How To Improve Balance On A Snowboard

[@biohzrd1x1]

I love the fact that you guys came straight out and said you can just build it yourself. not only does that show confidence in your product but it also shows that you have integrity. you earned my respect. right up there with signal.

[@gabriellemclaren4248]

My exact thoughts

[@GusteeGaming]

I just bought one of these and yes i know there somewhat pricey but it helped me so MUCH! It perfected my form and i learned how to adapt to different riding styles. First day back up i had so much confidence and i was landing tricks i didn't even know i cld do. For doing park for only 2 years i feel really proud and i 'm glad that i have a lot more tricks in my pocket that makes me a better rider. Thanks Snowboard Addiction!

[@coleh2074]

I have been riding park for 2 years and never have really tried rails and I made one of these it helped me so much I can ride way more new parks. Thanks snowboard addiction! 👍👌

[@escortg89]

i love how you say we don't have to buy one from you. glad your not all about the money like most of the sport is becoming

[@caseyschaaf7071]

I just started snowboarding this past winter and freaking love it! This is awesome , I can practice these tricks in summer, thanks dude!

[@The4lbe]

You guys make the best and most useful tutorials by far. Not only that but in this video you explained perfectly how bs and fs slides are. People tend to confuse them because they are the opposite in skateboarding. Everyone should watch this explanation!

[@Luckyj714]

i really like how you explain things like 1,000x better than all the other snowboarding tutorials on youtube

[@N3RDYWH1T3K1D]

I love how you guys take time to look through and respond to all of the comments. You guys are what's good about this sport. I'd say see you on the slopes, but i'll be damned if I can ever make it out to whistler. Thanks for the tip guys, and you earned a sub

[@jakelavery576]

Crazy how far you guys have come. I have your tramp and jib board, and they are so useful

[@user-tw8dc3be9y]

this is fantastic, watched this a while ago, went into the bike shop today and the guy let me cut some intertube out of the garbage and i was outta there! now all i have to do is build the 4x4 thanks man im looking forward to practicing!

[@helgevig]

it's so great that you guys take the time to make tutorials like this.. :)

[@golfraven5669]

You guys have a great thing going. Good products too. Nice to see your businessis still there. Good luck. Cheers

[@CrashOrgasm]

Never thought about a home workout like that, such a simple idea! A workout with pratical benefits.

[@buggamannzz]

Amazing idea! Asked for one for Christmas and told all my friends about it! Season starts for me in two days.. pumped

[@nicfusc]

I found I use to slip out of backside boardslides when I leaned back too much. Keeping my weight really central helped me out loads.

[@nefarioustrumpet]

i've learned a lot from you, but you never cease to make everything look so much easier than it is haha

[@zman914]

Thanks to you guys and your videos I've been able to hit every jib and bonk at my local hill! hopefully will be able to get one of these by spring so i can train for next season.

[@HuntsJess]

I made a balance bar out of the same wood used for wood fence posts and use my longboard deck since its wet here all the time anyway. Then just nail a flat peice to the bottom. Really helped me. I just need to hit those big rails now.

[@WakeyOz]

Thanks for taking the time to produce your video's Nev. Much appreciated.

[@RollingHousesUK]

some people just can't seem to see the world from anywhere but their own limited perspective. I wouldn't pay it any mind. Keep up the good work!

[@franzlimonta1171]

Excellent tutorial...we have a 10 year old and look forward to helping him using these techniques.

[@joeb4859]

I remember being bored in the summertime and grabbing an old 8ft skateboarding grind rail doing this in my backyard! haha good times. It does help somewhat. This is a cool little vid and product.

[@ibrahimrammal6434]

You always give out the best lessons. Thanks mate!

[@andrewhartford4037]

You guys are so pro at snowboarding!!!

[@turtlezed]

its amazing how just a few minutes of jumping around gets you outta breath isnt it Nev?...once again ...you structure your vids very well, they are logically sequenced and I find them dead easy to follow.......nice work :¬)

[@sleevless1]

Nice… I def need to learn my balance on boxes and rails. Something like this is an awesome idea.

[@k0rvin2002]

***** im not saying this is stupid because i'm definitely gonna get it but wouldnt it be different on a real rail since you're moving

[@k0rvin2002]

***** ok thx ill try it out

[@Xarahan]

I've made it myself and it kicks ass! I'm in the middle of summer and I don't have a wakeboard nearby, so that is really cool alternative. PEACE!

[@Soundscapemind]

Thanks Owen Wilson

[@kuzmicheff]

If you use soft wood, which is what I did, you're gonna end up damaging the box with the board's edges. I'm actually going to staple a sheet of a regular carpet around the box so I don't wreck the wood. Once the carpet tears, it's easy to put a new layer over so it lasts a few seasons. With that all said, Nev, I think I'm ready to buy that box of yours. It's been sitting in my to-do list since I got the email note from your site. Appreciate your tutorial a lot too, man!

