THE BEST PLACE To Snowboard ON EARTH!? (Hyland Hills, MN)

[@darksaga80]

Couple notes: - Like seeing Casey rocking the Seven Oaks beanie. That video was crazy good. - Hyland has been my hometown park so this one got me right in the feels. Casey glowing about the place I learned to ski, then snowboard, then ride park at? Stoke meter on overload bro. - Probably passed you as I was coming back from riding in MI. I was going South, you were going North. Sad I missed you this time around, but saw you still caught some mad pow in the UP. - Tow ropes == laps --> Hyland tow ropes == MAD laps. - Lemme know if you need a place for a few days. I know some guys who know some guys who can hook you up for a week easy with room and food, just say the word man. The Willax support network is the real deal homie! Not sure who else needs to hear this, but man, everyday you wake up and think, "What else could go wrong in the world today?" Then you try and escape, but its everywhere. So you switch on KZbin and pull up the latest CVlog. Then you see the positivity, the smiles, the sessions where everybody is throwing down bangers, riding and have a blast. Then you realize you're now laughing and smiling and all those negative feelings? They just disappear. Faith restored, hope renewed, positivity meter back at 100%. Best. Tour. Ever.

[@monotonesickness0420]

Straight. Truth.

[@CaseyWillax]

GOOSEBUMPS BRO!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yewww

[@flisms]

What you described is EXACTLY how I describe snowboarding in general...no matter how bad or sad life might be, or how horrible the world seems...when I get out there on the snow my mind goes blank! Straight zombie bliss. All negative feelings thoughts and worries gone! And sometimes it's lasts for days after I'm off the mountain. Of course getting to experience it through the Casey lense when I'm not on the snow has become a crucial compliment to it all...and definitely puts a fat smile on my face.

[@darksaga80]

@@flisms hells yeah feel the same way. When your riding everything fades away. It's like being in a total zen state of mind. I think Casey channels a lot of that and you can feel it in his videos. But yeah brother I'm right there with you!! 👊

[@GnarshredProductions]

I grew up here riding at hyland hills every sunday me and my friends would lap that park for hours. This place is the reason local legends like joe sexton got so good at rails I used to see him at hyland once in a while as well as other pro's that came out of the same area. We don't have backcountry stuff or powder to distract us from learning new tricks all there is to do here is lap this park all day with friends slaying rails and jumps until every trick in the book becomes engrained into your muscle memory.

[@arendmelby5106]

well said

[@GnarGreen]

I got insane backcountry across the street and I was jealous AF watching this video. Wish we had something like this in Idaho

[@McKayLove]

@@GnarGreen haha always greener on the other side. park laps are fun but nothing beats mountains imo. sun valley, targhee, jackson hole is where it's at

[@CaseyWillax]

Insane amounts of love for this!! Hell yeah your all G's

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yooo

[@Overstoked]

Heaviest snowboarding day of life lol the Midwest tow ropes are mental 🙌🏻 fully OVERSTOKED!!

[@CaseyWillax]

Hahah HUMBLED!

[@jrwaghd1]

The family and I are so stoked we got to meet you guys!!!!! Made my sons day when he got to give a couple legends some big hugs!!!! And he even got to sneak a life ride with Daley!!! Like I told you out there, your vids are the reason I started shredding after 25 years and got the family started!!!!! Thanks again and keep bring the stoke boys!!!!!!!

[@CaseyWillax]

So much love and so much stoke! I thought daly had some clips I wanted to toss in of the groms shredding!! Neckst time!!!

[@dbo1111]

One of the best videos on the Internet, been waiting many years for this combo to happen. Hyland hills the greatest place on earth.

[@CaseyWillax]

Un. Real!!!!

[@TraeDorsett]

After about the 5 min mark I realized that this was definitely my favorite video of the year thus far. That tug rope line was insane and it created the perfect situation for the overstoke!

[@CaseyWillax]

100%!!!!

[@micahmiyamoto5549]

absolutely stoking on the new gnarv intros and the whole trip in general! love you guys💙

[@CaseyWillax]

Lets go!!

[@mchammy21]

casey, i dont think ive ever seen you throw down as hard as you did in this video. what youre doing is amazing bro. 11:32 at night and youre making me want to build a kicker in my back yard and strap in. thank you for all the positivity and good youre putting out. thank you for all the hard work youre putting in that doesnt even make it into the vlogs. you deserve all the good that is coming to you man. thank you for all that you do to keep the dream alive!!

[@CaseyWillax]

I appreciate you beyond words!!! For the love of the dream!!!

[@fragrantfrog1648]

You are doing something special, brother. I grew up riding at hyland- my mom driving me almost every day after school. It makes me so proud seeing this, thank you for capturing it so beautifully. Much Love

[@CaseyWillax]

[@lFirst]

The kids out here are insane, so many bangers! Thanks for coming out to tyrol today!

[@RedemptioINN]

Minnesota (and Midwest) snowboarders built different. We don't have huge hills w massive kickers so everyone masters the gibs

[@CaseyWillax]

INSANE Thank you!!

[@flisms]

This dream was intense...there was just a little hill, covered in features, dozens if youngsters blowing my mind with skillz...and a rope, JUST A ROPE, pulling all the kids back up the hill at light speed. Just like always the C helmet guy was all in the mix crushing it. Would be so awesome if such a happy place actually existed.

