 riding sugar and it feels different every time after seeing him make it his the reason I joined a free style team
Great job with the video, you really let his personality show.
I grew up riding sugar mountain in NC. The fact that anyone could make it to this level from that mountain blows my mind.
I say the same thing. He can ride any level of ice and snow lol
i love sugar i’m from nc too
I'm from the north, and I've ridden sugar, yall got some good riders down there.
@@jonnydupuis2041 alot of these small parks are stepping up thier park game alot influenceing alot of crazy kids to go big. We're seeing the blow up of skateparks from the 90s and early 2ks
East coast riders tend to be some of the best. They can ride anything
We all wish Zeb was back in Aspen for 2021 defending the golden knuckles! Great video!
Why isn't he coming back to Aspen?
@Valerie Powell I hope he feels better soon! He is special to watch.
Thanks for the love and support!
Yeah but he’s not because he was a viewer driven entry with no real talent.
He would get mopped by every single pro even the girls because he’s just a fake.
Xgames your as bad as the media playing race cards for viewership
@@neromaniac4658 lmao you real mad huh 😭
It's how this sport was birthed back in our days. All gas no brakes. Riding Snoqualmie to Baker finding anything to turn into a jump only to huck yourself as hard as you could. Getting kicked off other local mountains when nobody even knew what Snowboarding was. This kid embodies the soul of snowboarding. Doing things on the fly not for points but because he loves it. It warms my heart to see someone like this strapped in. Much respect.
Let’s have All Gas No Brakes interview this guy
Another snoqualmie native? Guess we both like riding ice 😂 thanks for being part of the OGs man, these days acres (central) is all boarders lapping the park
It warms my heart too!
I can't get over that inhuman fall/kip up. He's like a cat that always find his way to his feet
I’ve had something similar happen before, obviously not dropping in to a massive kicker, but when it happened I literally didn’t know what went down I was just back on my feet. Its such a strange feeling.
That was SO styled out sick it’s like break dancing on snowboard move! 😂
breaks my brain everytime I watch it lol
its called kick up, learn your trick names
YESSSSSS i imagine a lot of people saw that and cant fathom the insane level of reflexes it took
this guy seems so humble
Its special when you get to see somebody as talented as him enter that flow state. Not alot of people can tap into that when they need it.
Whole heartedly agree.
Many people don't even understand the concept of flow state, let alone being able to feel it and then tap into it on command.
It's the sign of having no fear, no responsibility, no hardship, the core of feeling life!
dude this guys accent had me geeked. Sounded like a sterotypical surfer dude lmaoo
Impossible to hate on humility like that!
Way to make the dream a reality, Zeb! 🤩
*sees glasses on the floor*
"just what I needed" - goes on to wear them in his runs and wins gold, what a legend
I don't think there is a single human being on any mountain, anywhere in the world more creative or more likeable than Zeb, what a total legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥
marcus kleveland:
This guy is so fun to watch, you can see he is having a great time while competing. You can't help but be excited with him. Hope you heal soon bro.. we need to see more. Great future ahead. #NewFan
Zeb is the first person to make Snowboarding very interesting to watch in years. Great personality also. Justin good editing.
You can't help but like this guy. He just seems so genuine in his love for snowboarding, and grateful.
So sick. I just binge watched hours of snowboarding after watching his xgames win. I'm officially addicted.
Dude flows for real gnarly style.
This guy is freaking the essence of flow. Like wow this guy is dope! Can’t wait to see more from him.
stupidly comment
4:46 blew my mind when it happened. The fact that he didn't roll over and instead just popped up was so sick. Zeb in the zone!
Same here! That was insane!
One of the best humans alive. This video is so sick
Thanks so much bruddah, Zeb is the man!
edited to perfection with the interview in the background.
Seen him a ton riding in carinthia at Mt. Snow over the years. So clean, creative and fun to watch
Cataloochee is where I learned to snowboard, and go to college right by his hometown. Zebs such an inspiration for southerners
heck yea i raced there throughout highschool
Love this. California has the “pitted, so pitted” guy, North Carolina has Zeb
He’s such a laid back humble kid too that makes his gold medal even more deserved man
love to see fellow north carolinians livin there dreams
How is it out there (besides snowboarding)
@@elijahgavin6706 Western NC, the mountains are super unique, has a really good skate, longboard, and MTB scene, some of the best trout fishing in the US. It's kinda like baby Colorado with shitty snow
This guy is like the SSX game impersonated
I love this kids mentality! All gas no brakes. Watching his "autopilot" skill blows my mind, keep killing it!
i snowboard at cataloochee right now! i had no clue that my favorite snowboarder used to board there 🤙🏻
4:45 looks like there are invisible strings attatched that lift him up again. amazing
Zeb is the definition of flow, his runs were just...you know...And shout to this producer, great video!
