In this video I want to give you some tips for falling on your snowboard. Falling is something that's going to happen when you're learning to ride, or if you're learning new tricks. The key is to have a few techniques that will help you fall in the safest way. So there are two common ways to fall, the first is catching your toe edge and fall forward, possibly hurting your wrists. The second is catching your heels and falling backwards, where you could hurt your tailbone. When you're out there riding your want to be progressing your riding with small steps where you have the greatest chance of succeeding with the smallest chance of falling. and if you do happened to fall you have these tools to help keep you safe. So thanks for watching guys! If you found this video helpful, remember to like, share and subscribe. Check out the beginner snowboard playlist for more beginner tips. and I'll see ya in the next video. - Sport
broke my wrists falling on my arms, forearms
is a must
Summersault is my favorite way to fall bc u get right back up and if u do it right it looks like ur just messing around or actually did a cool trick instead of falling
i tried that and i broke my collar bone
@@niftyszn9469 how did it break your collar bone?
Probably should have looked this up before I broke my arm
Or before I dislocated/tore my shoulder lol
Same my whrist
@@Gime-MONEYsame 😭
Feels, I just broke mine
@@basili__capybara1864 ow yea also the pins?
Probably the advice I will use the most this season....
I've been snowboarding for 12 years and I still found this video useful. great tips!
+BoostedBrandon Whats a good snowboard for a beginner?
get a softer board. Not too soft though. Also, get a shorter one near your chin.
omg this guy probably just saved my life thank you for existing
Thank you Kevin for the tips, they really helped my first day, especially the crash pants :) My friend who was also learning got his tailbone so sore that he needed to stop while i was trying the harder runs.
Good video. I remember my first days snowboarding. I probably did more falling than anything else so this is some great advice.
I love your videos, they're so awesome!
Nice video, really informative. I really like all the videos in this playlist because they're clear and easy to follow.
My gym teacher told me to relax when you fall as it spreads out the force that hits your body and makes it hurt less!
OMGItsHarry And i beleive its the reason why drunk people in car accidents get less injuries. They too slow to react and in those situations its good.
I just discovered your channel about 20 minutes ago and I think you're doing a great job! keep these coming!
I find that my martial arts background helps me take take better falls. Can't wait to go back on the slopes!
thank youuuu :D I needed this video so much. I have been falling a lot on my tailbone (could not sleep on my back for a week) but the bruises are the worst. I look like an abused child! :D
You're amazing! I should have watched these before my run. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks for posting this! I am going to make learning how to fall in my training routine.
Honestly, your videos have been more helpful than the lessons I'm taking. Keep it up!
Great tips. Used a few of these on the slopes today.
Broke my hand from trying to catch myself, I definitely realized I learned how to fall since then lol
Same
@@jasmingolling7335 yeah wrist here
I've watched a lot of your videos - this one is probably the most appropriate for me! 😂😂
The only video I need in life 😂
In all seriousness, thank you Kevin.
Hey I am getting ready to learn how to snowboard, super excited, and I would just like to say that these videos for beginners are super helpful, I have never snowboarded before and wondering if you guys have any extra tips, when I start I will be using my mom's old board, with my dad's clicker K2 binding, and I know most of you wouldn't advise me to start on those, but my dad loves them to death and he doesn't keep any step in/ strap up bindings or whatever around. Anyways, if you have anything I should know before starting this season, please let me know. Thanks!
people teach you how to board, but rarely do they teach you how to fall properly! this was def helpful :)
This helped me so much! Ty and keep up the good work!
this is really helpful. thanks
just started and thanks for the advice
Another good way when you are too fast in hard ice (I don't know if you call hard ice in english but...) and fall forward is putting one or both hands in the ground and before you put your elbow try to flip backwards first touching one back or side shoulder and arm and them spreading the impact in the back. It's most used for skateboarding to avoid broke your face in the concrete. hahahaha
Great vid! I like the tip of making a fist for forward falls, very smart :)
Hi Kevin! I found your video really helpful. However yesterday when I rode I fell due to a bump and resulted in twisting my upper body while my feet were planted firmly on the board (the board is hard to roll with my body down the hill). My knees are injured and I didn't think I could keep on riding for at least one week. In this case, It seems that the board is kind of an obstacle to 'roll down' the trail to stop. Do you have any recommendation for preventing hurting knees from this? Also any recovery tips for this injury would be really helpful to me! Thanks!
Thanks man this video was on point! 👍🏼
Hey :) I'm a beginner/intermediate but in my upcoming trip to the mountains I would really like to progress a lot, also by taking up some speed and maybe trying out some little jumps and tricks. Do you recommend back protections or are they rather for pros/bothering/unnecessary for beginners? Thanks alot in advance for a response :)
Great vid!! Keep it going
amazing videos Kevin you are doing a great job! thank you :)
I learnt very early on that a helmet and impact shorts are a must!
Hey Kevin!
first of all thank you so much for your help !!! I personally have learned a lot and i'm sure many others as well!
i have a question about the helmet - i have a skateboard helmet that i use for snowboarding but the pads inside are too thick and with the warmy hat inside its press my head. do you have a solution for it?