[@CaseyWillax]

hahah what!!!

[@rubberonasphalt]

Dude… I need a park like this in my life. Awesome features, variety, doesn’t look too overcrowded, and just unlimited stoke…

[@CaseyWillax]

Straight up!

[@skin28420]

So glad you had a great day in MN. Enjoy the trip

[@CaseyWillax]

yewww!! Thank you!!

[@skin28420]

How did the mitts hold up to the rope?

[@jordanshields2690]

This is the fattest amount of banger clips I have EVER seen! I can only imagine the amount of energy and stoke you need in order to be out there ripping for hours like y'all did.

[@jordanshields2690]

Also there ain't no way y'all are riding tomorrow😂

[@CaseyWillax]

Hahha thanks yo!!!!!

[@TheSputniikbiet]

How is it you don’t have more subs ? Content and production continually on the up and up. Congrats on pumping out the best snowboard 🏂 and life lesson material on KZbin. Authenticity cannot be manufactured ! Much love

[@CaseyWillax]

I appreciate you !!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Seanrayamusic]

Living in the west, I never thought I'd be envious of a Midwest hill... Just goes to show how important traveling is. Perspective. Mind blown!!!!

[@flisms]

Yuuuuup! I've never ridden outside of the Tahoe area. I have a trailer...I need to take a road trip! Midwest looking real fun after this video.

[@CaseyWillax]

boys are out there!!

[@RexyBing]

Dude I can't help but grin from cheek to cheek with all the vibes you're bringing everywhere man. Nobody on KZbin doing it like the GnarV and the crew does. Keep it up man love to see it!!

[@CaseyWillax]

For the love of the dream!!!!

[@bhank07]

This is the p90x of snowboarding lol nonstop!!!

[@CaseyWillax]

bhabhaha

[@GnarshredProductions]

if your still in minnesota and want the full midwest snowboard experience hit up trollhaugen in dresser wisconsin, and then head up to spirit mountain in duluth minnesota they usually have a nice jump line and a 50+ft kicker at the bottom of the hill there park is one of my favorites in minnesota. There is also a small surfing community in duluth in the winter during storms lake superior gets some double overhead waves and people surf it in arctic wetsuits, no sharks just ice chunks lol.

[@CaseyWillax]

Hell yeah!

[@NoiseCow]

Casey and daley. Love you guys and the stoke you bring to the world. Keep dreaming and living the dream.

[@CaseyWillax]

major love!!

[@evankarabas8891]

That had to be wild for Daly having his first tow rope experience at Hyland on a Saturday 😵‍💫 he's a trooper for that haha

[@CaseyWillax]

Hyland Hills is my home hill & where I learned to snowboard. I always love seeing KZbinr's coming up here and bruting the cold for some sick park laps. Keep up the great content. Much love from the Minnesota!

[@CaseyWillax]

The amount of lives you impact in a positive way on the daily is crazy inspiring. 🤙🏼

[@CaseyWillax]

🙌

[@kingrat5564]

Grew up in mpls early 2000’s riding nights at highland. Ended up moving out to Tahoe where I still reside. I love the sierra terrain and snow when we get it but nothing for park riding compares to the nights at highland. Out here you get maybe 8-10 laps and at highland 30-40. Progression multiplier. That rope tow is no joke! Just ripping through mitts! Gotta get those leather covers for highland local status🤙

[@CaseyWillax]

The progression is insane!! Yewww Tahoe tho

[@adamwright6314]

Bro you didn't have to go that hard!!! That was insane

[@CaseyWillax]

no choice

[@CaseyWillax]

Yewww!!

[@hsidder]

Mad Props. As always, including the junior homies. Well done boys, well done. Killer day it looked like. Letting the boys in the Gnar was sick!! They will remember that forever.

[@CaseyWillax]

Haha For the overstoke!!!

[@AustinRockyRode]

This is one of my favorite videos the stoke there is crazy! the tow rope looks like a mountain of fun !

[@CaseyWillax]

YEWWW!!

[@crazyawakening]

Wow what a spot, Gotta love the stoke level in the Midwest n especially Minnesota. Hats off to all those young but great riders. Gotta luv it.

[@CaseyWillax]

Straight up!

[@ESLinsider]

Around 6:11 I noticed you did a nice front 3 melon off your "heels" (where you didn't wash out your edge!) and then you did a front 7 melon off your "toes" at 6:45. So you can do both and that's rad. I've been working on these frontside spins and studying videos of these. Lately I've been practicing the front 3 melon (which feels super good when I nail it) and switch front 3's mostly off my heels, but often I am washing out my edge. I've been wondering if I can leave a clean edge off the jump with a frontside spin off the heels???? Likes like you did that above. I hike up sometimes and check my line, but can see the edge is not clean. So I guess the answer is probably practice and my timing is not so good? But man if I try off my toes I can't go past 180 and I will often end up doing an inverted 180 to butt slam. I watched your video on Bomb hole and like your faith in traveling and just going for it. It's hard cause most people are so fearful about moving. I've lived in 8 states and 4 other countries, but it's good to hear your thoughts because fear creeps in my mind sometimes too and prevents me from making that move. 8:08 you call that a frontside rodeo or front 5? I'd say rodeo but hear commentators smtms say front 5. Anyways that was sick. Love those toe side frontside spins.

[@CaseyWillax]

Yewww!! Gotta wait to initiate!!
