[@The1Chipper]

Outstanding camera guy, to be able to follow you at high speed through those moguls and video tape you is outstanding.

KING OF MOGULS! I am always blown away by your riding! Thank you for being an incredible teacher! I learn so much from your videos!

[@tjdad13]

So many great snowboard KZbin channels, yours is very very technical and fun, thanks for your dedication.

[@lesterb3990]

Love your videos. Its your unbridled enthusiasm that makes them so watchable

[@raymagic7108]

I can’t remember the video but I saw a video of you doing steep terrain and it looked like you were tail pressing every turn, that changed the game for me tbh thank you for doing this and teaching everyone you’re a G I’m on my 2nd season and riding double blacks already. Never thought I could progress so fast

[@raymagic7108]

Came back to this vid cuz I’m bringing a buddy to ride for his first time on Tuesday, just tryna get myself re upped on the fundamentals. You’re the man

[@sarahmaob]

love the enthusiasm!! thanks for teaching us safety and how to have an amazing time!

[@stevelafave560]

I've been riding for a long time and still have trouble with slipping out when stopping at high speeds, that belly button tip seems like itll really help.

[@ellstackeradventures]

Let's gooooo

[@crowcrow1465]

Dude this guy throws tips and tricks that really make you change... I have learned/ taken so much from this Channel and actually implemented it in real life. and yeah .... dudes sick and a sick teacher

[@ellstackeradventures]

@@crowcrow1465 i so agree

[@rjvitez]

I really enjoyed the video. Help my understand when going fast it can be very situational with split second decisions, but overall having balance and control! Love the vids and guides!

[@rodcfar]

that was a legendary finish please make more. precious content

[@dootdoot1867]

Your content and quality of content is awesome and progressing fast.

[@Agentimpatient]

Awesome tutorial! Out here on the “ICE” coast it can get real choppy! Hope you and buckhouse are still riding together.

[@willgarcia6845]

You ride beautifully! Thanks for all the sick vids 🤙🏽

[@itsjaynguyen]

wow so many tips.. there was so many things i do that i didn't know what caused them. this vid was very helpful

[@gobynart]

Thanks for the helpful info Tommie, always hyped to see new videos come out from you man

[@YoucancallmeJustin]

Thanks for this video. It really answers a lot of questions I have had recently.

[@rbaro456]

Hey Tommie, can you please do a nerdy snowboard sharpening and tuning vid. I really liked the nerdy waxing one. Keep up the good work. Love the content!!

[@yileiyilei5616]

Question: in what situations do you want to be passive with bumps?

[@matthenry5594]

Thanks so much I ride mostly at night so its icy and rocky. I was just wishing you had a video like this lol. I'm using it tonight

[@TaylorPhase]

how to ride fast on bumpy terrain- do it in colorado or utah. soo much easier than on cascade concrete and glacier wind blown ice in the PNW

[@Ohmylanta686]

Just had a great time on some shasta cement.

[@meganchabot]

WA represent 🤙🏼

[@dootdoot1867]

Going fast down baker and whistler is a vastly diff experience from Breckenridge or keystone.

[@TaylorPhase]

@@dootdoot1867 yup. learrned to ride and still ride mount hood. went to utah last year and dipped off the groomers into some '' bumpy'' looking terrain and it felt super smooth. the boards nose just blasts right thru the bumps. colorado and utah dry snow you ride through it, cascade concrete and sierra cement, you ride ON the pow

[@TaylorPhase]

@@Ohmylanta686 yooo im riding shasta in a few weeks. heard its small and kinda flat, but i still wanna go to say ive been

[@yileiyilei5616]

wish I saw your video before I went snowboarding today. Slipped out many times -> thought I didn’t lean into the edge enough -> slipped out even more 😅 luckily, you just land flat on powdery bumps so not too painful, except once it was icy and I almost slides till the bottom 🥲

[@Fharmer]

I really needed this tut! Thank you so much for making it! Answered all my questions

[@TwistedShrapnel]

glad I watched this recently before I went to Heavenly. Finally broke 40mph. :D Still need to work on my hip and knees on mogul runs, but super helpful tips Tommie. :)

[@chrisp524]

awesome analogies in your explanations

[@triathil]

Bennett, what type of board are you using in that vid it seems bendy, do you have special setting with your bindings?

[@KAREKINFPV]

Bro, I watched your carving video and my wife, (a skier) was like holly shit you got so much faster this last time.

[@blablahblablah836]

[@zephyr707]

14:08 would be great to get your audio or PIP commentary over the previous clip to really hit it home.

