Today we're teaching three friends on their first day of snowboarding! We're taking them through all the beginner snowboarding steps from learning how to skate to linking turns on the bunny hill. Before starting we did a quick snowboard gear check. It's important that your snowboard boots are tightened properly when learning to snowboard and that your snowboard is set up properly. Next we found out which one was the girls front foot by running and sliding in the snow. Your dominant foot need to be in front when learning beginner snowboard turns. Once we got our front foot we practiced skating and snowboarding down with one foot strapped in. This is good practice for getting off the chairlift. Next we headed to the beginner snowboarding area to practice our heel and toe sliding with both feet strapped into our snowboard. By practicing sliding you learn to stop and change the direction of your snowboard. Finally we practice doing beginner snowboard turns. It took a few attempts with some help, then a few small crashes, but all three girls linked a few turns together! For more beginner snowboarding tips check out the beginner snowboarding playlist! If you have any questions about your first day of snowboarding you can leave them in the comments! Thanks for watching!

Wish someone would have done more of this with me when i started, they just strapped me in and sent me downhill. Lol.
This is way more of how beginning should be taught. Goodjob!👍
I agree. I had no help or guidance. I tried the bunny Hill and kept falling. After a few tries, my friend just said let's go to the black diamond you'll learn better... That was a bad idea. Lol
SAME!! I wasn’t even strapped in! I was just expected to know what the heck I was doing 😂
@@sindirodriguez1030 yup same here. But after this weekend. I applied these methods and it really helped me out. I had way more fun and didn't fall as much. So I was able to enjoy it more.
@@svue92 sounds like your friend just wanted to go himself and didn't care about your health or safety
for me it was easy i got it right away im happy about that
I want this guy to teach me how to snowboard. He’s so patient.
Wow. Just goes to show how a really good teacher can make the process of learning to ride way better! After seeing this, I looked back to the advice I was givin, and this would've been soo nice to have!
I envy you, at least you got advice. I am selflearned, took me 3 days to learn to turn. Of course i had no idea i was goofy, wasted those 3 days on regular stance. :)
Bro seriously. I would just bomb down and either come to a wreckless halt or eat it so bad. Quick learning process but not safe
I member these days....so brutal....the burning legs! Glad I stuck it out and those days be long gone!
Gmork my legs didn't burn doing it for the first time last year it was the day afy we with my upperbody not even able to hold my phone
SuperFreak So true!!!!! There is much pain the first days you try this..
Pixel People’s legs burn when they stay on their heel side, either that or their calves burn while staying on their toe side.
or the arms from putting you back up after each falls
Agreed. Just got back and my upper body is dead.
My Friends just took me straight to the lift 🙃
To my friend i took straight onto the lift: Im sorry o.O
I feel you bro
Same like my husband 2000 m altitude scared me for life 🤣
Same here, went down the bunny hill once and immediately to the lift after. I still sent it a few times but I feel like I didn’t learn much. It was my first time ever snowboarding and I’ve already got a lift ticket for next week. Super sore still but I think I’ll stick to the bunny hill for awhile this time
Hubby took me all the way to the top, first time, no practice , nothing. I wiped everyone out coming off the lift and 2 hrs for me to get down the mountain 🤣
Would love to see you work with a beginner who has already gotten the basics but is still working on their turns and going from heel to toe edge and vise versa.
we plan on following their progression and can show this the next day riding with them
I feel like you can grow even more by taking in new clients (beginners) and offer instructing services and while doing so you can make even more videos such as these. Keep up the great work by the way
I'd pay a lot to have a good instructor like him ! :)
Marc Coadou hahah I had him as an instructor like 6 years ago back when he taught
+BlackbirdVizion hey! Who is this?
SnowboardProCamp haha I was just in a group lesson you were teaching for a couple days in 2012. I remember you were still editing the "killer trees" video. I was like in grade 7 loll, good times.
iVince905
wow they learn fast, all that in 1 day? patient instructors really help huh!
Sushi I guess... Most fast learners can learn to do consistent s-turns in one day...
@@bobby5031 I was going snowboarding for the first time watched some videos. after 3 hours without instructions s- turns became pretty easy. :D
I did it with an instructor and he was such an impatient asshole. I just left the lessons and did it myself.
