Snowboard armor, will save you from potential injury, AND doubles down as life saving armor during a zombie apocalypse

I came looking for this because I just had a video recommended about a guy who became paralyzed from hitting his back on a rock while skiing. This would have saved him from that and idc how much it cost it’s worth being able to walk….

I rather have overkill than paralysis….

Can you seperate the double sided wrist guard from the glove if you want to change gloves out later?

The Whatever for sure is a super cool fun board to ride if you make of ALL features on the mountain. The 3bt is love or hate, its great for pow, and freestyle, slushy conditions. But not so great for harder packed snow, riding flat base, or 50-50s on round features. It will be a bit washed out, overal its super poppy for the soft flex it offers, its a true can do it all if its the board for you. I see you have gigantic feet seeing your problem with choosing a good board. Yes the whatever is a good board, its fun, a wider platform, a very freestyle friendly. Your not a super tall guy isnt it? Id suggest look into party boards or board types offering more with with less lenghts for other options to overcome the boat feeling you describe on other boards. Boards like the warpigs are ment to be ridden quite short. And yeah, ofc Ryan thinks this boards “sucks”. Hes a carver, needs precision in the edges, needs a stiff camber to coil up the end of the carves. Its like a f1 driver giving a offroad vehicle and ask how they feel about..

I totally want to know more about this board and the stiffer version.. can we have s quick convo here ?

as a skier and mountain biker, chest and back protection has been so important lately, been grateful to not get in a serious crash but man the ribs and back are very sensitive areas i will always try to protect

34 year old plumber that’s bin riding since I was 7. Just a helmet for me lol. I think my body is just use to pain by now lol

Snoboarder for almost 30 years. Ive been wearing Demon armor for the last 6 years. As a 47 year old snow I feel a lot less likely to get injured in most crash situations particularly if I were to get hit by some moron. It makes me feel like a linebacker. 6'5" 240 wearing armor I am not the guy you want to hit. Came here cause Im thinking of upgrading rom the burton wrist guards to the demon flex gloves.

Can you remcomend something that actually fits big dudes. Like waist 40+

Fat guys , were good

Note for female riders. I was wearing demon short for years after a break. Then last season I tried on my friends demon shorts for women and realised I’d been wearing men’s shorts. Changed to some women’s demon shorts and no longer feels like I’m walking around carrying a 💩 well maybe a little but the women’s shorts don’t hang down so low and fit better. Also I did buy demon full body armour a few years ago and although I looked like a bad ass I had to return it. I’ve tired a few in shops since and the problem is the chest. I don’t think any brand has been made by women. I get chest pain from the preasue. They need to be made to accommodate varied chest size and delicacy in this area. Leather armour historically was shaped for this reason. I also wear knee pads. I got some budget ones on a trip and have compared to demon and the budget ones are far more comfy, and have served their purpose well.

I'd rather just get resoles, but this seems like it could be a huge life saver if you get a hole on a climbing trip where you can't easily resole or replace your shoes.

Were you riding your Whatever, and if so, what are your thoughts on how it handled the terrain and snow conditions?

All wrist guards do is transfer the forces up the arm into the forearm and elbow. Learn how to fall and stop falling on your hands. Your joints are supposed to move and flex when forces are transferred through them

Last season I had the wind knocked out of me, smashed my spine off a chairlift bar, wrecked full speed into a snow coverd tree and don't think you're taking safety seriously enough🙁

Shorts, knee and back protectors are the bare minimum. I fell off a 1 meter drop on a icy slope and hurt vertebrae - missed 2 weeks of the planned holiday and a large hospital bill. It could have been much worse. Saw a lot of people breaking arms and collarbones on the first day on the slopes

Hi, did you ride the Evil Twin of similar size by any chance? If yes, could you please compare it outside of the park like on sidehits and on groomers? Thanks

So to go slower, do i have to push the stick at the front? Or is it levers / handles in the sides? Also what if i go slow and amb behind will go fast and crash into me?

this is a great video looking to pick one up for this season I'm 6'4 215 will probably get a 162w

Any idea how this board does on ice? (East coast native, Jay peak vt is were I ride) we get like 50/50 between powder days and slush and ice, how would this board do? I only ride groomers to get to the trees and side hits?

