Pocket check is fricken crucial - you'll have to get used to freaking out when you can't feel your car keys every couple of laps when they're deeper in your pocket than you thought they could go 🤣. Worth it for the clear headed, happy lap that comes from knowing you've got all your gear though. Nice vid TJ

[@BoardArchive]

Hahah criiitical. Thanks man 🤘🏼

[@ellstackeradventures]

[@fudhater8592]

Most pockets have a clip that you can snap your keyring on. That won't help your phone, wallet, etc. but at least you can drive home

You are an inspiration and role model! I’m 53 and just got a taste of it 2 weeks ago and loved it (even though I fell countless times and now recovering from a twisted knee from avoiding clashing into a little kid wandering across the slopes). Can’t wait to get back.

The annual beginner snowboarding tips video only means that the season is right around the corner LFG!!! These tips are CLUTCH I'm telling y'all these tips are so good that I've picked some of them up subconsciously throughout my years just because they made sense!

@@johnpaul531 do you want to know something so amazing that is free Jesus offers you His Righteousness as a gift for free! He will wash you completely Clean from ALL your sins and wants you to Come to him it says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Meaning the punishment for our sins is Hell Because we are not obedient to God. But Jesus was completely obedient to God He went to the cross to die for us and now we do not trust in our obedience but His it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Gods wrath and Judgment went on Jesus Because He was carrying our sins so God treated Him like the worst sinner now God will Justly treat you like you have never sinned after you believe upon Him so when the blood of Jesus is over you God cannot treat you like a sinner! He never wants to but now He can Justly treat you like you never sinned Jesus was our sacrifice for our sins! Tell God you admit your a sinner and ask Him to wash you with His blood and receive His Gift of righteousness. Come out of darkness and into light! it’s your part to receive Jesus to believe upon Him. It says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” Don’t think it’s not wrong to sin -because He loves us.

Pocket check really hits my soul. I lost my car keys on mountain once and it really sucks. Luckily they we’re handed in to guest services an hour after i started retracing my steps.

I lost my wallet once, someone ended up returning it but definitely a terrible feeling

[@drunkartist7258]

Super friendly and helpful guy in person too. Glad we met in whistler. next time It'll be sick to ride with you in NZ sometime.

I'm a vet but I've always had stomp in bindings. Just bought new bindings with a back and you saved me hundreds of dollars for not crushing my brand new bindings. Plus some extra tips that I hadn't heard before. Thanks for the video!!

[@Chaugar]

Good list. I do most of those with the exception of 2. The beaver tail slap and digging your Heel edge in facing uphill. I'll be trying them next time I'm on the slopes. You should make a video on duck/penguin walking.

going off of number 2, I always lock in my binding straps when going up the lift. I have had the binding straps pulled under the board when getting off or skating. I have also had the binding straps rotate, which some binding straps unscrew and detach by twisting them around a few times.

[@Aurora..Borealis]

Thnxs Bro, solid advice! Wish I'd have know these basics earlier😂

[@Isaac-do3sx]

For the chairlift: put the back down and then connect the front strap very loosely so you can slide in after getting on the lift . It is the most comfortable way to ride the lift by far and still protects the back.

[@JoseChavez-ct1db]

Great tips! At least two of these are new to me and I'm glad to have learned them. Three tips I give anyone who is about to start: 1) buy butt pads, wrist guards, and spine armor. Your bones will thank you. 2) Pay for the lessons. Your friends won't have the patience. Learn from the people who get paid to be on the bunny hill with you all day if necessary. And do all three days in a row. Yes it sucks, but you're going to be glad you did. 3) spend the next two days on cat tracks. The slower speeds will help you learn to avoid edges, which you will catch, but will hurt less. And your s-turns will get better at slow speeds as well.

[@rafafranco8201]

Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏻

[@JanBinnendijk]

that tip of pressing your backfoot against the binding, or moving it all the way forward is indeed useful. about the highback, i have Flow bindings, where the highback folds backwards. For strapping in.. i just start of where it is not too steep if there's no flat spot, slide my backfoot in, and lift the highback in position.. works like a charm.(the same basically goes for step-in bindings (though these are not common)) When i stop on a hill, indeed i always stop facing up, but then i just drop to my knees.. easy enough to get going again..

[@viktormalopolski606]

its was one of the best clips what i ever seen

[@Red1676]

One of the best warm-ups I found once I got my comfortable doing, one foot small mellow runs. It takes a bit of practice to do but once you get it down, i usually do a couple one foot runs at start of day. I got wide feet and would always have sore feet after couple runs because of binding fatigue. So I decided to learn how to one foot like 2012 Scott stevens and it oddly helped my feet from getting sore. It actually helped so much, I felt way more comfortable on my snowboard.

[@lbebko9154]

One foot riding is an excellent skill to get comfortable with and can really save your bacon if you ever have any serious binding issues at the top or mid-run.

Good tips! A little late to this but for some reason it popped up on my feed in the middle of the summer :D One thing I do to get rid of ice buildup in the binding, if I'm riding with skiers, I borrow a pole and use the bottom end to get it out while we're in queue for lifts

[@JerzshoreXx]

Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". kzbin.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.