Sushi they both seem to have said they have prior skiing experience, and I heard learning boarding off of skiing is a hell of a lot easier. But yeah the instructor has a lot to do with it lol
If you're gonna be an instructor you better be patient, not like the ones who just strap you in and push you down "GOOD LUCK!😉"
When I was learing I paid for multiple lessons and sadly this is 110% better lesson then I ever got when learning! You are so good at explaining things so they actually make sense and breaking down how snowboarding works so you know what you should and shouldn't be doing, when I was learning so often I would catch an edge or lose balance and have no clue what I was doing wrong because it was never explained to me. Thank you so much for your videos and really helping people!
A warning to all beginner snowboarders. I slide withe my right foot as the front and when someone pushes me i stop with my right foot, but i snowboard with my left foot as my front foot. You DON'T know what your front foot is until you actually start turning. I made a mistake thinking that my right foot was the front and struggled with turning for days. One day i tried turning with my left foot as the front foot and not only was it easier for me but i learnt turning in a couple of hours. Don't make the same mistake as i did give both feet a chance and you'll see for yourself 😊
David Micevski haha I did the same thing and it took me forever to learn to ride, but on the plus side I can ride switch or regular exactly the same now
Exactly, give both goofy and regular stance a try. Dont do the push from behind test. The best way to figure out your stance is to try both and see which one is the stronger.
David Micevski so try boarding switch is what you're saying?
David Micevski I kept switching sides for the first hour but figured oj t that I'm right foot forward
haha, same! thought i was the only one with that problem.
snowboard with them more often. it'll be cool to see in each video how they are all improving. I wanna see ya teaching like this more often
I've been riding for over 10 years but this video gets me so hype. I love seeing new people start to "get it".
Definitely gonna use this video for when I bring beginners to the mountain.
loved the vid with these girls. make more videos with them cause i want to see them progress:)
CasperEDM I agree. I'm learning myself and I love to see/follow other people's progression
Kudos to the girls for listening to instructions and having fun at the same time. Kudos to the instructors for breaking it down to the basics.
The girl in the burgundy pants made some nice turns. Hope she keeps riding 👌🏼
dafuqs a burgundy, translation to english?
Tehasce "dafuq"? Kind of ironic to use a word like that and not know what color burgundy is. Maybe try googling it before you make yourself look like a fool?
Tehasce it's a color bro
+Tehasce do you even english?
+Gela _ fyi the only color pants any of the girls have are black blue and purple so gtfo with your made up shit
Shout out to these girls progressing so quickly!!
I’m so excited to try snowboarding this winter....if corona don’t say otherwise ey
Gave me confidence that I can pick up snowboarding! Maybe at a slower pace, but reviewing these videos helps it make more sense!
Had my first snowboarding session today and spent a majority of the time on my butt thanks to overcorrection.
I want to teach my girlfriend this season. This is great instruction on how to teach someone new. Thanks for the helpful vid!
Watching this vid was more helpful than my 2 days with my instructor..amazing what you can learn by watching others learn..keep em.coming
I so wish I had you as my instructor! I love how patient, encouraging, and helpful you are. I feel like you are so good at making sure the person is having fun and is comfortable with you which is so important!
Kevin, your videos have helped me progress so much as a rider, and I love keeping up with your latest tutorials. I would love to see a video with some tips on approaching some more unique features in the parks, such as walls and unique jibs, and other things outside of the basic rails, boxes, and jumps
Your beginning snowboard videos really made my first day snowboarding go so much smoother and calm my nerves. These videos are fantastic! Wish you were in Colorado!! Cheers!
This is a great video for me to use to help all of my friends out who have never boarded. I encourage them to watch all your videos before we go out. Thank you
Damn he’s a good teacher I just got sent down the hill first time ... 😂
I was teaching my friend to snowboard the other day! Thx to your vids, I was able to teach her the toe and heel edge, the falling leaf, turning and going of a chair lift!( in just 4 hours) ! You are also the reason I get better at snowboarding thx.
Great video, please more from learn these girls. I am a beginner and fun to watch as it is the beginning of learning.
This is the first movie I've ever seen of learning for beginners as it really looks like.
Thank You :)
love watching people go through the first day on a board. hard to remember how hard stopping was when i first rode
I want him as my teacher!!! His energy is awesome!
Took my girlfriend skiing today got cussed out and almost dumped...
did she break up with you?
