BEING ZEB POWELL | World of X Games
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 січ 2021
- North Carolina might not be known for its progressive snowboarding scene, but Zeb Powell is starting to change that. A native of Waynesville, N.C., Powell initially hated snowboarding because he was forced to ride regular. But a switch to goofy stance, followed by a quick grind, changed all that. Powell went on to combine classic snowboarding style with cutting edge tricks to create his own brand of snowboarding. And once X Games called, Powell shot straight to the top of the Knuckle Huck leaderboard. Heading into 2021, Powell is the new face of fun and creative snowboarding.

Moral of the story: Parental support is VERY important to help a kid achieve greatness.
and cash
Broke my heart to read, so many of us needed this, but didn't get the opportunity to recieve the proper support. Just hoping these generations can heal and move on from the past...
And cash. U right.
And a hard work ethic, and talent, and dedication and a number of other things that your parents can’t give you.
ALWAYS!
Already love this guy, how has he not been invited to any of the big comps this year, especially after winning knuckle huck?!
he just had a major surgery on his knee
@@yuanliao7026 didn’t realise that, what a shame.. hope we get to see more of him in the future
@@JD-gc7lt He was hitting the knuckle at the mountain I work at. Probably not fully healed but I have hope.
Needs to hit kings and queens
There's a video from Hood this summer where he's hitting the park on a 203 Nitro Cannon (Casey Willax's channel) and it's absolutely insane. He pulls out rotations at the last second. Dude got me interested in park again.
Zebs parents are Rad no wonder the kid is just awesome
Yes he's super lucky they gave him that kinda support, cause it's NOT cheap to be a Woodward kid for example. Most kids never get the opportunity.
@@dieseldabz7104 I met him and he really does deserves it. Such a good dude.
Literally the people I want to grow up to be. My time to be a badass athlete is probably past but I'll probably adopt some kid and turn them into total grom!

Indeed! Amazing people!
His parents seem absolutely amazing. Happy for him.
That dad deserve the world ❤️
He definitely should be invited more to x games. First time watching knuckle huck and he’s performance just elevated the game.
Zeb is truly one of the most inspiring humans you'll ever meet. Thanks Zeb for your impact on snowboarding!
As a black snowboarder this kid makes me want to shed a tear.....awesome.
This dude is half man, half magician. He's pulling tricks off things my mind couldn't imagine.
Those parents are absolutely amazing.
This family proves it’s more about love than blood. Zeb is such a beautiful and creative snowboarder. What a gorgeous family💕
The 8 people that disliked don’t get powder days
man i wish my life would've gone like his, he just embodies everything i value in snowboarding and i wish there were more famous riders like him. creativity over spin to win
Never too late to follow your dreams.
Saw Zeb last summer season riding a longboard at mount hood park. The stuff he does on a snowboard is insane. Cat-like moves, incredibly smooth and creative. Endless potential. Keep it up Zeb!
What a beautiful story and family. Ofcourse Zeb's gonna be awesome when everyone else in the family is awesome! :D
Kids energy is real time. Saw him out at my local last year practicing for knuckle huck. Keeping the culture and the hype alive. Remember to take notes kids. Style matters.
What a trip to see all these old clips of little Zeb at Cat. I'll never forget watching him FS 270 into a rail in front of me, I knew at that moment he was on another level from me. Way to go Zeb! You truly are an inspiration!
Zeb on the knuckle huck made me a fan and this mini doc solidify it forever now!
This mans needs a full length video part, and a invite to slopestyle !
Would love to see his slopestyle!
It’s been amazing growing up around this family, love you all! Keep goin crazy zeb. Always look back on when you were here.
Those parents deserve a ton of credit for cultivating zeb to his full potential
Such a G. This vid got me in all the feelings haha. Can’t wait to see more from Zeb. So creative!
Crazy that someone who started on my little local mountain is making it big! Keep it up Zeb! 828 is supporting you!
Zebs absolutely special... Also his parents are also a huge part of his growth.
Can't wait to see more of this dude. Great athlete

Talent! Amazing to see the dedication and practice. The way Zeb twists and flies AT WILL is awesome. His great skill gives him a spontaneity and confidence in riding that is not usually seen.
Zeb you are the man fr ... do you have merch??? Your own snowboard ????? Anything man we gotta support 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I could watch him all day! And know nothing about snowboarding. I have never even seen snow. But I do know about being in a natural flow, a mind flow state. And that is what this kid has. It is amazing!!
Met him the other day at the small ski mountain I work at in NC. Definingly as cool and genuine as you see in the video if not more.
Fell in love with his style the first run I ever saw him ride. Pure creativity.
This is sooo dope! love getting the whole background story
dude is amazing!!!! big love for zeb, hope to see him competing when his injury is fully healed c:
This story so beautiful. These parents are so amazing
This family represents true America.. of all color's. Love this
I've seen Zeb riding around Carinthia for a few years now and he's always throwing crazy creative tricks and bringing good energy, good to see him getting the attention and respect he deserves!
This Man has a truly free and creative STYLE. He needs to be on the Hill doing what he's blessed with.. awesome Man
You can’t hate this man
a year later and honestly this dude got crazy show value...just seeing him try insane tricks in x-games really make me want to see him in major competitions
As much as I love his story and his parents support, I cant stop his dad from reminding me of Mr. Mackey. Its actually hilarious. Big s/o to him and Zeb though
Mkay
Such a great boarder I wish i had a tenth of his skill love watching zeb ride and hope that he continues with his style such an inspiration
So proud to see talent coming off my cherished hometown hill with such an interesting story to boot.

Absolutely beautiful story. All the best to you brother.
Been following this dude since we won those Knucks! Very inspiring.
The one and only!! Big love Zeb! 🙌
How is he not on the invited athletes for knuckle huck... he literally won last year
sickest knuckle hucks I've ever seen
I don’t know if it’s true but I heard that he had an surgery on his knee.
But Tischendorf, sebbe de Buck and Shaun White are only invited to knuckle huck,
It is like they don’t want the best out there but an exciting competition
@@chrispvisionsmeditation4124 Knee surgery recovery
Hes doin fine, saw him blasting ice on a powder board
He tore his meniscus and he’s just now riding again out here in nc that might be why
Tears Again!!.. Xgames for Life!!.. ☮️
Just shows you what love can really accomplish.
Dang....... this kid is something out of this world!!!!
I'm old.. but... your one of my idols! Keep ripin bro.
Zeb's an inspiration! Cataloochee is my home mountain and they still won't build any jumps... at least we have that knuckle into alley cat. Would love to see Zeb hucking it at his root mtn
Such a legend in the making 💪🏾✊🏾♥️
Love everything about this!! :D

Such a boss. Seems like a solid dude all around.

so crazy how good he's become coming from tiny north carolina mountains
his mom and dad need gold medals too.

Planet Zebulon! This was great!
As a minority snowboarder I adore Zeb. He's an awesome role model and hope he welcomes in more minorities into the sport
