Today I'm riding with my friends Chris and Doug and it's their first day back trying some beginner snowboard tricks. The goal for today is to progress slowly and to stay safe. A few snowboard tricks that are great to start off with are nose & tail presses, ollies & nollies, grab on side hits, front & back shifty's and finally 5050 's across an easy box. You can also throw in front & back 180's if you're progressing fast with learning snowboard tricks. It's always good to make your first run of the day is a warm up run and you can throw in a few switch snowboard turns as well. A slow progression is key for staying safe and that why we practice most snowboard tricks on the snow and side hits before taking them to the park. If you have any question about beginner snowboard tricks you can leave them in the comments. Thanks for watching!

Holy crap. Chris was my dive instructor in Honduras

[@ChrisEyres]

William Deem - how's it going. Small world huh? Great to see you on here

[@taylornix920]

Chris Eyres - hey man I see you riding your about my size it seems. can I get specs on your board and set up

[@ChrisEyres]

Sapient PnB1, true twin 160cm. Its park oriented but also big and wide enough I get away with using it in the powder. I love the true twin shape (identical front and back) as it makes learning switch tricks much easier IMO. However Sapient no longer exists, so you cant get this one unless you find it somewhere.

Scuba or sky?

[@L4C3F4C3]

Fun to watch these kind of chilled progression vids x

[@michaelkim5630]

Nice video guys! To Doug; pre-load your ollies by moving slightly toward your nose first, then snap/pop off your tail. Pre-loading helps you land less tail heavy and keeps you level out and land more evenly/naturally. Happy shredding!

[@feelnsublime]

Michael Kim thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot next time I'm out!

[@bucksnabes]

1:15 Kevin is crushed.

[@itslynx_5107]

My favorite stuff to watch after a sesh. Snowboard videos

[@mack7676]

I really like when Doug explains what he does and that really helps if you do any of the same wrong stuff

[@mrstayfrosty2055]

going snowboarding tomorrow so excited!!!

[@Harrymitchell999]

Loved this video! It would be great to see these guys progress even further in the future. (perhaps a progression series of you teaching?)

[@43griffins]

I've been watching your channel for a while and I gotta say, the content just keeps getting better and better. Keep it up guys, and thank you

[@theAlexglenn]

Loving all the videos you've been posting recently, keep up the good work!

[@jacesaces15]

Never thought about actually ollieing on my board, i usually just jumped, im excited to practice this. ive just started doing jumps after a long time of boarding, im self employed so i make damn sure to not skip any steps in learning new stuff, cuz if i hurt myself im screwed. Thanks

[@ajmomoho]

It's cool seeing you guys focus on basic stuff like this, just goes to show I can always improve on simple things like ollieing side-hits

[@CrazyPumpkin2539]

Definitely your best season of vids Kevin, loving the banter between you and Chris. Great work!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+Green_Eyez23 Thank you! We've been good friends for years, so the banter comes naturally!

[@nerdexproject]

These videos make me so pumped! Big THANK YOU!

[@strotos]

Awesome vid. It's a great perspective to see you giving your mates advice and helping them improve with feedback during each run. I picked up a few tips during it. Would like to see more vids like this.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+David Guerin Thanks for the feedback! I'll do my best to keep the vids coming!

[@fathomz]

[@myhn7227]

I started snowboarding today! My teachers told me I was very good at it, so I'll keep doing it! I'll watch all your videos haha😁

[@thomasknight6135]

Loved this video Kevin, should definitely do more like this, got me so pumped for the snow season here in australia

[@name-wq8qj]

Really enjoying your new videos, I was a former snowboarder and I just haven't had the time to go in the recent years, I might go this year just because of your channel! Thanks for the awesome content.

[@hekladp1810]

I love sound in the snow when you slowly slide in the snow on your snowboard :)

[@duke3725]

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the tips and all that they legitimately help me

[@nightfire4107]

Nice song choice. So relaxing & soothing. Chillennnn

[@MrDonEast]

Awesome video! I love the daily upload! Keep up the good work!

[@Lordviridian]

Been working on my grabs on side hits and I'm so excited to hit the park soon

[@jasonmiller5307]

Great Video I started Snowboarding last year and with these videos it's helped me alot to keep up with the good and impressive riders thank you and please keep more vids coming

[@AOmonsta]

Awesome vid. I'm around Doug's level myself, so this vid applied to me a lot. Keep it up.

[@stillnope1878]

Absolutely in love with your videos, keep it up

[@allio7342]

This is so calming to watch

[@wesharding2469]

such a good video. I liked the explanation throughout a typical day on the hill

[@Koi-Freund]

Very nice video, good tips for attempting tricks, thx Kevin

[@jasongalardi6363]

This was a really cool and great video guys. You made it simple to understand and the slow and easy progression of start to completion was great. I am an advanced rider with a beginner ride style to tricks and am always wanting to push myself to do simple and yet cool tricks. This video made it easy for me to get the courage to go out there and go for it! I'll be trying them out this season for sure! Thank you

[@feelnsublime]

that's about exactly where I'm at too. I've been riding for 15+ years but have never really pushed myself to learn any park riding... it's been super cool learning & getting that progression going again!

[@matthewblazecka7026]

hey thanks for all these videos in general. I managed to teach my self to snowboard through them

[@brookewood8623]

first day back on mountain today for me gone have to get back in the groove of things,this is gonna help! keep up the good vids really enjoy them

[@xVoooiD]

Very nice and chill video man. I love it

[@toony_grant]

Great video as always, keep it up Kevin!