Thinking about getting this board for park, but i live on the east coast, alot of ice. I really like this board but because of the 3bt in ice im not too sure if i should go with a standard board

I hope you make more snowboarding content. You do a good job bud. Im an aussie that moved to Austria and now ive taken up snowboarding... Cant wait for the season to start. Get a season pass for the Vorarlberg region so i can test out my '24 party wave+... Learnt on my '24 Goliath... Also a bataleon guy.

That other board you referring to is the Marhar LJX? Why do you opt for the cambered LJX over the LJ? How do you compare the pros of the LJX to the Whatever?

is that a charger on a snow

I am 5,8 and got a used beyond medals 151 and it is super fun for butter and the park but it gets super squirmy carving and isn’t any better in pow. Looking to get a k2 simple pleasures for carving and powder

I have the same D30 pants and still manage to fracture my coxis. IMO not the best design because your tail bone can't take a full body weight impact and a small D30 pad on the tail only pushes it in more. It needs padding on the sides (cheeks) so the tail so is tucked in.

Hey Mitch. I loved the video and it was incredibly useful for what to expect since I just got this board during the off season. Side not: I'm getting ready to launch my own snowboarding vlog channel later this year so if you're ever in Denver and want someone to ride and film with. Feel free to shoot me a message

That torso armor is corny asf

I thought you said you don't want rollback's

Nice video! We're inspired by the way you explained and edited some parts! ❤

There was a staff at the rental shop told me, if I fall with wrist guard on, my forearm would break. Anyone tell me if this is true?

You the guy that kept saying you hate people that want to have more than one child?

Thank you, very nice video. Informative, not exaggerating just valuable information. Thumbs up.

Hi do you think azzpads is a good product? How bulky? Do they shift around?

tomahawked this season & tore a rotator cuff requiring surgery...moving ahead with shoulder pads is a definite for me...thanks for the video!

Great vid!

Wrist guards will not stop your wrist from breaking. My wife was wearing some really solid ones and still broke her wrist on a cat track traverse.

The title of this video should have been “Demon armor and why you should buy it “

Hi, I would like to purchase this board. What bindings do you recommend?

If you're learning this all makes sense (albeit a little expensive). Especially the butt pads. Wristguards are the one thing I'd keep using regardless of skill level (and a helmet of course) While years of boarding have trained me not to put my hands out, you never know. Not to say you're not going to fall or get injured even if you're an experienced boarder but the additional weight and the decrease in mobility killed the whole armor thing for me when riding (especially kneepads and chest protectors). At some point you'll be good enough that you're not falling all the time and you're not sitting in snow that you can 'grow out' of most of the armor. Just my 2 cents after 35+ years of riding snowboards in Tahoe.

Definitely get wrist guards as a minimum. Broke my wrist first time trying snowboarding. The pain isn’t the problem, don’t really worry about that. It’s the medical costs from the surgery that was painful, and the inconvenience of working one handed for awhile.

Thank you for sharing your shoe repair tip! I love it!

There is this thing called a resole.

I hope this is a late april fool video, otherwise this is the biggest bs I've seen in a while. You can let your shoes resole for around 40$ before they are worn completly through and get a new life out of your shoe without compromising performance. Amd when you actuakly want to climb with slippery glue tips then don't waste 200$ for Solutions anyway ;)

At this point just wear sneakers as you aren't getting any benefit from wearing climbing shoes with no climbing rubber making contact with the footholds. Also if you don't climb outside and are mainly jumping about on big footholds, $200 shoes are pretty useless, just grab some madrocks or entry-level evolvs.

I want rubber there. Just get them resoled professionally

the fuck is this black magic

Is it grippy standing on the edge with glued part ? Because I tried it with shoegoo (forming it with ice cube), but it was not grippy at all, in fact - very slippery like hard plastic.

Your channel is so underrated. Thanks for the tip as well, saves the toe torture next climbing session.