I'd love to have a boyfriend like that haha
f
dang mayyybe next time make sure she has patience lol
Did she break up with you??
If she did i feel bad for you.
You're such a great instructor! Not a bad looking one either ☺️
EugeneeDelx3 ew
hes taken 😂
My god someone can’t even be nice to someone without being called a “thot” or “whore” nowadays.
@@savannahcanfield7134 Same. Guys can't give compliments w/o being accused of being a creeper rapist, basically.
I learned snowboarding last year at the age of 34 (my wife is a really good snowboarder allready) and I know how hard it is to learn the first steps on the bunny hill. Can't remember how often I badly crashed on my butt XD! After 2 Days I was ready to do the first turns and after these successes I was getting better every day. Can't wait to go snowboarding soon (March YEAH) and I will certainly try some of your tutorial tips (Best tip: Steering with backhand)!
Next Goal: Link turns properly :)!
Great Videos, keep going!
Thank you for these educational videos. They saved me from getting frustrated and learn easier on my own. No need for a class haha. I still struggle with my toes but hey, I made it all the way to the mountain falling like 20 times 😂. It could be worse and a day later I’m sore as s&@/t. Invest in those crash pants, they saved my butt.
Patient and encouraging instructors. It is so important to keep it fun when it is so easy to get discouraged. Way to go team!
I ski but would love lessons like this on boarding! I tried to board once 7 years ago, had the worst time. After 3 confident seasons on skis and a much fitter body I think I'm ready to try again
Nice, first day, they are doing amazing. I went for my second day yesterday, was hoping some improvement but kinda suck. I don't know but some people learn things really fast.
Great vid. I enjoy seeing more gals snowboarding. Especially very short women..like myself haha
I tried snowboarding for the first time last week. My instructor spent no more than 10 minutes teaching me how to skate and turn and then took me up a blue run, where I quickly learned how to link my turns. The next morning, I was feeling really confident to go alone but it turned out to be a lot more difficult without someone to encourage me, comment on my posture, and point out my mistakes, so I ended up crashing and tumbling down slopes for 6 hours. Anyway, I got pretty smooth by the end of my third day, so big thanks to the instructor who saved me lots of time and frustration and made my first day really fun! My arms are really sore from repeatedly pushing myself up after crashing though xD. Awesome content on this channel, by the way, I'm very inspired to keep practicing and become decent at snowboarding! Great full-body workout and super fun! I'm never going back to skiing.
I'm on day 3 of learning to snowboard and this definitely helped a lot!! Thank you (:
Nicole Baird just a tip, focus on your tail and remember that you cannot turn/lean before you tail has turned otherwise you'll go down hill and definetly fall
Nicole Baird did u learn alone or with instructor?
If you are trying to determine your stance on your first day I recommend trying both ways. Start by skating regular for 2 minutes. Then try skating goofy for 2 minutes. Usually the student can figure out their strong side within this time.
When you have both feet strapped in you are free to ride goofy or regular, whatever you prefer. This freedom is why I like the sport so much.
For those beginners make sure you take a lesson from a certified instructor. They will tell you about the 4 board performances. These are the ways you can move your board to get the board to do your wishes. They are Tilt, Twist, Pivot, and Pressure. I saw no mention of torsional twisting of the snowboard here. Maybe I missed it.
Daymon Gray in the video he said that her board was set to goofy even though she was regular and that it was messing up with her turns. How would I be able to switch it from goofy to regular? Sorry if that’s a really stupid question.
I'll never forget my first few edge catches. Bloody...
I wish I had an instructor as good as you when I was learning. My first lesson started with having us go straight without learning how to stop.
You ever consider doing teaching videos with subscribers? :)
I love everything about this video
+Brown Eyed Girl Thank you! We're going to try and do more videos with these girls as the progress!
You are a very good instructor ... after I watched your videos I gained more confidence in myself and now I'm doing well ... thanks and happy new year !!!
This was great. Tried skiing last year. Terrifying as I struggled to stop. I like look up you stop. And that someone can hang onto you while learning. Takes the fear out of out of control runaway.
The fellas have incredible patience. The ladies had incredible perseverance. Good day 1 all.
Just started snowboarding on Saturday. Tons of fun (and falls)!
