Greetings from Heavenly ski resort Lake Tahoe. Your vids really helped me become an advanced rider. I remember when I first snowboarded I was absolutely terrible but now I can do 360 jumps and some butters. Thank you man. Appreciate it so much!

[@kendalltanner4466]

Thanks Kev, I'm planning to go snowboarding for the first time soon, and these videos are quite informative... I will definitely be studying the material. Thanks again.

[@aesblu]

More snowboarders need to watch this. I saw three runaway boards today at Breckenridge. Great tips! I'm not even a beginner and I still watch this haha

[@datotokmajeshvili6415]

Ive been skiing for about 9 years now and I’m about to go snow board without any experience

[@thelord4191]

These videos on the basics are easier to relate to than videos of big jumps so the feeling of being at the snow takes over

[@lucasalain9305]

Hi I'm 16 year old Lucas from Quebec and thanks for the tips, it really helped me today while snowboarding. Me and fifty ish students from my school are actually coming to Whistler in February 2017. Its going to be a blast! Hope we meet you in person and thank you for the lessons and the many tips you gave for snowboarding. I have my own board and its really heavy and stiff but as I heard, its better for a beginner because it helps for balance. I also do sking as an instructor on mont habitant. Sorry if im being oversharing but I just wanted you to know how much you helped in snowboarding with your videoes. Thanks again and hope you have an awsome riding season at Whistler.

[@saidamendoza4351]

Omg, so that's how you walk with one-foot strap on the snowboard!!! I'm a beginner and I'm still learning how to walk with one-foot strap on. I looked like an idiot. I couldn't walk!! I'm going to try this move when I go snowboarding again in a few days. Subscribed to you :D

i just want to say thanks like a million other people. But more than just because of the tips, more than just because of the videos i share with my beginner friends, but mostly for inspiring and supporting other newer creators like David Jones and Matt Maniaci! I love the way you have shown them support and in turn they show little guys like me support and we all grow together! its really incredible. anyways, thanks kev. thanks tj. thanks all of you! I hope one day one of my videos comes across your screen, id love to know what you think!

[@ashleydejesus863]

I actually got up and down a run on my first day ever riding because of watching you! I’d love to send the video to see what you think I can do different to better my ride

[@that_cat21]

first (and probably only) (because we don’t live anywhere near snow) snowboarding lesson tomorrow - binge watching these videos 😂

[@C4L1C0_5]

I’m on the train to go for my first time, this really soothed my nerves thanks man 👊

[@SydneyMayzie]

the sound of the boots squeaking in the bindings is heroin to me

[@Hewston]

Sydney Hawthorn what is drugd

[@garrett.miscoe859]

It’s all about the board moving in fresh powder

[@shorty1423]

Great video..I've snowboarded before, but not for a long time, my boyfriend knows what he's doing, but I'm still rusty..great tips!!!

[@adelaideo7417]

I literally couldn’t believe the amount of burn in my legs the first day.. loved it though. I kept all your tips in mind!

[@Harley72300]

Kevin, glad to see more frequent content! Could you do a video on proper stance and how to prevent/reduce leg fatigue? Thanks for the great vids! - Robb

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+Robb Rotramel Great idea Robb! I'll put that video on the list!

I snowboarded for the first time yesterday (never skateboarded, never ski'd, never surfed, bad at rollerskating, never ice skated) and I should have watched these videos. I could stay on the board if it was going straight but I didn't know how to slow down at all and since I would accelerate so quickly facing straight down hill I would fall on purpose to keep myself from going too fast and falling even harder or worse going off a cliff. I spent like 2 hours to get halfway down the beginner area and I literally just walked the rest of the way down lol. I figured if I kept going I was going to seriously hurt myself. My knees, shoulders, butt, back, and ankles are all sore. I absolutely should have watched all of these videos first AND went out and tried practicing on somewhere relatively flat because the place I went to there were either little kids around and was really crowded or it seemed too steep for me to practice anything safely, especially with other people trying to ski and snowboard at the same time. I really didn't think it would be that difficult. I thought there would be a lot more traction so I wasn't expecting to move around like it was ice or something lol. So thanks for making these videos. They'll help me a lot if I ever go snowboarding again.

[@skid6639]

aaah, the snow crackling noise.. so nice, can't wait to get to the snow again, 1 more month

[@dann5295]

First off, Cheers for keeping it up!I personally learned everything I know from your lessons. And I would love to learn more about intermediate stuff from your perspective.

