Bars are more of a mental safety, makes people feel safer. In rare occasions it might help.

Everyone needs to snag a Roman sticker, they’re awesome! He’s getting so good so fast! Fearless + low center of gravity = unlimited fun!

No doubt he threw a 180 and died 😂 lil dude is gonna be a BEAST in a few years

[@mrmcswaggles]

I totally thought that too. He saw the dude do it and then was like “I wanna do that” dad said no, and he said yeah dad watch this and died. Haha. What a boss. He is going to be such a good boarder.

[@momof2dc]

OMG - Roman's slam recovery was the cutest. I wish I could have had the chance to wail and cry and it being ok (not okay for a 40+ year old adult). I'll remember the "don't eat it unless it's pizza" line forever! You're a great dad, keep up the awesome content.

[@corbyrobinson3640]

YES!!!! That mentality as a parent these days is so rare. We all seem so concerned with safety, which is an important topic, but no one will ever make it out of this life alive or without scars. And kids should understand their own mortality as much as kids can without actual risk to their life. I applaud your parenting style.

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 So happy that people agree 💪🏼

Loved seeing Roman shredding. He is getting so good!! 💖 What fun for you and him having this special time together!💞So fun seeing all the family at the mountain.

Johnathan this content is the cutest! I think you're interactions with your son are fantastic and you're content on building him up strong is very thoughtful. Love watching these videos with Roman and happy to see he loves the camera. Keep on having fun!!

[@nickrossi9348]

This is so cute I cant get enough of him! Hes going to be awesome when he gets older!

[@AmyStoneYT]

I was born in the mid-‘70s. Grew up in the ‘80s. I distinctly remember learning to ride my cousins 2 wheeler bike (no training wheels) at their house which was “on base” as their dad was Air Force. I fell into the same damn rose bush a dozen times. 😂 BUT… that 13th time…. I made it around the block. Kids definitely need to be put into situations where they have the opportunity to crash so they learn to get up. Well done to your son.

[@Astro4G]

As a new dad Johnathan is a prime example of the dad I want to be in the future. Roman is killing it! I only hope to be able to do this with my son.

[@Eandrews763]

Love your lessons about failure. It’s so important to teach that failure is an integral part to the learning process and that it shouldn’t warrant punishment.

[@ToiletClogger1945]

wow Roman is getting GOOD. look at dohs heel sides lol what an awesome Dad, this video is adorable af

[@deelafree3776]

You're a great dad man! :D It's enjoyable to watch you two together.

[@ezahs7628]

Please keep this kind of enthusiasm and support throughout his life. It impacts the kid so much and that kind of support and love is ALL he needs. All those life lessons your teaching him now are so valuable, so much more than it may seem. Keep up the great work. Your an incredible boarder and more importantly a leader for your son

[@MatthewMiller716]

The amount of times I've slammed I know what to look for in the snow, the conditions, time of day you're most vulnerable, etc. Always nervous for the chipmunk where you're the most tired and body is relaxed. You're setup for the epic slam

[@johnnyliu7105]

[@msSkitzomunky]

Your a great dad and teacher. He is going to be such a sick boarder when he’s older!

[@marcus9127]

I think the topic with the restraining bar is maybe just a think in the US. In Europe (Austria, Switzerland) you can barely see anyone, who has the bar not closed. I personally think, that the bar is a really good think and that you should Roman get used to a closed bar, so that he will also do it in the future.

[@docomega7862]

I'm not from the US, so I could be wrong. But, watching these videos, I feel like many people in the US are self taught. While in france, most people went through ski / snowboarding school at least 1 or 2 years to get the basics of a proper technique. And at ski school, they always make you put the bar down. So it's just a habit at this point, you get in, get comfy and then put the bar down. Which could explain why it's not a topic here

[@bramvg1305]

In the resorts where I ski, which are in europe, the bar on a chairlift always goes down, and once down, you can't open it until you arrived at the terminal

[@boyerstudios]

John… my favorite video so far. I’ve watched a bunch too. I’m a Grandpa and he reminded me of my grandson. He is so cute and brave. Great job Dad!

[@doityourdarnedself]

Been skiing and riding since 1982. Never fell off a chair lift (jumped off one or two) and don't know anyone who has. I have seen plenty of people forget to put the bar up, though. I use the bar to give my feet/legs a rest. Love the Roman vids. He'll grow up not remembering a time when he didn't snowboard. It will be a part of his life forever and is such a natural and wholesome activity. Good job, Dad. Taught my daughter (28) and my son (22) how to ski and ride when they were 3. Both still put in about 50 days a year.

[@sylasgirl]

Oh his wee face when he slammed! Poor wee soul. He’s super brave.

[@SkipNort]

I love how you always do great job of encouraging him and making it fun for him its really hard to get the little ones out there unless your doing it like this

[@russellhughes6063]

I know this is an old video I’m just coming across your channel for a couple days now and this is so amazing I promise you he’s gonna remember these moments for the rest of his life !

[@TheSpadre]

Being a skier, if it is a long lift ride, I will put the bar down so I can rest my skis on the little crossbar. It relieves pressure off my knees. But I don't feel like it is necessary for safety.

[@leem270]

Great video. Hes gonna cherish these memories

[@lightsaber9590]

I laughed so hard when he tried to copy that 180 on the box. lol. he was determined!

