  • I'm an amateur snowboarder, but I've always wanted to ride side hits like the pros! So in this video, I try riding some pro-level side hits!

    Loved the video. That looks like the perfect day on the mountain to me. Challenging yourself on some fun side hits. It doesn't get much better.
    It's funny that people in the comments are complaining that you call yourself an amateur and not pro. He doesn't get paid... so he's an amateur. I'm an amateur and do flips and spins on skis. 99% of people doing flips and spins are amateurs.

    YES he is the definition of an amateur, someone who is focusing on their weaknesses and improving on them, compared to a PRO who can just always land a double backflip or darkside 1080s, when you compare yourself to what’s actually possible on the snow you realize how beginner you are