Lots of snowboarding in NC glad to see someone representing
4:44 BEST TRICK! Love it!!!
i use to snowboard all the at Cat Ski Area and use to see Zeb and all his friends i grew up with al the time!! guys so talented
I love his vibe - "I do it because it's fun and I love doing it" mentality is way cooler than I need to get that gold medal whatever the cost 😊
Legend in the making here. So fresh, smooth, yet totally crazy haha. Hope you fly far!!
Just a humble snowboarder from NC. I didnt even know they had snowboarding in that state. I like his style.
This guy is amazing!! I just hope he doesn’t hurt himself seriously.
God bless Zeb....respect from NC.
I love it when u see such an amazing dedicated black man proves to the world that no sports is any specific man's sports it's who's ever that fights the hardest n who God blessed with the top skills
You are the definition of snowboarding in its purest form.
this event was so crazy, zeb and marcus went insane. i've come back to rewatch the event like 4 times
this a perfect example to love what you do and have fun with it
Snowboarding needs more people like Zeb
Good for this guy breaking into the industry and doing his thing. Very cool.
Dude is really just in it for the culture. Love it
Yes! This is exactly what competition snowboarding has needed! Ive been tired of the lack of inspired style in competition snowboarding where creative expression is reduced in preference for execution of a narrow set of athletically disciplined tricks. My interest in and respect for snowboarding has always been about expression of creative inspiration, first and foremost. Good to see that given the stage here and, WOW, this guy's creative style is unbelievable! Awesome! Great behind-the-scenes narrative here, too. Cant wait to see more from Zeb!
Stellar attitude!! Keep that up and watch a storied career unfold. Oh, mad skills on the board too, by the way!!
What a pure, sweet guy based on this video. I would love to just chill with him for a day. So cool.
Totally love this brother even more now. Reminds me of my riding style, cept I'm not on button bashing mode
True inspiration 🙏🏾💯
What a great dude. Stay humble Zeb!
This is some straight up Rodney Mullen of snowboard stuff! Sick style!
Kid has a great attitude and vibe. Super creative. Congrats Zeb!
What a humble and crazy ass skilled human beeing. Love him.
2:54 RIP Brother
🤜🏼 😔
Dude is unreal! Natural talent!
Learning how to hold an edge on a bobsled track really tunes your balance , love it , ski the east , PA
I remember watching this live and i lost my fkn mind!!!!!! he i so unique and absolutely shreds!
When someone comes along and gets you interested in a sport you didn’t really care for before! That’s the Zeb 💥 ell effect
ALL GAS NO BRAKES
I said that last week and then almost hit a tree. I put the brakes on after that.
Mad respect my dude 🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻💯
Things happen when we are in that mental flow. That is the spot we can all achieve. All great sports men search for that! All great artists tried to live in that mental state.
Loving Zeb in the iFit cycling series. What a lovely young man.
Hell yeah. Love the humility - Just have fun and flow with it. Ride for fun in your own style - Don't care about tryhards forcing tricks.
oh, the burton custom. nice board, love using that in the deep snow :D
Dude who wouldn't wont to spend a day just riding around with this kid, he is so fun to watch!
This guy is my hero.
Reminds me of those dunk contests in the 80s where someone comes out and does something that just blows away the entire stadium. Awesome
Snowboarding has gone from “big air” to “absolutely insane.” Cheers
creativity makes the knucklehuck. Big fan of Zeb.
Love Zeb, you’re such a dime 💓
The shenanigans right after 4:30 are the greatest thing in my snowboarding life since the upside-down rail slide.
Like the Kook from the movie North Shore who grew up surfing in a wave pool and made it to the finals of the pipe Masters, But real! Anybody else remember being called a knuckle dragger 20 years ago?!
What a God. Reminds me of the skater Richie Jackson with his unique style and creativity.
What a beneficial ambassador to the world for snowboarding; a beautiful person representing a beautiful sport/culture.
damn lol i love this kid he seems so down to earth and he is just having a good time. love to see it
Dude has great vibes
I fucking love this dude man, what a rad dude
I don't know what a flow state is but this man has it.
he is humble, that's the best of everything here!
What's with you people always saying he so humble. You mean he makes you all feel comfortable because he doesn't exude overt confidence😅. Yall only say that bout peopke of color
So inspiring 🏂🏻
What an absolute legend.
love this guy
I like this guys chilled vibe
so wholesome love it
Damn you just can't hate this dude! So rad!
At 2:23 shoutout to recess skate shop in Boone,NC so crazy !!
This man oozes style. Gives me Yuto Horigome vibes.
That backflip to stall on the van was insane!
i raced at Cataloochie (1:07) throughout high school. super small mountain, kinda blew my mind seeing it here.
This guy is awesome! wow
What a beast!
such a stylish event, i wish i could do anything and look that cool
Very cool thanks
Big respect from South Africa (me) 🇿🇦🇿🇦
legend
I love this guys style!
So does everyone else.
