    In this video I've got five things you need to know if you're a beginner snowboarder. In my experience teaching beginner snowboarder, these are five things that give people problems on their first day. Knowing these five things will save you a lot of hassle snowboarding and keep your safer snowboarding as well! The first thing to be aware of is you always want to lay your snowboard upside down. If you lay your snowboard flat it can slide away and turn into a missile! Next you want to practice strapping up and unstrapping your snowboard bindings. This will get you use to your bindings and make it easier on your first day. The third thing is to practice one footed stops. You'll discover that when your get off the chairlift on your snowboard, you'll be riding with one foot. Practicing you one foot stopping ahead of time will get your prepared for the chairlift. At the same time you can practice skating and walking up hills. The final thing is to be able to roll onto your toe edge. Its much easier to stand up from your knees, than it is to from a sitting position. Try pulling from behind your knee as you roll. If you have any beginner snowboarding questions you can leave them in the comments. Check out the beginner snowboarding playlist for more videos!

Hope we meet you in person and thank you for the lessons and the many tips you gave for snowboarding. I have my own board and its really heavy and stiff but as I heard, its better for a beginner because it helps for balance. I also do sking as an instructor on mont habitant. Sorry if im being oversharing but I just wanted you to know how much you helped in snowboarding with your videoes. Thanks again and hope you have an awsome riding season at Whistler.

    I’m intermediate level but I haven’t snowboard since 2005. I only went snowboarding w/ my family in Lake Tahoe but it’s hella expensive. For me, skateboarding is more economical feasible since I live in the SF Bay Area & I barely go out to the Sierra Mountains anyway.

  • @arigilos8552
    @arigilos8552 Před 5 lety

    I snowboarded for the first time yesterday (never skateboarded, never ski'd, never surfed, bad at rollerskating, never ice skated) and I should have watched these videos. I could stay on the board if it was going straight but I didn't know how to slow down at all and since I would accelerate so quickly facing straight down hill I would fall on purpose to keep myself from going too fast and falling even harder or worse going off a cliff. I spent like 2 hours to get halfway down the beginner area and I literally just walked the rest of the way down lol. I figured if I kept going I was going to seriously hurt myself. My knees, shoulders, butt, back, and ankles are all sore.
    I absolutely should have watched all of these videos first AND went out and tried practicing on somewhere relatively flat because the place I went to there were either little kids around and was really crowded or it seemed too steep for me to practice anything safely, especially with other people trying to ski and snowboard at the same time. I really didn't think it would be that difficult. I thought there would be a lot more traction so I wasn't expecting to move around like it was ice or something lol. So thanks for making these videos. They'll help me a lot if I ever go snowboarding again.