[@MerlinAndPercy]

Watching in 2019, find your videos so useful I learn so much!! Going for my second snowboard holiday in January

[@visuallife3814]

lve been riding for 7 years and this video was still cool to watch... Good vid

[@shannonbrolin2436]

But did you die?

[@destroya_2345]

Ya he died

[@tomatomb8704]

I'm doing a lesson tommorow can't wait. I snowboarded on mount Raoupaeo (don't know how to spell it) in New Zealand. First ever lesson. In 2 hours I managed to get to the point where I could do "leafing" as well as a few turns on both the toe and heel edge. My instructor said my progression was amazing. What do you guys think?

[@Rinssi_from_Finland]

So last sunday I was snowboarding. First time ever. Had been skiing for about five times but always wanted to learn snowboarding. Watched couple of KZbin videos and on I went. I think I did pretty good. However watching this now I was like wait, the lower strap goes on your toes and not across the top of you foot? Righty then, next time I'll know 😂

[@gymnasttakethelead7640]

just got my ski pass, going to snowboard once my helmet, jacket and goggles arrive!

[@davesantimaw5413]

Kevin, I watch all of your videos and find them very helpful! So cool watching you and TJ that I’ve decided to take snowboarding as well!

[@EpicBaCkFliPz]

Not a beginner but the upside down board is such a simple tip that I didn't even think of, I'd just not let go u til one foot was strapped in, or just be on flat.

[@calebtingey5928]

you have been so helpful. I love what you do and I can't wait to go snowboarding.

[@RichKilla86ers]

I’m intermediate level but I haven’t snowboard since 2005. I only went snowboarding w/ my family in Lake Tahoe but it’s hella expensive. For me, skateboarding is more economical feasible since I live in the SF Bay Area & I barely go out to the Sierra Mountains anyway.

[@jonathangoubar3973]

I went snowboarding for the first time yesterday I have a bruise on my ass and I’ve learned many of personal lessons. As a skateboarder I advice everyone who think it’s transferable that the lessons are completely opposite no matter what lean forward will make you eat shit. no matter what lean back

[@jack_wright_1685]

Who’s going for the first time this weekend🤟

[@puresyyy2217]

going up in 2 days for my first time

[@Flatfourdetailing]

Thanks to your videos I was able to not fall as much. Thank you!

[@tootzz546]

i watch these, not because im a beginner. i watch them for the laughs and just to get myself hype for snowboarding seasons.

[@Saahib_K]

Man..snowboad is so much work just to get up. Gotta love skiing..lol

[@taylor9575]

It snows a lot where I’m from and I’ve always wanted to learn how to snow board lol

This one is actually accurate, thank you.

[@carlosmartin3803]

It would be good to see some more advance tips like what to do on different types of runs. etc...

I'd love some videos on more advanced dynamic turning. I can do it, but would love some tips on improving. Also a video on tips for snowboarding in deep powder (like near 2 feet worth of powder).

Step 6. Do not stop in the middle of the piste. Step 7. Do not go to the funpark. Step 8. Press the like button of Kevin's channel. 👍

Katherine Lee That's cool. Good luck with that ;-)

[@athomp1686]

New boarder. Having trouble tightening up my bindings, or specifically, getting close enough to them to easily tighten them. Not sure if it's a flexibility issue or a positioning of the board issue. Would love to see a video on the topic. Thanks

[@josephsteinhauer5642]

Wooooooooo!!!! Whistler I'm in Vancouver so yea that's why I'm hype

[@olliebecks7327]

Another cool trick/hack is putting your mitts or gloves under the hand dryer in a toilet if they get cold or wet inside!

[@jessicamaxwell6980]

Every time I drag my foot in the snow, I feel like THAT time is the time when it would be easiest for one to twist your free foot's knee.

[@joonasratinen8245]

good video! but you should tighten the upper strap firist so your heel is tight in back of the board and you have better touch to your board

[@vergo7109]

I've been snowboarding for 6 years now only one of those years somebody has taught something about snowboarding the rest of those years I've been teaching myself

[@TeHAviX]

Once when I was out riding slow with my beginner friend, I got hit with a sliding snowboard. It takes you out man. Putting your snowboard upside down is very important

[@chriscox7039]

I have a question which I am sure you have heard before. Can I wear typical snow boots for snowboarding or does one have to wear snowboarding boots for a reason? My guess would be that you can could, but may lose some control aspects of they don't fit in the bindings perfectly.

[@carolsorola]

First time I went snowboarding was New Year’s Eve eve of 2017 lol it was in Big Bear California, first try was amazing, my second try not so much.. I fell on my ass and ended having bruises on my ass as well lmao it was fun though !