[@Jaymurray90]

awesome vid, I'm excited to try these next week

[@rafaelrustino1200]

Really good video!! Congrats Kev 👍🏼

[@fredcagan8247]

Good to see Chris back

[@lucifermorningstar4448]

Great Video, it's nice to see someone less advanced than progress. It's nice watching you Kevin but you do make everything look super easy :) Please try and do a few more videos like this. Keep up the great work, best snowboarding channel by far!

[@stevejiang]

Hi Kevin, Thank you for sharing these tips on improving riding! Your channel is what essentially kickstarted my wanting to progress to the next level. I do have a question about prewinding for a spin, could you may be the explain a bit more about how/when to prewind for a spin? For example, I usually find myself confused a bit on when to leverage my toe to heel momentum for a f360 spin. I think I want to prewind a bit when I'm on toe edge because prewind during heel edge is a bit too late. And during flatbase makes me counterrotate myself. Any tips is appreciated! Happy holidays!

[@nitroKenan]

one of the most helpful vids. what would you say about the relation between stance width and the ability to do presses, ollies and spins?

[@juliusbaischer5830]

Hey man been watching u for a while now, keep the good content up i really like ur vids

[@karlu7754]

I always remember starting off with the smaller boxes jumps and rails and over the past 4 or 5 years I’ve learned to do bigger features

[@semipro6600]

dope vid! My first real trick was an Indy grab and I got it on my first try last year thanks to a lot of your tips! Im gonna try and make my goal to master 180/360s and switch as best I can by the end of this season. Can't wait and ur awesome vids will definitely speed up the process! :)

[@jantemmerman6263]

Awesome video man!

[@zacklaird407]

It really helped I just did my first box

[@milkbread7586]

Aech The Basement Bro nice!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+Aech The Basement Bro Way to go!!!

[@mikkelcorydon9632]

Aech The Basement Bro how you just watched The vid

[@TeqHDcasper]

Mikkel Corydon Maybe watched before going to the mountain i oftenly watch youtube videos before, idk why

[@Partheseus]

Aech The Basement Bro I did my first jumps and box earlier today too! What great timing

[@ajtmwelfare3168]

Two vids a day is awesome keep it up

[@tijmenstorm6921]

AjTM Welfare truee! The effort kevin puts in is insane!

[@eyeofthedon]

Dude such a great video! super informative.

[@jackek3674]

Thanks guys can't wait to go Canada Wednesday and try this out and im going to the same place if that Whistler

[@EnsoLLC]

Easiest grab is the Indy Grab to me.

[@theflyingpumpkinpeople3826]

I learned nose grabs first

[@GiftedOutdoors]

Phu Dao method my the easiest

[@pedropepe90908]

really good video love to see more like this!

[@pinealsnowboard5765]

Hey Kevin! Those videos really help! Could you make one on a little more advanced tricks please.

[@SnowboardPaul]

awesome video. We'll done boys... looking good!

[@EatAtJoes]

Your audio on these lifts is absolutely stellar. How do you do it? What equipment are you using? I'd love to see a video about the recording gear you guys use: the GoPro is obvious but a lot of people might not notice how incredibly clean the audio is, on a really windy mountain. I can hear your voices as clear as riders on the ground below the lift, but I don't hear any wind. Is that just the GoPro itself?

[@billynyk]

Thanks all of you and KZbin that I could learn and get some hints from you as I am tropical human.

[@auste4905]

Our go-to guy when it comes to Sunday night entertainment! :))

[@mrknarf4438]

Those guys are way more comfortable than me on the board - I gotta practice more! Also, the snow there seems so good! Here it's too often icy, making it tougher to find the courage to practice new trick, since you fall more and it hurts more :(

[@quinm6785]

Love these vids

[@megandeslate3287]

Hey! I just had my first official day of snowboarding a couple days ago. I didn't do so well...lots of falling, catching my toe edge, and not being able to stop or turn to control my speed. I've watched all the videos and mentally understand the process, but I'm feeling a little down. Do you think you could do a video about how to keep pushing forward with learning to snowboard after you feel like you've failed?

[@ruha1055]

Omfg luv these kinds of vids keep it up plzzzz

[@anandbayaraa4360]

how many degrees do you set up your board, what's the best for tricks(mainly switches), and how does the degree affect your ride? I know that they make it easier it for skating and your dominant foot, but besides that I don't know anything. Could you also talk a bit about what the length of your board does?

[@tijmenstorm6921]

Just the video for me, thanks kevin!!

[@user-hw9lf1wo7m]

Nice goggle by the way. I wanna buy that one soon.

[@johanneslolk5818]

Really good content. Chris Really ad some to the videos

"It's not how fast you're going, it's the direction that counts"

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+Emanuel Gamboa Such wise words!

[@ChrisEyres]

Emanuel Gamboa I read it in a motivational book I found in my bathroom

[@davisstafford4569]

Emanuel Gamboa no not really I practiced a ton on carpet, and I still haven't gotten the nerve up to try rails

[@matshiob]

Make more progression videos, satisfying and entertaining to look at for some reason 🙂😃

[@BLKROCKSHOOTER2035]

I went to whistler the other day as well! I can never seem to land a backside 180 off a small ramp/jumps, any suggestions on how to improve?

[@patrykgerber6824]

[@erikha2379]

How long die you need to drive curves?

[@davidhackenberg4156]

Didn't like the new jacket? Btw just hit the first session of my season in Michigan...Watching your vids helped a lot

[@DrumberBoy69]

Question! I know that you want your weight evenly distributed over both feet during jumps. However, I feel unbalanced if I try to spring from a completely flat base. Should I be putting more emphasis on a particular part of my foot when initiating a jump? ??? Really enjoy these trick progression videos. It's nice to see others going through the struggle, haha.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

+The Wizard Oz In which way do you feel off balance?
