I've been terrified of XL jumps ever since my injury on them 10 years ago. I'm wanting to get back to them and get my revenge. So that's what I'm training for now. It will likely take about a year to get to that point. This time I want to get footage hitting them. Over the past several years my friends all vanished from my life and my interests changed and I fell away from snowboarding. As a consequence, I gained a lot of weight and got in pretty bad shape. It's been 7 years since I was a decent snowboarder and 3 years since I have ridden one until last week, I made it to Woodward PC, and it felt so good to get turns in again. This channel has been a big part in me getting healthier and getting back into one of the best hobbies in the world. I'm down 10 pounds and I still have quite a way to go but I'm enjoying the journey. Thanks for your channel and the good vibes you put out there. Thanks Casey!
This is the way*
I'm in the same boat man. Stopped snowboarding because of injury and it's been years since I've gone and ridden at the level I want to. Determined to get back to it tho. I've missed it too much. Keep going 🏁
Absolutly love to hear all of that! Keep up the drive and the reason behind the work your putting in it's all paying off! Sending you the stoke in return!!!!
You’ll get there man! If you ever need riding buddies hmu, I’m in the area. Ride Woodward here and there but mostly Brighton. I’m not exactly tryna get to XL jumps but I’m always tryna progress in the park.
KEEP IT UP BRO IM PROUD OF YOU
Thanks for the reminder that riding for yourself is huge. You don't always need the homies to hype you up, don't worry about who's watching, and it's not always about getting those camera shots. Just put your music in and flow! Often, I find myself snowboarding for the content or with the boys, and sometimes you just need a day to yourself to progress not only your riding, but your mind.
Of course! Being by yourself with yourself is next level
Ive been riding for 30 years now. I gotta say even at that level you still gotta go to the gym and cold plunge and eat healthy to stay on it. Keep up the great work!
Maintaining the body is #1
23 years old, started riding in 2018, broke my legs and had to learn how to walk again. Since then I’ve never had more than 7 days in a season and this season I’m pushing 60 days just trying to ride every day. Broke my arm a few days ago and still riding and trying to push my progression because I’m just so hungry to get good at my craft. The biggest thing I’ve used to help my improvement is to befriend all the local rippers and ride with them, get as many days as possible, ride in every condition whether it’s fresh groomers, slush, powder, ice, or chop, and to hit features that aren’t comfortable and ride the line between my comfort zone and pushing the bar a little. I’ve dramatically improved after adopting those ideas
You've been on the come up!! Great method to meet some homies and progress! Keep er goinnnnn
Cannot agree more with the "ride by yourself" tip.
Riding with the homies is a blast, but youre preoccupied with a bunch of distractions. Riding alone leads to solid progress, even in a single day of riding.
Just make sure you tell some one you're riding and wear a helmet if you're sending it!
YES!! such a good call
C dub this vid is gold. At 50 I'm riding better than ever due to cross training, yoga, and good diet - just about to get my park instructor certification. Your tips are bangers.
Quick list for dudes and dudettes who don't have easy mountain access:
1. Season's pass to local hill (ride as often as possible)
2. Physical fitness
3. Logical progression, building block style to prevent injuries.
4. Learn a skill or trick regular, then learn it switch before the next skill or trick.
Peace out. Nice riding, C dub.
LOVE to hear this!! Yewww
nothing psyches me up like a Casey vid, thanks mane!! 🔥
Wooo Thanks for watching!
thanks for this vid casey, needed this one❤
Yewww Thanks for watching!
Glad to see you guys eventually got some snow down in Southern VT!
When it happens it happens!
Your intuitive approach to training is super smart and effective. Love it
Yewww gotta be calculated!
So much appreciated for the working out tips, been thinking of a mind set on how to keeping myself always ready for boarding and this is legit 🙏
Woooo good mindset is a key to ALL
I've always love ur stuff, keep making videos. Hopefully next paycheck I can become a patreon member.
Thank you my guy! Save all the cash you can for your dream! Appreciate the thought!
Darn good tips.
Also: fantastic riding, filming, editing!
Much appreciated!
Yon made such a good point about some times just ridding solo. In a different zone. To me, it's the more therapeutic way to ride.. but the friends are always the best if you got something new..
So much fun! Keep doing it!
Fantastic vid. My snowboarding buddies Cliff Washbrook and Shaun watch you all the time. They tried LMNT and passed some onto me.I used to suffer from a lot of
leg cramps after snowboarding. Since taking it, no more leg cramps😊.
Dude cannnnnot beat proper hydration when riding
Thx casey for this video. Awesome
Thanks for watching!
I was just at carinthia and been watching for 3 years, I feel like when I leave you always come back
Wowww! One day we link!