What a fantastic instructor!!! I wish you were closer for my kids... WOW!
gotta go down an actual slope on your first day and experience the inevitable brutal falling
I wouldn't do that. Good way to get hurt. I was absolutely, completely, sore after my first day on the bunny hill. My entire body was sore. That was plenty for me.
Actually now that I think of it, I did try the lift to go on a run as the last thing on my first day. I caught an edge and slammed into the ground and knocked the air out of my lungs.
Can do what you want but I wouldn't recommend it.
Absolutely right
yeah i did that on my first couple months of snowboarding and i broke my wrist
@@clamum i think you probably should because thats how i learned and yeah ur sore because thats normal
I've found the much longer green route to be far easier than the tiny bunny slope. It's hard to turn correctly on almost flat ground
man, it s nice to see how the people have different style of reception, as you saw the purple pants girl, after she saw an visual example of you making the turns she completely understood.
I'm so excited to learn after watching this video! I'm sure a lot of this info will stick with me :) Nicely done!
It became so fresh in my memory! We all do the same mistakes lol!
Man, so much nicer than my first day with my cousin who was also a newbie teaching me. Soo much pain. lol. great job girls!
Hey Kevin you help me with all my snowboard tricks and tips. Keep up the awesome work and I will see you soon up at whistler hopefully
These guys are so supportive! My teacher had a lot more people so I dont blame him but there really wasn't much positive reinforcement
This is a great place to learn! Kevin you are a great teacher too I really struggle to learn boarding, because I am extremely afraid, I wish I have been taught on a easy slope
Great video Kevin. This is just what i was looking for in order to learn.
Your videos are awesome! I just started snowboarding today, and your videos really helped me! I still can't really do the toe-to-heel turn really well though... BUT HEY thanks for the pro tips!
Great video & such a great instructor! And what a great lace to learn snowboarding. Where is this place located?
Kevin, you are doin great job! Love how you are teaching us noobs :) It looks like you are really happy to teach people how to ride. Thank you for that :)
And nice camera job! :)
This is the sort of vid I wished existed when I started boarding. Seeing someone else go through their first day makes your own a little less daunting!
Note! I recommend for a beginner to start on a magic carpet instead of letting them go down a green slope first. It really helps to learn the basics on the carpet and then go on a green slope because when I started snowboarding, I had to go down a green slope for my first run and I took 40 mins to get down that hill not exaggerating. But when I taught my friend, I taught her the basics on the magic carpet till she got them then when she went down the hill, she only took 15 mins maximum! It really makes a difference so just start with magic carpet. Also do not go on a green slope if you did not get the basics on the magic carpet because then it will be almost/ next to no help. And btw awesome vid!!!
I remember.. Accident after accident.. Pain, destroyed leg. But after that all I would do it twice.
That feeling when u cruse down the hill that sound in you're ears after every nice turn.. Absolutely freedom😎🙌
i would love to see more videos on their progress and to see teaching methods for snowboard instructors as i am wanting to teach in the near future
Should have watch this before I started to snowboard yesterday. It would be so much easier, fun and not having so much muscle aches.
Awesome video guys 😃👍I totally enjoyed watching it and I think the girls had fun😎❤️
Kevin, you are such a great instructor! I learned a lot from just watching your videos!
Really look forward to seeing your videos every day man! thanks for doing it these are great
Wish I had you as my instructor! I learned at Gala Yuzawa, Japan. I had a Brit instructor who was mildly bored and a beginner one. She forgot to teach us how to strap the board and didn't notice I was a goofy and kept teaching with the standard. She was basically saying, "Sorry, my bad didn't teach that" half of the time. Also there was a blizzard. Would love to try it again though!
Im learning snowboarding from your videos. They are really helpful!
heh. I am just about to go to teach my girlfriend for the fist time. just checked what's new at utube and here. s ur video. =) cheers from Moscow)
I just started watching you a week ago i think and i feel like i've watched every Video already and cant wait till you upload another one :D
Im so pumped up that i can ride again in March in Austria on the Kitzsteinhorn.
I hope we'll shredd the mountains together one day :D
- Have a great day everyone and stay fresh! ^^
Thanks so much ... we made it through our first 6 day snowboarding experience ion NZ thanks to your vids.. Hats off to you bro :)
Hey Kevin I was wondering do you skateboard at all?
Just got done snowboarding yesterday. My ass still hurts haha. My friends literally took me up the hill with minimum guidance lol. Would definitely go again sometime in the new future.
