- The splitboard is taking the mountain community by storm! This relatively new form of shredding has been on my todo list for years. I'm so stoked that I'm already basically the best at it. So excited for the places this amazing tool will take me. This is a story about trying something new. It's okay to be a beginner. Actually, if you're able to forget about your ego - being a beginner is one of the most fun parts.

Lots more splitboarding videos coming as the snow starts to fly. Finally got through some avi courses and am pumped to shoot in the actual wilderness SOON.
Looking forward to them.
The production on this video is insane. Your audio & transitions are top tier my dude
Yeah probably cause his camera setup gear costs like over $10k
@@dhalohol yup, when you buy nice gear, it automatically shoots and edits great video, you literally have to do nothing. It’s crazy how technology works, the simple act of owning gear gives you good content, no skill needed lol
Don’t even know why people try to make content, they should just put piles of gear together and let it magically happen.
@@KramerJunction What are you even on about? It's obvious that people who have good gear most of the time will have better video and audio quality than those with worse gear. I have worked in media, producing high quality videos and you just can't get the clip looking "cinematic" and amazing without blowing some serious cash on gear. To light up the subject you need lights. You can opt in for some LED lights that are on the cheaper side but it's still going to cost you like 300-500 EUR for the whole light setup. For the mic, you're probably going to need a lav mic if you're recording someone talking, which if you want it to be high quality and wireless runs around 200-300 EUR. Then of course let's not forget a regular mic that you would attach to your camera to record regular footage, as the built-in mics are usually bad quality. That's about 100-200 EUR. And the camera? This guy uses a 3,000+ EUR camera. If you look up the footage people have taken with it, it just naturally looks good. Oh and, don't forget about the lenses which can get very expensive quick, usually starting from 300 EUR. And you need multiple lenses if you really want to push the quality of your videos and produce footage that doesn't all look the same.
With a cheap camera and bad lighting you will get grainy footage and probably won't even have the log setting so colorgrading won't be as effective. And without a camera stand, gimbal, etc. your footage will be shaky, which you will probably try to fix in post but as you have a cheap camera the footage will be HD or FHD which means that when you will fix the shaky footage, it will make the clip look even worse and decrease the quality as it upscales the image.
Don't be one of those guys that says "gear doesn't matter", cause it does. It oh so does.
The guy is obviously also good at video editing and works in the industry but don't dismiss gear.
My favorite part is definitely the donut that gets eaten as you talk about avalanches
A subtle aspect I think I would have missed without this comment... thanks Eric! The kid at the 1:00 mark... man he was my favorite. Too cute.
I had my split cherry popped in march, while on spring break in Oregon. Someone I met on the lift, rode with and then shared some beers with offered to take me out the next day. He was 6'6" and I'm 5'10" so I was riding his 169cm solution, plus my size 10 boots were swimming in his bindings, that fit his size 14(?) feet - but it didnt matter. We skinned the bootpack from the top of the highest lift at Mt. Hood, then rode the 3000ft down the parking lot. It was one of the most transformative days of my life and I've been on marketplace at least once a day since then. I'm a college student on the east coast, so if and when I pony up for a set up I'll be ripping resort laps for the near future. Thanks for the realistic yet beautiful portrayal of stoke! Yeww!
This was me with surfing, I have loved watching people shred waves my whole life but don’t live near a beach and don’t have a board so I saved up and finally bought my first board a few days ago!
I'm curious who do you get on since? I always wanted to try surfing as an ultimate sport (no ski lifts, no fares, no expensive gore-tex gear) but after a couple of seasons I fell out with it. In reality it is very dependent of where and when and keeping up the amazing swimming form throughout the year which is almost impossible.
@@stevey6294 its so hard to stay in shape for surfing ive surfed every summer for over 10 years but I finally got a nice wetsuit so i hope to get a couple more months out of the season even tho im 2.5hrs from the ocean
This series is lit. Been snowboarding since 1995. I’m 51 and doing splitboarding for the first time in 23/24. I’ve got 2 ex ski patrollers and an OG touring splitboarder as 1st season guides. Always something to learn. Your production is down to earth and realistic for a beginning splitboarder. Well done.
Shaffer, awesome video bruh, super stoked on it!
Three minutes in and best split board video Ive seen.
So much fun on snow :) and I love your sense of humor :).
Inspiring and fun! Great job! I’m getting one ! 😁🤘🏻
Hey man great video. I’m contemplating my first set myself and your video definitely made it feel less intimidating. I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views.
So good to hear. Wanted to make it less intimidating, everything out there is a little intense haha. Definitely go for it - probably the best thing I ever bought.
Dope. This will be my first season splitboarding as well!
amazing video dude. currently trying to learn good Snowboarding so next year i work my ass of and buy a split. keep uo the good work.
Absolute banger. So glad I got to help the best splitboarder ever
Could you guys lay out the components of this splitboard build?
Snowboard was a Weston 10th mountain split-board, boots were the atomic backland carbon, bindings were the spark R&D dynoDH with the spark tech toes. And we added the Phantom Link levers to the atomic backlands. And Karakoram skins.
loved this shaffer!
Well that was a fun watch, thank you.