Sober riding has been a game changer for me. Thanks for the inspiration and positive vibes.
Thanks for the stoke!! Yewww keep it up! Life is way better sober!
Great edit!
If ever feel like dropping a heads up bout where you’re going riding, it’d be great motivation!
I started riding at 45. I’ll never be a pro, but I feel good out there and ride clean.
1: Hammer the fundamentals.
2: Stretch, Core and Legs all winter. Consistent and light-medium work.
3: Hydrate. Rest.
I’ve been working on jump this year. Making decent progress and staying healthy because the single largest risk factor, Edge Control!, has been hammered into shape.
Hammer the fundamentals.
There’s simply no way around it.
Thats what we love to hear! I announce my riding locations all the time but need my own days to balance it out!
Oh man that was some pure gold!
Goldddd
this is such a great vid!
Yewww
Nice blue bird day great edit love the buttering and carving totally different from the pow c dub with a W FTD
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips bro. My biggest fear is rails. I just started boarding 2 years ago but averaging around 20 days. Pushing yourself is the key. Also what really has helped me is just learning how to fall, just not to panic when I know I’m not gonna land it and slide out gently .
Learning how to fall is more crucial than learning how to ride haha
Always an excellent set of tips, and a great drop as usual.
My kid will be better than me soon. He was hitting the big jump line at snowshoe the other day, dude's still in the "fly like an eagle" phase (mittens spread and flapping), but maan lol his fearlessness scares the hell out of me.
For the dream! We've got a few more weekends out here before this season's over, yeeewww!
hahah Thats what we love to hear!!
Man my morning workout has been missing these uploads!!! Love to seee it CW!!! --Unsurenity!!!!! --😅next shirt
Keep CRUSHING
Glad to see you back in vt
Thanks for watching!
Nice video bro
I dislocate my should’ve so many times 2019 i restore the shoulder just working out , took me a lot of time but now is feels like new, and now I’m getting back my shape again , confident
And not scared anymore
Being healthy and working out a lot
I’m 31 years old and still improving
Love to hear that!! 31 you're a GROMMMM
Mount Snow looking good this year! Way to bring the stoke alive!!
YEWWW!!
Casey you gotta come to sugarloaf maine for reggae fest april 12th weekend. Mtn needs your vibes
Wowwww Reggae fest what a throwback
started in the poconos in 2015 .. by 2016 i lived in tahoe and was riding 90-120 days a season ... way better now !! switch tricks steeze!!!
oh btw 43yo now and a disabled vet lol
And now you are rippppppping
You got me on the LMNT, good stuff. Makes the boarding noticeably different. Stamina is on point during heavy shredding sessions. Great flavors too, Watermelon Salt for the win, best flavor. Thanks for the product plug bud.
Cannot beat it! Can't go without it! Yewww
Listen to you guys talk about how great your snowboarding life is really helped me to be a better snowboarder.
Your stoked!!
BROOOO LMNT has helped me soooooo much!!! Tastes delicious as well hahah.
Thanks for the tips Tips!!!!
Its such a game changer....
Riding solo always sketches me out. But 100% agree on having a homie to keep you pumped on different tricks. It doesnt even have to be someone whos better if they match your energy to try something new.
FACTS
Had an embarrassing day at palisades last year and it totally made me fall in love with the sport because of how bad I was.
Fast forward a year later I have 8 mountain days total this year and I’m confident with my riding and carving
If ur scared just do that shit bro and embrace the falls , laugh it off and hop right back up
Nothing better than passion for progression
Legend 🙏
Woooo
Casey you're the Jesus of snowboarding, you keep it steady spreading love and stoke to everyone around you and we see you bro! Hope to run into you one day! Much love brother
Hahah just trying to spread stoke no matter what!
My last pair of boots were ATLEAST 6 years old. Maybe even older. Didn’t replace them until even duct tape wasn’t holding them together
Hahah might as well invest in what you love
Don’t know what it is about the easy coast vids but they always just hit different
Thats what im sayin
Shred Up & Carve!
Woooo
good stuff. rock the shred. not sure if you remember me. the big bald bmx guy who lived in the red roofs and worked at the govy gen. have a good winter bro.
Woooo I remember!! LEGEND
@@CaseyWillax have a good shred season bro
yeah im at that point where i dont care if i fall in the park, i work too much these days and it saps my eneregy, so anyday on the mountain for me is a good day
Who cares what anyone thinks! Keep it up!
Cr0bar is HOW/WHY I ever came to Mount Snow to try the mountain life. Pretty sure they had NO idea I was serious when he agreed I could sleep on their couch
Hahah Yewww
Yeeewwww❤!!!!
yewww!!