I loved this video! You guys are such awesome instructors and make it look less scary!
This is so cool! I want to start boarding, I hope when I start I find friends like you guys!
Loving these longer videos recently Kevin !!
lol I was on my first day snowboarding, practiced like 3 hours, kinda got the hang of it, then went on a lift after I was ok with the carpets my head and butt hurt after I came down
I had great speed then forgot how to stop and my helmet came flying off😂
@@sophiamorales2701 shit, that's bad! I hope you didn't hit your head. My helmet saved my life three times a day when I started learning
I would say that those girls picked it up so quickly!
Also that you should teach them how to bail as bailing is a skill in itself, and once you've done it you know your limits so your confidence grows!
Hello! I've been watching your videos and they seem pretty great. I hope I will remember your tips on the slope!
My problem many times is that I do not know how to correct when I make a mistake.
So, if you have the chance, please make more videos with actual beginners riding :) (and you giving them tips of course)
When I started I got 3 runs on a bunny hill them they said I was good and just let me rocket down hill
I wish I had you guys as teachers! You are so nice and chill ^^
I love watching girls learn to snowboard versus boys, I feel like they are far more comfortable with asking for help, showing that they are scared, and messing around during the lesson
Wow Kevin your a great instructor! Love your videos! Keep up the good work.
Good instructor 👍👍👍👍
Love to see more girls out there shredding! Something we really promote on our channel is girls that send it! 👊
i wish i had snow in my country snowboarding looks so much fun
Watching this so I know how to teach my friends properly this weekend
Going snowboarding next week. Really looking forward to it!
Awesome video Kevin. Really got my girlfriend excited to get out on the slopes. Keep up the videos!!
good on you guys! Always love to see new riders and people inspired! Gotta say though, you got more patience than me! haha
About to start teaching my 3yr old next week. God it’s a brutal process! But feels good when you see someone get it, and a new passion is born. Last person I taught was my wife, about 7yrs ago.
I’ve taught quite a few people, but never little kids. Any advice or tutorial link on teaching really young kids?
Setting her up 15/-12. Wondering if I should do the usual:
Heels/toes/falling leaf/linking turns progression...or just let her have fun bonzai style in the learning area for a while before hitting the bunny hill..?
I hope I have this good and patient of an instructor tomorrow. First time for me at age 52!
Have you heard of Snowbowl in AZ FLG? That’s my neck of the woods, snowboarding season starts Tuesday for me!
One of the best videos for beginners! Thanks! :)
This video was awesome. Would love to see more of the girls and how they're progressing. I'm a girl and just learning how to snowboard ---> can you go over the gear they're wearing?!? 🙏🏻🙋🏻😍
we are trying to find another day to go out with them, but the snow if really hard atm so not great learning conditions, just check out what happened the other day to david beckam's son in whistler -> broken collarbone
Chris Eyres OMG Chris! 😱 😳 Be careful out there guys --> Better wear extra padding 😄 See ya in the next vid.
The patience of this guy is beyond heavens.
Hey Kevin, what are some bad habits that a beginner can create? I'm at that point where I can link my turns, but I've been told to make sure that I don't 'whip' my tail using my weight to initiate turns and apparently I 'kind of' do that when initiating my toe edge, but I'm not positive because I haven't had anyone film me recently. Are there any tips to make sure you don't create bad habits and are there any special ways to break those bad habits?
Anyway, thanks for all your videos, they've truly helped me this season as a beginner who's trying to get up to the mountains as much as possible!
Also, cool video. I liked seeing you instruct beginners in person. It was very cool to see your words take affect for someone who was learning! You should do more!
whackedout101 What you are doing is counter-rotating, I did that when I started linking my turns as well, the best pointer i picked up is point your front hand forward and follow it when carving, and let the board follow, instead of whipping around from toe to heel.
I mean, when I first started out I would counter-rotate when I would start riding switch and I fixed that. I guess I'll try and make sure I keep my board doing the work and not my whip. I don't whip my tail when I go from toe to heel, I do when I go from heel to toe.
I had the same problem but it's just corrected itself slowly
I've been following Kevin's videos for a couple seasons now and I know he's a great instructor, but I just couldn't believe how easy the girls were progressing. Until she (kind of) said at the end that they're already skiers, so now it makes sense :P
Nevertheless, they did a great job!