[@klausbjornjensen]

Great footage... keep it comin'

[@hunterorahood316]

I noticed you don't list your board in your gear... are you on the hometown hero here? A bunch of my boards are at the end of their lifespan and I am looking at the yes standard & hometown hero 160w or 165w. Never gone below 163 so I'm uncertain // I am 6'4" 210, with a 12boot... ride 23.5in apart in stance (-9/+12) on my everyday board. Used to be of that old school train of thought get a big wide board go big and fast, but recent seasons I've taken my all rocker jib board 164w into the trees and slashed around I realized the rocker keeps me afloat and the shorter board is super maneuverable and forgiving on trees & bumps. I do want to carve deeper so camber underfoot is a must on the next board. Anyways holler if you or anyone has thoughts! Thanks so much for making these vids!

[@lukebagpiper8054]

Dude, you are sooo wicked good!

[@allanrocha4647]

Great video! Awesome tips

[@m007mm]

Do you need Spherical Goggles for Off-Piste? Is it really necessary?

[@dianaa8125]

the belly shoulders thing is such an overlooked point

[@StevieD44]

Cameraman needs a raise 😂😂😂

[@cccEngineer]

This is probably a stupid question: is the there a way to fly through moguls like bump skiers? I saw one part of the video you were going pretty fast through it around the 13 minute mark.

[@Sid6902]

Sometimes I get knocked off balance. Specially going through moguls. I’m definitely going to try your technique. I know I’m to tall or lean forward to the deception that I think I’m low. Any at home tricks to do till u hit the slopes?

[@LALOBE1]

Hi, Very interesting,what Stance do you ride?

[@coast2coast_films]

Awesome video !

[@MrCarnage502]

So to go fast on flats should one just bend their knees on the down hill leading up to the flat? I have trouble keeping speed on flats or getting over the first roller in a series.

[@skinwalker_]

Man you make it look so simple but my BUT knows otherwise 😂

[@orhangirgin]

Hi. I am 5.10 height 170 ib in weight,what size lib tech orca 2021 I should get. Great video ,well and truly explained and stickers are brilliant

[@mattward9926]

Probably a 150 or the next size up from that. I’m 5’9 160 ride a 150 and it’s pretty incredible

[@jathvids]

For an Orca you are gonna want around 154-157cm. Definitely don’t get anything lower since that is a big time powder board.

[@landonmoyer2579]

Are you at beaver creek

[@Jayboggie121]

what angle are your binding locked in at?

[@jedinuttall]

Tommie rides 15/-15

[@joeeterno7926]

Tommie, what board are you riding in this?

[@MrBoomtheroom]

WHERE IS THAT RESORT?

[@clay1000]

Please go to Crested Butte and tell us how to ride rambo

[@franklinflowers8106]

Is the exaggerated arms for display purposes or is that your normal position? You have the arm rudders looking like you're a noob, but then you pull off all this awesome flow and control, beautiful airs and landing smoother than cream. Great content with easily digestable tips to apply to the next session.

[@kaimcguire5086]

Skiers be using whole ass poles for balance and ur mad about Tommie for using his arms?

[@seanbaker1627]

Use the heck out of your arms. Riding with your hands against your sides might look like you're super in "control" but in reality, you're not maximizing your body.

[@shanealpine5969]

Maybe riding like that isn't noobish? I been doin it since day 1, its j they way my body reacts to keep me balanced and move the board appropriately. Eveyine has they own style, in my opinion arms are crucial

[@jaredfontaine7128]

Couldn't drop this before I broke my collarbone??

[@drewholly8426]

hey me too mate - 2nd time - most common injury in snowboarding. heal strong!

Cant wait to get on the mountain and try this out

[@jacobmiller9366]

I agree

[@ellstackeradventures]

I want to go fast!!

[@aiGeis]

Honestly, it would do potential viewers some good having this video labeled "for beginners/novice" since I think everything discussed here is fairly low-level in the progressions tree/ladder. I try to keep an open mind and watch a lot of content to find useful tips for improving my riding, but going over the importance of knee bending and weight stacking (which are interrelated) is fairly basic and should be one of the first things most riders learn to work on even before going fast. I was expecting some additional input about using up-unweighting on groomers for the high stability and/or using down-unweighting to help bleed speed and adding control in the bumps, but instead it can basically be boiled down to knee bending. I'm sure you have plenty more to offer than that.

[@micahakasuperman7]

Anyone noticed that he sounds exactly like Sean on Jimmy Neutron? Love that joker

[@armedbronco]

Anyone know what resort this is?

[@AlanLamb11]

Looked like Breckenridge to me but the low snow this season is making it a bit confused.

[@armedbronco]

@@AlanLamb11 agreed

[@dgc325]

Judging by the view from 7:35 to 7:50, it looks like Copper Mountain to me (right where I-70 turns west)

[@zephyr707]

1:21 how do you not end up spearing moguls at that speed?

[@franckdebank]

With that speed he's spearing through it

[@spectermoose4833]

Dude, stop telling people to bend at the knees to bring their bellybutton down! Like squats, you want to bend at the waist by pushing your hips back, which CAUSES your knees to bend and you bellybutton to come down.