Came for splitboard 101 for dummies, stayed for the awesome Poncho. Good stuff.
damn wtf ist this chanel? how don't you have millions of subs?? Good jokes, darn good editing, the quality in all wtf?
You've gained another sub mate. great vid 😎
This was awesome 👍
Amazing video. great great video
I’m going to do my AST1 this weekend!
What a inspirational video, even I don't have a splitboard.
Shaffer! What a pleasant surprise. I thought I wasn't going to run into you until ep1 of Dialed season 6.
“A fun quick way down the mountain” 😂😂😂
Awesome video
I want a poncho now, and a split board and tbh a rocking chair too...
Keep filming bruv man. You good. And local man -- keep stayin local.
I video editing and style in this was very good. After watching this I'm ready to invest many much money into getting a whole setup.
Just dropped $1500 on my first split boat setup. Stoked man
Bro I just went splitboarding yesterday I got to the top and back down when I realized I had the splits on the wrong feet going up. Lol learning curve is real
this was good
That poncho tho ❤
Why is there a donut in one shot and not the other?! Nice touch that it slowly gets eaten. Thank you for this high quality content, as always. Can’t wait until you explode on the CZcams.
Great video man. Just found the channel. I’m gonna stick around
that technique is unparalleled! lol
cool video man
hey man, ive been thinking of trying hardboots for splitboarding, do you notice a major difference between hardboots and soft boots? also would like to know if youve tried the phantom slipper and what the difference is between it and atomic backland with link lever
Oh man, so I just ordered my first set of splitboard bindings that should be here in a week. My board should be here Monday! So, while I’m impatiently waiting here, I figured I’d search some CZcams videos. First one I came across, and I recognize the guy. He’s part of my favourite show, Fox Dialed!
Heck yeah congrats on getting into the second best sport ever right after mountain biking!! So awesome so see the dialed squad over here too!!
great video,
Hey man, nice video! Just wait until you get into the backcountry, definitely the best thing ever.
How is the backland/ spark hardboot setup working for you?
Hey Jacob,
Been out there all spring. Can't believe how much I've been missing out on all these years.
The setup is unreal. By now I've done long tours in my hardbboots and on a traditional soft setup and for uphill I FAR prefer mine. Downhill was funky until I got Phantom link levers. Now that I'm used to the feel I barely notice a difference. Highly, highly recommended.
drop the setup please! great videos
Your filming and editing are top notch. What resort was that? Do you have any videos of the van?
Thanks so much!! It was Crested Butte 🤘 My videos “I want to go home” and “I want to stay home” are my most van centric ones so far 🙏
I need to know what those pants are, they look amazing with slim hard boots.
awesome stuff! quick question as i also plan on getting into it. How do you put crampons on with this particular walking setup?
On a hard boot any crampon will work easily. For soft boots check for cmpatibility!
where do you get your ponchos
Fair play doing it in hard boots.
you can turn down the price quite much if you are willing to DIY some stuff or just buy second-hand goodies.
especially for the board, bindung and poles it doesn't really make a difference whether it has some scratches or not since you will damage it anyways sooner or later. these things either work or they don't, not a lot of wiggle room for major problems you don't spot right away.
I clicked thinking this was a companion piece to the C.A.M.P.I.N.G. video, and that splitboarding would be S.K.I.I.N.G. Never knew this was a thing.
You should splitboard in your poncho! Arctera who? Pata whaaaat? I am ponchoman, splitboarding burrito eater!
i'll settle for a poncho for now
👍🏼✨❄️
Good
My dude i shall get split board..
What boots are those?!😊
This dude is my spirit animal.
Bro, can u link ur Bord&Binding system ;)
Could you guys lay out the components of this splitboard build?
Working on a pt2 to this video and a hard boot vs soft boot video soon after. Till then, this is a 10th mountain division Weston with Spark R&D bindings, Atomic backland pros with Phantom Link levers, canted pucks, and Karakoram Skins. Such a dream.
But you didn't go over anything split board related, how did the boards clip together, what sort of bindings how do they work, what is a skin,
Yes this is where i belong my dream too
I have a Dream !
I feel like this video style is heavily inspired by mahalo my dude... And I love it :)
You are 100% correct 🤙⚡
What do you think of the hardboots?
Huge fan - after this video I did lots of backcountry missions and the biggest noticeable benefit was uphill comfort and edging. Wan't crazy about downhill feel until I got Phantom Link Levers. Those are an absolute game changer.

What's the song called around 1:10 just after the "you can do anything" kid stops talking
Dude I'm having the dilemma right now. Gear or rocking chair... flakes are flying. Gotta decide soon... ramen winter.
That kid with his dream ...
Hello what kind of bindings are u using ???
Spark r&d!
@@ShafferN A which hardboots? Did you find it harder to switch from soft to hard boots?
I am astonished at how few viewers and subscribers do you have
Ur hip flexors are going to hate u the first trip out
Who snowboards in ski boots? The best part of snowboarding is the comfy boots
groomed trails, wear some cleats on soft boots and carry a regular snowboard for a freeride
You know that he was learning on those easy trails in order to later go to places where ski touring is needed? It's like watching someone on a dh bike at an easy trail. Sure I could do it with my roadbike probably but it's not the point.