[@KaewSaBa]

I like your vids a lot, nicely done, easy to understand and detailed. Also you won my heart over the honesty about the balance bar that anyone could just build one themselves. Well, as a sign of support for such a great channel, just take my money, lol Best snowboard channel out here in my opinion!

[@Dark_Omen21]

Awesome help I have just ordered one I am currently using a 2x4 but I don't think it's the same and thanks a lot for the amazing product

[@benm12310]

K sure. Thanks again. Without u guys i dont think i could ride like i can right now

[@ericcoppola]

Neil, thank you for the great videos and techniques. keep it up. great quality and teaching approach. tks. ec

[@Robert.o1]

Thank You So Much For Helping Me Out On Your Website!

[@gabestrain8803]

Thanks I will try it next trip to the mountains

[@UnPhoSeeable]

definitely getting this for summer use

[@xtngsh]

Love this! I wanna buy one. Just what I need to help out my park

[@michael.riddell]

I'm definitely going to buy one of those, great job guys

[@spottedhog1]

1st comment!!!!! i LOVE falls channel and even if i already know how to do the trick i watch the video anyway!!!!! keep on rockin

[@weekstartweekend]

Hey, Dude thank you so much i have improved on my shredding so much! thank you!!

[@snowboardit]

This is so sick! Wish you guys had the video up before christmas, It'd definitely be on my list! Awesome video though. :)

[@Mrlukmain]

A great idea to manage the balance.. and catch th rails..!

[@TheLlehctim1]

Really helped me learn some new jibs! Thanks for the video!

[@Noezzz19]

Niiice!! always room for improvement.. im defintely buy one of these.

[@trihops]

Unless you live in an area that has snow close to all year long. This provides a great opportunity to practice during the summer season. It's similar to hitting balls in a golf dome during the winter. In no way the same thing, but folks who practice offseason are that much better prepared when the next season starts.

[@benm12310]

Thanks man this helped so much i can jib almost anyrail now

[@SuicidalRemains]

U guys make the best vids, i learn so much:)

[@mik7375]

Thank you it really helped on how to do some tricks good work

[@BackcountryBraz]

I had never saw that before that's a great idea cause I would like to get better at railing!

[@BackcountryBraz]

For sure! Thanks!

[@alexfenning]

thats actually such a good idea. im actually going to make one! thanks:)

[@ajhanson_]

Almost that time of year again come shred with us in jersey !

[@jizy73]

thanks man! im kinda new, but im ready to buy my own board now ;)

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

Ou man now since it's getting soon to warm to snowboard I love to see that! Already afraid of the last day in the mountains :O

[@strikefishingman]

Great video! Thanks guys!!!

[@MadManchris]

You make it look so easy, but I bet it's not! When I get the space to use it I'm getting one!

[@HungryManDJ]

Hi Gabe, glad you like the track, it'll be available for free download in the next week or so as part of JUMP001, if you sign up for the newsletter at the "jump music" website you'll get the link in your inbox. It'll also be on spotify and other streaming music services soon.

[@SKUSANWOLEK]

hey, really great product. I used to do same thing in the summer months years ago with an old wooden bench lol. And is that a old kemper i see in the background? maybe an old sims behind it too? love those old boards, brings me back in time. awsome

[@luisvargassilva]

Thanks Kevin and Perry.

[@martinrigoarzeno]

No. So, I can buy it through your web site. Perfect!! thank you. How many days take for the shipping???

[@snowlover71]

I do this with just a plain skateboard deck with no straps and a little rail. Lots of fun

[@nevp9736]

cotdam, this is a work out! good purchase...it helps me the most by removing the mental anxious nervousness of bailing and injury. definitely speeds up the progression. thanks!

[@WolftownFV]

Woohoo just ordered one! Thanks SA :)

[@Kazuyaa3]

this looks dope man!! wanted a way to learn some new tricks without getting ragged haha

[@MrMasterNorris]

i've been doing this in my backyard for a year with my skateboarding rail. It really did help me and not to ruin a good thing but isn't 70 dollars a bit steep when people can just go get a 2 by 4 and have it work just as good. i understand this comment will proably get taken down and i dont blame u lol

[@Cado702]

Hello Snowboard Addiction!!!! I LOVE your work! Can you please make a vid on how to attach the bicycle inner tube to the skateboard ? I don't live in Canadá so I can't order your products, so I'm making those myself! Any tips on what kind of lace to use ?

[@sh3llz2]

Yo Nev! Ive got those same GRENADES!!! Nice bro!!

[@gnarbaRLEY]

Old skate deck and two litre bottle filled with water and no stupid straps to hold your feet on the deck. Been using that for over a decade and it's the best setup. Plus you can do shuvits and one-foots and other tricks.

[@fjsgjklersjgioerjgo]

i always fall when spinning on a rail and i hope this helps me out, thanks

[@3skateboys]

You Sir,Just Got A NeW Subscriber. Good Job my friend

[@iAmSound808]

love this idea

[@RollingHousesUK]

unlikely, but depends mostly on how you make it. I was thinking thin plywood made into pretty much the shape of the SA one in this vid would mean it's still relatively light, but then you have be be careful your screws don't stick out and damage your body. most woods will be softer than your board so it won't do any damage unless you have sharp edges.