[@estebanmoreno6568]

These vlogs are the best! Roman is for sure gonna be shredding by himself in no-time 🤙🏽

[@pablosanchez000]

Bar up in the Midwest. Bar down when out west. That's how we usually do it. Partly due to the length of time on the chairlift and most of the Midwest lifts aren't high speed detachables.

[@zarekcochrell2679]

This made my day, your the best dad ever😌

[@clockradio989]

Keeping the bar up seems like an American thing. I have been Skiing for 33 years in Canada, always put the bar down and most people do as well. Some resorts enforce putting it down. With my young kids I like when there is a handle that can go between their legs. I don't think it really matters, but does seem like a worthwhile safety feature.

[@lizardsempire5770]

My ski resort doesn’t even have bars lol

[@evankawa2310]

wish i had a dad that did this with me love to see you having fun with your son

[@nakoda1610]

this video is actually so lovely to watch

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@31782mbnh]

When i first started skiing i used to put the bar down but once i got more confident and my ability blossomed, i found the bar to be more of a hindrance. If i was riding solo on a lift the bar usually stayed up, if i was with others who weren't as comfortable as me, i let them decide. My mother on the other hand wasn't a strong skier and neither was my sister so when we would go as a family, my mom would pester me whereas my dad was just impressed that i didn't care lol

[@31782mbnh]

Also, plz get him a bike helmet, just like snowboarding, helmets can help.

[@MatthewMiller716]

I normally put the bar down. However I also ride with a backpack. I'll lean forward and rest on the bar so I don't have to take my pack off or push my back into the lift. Have had a few times where I leaned forward because I was used to having a bar and didn't so that was scary. Been riding for 17 years. Just what I'm used to

[@perry8357]

I think if you can use a bar, use it cause it just makes it so much safer and you can just chill without having the worry of falling off

[@vihz5310]

I need a list of the resorts that you go to year round. I live in Canada and this is literally a goal of mine to snowboard everyday. I’m still pretty young and plan to save a bunch first but congratulations dude! You’re living life how it was meant.

[@rockstarr9000]

On the bar, I always use it, just in case. It takes 2 seconds and would absolutely save a life. Great effort / reward ratio.

[@keslergriffin6898]

[@EvaS23]

I know it's been a year but... bar down for sure. Red dog and Resort chair at Palisades Tahoe... You don't want the bar up. Yes, you could fall and die. There are other chairlifts where that could happen too, but those come to mind right now.

[@solardamp]

My dad used to be sponsored skier until he broke his back ending his career, since then I was never allowed to snowboard or ski until I turned 18. I went for the first time a few days ago and I’m very butt hurt I wasn’t able to start younger so seeing this makes me superrr happy.

[@thanhquanky]

Roman is so adorable!

[@-mayceewoodward-1256]

[@ayeetricc]

This is the cutest thing ive seen in awhile. I literally watched the whole video.

[@Sqwivig]

The ski resort I go to doesn't even have bars on the chairlifts. So when I get on a chair somewhere else that DOES have a bar I always forget to put it down 🤷‍♀️

[@derekp6636]

Great job!!! Just took my 7 yr old for the first time, had to show him people fall ALL OVER the place, its not a big deal just dust yourself off and keep playing!

[@sollamander2206]

I get leg twitches from time to time so I like the bar for that, but I mainly use it so that if I'm trying to manipulate something like my phone or food and I drop it I don't accidentally lunge forward to try to recover it. I get your point about a bar without the leg divider thing being a bit of an illusion of safety that could be counterproductive, particularly for small kids. The style of chairlift seat you're in for that segment is also a lot more angled and deeper than some older chairs, particularly old doubles.

[@pauljames1258]

i taught my kids to board ,now theyre grown up we have 1 week a year on the snow every year its a great way to bond again as they all left home and we dont see much of each other apart from phone time

[@jordanstclair7380]

Yo 😅 that scorpion was ROUGH lol he’s such a trooper though.

[@JohnathanBuckhouse]

Right 😂

[@lauralena5697]

In Germany and Austria you have to put the bar down. So that's probably why some people are saying something. It's quite weird to us not putting the bar down. But I agree you could still fall out with the bar down. Especially with that kind of bar in the video. We have different kind of bars and some especially for a bunch of kids between 3 and 6 years old. It makes it easier for us skiing instructors. Your doing a great job!! Helloo from Germany and I really enjoye watching Roman doing so great at snowboarding

[@steveridescapita8918]

As far as letting Roman slam, that’s called being a good dad. Part of our job as dads is raising our kids to be tough, strong, and resilient. This is a part of that.

[@deblXD]

WTF

[@dahnkedj]

Not putting the bar down is like not wearing a helmet, why take the risk when there's a perfectly good piece of safety equipment designed to help keep you safe and out on the mountain. Remember, accidents are called accidents because no one saw them coming and that's where safety equipment can make the difference.

[@1975Stevo]

super cute. well done little man. wow

[@richardlangdon2959]

I only ski in Europe and every chair lift i have ever been on the bar goes down and is used, some are even automatic.

[@dcrawf96]

I can’t wait to take my son to copper this winter!

[@miketee8415]

I like bar down so I can lean on it or rest my board on it if it's got foot rests. Also, if there's a lift malfunction it could save you from getting flung off.
