Tips With Nev: The Frontside Boardslide

[@jasonsong86]

Loving this new style of videos.

[@kencolborn1057]

I'm always curious about why boardslide videos never seem to address the issue of weight distribution. I bring this up because anyone with a skateboard background will tell you that having any weight on the forward edge of the board will cause the board to stick in place and the skater will be flung forward having to run out of it. combine this with the snowboarding knowledge that having your forward edge in the snow will cause the board to catch an edge and slam you down. With both of those facts in my head, the biggest problem I had when learning to boardslide a snowboard was that I didn't have to put my weight toward the back and balance on the back edge during a boardslide. Maybe it is just me, but I feel like that is a major thing to teach someone who is approaching a box for their first time-- center your weight and you don't need to lift the front edge in the air.

Staying flat is the hardest part. I can do FS boards on a skateboard all day, but I'm REALLY struggling on a snowboard

[@MichalGolata]

Friction homies friction. Snowboard slides comparing to skate slides feels like zero friction. One simple rule -> always keep body 90 degree vertical to the feature considering its angle. Good thing is that it is almost impossible to bail forward by leaning too much forward on the feature, usually should be more lean than we think while approaching new slide ✌️

[@23JMRH]

Thinking the same exact thing. The hardest part of front boards was not addressed and that weight distribution.

To put in the amount of practice I'm sure he did then have snowboard addiction pop up and give pointers really awesome.

[@LuckyOhara]

This style of vid is so dope and practical. Love that we get to see the coaching in real time.

[@TripleFork]

Absolutely agree with the previous comment. Your new style is so nice to watch. Don't get me wrong, I love the old snow tutorials. But this just fuels my stoke in going out there and try it.

[@shokojimhollingsworth3940]

It would be so rad to have Nev pop up and coach you like that!!!!

[@yys5919]

I like watching this kind of teaching video!

[@DesertStarr]

I am a first season rider also and I am not nearly as good as Dan was, not comparing myself , just saying he is doing awesome. And on top of that willing to show his skills to the world and get taught by Nev, good job all around. Nev making peoples dreams comes true. lol

[@wetwilly808ify]

Now this is where it’s at. Need to make more videos like this!! Awesome!

[@benjaminletiecq4932]

You are an incredible teacher!

[@treborvelasquez27]

Love your videos on coaching, badass to just pick someone to coach!🤘❄❄❄

[@darksidecarnival5385]

That was so educational! I love it. This is the next step for me

[@Skeletoncrew46and2]

Wicked, day!! Sound man Nev. Great stuff Dan,your killing it!

[@alexismore01]

I watched it when in the park and it is actually PER-FECT.

[@Thadnill]

The ''Committing part' is actually my biggest problem when learning front sides, I just gotta have the courage to give it in! (Eager for the season to start..) Awesome video!

[@YippieKayYa33]

Great video I actually have the same issue coming off switch!

[@gonnarbon]

what a coach he sees everything

[@Peter户外生活]

[@TCK71]

[@andrewhua4972]

[@weilongzhao6944]

This is so awesome

[@justinbordwell4654]

Awesome!

[@Howardtrn]

I really love this music where can I get it

[@23JMRH]

It would be nice to hear a tip on how to not slip out forward when doing front boards. TY.

[@SnowboardAddiction]

If you are slipping out it is likely because your too upright - bending your knees and matching the angle of the feature making sure to keep your centre of mass over the board ensuring that your stacked and aligned. :)

[@23JMRH]

Sweet. Thank you for the quick reply!

[@theoddsitwas149]

The skier was like: "Boys, I should've let them go first"

[@mrand3r50n3]

Any quick tips for someone who's 6'4/193 cm and getting back to snowboarding after a 15 year hiatus and 66 pounds or 30 kilos gained? At least I was smart enough to buy a 165W board that's rated up to 120 kilos, leaves a few kilos of wiggle room still...:D It's like riding a bike, at least that's what I told myself. :D

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

That red, round downrail is the exact feature I've been practicing front boards on and I keep slipping out. One time I fell on the rail and bruised one of my ribs and now I'm scared to try again

[@SnowboardAddiction]

Frontboards like doing that:( keep doing it on flat rails and rebuild that confidence. also a good trick to pratice it is when on a down tube/box go into 50-50 and when your locked in shifty into front board. Front board is a hard trick that most pro riders spent years to get good. so be easy on yourself and you will get it one day for sure!

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

@@SnowboardAddiction thank you for the advice and encouragement! Great channel!

[@robertcalkins4979]

How are people able to Live in Whistler for the season? what do they do for a living?! I need that job

[@willmoua1]

A dream come true lol!

[@SA1upsb]

Im confused. I thought that would be a backside because the back edge is forward. Also if you were to spin that direction it would be a backside rotation right?

[@sk8_bort]

if the obstacle is in front of you (toe side), then the trick will always be frontside.

[@N.aattee]

Would you do lessons

[@carlgustavreinholdmikkelse1489]

Fellow Danes, where you at?

[@blowmountain1089]

Super nice, virtual reality nearly

[@stephprime]

I have the problem that I slip out of my frontside edge everytime I try it - I do not keep the board flat right? what can i do to fix it?

[@ericcoppola]

BoardSports u have to have your weight going down hill and match the feature angle ... I like to put a little more emphasis on the weight down hill when first getting into it because it is slipper when u come off the snow... this helps me.. hope it helps u!!!

[@farnkums]

I thought that dude said he was from Ligma, I was wrong, Denmark

[@Ulvehaar]

Rep 🇩🇰

[@mitseymckinney8019]

Why is this called ‘front’ side ??? Your back is faced down hill so your backside is sliding first . Makes no sense….. can you tell me why it’s called what it’s called ?

[@SnowboardAddiction]

Since you are coming to the rail front edge:)
