snowboardaddic...

Learning the freestyle lingo is like learning a whole new language, don't worry this blog is your Rosetta Stone to snowboarding jargon.

It’s been 10 months but 3:29 is a blunt slide not a one slide

[@lucis316]

@@travis4266 Its ok. Thank you for the correction!

[@beelzebubshoney]

Oooooh!! This is really great, thank you!!! But man, your audio has two different fathers. (I don’t snowboard but I’m writing fanfic that includes snowboarding so this is really useful.) 😌

[@turtlezed]

Excellent delivery again. I find your instructional vids very straight to the point and accurate, great job.

[@mantiskf2003]

I coach several sports, and assess and correct fundamental movement patterns; this is one of the best examples of a teaching video on the internet, whether for on snow or not. Simple yet comprehensive.

[@madisonjenn2175]

Great video! Snowboard addiction is def one of the first resources we go to when trying to learn a new trick, and knowing the name of what you're doing makes communication so much easier! -Madison

I would love to get the training board and balance bar but it's so expensive

[@thefooddude8638]

I use my regular board and a yoga mat over a 2x4 lol

[@Why_Knott_Me]

Subscribed! I'm watching this to help me understand the lingo better when I watch the X Games this weekend! WOOO!!!!

[@carsonmorris4860]

Thank you so much!! This helped me so much!!

Very helpful!!THANKSSSS

¡Great video Duncan! Cheers from Mexico

[@nikolabezstrashni9337]

1:31 But doesn't fakie apply to snowboarding as well. For example if you pop an ollie using your front foot while riding switch, that would be a fakie ollie.

[@SnowboardAddiction]

That would be a switch nollie.

[@monkeymouth_rectum]

Make more vids I love them!

[@idkwhattowritedownhere]

This is probably late, but when you’re boardsliding, why is it called a back side when your facing forward in the first 90, and front side when your facing backwards in the first 90?

[@Nicfurtado]

0:52 jib (rail and box type feature) tricks are front side or backside based only on where the feature is… not the spin

[@edwardmorningstar1182]

so... to clarify, as far as naming tricks is concerned, there is no fakie? example is a switch nose press isn't called a fakie tail press.

[@SnowboardAddiction]

Exactly.

[@bluephenix2269]

Hey I love you guys vids my dream is to become pro but I live in tn so....... ... I can't practice ever unless I go on vacation which is usually too expensive any suggestions?

[@carsonmorris4860]

Compilation is Key7 use turf and put it on a hill

[@bluephenix2269]

Carson Morris I don't have my own board no I'm not crazy I just can't afford my own even though I've been snowboarding the past 2 seasons

[@rafaeltoledo1830]

If you wanna be a pro, you should be living in a resort town for sure. What are you waiting for ?

[@bluephenix2269]

Rafael Toledo I'm 13 I can't just get up and move

[@YuzukiEba]

why is it always whistler blackcomb that looks like the best mountain !!

[@Rico_M]

YuzukiEba because it probably is.... never been there....but I will one day.

[@YuzukiEba]

I live in San Diego, it would only be a 24hours straight drive (without taking any break). HAHAh... sad.

[@toony_grant]

YuzukiEba from montreal its 45 hours without break.....

[@YuzukiEba]

Antoine Grant sucks for anyone not living right there

[@sirjordanx]

Only a 12hr 30 min flight + 1hr 30min drive to whistler for me.

[@mrkitty121]

I have a question. Whenever I ollie I always loose balance. This sometimes ends up with me catching an edge on the landing. Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to keep doing it until I get it right?

[@geyb101]

Did you find your way to not fall when you Ollie?

[@janeho3760]

hello, my name is xiaohezi and our company is running a ski resort in Hebei province, China called xinxueguo. I have watched a few of your video on KZbin and I thought if some of those shot clips allowed to be transport to our application that would be grateful. Therefore we're looking forward to your feedback sincerely

im way late to the game but fakie and switch are not the same thing. where you spring off your board matters; off the tail = ollie off the nose = nollie. switch off the tail = switch ollie switch off the nose = FAKIE you even referenced it’s skateboard origin but didn’t get it right. not hating, cool video.

[@luugecaseco4547]

You got regular and goofy wrong