Bro, your set-up is so steeze. Got me wanting a travel van or something like that haha. Also, the sauna is HUGEEEEEE and a MUST!!!
Get her goingggg
ah man I was there that day. lowkey forgot you were in the area, even though I saw your helmet. I did see cro stop on top of jump 3 though, everyone on our chair was thinking he had way too much speed til he stopped. It's kinda funny looking back and not realizing you were the guy filming him lmao. good slushy new england days.
Hahah can't beat those days!
Brooo...the save he did at 18:35 😂😂😂😂...that might be one of the best saves I have ever seen!! Lol..YLTSI
Absolute legend
Omg, I so ready to start a gnarv lite. The dream dude.
get her goingggg
taking it back to mount snow and carinthia OG vlog days yewww
Woooo So much fun!
Just moved to Salt Lake the stoke levels are at an all time high. Great tips yeeeew
Stoking heavilyyyy in SLC
I ride mostly alone and it helps a LOT
Meditation and progression!
Dang I just bought new shred socks. Some of my old ones had holes. 😅 Like them cw's fo sho 👌
Get em!!
That was a very knowledgeable gym synopsis for a none gym bro. Everyone should stretch and not neglect the hip flexors.
You'll see every boarder stretching their hips
Live in Minneapolis and you got Hyland and Buck Hill available over lunch 🙏. I need some tips for those who started at 36 and are creeping on 40!!
YESSSSSS
19:28 ahhhhhh! See..... I was just in low gear but I need to get "pretty low" to really hit the progression on epic saves.
LFGGGG
13:10 Thats what we need!!! A tricks list!!! Show us your tricks list. How to go/progress/move on from 1 trick to another.
i don't have it anymore it was just every trick haha
EDIT26:00 MINZ INTO MIX - CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE STOKE LEVEL ON THAT TEEN GROM??
DID YALL HEAR HOW GIDDY HE WAS?? SO MUCH JOY -
Hahahah Yewww So much fun!
That laugh at 26:29 from that kid though!
hahaha
Bahahaha homie rockin low gear high in the revs! what a save lmao
Wooooo
Hey Casey, firstly great video! lots of great tips that I will keep in mind for the next time I'm going to be able to get on the mountain :). I was wondering if you could give me some snowboarding advice based on my story as a snowboarder as I really want to improve my riding skills.
I think compared to the majority of your audience, I'm not based in the USA/Canada and instead have mostly lived in Europe and thus have only gone on snowboarding trips in the French Alps (specifically Tignes and Val d'Isere everytime). I've begun snowboarding since I was very young, around 3-4 and am now 20, and would comfortably say my snowboarding skill is quite advanced in terms of basic mountain riding and my overall style. I absolutely love going super fast down slopes with no difficulties but what I love most of all is riding pow which we sadly don't get enough of in the French Alps :p !
However I am writing this because whilst I do consider myself a good snowboarder, I am absolutely a novice at two things which I really want to improve on namely: riding switch and doing tricks/park riding. Unfortunately when it comes to snowboarding time I am mainly hindered by the fact that I simply don't spend enough time on it. As I live relatively far away from the Alps, I realistically only snowboard for a week per year (usually in Dec/Jan; although this year I am going again this late March) which is obviously a very very limited amount of time. Because I find this specific week really precious and spend it alongside my family, I always choose to skip over trying to practice my switch stance (goofy for me) for a full day and instead always snowboard with my regular stance which I am very comfortable with. Similarly with doing tricks and park features, there are unfortunately really not a lot of parks in the Alps either, and are usually closed or super icy. Over the last few years I've really tried to focus on completing a backside 360 but it has never worked out for me and had several sketchy heel-edge catches. And because there is no pow usually, I am not able to practice simple jumps on random mountain features either sadly.
So overall I was just wondering if after reading my story, if you have any tips for me as I am going into my next trip soon :) I personally feel like before trying to do park features, I really want to learn riding goofy but feel very very uncomfortable with it and realise that I will likely have to dedicate time learning the basics all over again for the goofy stance; but if you have any other specific tips I would gladly appreciate those of course :D
Looking forward to your next vid!
Bro you literally just need more time on board!! Nothing else to it! Sounds like you know whats going on and have the right path, but you just need to snowboard MORE! Yewww
Consider psoas-stretching, opens us up in the opposite way of sitting and riding, makes for the perfect method perhaps, good for health regardless, YMMV, cheers 🎉
This is HUGE
Yewwww
GURTY
Bonus:
Take notes
Nothing fancy. On your phone. Recap what you did as the day goes. It helps.