I snapped my radius yesterday wish I watched this sooner :( good tips
Thank you for this tip, it only took 7 years for me to see this 😄
The snowbeard is epic!
This video is perfect!!
helllooo there Kevin! ;) learning a lot thanks to you!! Getting better. Keep up the vids bro!! Showing my gfs that are new at it going with me these vids, helped us all
Awesome! Any video requests?
+SnowboardProCamp You have a Video with basic beginner tricks to learn ?
I struggle the most with my toe edge turns (I ride goofy.) I can brake, but can't seem to carve too well and keep a rhythm going toe to heel. Anything helps!! Thanks :)
+Ashley Brooke Gardner to do a good curve you need a lot of speed, leaning on heel and toe not swinging your back of the board not like a fish tail, don't want to plow the snow you want to cut through it. It all about the leaning.
Lean with it😘
Thanks mate!
love it, thanks a lot
Thanks fir this video!
Any tips on what to do if you are in the park doing a feature and know you're about to fall, but you don't have time to bail on the feature? Last month I lost balance on a rail and broke my wrist on the way down. I had tried to safely dismount and avoid breaking the fall with my hands, but in the process of protecting my hands, I accidentally/instinctively swung them out of the way and smacked the top of my wrist on the underside of the rail. :/
Which brings up another question...do you have any advice on how to overcome post-injury fear? I really wanna get back on the slopes when I'm all healed up, but I'm TERRIFIED of breaking another bone! I know I'll needa take it slowly, but after spending the last 5 weeks in a cast, the thought of just going down greens even is making me nervous...
been riding with a broken wrist (still broken from last year - scaphoid fracture) going to the elbows is super important!
thanx m8, could have used this a few years ago before i broke and damaged my growth plate in my left wrist, my local mountain opens tomorrow so im just brushing up on everything
highly recommend a back protector, reverse tacos on rails are not a complete show stopper then :D
knee pads are amazing as well, not so much for falls but for just stopping and kneeling!
daveslow84 I'd recommend a Kevlar back protector over the hard segment type.
Im a mountainboarder, and was in a car accident a year ago, so i wear my Hillbilly hip pads, and Dakine Matrix impact vest when i snowboard. I cant imagine there's anything better, in terms of safety and comfort/mobility. I would HIGHLY recommend hip pads to ANY rider, and an impact vest especially for intermediates upgrading their limits. And the best part is, its all worn UNDER your clothes so you don't have to worry about your young hormones triggering social anxiety.
in the beggining of this year I spent a few days in the mountain, and once i've been skiing my whole life, I wanted to try out snowboarding. I wish i had seen this video back then, cause already in the first day i hurt my wrist really bad and had to go back to skiing, but i'm going to the mountain once again this season and I'll make sure i fall gracefully this time around :) Thanks for the great video!
Francisco Cezimbra go snowboarding on a really good snow day, the fluffy stuff will help you get going faster so you will have less problems when the conditions get harsher.
eLJaybud The problem is I only go to the mountain like 1 week every year, so I can't really control the weather
Francisco Cezimbra if you are only getting one week a year then yes it's going to take a long while.
Hey man I took a beat down the other day when I was trying to 50/50 a box and I fell pretty bad. I did a scorpion fall lol on top of the box and my hip bone and lower back where pretty sore the next day. What do you recommend for recovery? Any tips on how to handle falls like that?
Uh, this helped! Thank you!
very helpfull !!!
Thanks a lot!! I broke my wrist last time I was practising and want to learn how to fall correctly
This dood is totally blazed
im progressing well and i need to now how to fall while doing a higher jump
GET PADDED SHORTS, WRIST GUARDS, AND ELBOW AND KNEE PADS!!!
Makes the day waaaayy more pleasurable.
I'll reply with the ones I bought.
Sitting here with a broken wrist. I am DYING to get back out there as soon as heal up, but God do I not want to be put out of action again from a second injury. Thanks for the tips.
Caught my heel edge going of a pretty decent sized jump and landed flat on my spine on a sheet of ice last weekend. Let's just say it cut my trip short by a little.
I wish there was an air bail out method! Lol I hit a jump a little out of my league 2 weeks ago and landed just short of the landing, right on the knuckle. Tried to bend the legs and absorb the impact but my front leg buckled forward. Torn ACL and meniscus, sprained all the surrounding ligaments. Really hoping that after reconstructive surgery I can get a knee brace and be back on a board by next season. Bummer! Step #1 - know your limits.
broke my wrist firs time out before my first lesson! glad I didn't give up, it is a super fun sport. I do wear a helmet and I have had at least one bad fall on some hard snow that would have ended in a concussion without it. Wear a helmet! I also recommend wrist guards if you are new, making a fist very quickly will take practice, we all put our hands out when we fall, lol...
Another tip i heard was to relax once youve fallen so you can catch a roll, if youre at high speeds this will help your forward momentum. But sliding it just as good if you can.