[@asstrid007]

Thanks for the tiptop learningtools! However I think both guys and girls can be handy;-)

[@zachn1040]

i use drainage pipe i found in my garage that is about a foot and a hlaf and 4 inches in diameter, its alot of fun, alittle harder though, becaus ethe pipe can roll freely, i guess its better for balance also.

[@TheSnoopyCT]

This looks awesome.. Would buy one, but since im halfway around the world think ill make on.. Seems like we have the same taste in bindings including color ^^.. /Subbed

[@dylmcd12]

Is that the Burton Mr. Nice Guy? If it is, how do you like it? And I might just have to pick one of those balance bars up! Great vid dude.

[@polfol1]

Pretty cool thing! Need to try it out! But I've got a question. Which shoes are that? Does anyone know it, because I really like them :D

[@ZyphercapMS]

Great product, only extremely expensive, I can probably make something similar in 30 mins with $5 expenses. But I'm definitely going to try this, thx.

[@roguelist8834]

I'm just wondering when will new stock for the trainin boards come in

[@spiritsofthesky]

Very cool! I'm thinking of maybe making one myself with some 2x4's and maybe an old pipe. Does it matter if I use my park board or can I get away with a crap board (don't want to risk damaging my board)

[@danielhasso889]

Awesome dude. This is off topic! I am looking for a soft camber for rails and boxes. Do you have any recommendations?

[@dasblur5469]

pretty cool idea

[@Sprinkles-BtE]

Just bought one. Arrived yesterday and it is tiring! 20 mins of jumping on it over and over again and beads of sweat start dripping from your forehead. Also as a tip, you really want to find a flat skateboard deck to practice with. Unfortunately, I picked up one that has a lot of concave so even without the piece on top, it want's to spin all the time. One more thing, they aren't red/black anymore, they're blue/white which is better looking I think. Overall I'm satisfied. Cost is a little high but these things aren't mass produced at the level of something walmart would carry you're not going to get it for uber cheap. It is what it is. One last thing, anyone who invest in this should pick up a slackline too. This balance bar will train your muscle memory for snowboarding specific tricks but slacklining will actually turn you in to a goddamn ninja! Like Adam here: 4 Ways to Improve your Balance

[@SmallMTNShredder]

Wait so it looks like that outside and you're in the garage???

[@JCLOUCH]

Have one on its way!!! Sooo stoked! @snowboardaddiction

[@bokimon7]

totaly cool video m8s!

[@Pure844]

Do you have a sharp robobe when you go on the rail ?? and where can i get that thing :)nice video dude :)

[@johnnyalonso]

nice vid. im sure you were winded after the shoot! :) thanks for the tutorial bro!

[@felixmd1993]

thanks for the vid, help me a lot! the intro song ?

[@joaofezasvital]

this is the best video on youtube, thank you so much for this, btw how the fuc* didn't I ever tought of this :| building one tommorow for sure!

[@AdamosZee]

Yo Nev, thank U so much for this tutorials. Hey man. U are a bad ass snb rider and really cool teacher. U could be cocky but U arent.. Respect for that.. Im thinking of buying whole DVD collection and this bar. wanna support. Getting ma money together. - Greetings from Czech republic .

[@mishakalinin]

Does it really help with jib? Great idea though. Will try it anyway.

[@lifeshort]

Great post

[@DinoXaviz]

is it like skateboarding almost, I only carved & rode the half pipe on Mammoth Mountain in 2012

[@dulisboa1]

Hey snowboard addiction i have some questions: The balance bar now comes with the black and rounded piece? and if you guys now any idea how many it will to send me the product? Thanks I am a Big fan Snowboarding Forever!

[@PhantomMantis1]

Hey man. I really wana move on to rails and things purely as it looks sick and seems fun.. But I'm terrified of catching an edge on the rail and dying.lol how easy is It 2 catch an edge on a rail. Cheers love these videos Fletcher

[@PhantomMantis1]

Bro awesome..thanks.. I haven't tried a rail yet so thats why unsure.. But if I get a park board the edges will be a lil de tuned so less chance 2 catch anyways.. But going to give it a crak

[@raymondis13]

my only comment to help this video is the names of the tricks. for example the differences between front board and front blunt, back board and nose slide, front lip slide and nose blunt. depending on what foot the board is under determines the trick.

[@adamb2122]

can u use the home made balance bar also to outside to like slide on

[@LSPD1909]

Do you have any tips for flips and corks because I'm trying to learn them next season but am a little scared

[@kpjunior]

Just ordered one this morning! Fyi- in the automated confirmation email of your order, the link to example.com (for the detailed order) does not work

[@kirbykickfrans-sports7025]

Instead of using a balance bar, i had an old deflated basketball that was weathered and ripping so i buried it in the snow and used that. Great excercise!