100%
what kind of board camber do you usually ride?
Regular camber all the wayyyy
Don't be too proud to take a lesson. I'm an instructor who has been riding for over to 25 and I take clinics to improve both my teaching my riding! UA-cam videos are great for tips, but an instructor at your level will be able to observe your body movements and help dial you in to get better faster. Quick tip, if you see some instructors at your hill ask them about who is a good instructor for learning ...(fill in the blank) and request for that suggested instructor.
Always learning! Always progressing!
Keep up the stroke
always!
That's me in vid
hell ya!
I’m trying to double my doh but I’m struggling to push myself and not hold back. Because I typically ride alone I feel like I’m lacking that little push that forces you to ride to the edge of your skill.
I think the tip about riding the same place consistently might be the key for me though.
What’s more important in terms of progressing your skill; learning to ride faster while hitting side hits and doing basic flat ground tricks or focusing on a single trick until it’s mastered?
Make it your THING! Its like a workout almost. Gotta get the workout in 4-5 days per week to keep improving
Riding fast is a good skill to have to keep you quick on your feet and practice high speed edge control. Focusing on a single trick is a different approach once you already have all mtn skills
18:30 Holy save!
RIGHT?!
Great video but I was expecting some pointers on how to do the actual tricks and “improving” snowboarding. The moral of the Story is really to get out there and practice! Thanks for the video 😎👍🏽
You've got it! There are only so many conversations you can have with someone to help click a gear to help them improve. Going every single day will only have you getting better and better
Agree! 👍🏽 thank you 🙏🏽 😊
I wonder if you contact one of those epic shoe rebuilders on youtube and do a collab in the summer over extending boot life and performance. Might be worth it. Even if its shoe goo and needle/thread
Could be!! Yewww
Turn 40 in April. I want to chuck 7s on the big line and I have before. Just 10 or so years ago. I have this mental block but when I ride with people better then me my ego takes over and I fear nothing lol. When you coming to Tahoe dog?
haha savage! Maybe soon!
Great mix of action shots while giving tips on improving one’s self in snowboarding- great job legend! 🔥🏂🤙
having fun out here!
what are you supposed to do with your car keys?
Hide them somewhere gooooood
Big shout out to cr0wbaar for doing the trick!!! 30:25!!! Well executed!!!! Keep stoking, keep hydrated!!!!
Such a hero
🍄 🍄 ❤😂 🍄 🍄!! power up!! 🧠 open it up!!🎉🎉
Always!
You’re saying you don’t recommend having a few cold ones in the pockets? 😅
Hahah NOPE
L E G E HUN D?!
L E G E N D!!!!
Haha \m/
WOOO!
r u riding a 148?
156W
STEVE BIRKRAM
Woooo
Step 1
Jump into a frozen abyss 😂
hhahaha
Pretty low gear ⚙️ 😂😂
Purdyyyy
But also analyzing yourself. Why didn't the trick work, and what will we do different next time? Ask yourself that after everything you do
video yourself and compare yourself to pros. Look at the difffference
This is huge! Having film helps so much
Thats crazy haha, you guys do sauna with boxershorts? Here in Europe its full nude mandatory. Funny to see that cultural difference
We wear board shorts cuz there’s a pool usually accompanied. And 90% of people are nasty I personally wouldn’t want the general public naked anywhere near me 😂
Oh and it’s always male and female shared facilities
Yes, there is usually also a swimming pool accompanied with it here, and the facilities are also shared (the sauna and pool), dressing rooms are split, nobody bats an eye, the most normal thing in the world haha. People here are usually very clean, hygienic and discrete/respectful. Never had a bad experience tbh. Like I said, its funny to see the cultural differences 😄
i'm surprised that guy isn't wearing a helmet tbh
Sometimes
😂low gear 😂
lololol
step one stop watching CAsey and go shred, how many of the same vids we gonna make bud? staying relative is purty hard eh?
Imagine being negative to CW, dudes so positive out here trying to get people stoked on riding and provide help to people. You should probably reevaluate your life hater!
@caseysherrill2663 weirdo.
Your name is sick! If you make a banger video and people liked it ALOT, why wouldn't you make another one simliar but even better baby??
You’re still watching😂
guys frothing@@IHatePikeys
Ya my shit was 20 years old lamar andy hetzel addition I would have to say my brand new salomon assassin has definitely elevated my riding lol
Ohhh ya might as well upgrade the gear to upgrade the riding!
Its easy to improve when you have enough snow 😂🥲
Yewww
LOVES IT!!!😉👍🏻🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️💙❄️YOU ARE GREAT!!! WHAT IS YOUR DAILY NUTRITION CASEY?❤