Whats a good brand/ model for crash pants? i got some for like 30 bucks on amazon. and honestly, they didnt help lol. i had an ice butt fall that knocked the wind out of me like 3 days ago.
i love how u can pretend to fall because u are so good at snowboarding 0:27 lol
any trick to riding powder? I can mash, I just feel like I might be missing some tips to make powder riding more fun
I was trying to do a flat box in the terrain park and fell on my tail bone. My head wiped back and it hurt my neck. How can i avoid this?
This is so much better then expert village
Wish I watched this before my first snowboard trip, I fell and tried to roll instinctively instead of just flattening out and tweaked my mcl 😔
Can you come to whitefish Montana for a few days to teach me how to snowboard?
I say if your gonna try something new, do it in powder so falling doesn't hurt as much. Was in Breck for a pow day in 36inches of fresh snow, and caught some air but didn't land it. Did 2 or 3 somersaults down the mountain, and simply rode off, and everyone on the chairlift was cheering and laughing :)
bro what is yr coat its sick
For more tips on how to fall check out some judo falling techniques.
what if you have a higher speed when your backside cuts in the snow. i tried to make a bridge body Position, slammed my arm on the ice and snap, my arm was broken
a very important thing that actually all tutorials forget is when jacking with the hands as fists so it makes you look no finger breaks :)
A+
hyperextended and then locked/smashed my elbowsocket last year. wish I had seen this
I started snowboarding this year and I have progressed a lot so I felt I was ready to hit jumps and this weekend I hit my first jump and I was hitting them all day and the I hit another jump and I went in with to much speed and came out with more so I'm honestly not exactly sure what happend but I went straight and I went to my heel edge and went to transition to my toe and I think my heel edge caught and I did a summers adult/flip/barrel roll and the first think to hit was my tailbone and I've never hit any thing so hard in my life but I got back up and still snowboarder the rest of the day but I'm regretting let me just say I can hardly walk to make a long story short I wanna try and prevent this from happening again
I’m pretty much dedicating this upcoming season to the park so I’m gonna need this bad
Learning to fall is a huge park skill!
Very useful video :) but I have a question: if you jump and you see you will fall, is there anything to fall safer in that moment?
That's a good question. I guess it depends on how you're going to fall. One thing you probably want to do in any situation is stay calm, so you can make the best decision on what to do. I remember going too big on a jump once and getting myself ready in the air to bend my knees as much as possible to absorb the flat landing. It all worked out good in the end. Anyone else have examples of how they avoided a bad fall?
I'd say the best is to get use to falling and then u have more control over the situation
A good trick not to get your back head bumped is to try to look in direction of your feet, basic rule they teach in ninjutsu, but of course don't smash your face in your chest if you see you gonna fall frontside :D protect your neck is also a good overall rule number one. Just my 2 cents as an expert in other fields but an intermediate in snowboard.
Whether you fall forwards or backwards, alway somersault and tuck your head. This season I caught an edge and went flying backwards and landed on my back. I rolled with it. It still hurt a little bit, but I took less impact.
Maybe i should've looked this up before fracturing both my wrists in one season 🙈
i learned the hard way how to fall. i hyper extended both my elbows in the same day. separate times lol.
As a Ski Patroller the most common injury for new snowboarders is hurt wrists. Learn proper falls and get wrist guards!
yeah i've been stretching my boundaries and probably trying to progress too fast. therefore, i just purchased a new motocross armor jacket. looking forward to its arrival so i can go get crazy and have some fun w/o the fear of falling too hard.....and kevin, i really don't care if they call me a gapor or not! i'm 40. you're not going to hurt my ego hahah. they say no pain no gain but come on already!
Most important thing when snowboarding is to know how to fall correctly
what's crash pants?
do you recommend mittens or gloves?
I definitely prefer mittens. They keep your hands a lot warmer.
one thing I'm not finding on youtube is bailing from a jump. sometimes I randomly catch a bad edge or something off a jump and end up leaning wayyyy back, landing on my ass. maybe this would be more how to properly take off from a jump but also have no idea how to save it or cause less injury from bailing off a jump
+BigB I totally get you, man. I've had cases when after jump I land rather straight, but then I somehow catch and edge and fall with high speed on my anus. Would like to resolve this.
I wish I could do that
I find myself extremely unstable when not on and edge any tips?
Absolutely spot on in this video. I know a lot of very pushy idiots all trying to do the big man act, nearly all of them have had terrible injuries including broken arms, legs, hips, collar bones, and unsurprisingly as some of them insist they don't need a helmet... head injuries. Also a useful part of learning a good martial art or sport is learning how to fall correctly.
How about freebords? The asphalt is much different
even knowing this i still somehow managed to break my collar bone my first time snowboarding. oh well. just gonna have to get back on the horse when it heals
The legend27
My whole body hurts like hell falling down the wrong way too many times😂
What about back protectors..?
joni d back pack
Should have watched this before. My wrists are surging with pain. As for tailbone, I kick off the snow right before my butt hits the ground so I'm sliding right on impact.
I still use wrist guards even after all these years.
I’m snowboarding tomorrow
Of course I watch this after I sprain my wrist
Wish i could have good mountains and lots of snow here in Poland :(
I wish i could have at least snow here in Brazil. hahahahha
wish I watched this before possibly breaking my wrist yesterday.
