10 Beginner Snowboard Tips - First Day

[@christinebella5706]

After ankle surgery last year, I can't get my ski boots on. Nows the time to learn a new sport. Thanks for the awesome tips.

[@firefightstk14]

i am beyond happy that i found your channel, you’ve taught me how to snowboard just through your videos and it has gotten me through my first day on a mountain, how to select my gear, how to adjust and get everything ready, and even what i will need with me on my snow trip. keep up the amazing work kev!

Gotta get relaxed. I use CBD from 4 Corners Cannabis like a lot of the pros do.

So i did my first snowboard run yesterday. I watched this video and went. No problem skating around went straight for the lift up on a blue slope and went for it. Everything came naturaly apart from catching edges, great video!

[@BoardArchive]

So legit, this is going to help so many people get into snowboarding! Hope this one goes to 1M+!

lets hope so

[@brooklynnleclerc7641]

So legit LOL!

[@love2laffwithu356]

Saving this video! I’ve been snowboarding for 4 years and still can’t heel edge. I do all my hills on my toe edge which I believe is causing ankle discomfort and muscle spasms later in the day. As a newly 50 year old, the fear takes over. I’ll keep watching this video. Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for this video and others. I had my first snowboard day at age 40. I did have some skateboarding experience. Even though some things felt unnatural at first I followed all the steps. I had one of the best days of my life. I went down more experienced slopes after 2 hours of practicing these techniques. I saw such pretty views and was comfortable going fast and controlling speed with frontside and backside. I rarely fell and when I did it was slow enough didn’t hurt. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and enjoying snowboarding better than I could have imagined.

[@timle5569]

I've never went snowboarding or skiing until last week. I watched this video and your other video on how to toe slide and heel slide before the trip and it helped out tremendously. I was hitting the blue slopes as a first time snowboarder before the end of the day. Thank you for the amazing videos and lessons!

[@Wb0u1]

Couldn’t be meee i literally couldn’t even hit the bunny hill 😭

[@ForestWizardLookingForPotion]

i have never stepped foot on a snowboard but for the past 2 weeks i've been watching like 100 trillion snowboarding tutorial videos lmao. hoping to go rent a board for the first time next month :)

Hey Kevin, long time listener, first time caller.... Great to see you returning to your roots in such a high quality video. If you are planning a refresh of the beginner Playlist I'm all for it. Getting people out there and having fun as quickly as possible is what this thing is all about.

[@fentonburyfilms2383]

Brilliant! I cannot thank you enough. I have taken this up at 51 years old and I am determined.

[@lifepolicy]

As a beginner what really helped me was boarding on the edge. I couldn't link my turns that well when I was sliding and it was always awkward. But when I realized I can use the flex of the board to enter the turn with my front using the downhill edge while my back foot was still using the uphill edge it was basically one of the simplest things I ever did. From there it was very easy to link my turns and ride on the edge. Add a little slide here and there to slow speed and good to go.

[@Donderlab]

Stoked to work on this with you Kevin, here’s to more projects in the future! 🔥🎥✂️

[@peterheath7960]

I have #11. Get fit before going to the mountain. Easily overlooked, but SO vital. If you can learn all day, you will win. Great channel.

Hey man, just wanted to say that I watched your video before I went snowboarding for the first time today and this was so helpful- I had such a great experience. Just wanted to say thanks, you’re doing a great job!

[@kingjames3jr]

Thx for the tips! Hit the slopes for the first time ever this weekend and I didn’t have an instructor, but this video gave me the tools to learn and after a couple hours I started feeling pretty comfortable on the board 👌🏻

[@urlocalnirvanafan]

I’ve been skiing for 8 years! I am taking a lesson tomorrow morning. I am super excited! Ive been skateboarding for a long time and that will probably help! Thanks for these tips. I will edit this comment tomorrow night and tell you guys how it went. Thanks again! 😊 Edit: it went great! I snowboarded for 4 hours. I tried a bigger hill but I was getting tired so I got sloopy. I'm gonna be sore for days. 😅 anyway I really enjoyed it! Thank you for your tips! God bless!

[@HardwareAddiction]

Man, I can't stress enough how important it is to get a beginner-compatible board. I just moved from a Rome Modrocker (flat rocker), which gave me a ton of trouble, to a Bataleon Magic Carpet, and what a world of difference did it make! huge!

[@baokhanglacasse8778]

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that this video really helped me. I was trying snowboard for the first time (my ski level is decent) I went 30 min on the school track to practice it and after that, I went on the top. Obviously, I spent the day falling and adjusting, but after 3h-4h, I was almost doing slaloms and barely fall. The only tip I accepted to hear from my friend was : bend your knees more. I thought I had to bend them that much only at higher speed but nope, helped me transtition from heels to toes and vice versa. Looking foward to my second day of snowboard!

[@nathanielhutt5861]

As a beginner snowboarder this is super super helpful! Thank you so much for putting this video together.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thanks! I haven’t been in seven years and am a perpetual amateur 😅 I went yesterday but only did the gondola runs in fear of getting off the lifts, haha. I had forgotten the best way to get off the lift without biting it. I’m going to practice the one foot out on the bunny hill today until I get it down.

I like the new camera work. Good job Kevin!

[@bluepool6969]

The most helpful tip I ever got was from a lift op. He said pinch your knees together on a toe turn and push them out (like doing a squat) on a heel turn. Not technically perfect, but it got me up and running and I was able to make adjustments from there.

[@dolceitalia5846]

Had an all day snowboarding lesson for my 40th and broke my wrist an hour in..ploughed through it but had to end the session just before linked turns as the pain was unbearable, so this vid really helps with the last part I needed to learn! Hopefully back on the snow soon all healed and ready to learn :)

[@voidocvali]

I came back to say that I manage to learn snowboarding just with your video and after 2 hour i came down on green and after 4 time on green I just straight on red and finish just with 3 fall but those falls was because there were a lot of ice on track.

Did u have prior board sport experience? Any skiing experience?

I just wanted to say thank you for many times. I watched this video more than 10 times before went snowboarding the first time of my entire 60 years life. Guess what I was able to progress to step 9 in 2 hours there. I can’t wait for my next snowboarding trip to try step 10

[@rapha2024]

Hey kevin, yesterday was my fifth day Snowboarding, Now I go up to the highest slope at the top of the mountain because of you. I remember about a month ago I was watching these videos and saying it’s gonna take forever to be able to get out of the bunny slope and into some higher stuff but it only took me a small amount of time to be able to hit the steepest slope. Now I am practicing to hit small jumps. Just wanted to say thank you, and keep doing this these videos because you could help a lot of people like you helped me. 🖤

[@coolbrotherf127]

One tip I have, is don't pull your heels up in your boots when doing a toe side turn. That'll cause you to balance all your weight onto your toes and at higher speeds that's a very wobbly position to be. Balancing on your toes is hard enough just standing up and it's not any easier on a snowboard. Make sure to just bend your knees a bit more and lean into the bindings with your feet flat against the board. That'll make sure you say stable in your athletic stance and keep your center of balance controlled during the turn.

[@avengingcarma5525]

I think as a beginning snowboarder it is important to clarify...Toe and heel blade, toe blade is used only when facing uphill...and heel blade is only used facing down hill, that is an important distinction and can be really confusing when referencing heel/ toe blade...why you have to flip position etc. It is really an important concept that is easily overlooked😉 especially on turns and connecting turns, and the reason for a snowboard that can be used in both directions, that doesn't necessarily have a nose or a tail....
