Seems like the salts need to become a mandatory segment for the uninitiated

[@user-xh5jm9hk7v]

My house

[@RockyPondProductions]

Speaking of whoops becoming a more popular park feature, I think resorts need to take inspiration from mountain biking and create jump trails that stretch the entire run with berms and possibly other features. Not the standard park kickers but giant snowmaking mounds that can be rolled or jumped. Sort of like A-line at whistler or NE Style at Highland Bike Park but with snow. Snowboarding lacks a bit in trail creativity outside of the standard park features.

[@TheBombHole]

that would be fun

[@robertdurbin4252]

Maintaining those features is next to impossible unfortunately.

[@RockyPondProductions]

@@robertdurbin4252 Easier than kickers in the park that have to be constantly cut and shaped. They would just big mounds of snow with a slight shape/steep drop to them.

[@SubieLife10]

Fucking right been waiting for this episode. Couldn’t ask for a better individual to hold it down for NC.

I’m with Zeb and have done it for years. Love the medium to soft boot. Barely tighten the liner and snug up the boot to be playful. Laces are my only requirement. Great episode guys! Chris you’ll get that 40 time down if you flip the cap backwards. Ha.

Sniffed the hell out those salts😂 always going big

That’s a classic reaction on the salt

[@Younghead]

@The Bomb Hole I definitely had to rewind Zeb sniffing smelling salt’s, I kinda thought that was gonna happen, but not like that. He obviously hasn’t sniffed smelling salts before and they are powerful, it’s like smelling raw ammonia. Lol.😂

Cool dude on and off the snow 🏂

[@Mackahroney]

Holy shit is my reaction every time i watch zeb

“It’s really hard to navigate them just cause like you can’t see” maybe cause you don’t wear goggles you madman

Will Burton make Zeb the long boi quiver nitro had for him?

[@MrBurtonboy14]

Nitro didn’t make that board for Zeb. It was part of Austin’s series they ran a couple years back called the Quiver.

[@TheBombHole]

They need to make one

[@NickPavlenko]

@@MrBurtonboy14 I recall standing next to Austin (he was on a tour with Travis) and thinking "how the hell is he even making that board turn?! it's like 2x taller than Austin!"

I’m mad I couldn’t watch this yesterday. Y’all pump faked 😂😂

[@TheBombHole]

❤️❤️❤️

[@griffithd05]

Chris trying to see if Zeb could feel the difference in softness/hardness with Zeb is exactly how I feel every conversation goes about boards. No one but the best, most-days-on-snow riders can feel any difference and even then, the best sometimes can't either. Just get the board that fits you and you like and stop arguing the nuance.

[@va4114]

Disagree completely, went from soft board to stiff and changed my entire park riding, way more confident on jumps, literally the difference between me going from cork 7s to dubs
