10 snowboard hacks to make life on the mountain easier. A hack is basically an very easy solution to a big or annoying problem. I've learned these snowboard hacks over the years from friends or just through trial and error. I hope these 10 snowboard hacks help you out. If you have any cool life hacks or snowboard hacks it would be great to hear about them in the comment section. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video! - Спорт
When you're on the chairlift and your foot hurts from the weight of the board, just unstrap the front binding and let the board fall. You'll be amazed by how much lighter it feels!
Worked. Also managed to kill a skiier who passed under me. Best day of my life.
+HS Moyle LoL
+Scott Noll i just rest the board over my free foot
+HS Moyle My dad was killed 3 weeks ago by a falling snowboard...Damn you.
+Mizito hahahahaah
ProTip: get wasted at the bar during lunch this will limber you up when you're eating shit on the slopes
works better than stretching fo sho
This technique also helps your bravery and confidence lol
For bonus points, hot box the gondola. I did it at Killington when I was there last week the dude operating the lift was like "daaaaamn dude"
LMAO

snowboard hack #1- wear clothes. it tends to get a little chilly on the mountain. especially if your naked.
Will Taylor nice
such a good hack 10/10
Lol
Will Taylor thank you so much I almost forgot about that
Instructions unclear got dick stuck in zipper
A "hack" i've found is to put a keychain on your zipper of your jacket, so if you hold your phone on an inside pocket (like i do) it's easier to get the jacket undone with thick gloves on because you have a bigger pulley to grab on to.
Brock Butler also I can hang my Tamagotchi on there for easy access so I can feed that little bastard before he dies
and then you use your phone with thick gloves..?!
@@jamoin3829 open jacket. Take glove off. Use phone. Things chill fast in windy weather. Fully charged phones die in 30 seconds and hands feel like death after a minute. Keeping the glove on while you unzip your jacket protects the hand from abrasions. Velcro is like sand paper on cold skin
@@clarice8604 I died
I would suggest having a wuss so instead of a keychain in case of an avalanche or (something that has happened to me and am lucky to be a live) you get stuck in a tree well
Easy snowboard hack- use a board. It is kind of hard to snowboard without a board
"kind of hard"
It’s not possible
Dude thanks so much, I never even thought of this
cardboard?
Lots of things seem common sense once you hear it from someone else BUT can often take a lot of experience to work out for yourself!! Kevin, it's obviously that you've dealt with a lot of beginners as you treat them with respect by providing basic information without making them feel uncool!! I'm SURE that sooooo many new boarders have benefitted from this video over the years!!
My favourite hack, is keeping an emergency pair of board shorts in my snowboard bag, because hot tub parties can start quickly when on the mountain and you need to be ready!
1: Roll up your pant legs when you walking around on the parking lot or whatever and make your pant lasting a little bit longer
2: DO NOT TOUCH the glas of your goggles. They have a anti fog layer and touching and rubbing the glas will destroy this layer. So if you don't need your goggle during lunch for example put it in your goggle case
3: If it's pretty warm (spring time) put a swim short under your snowboardpants. It is getting dry really fast and after snowboarden you can just undress your wet snowboardpants and have nice comfortable ride home without sweating =)
4: Don't store your board in a boardbag after a snowboardday. Let it dry for 1-2 Days and wipe the edges with a towel to prevent rust
5: If it is really really cold and you don't want to cover your nose with a facemask put some tape on your nose or lube it with some grease (vanishing creme for example)
6: if your frontfoot hurts while sitting in the chairlift loose your toestrap a little bit
maybe i should do a snowboard hacks video too =)
my* Hybrid Awesome tips man! I always loosen my straps for the chair.
Another way is to rest the back of your board on your free foot
Buy zeal goggles. They put the anti fog in between the lenses and it works amazingly
wish I read that earlier, Im a total noob, probably shouldn't have gotten a top of the line board(discounted deep but still), left it in the bag after a day on the mountain. Nice and rusty now. :(
1. Buy good snowboard specific pants and good gloves with wristguards. I highly recommend the suspender style of pants (Spyder makes some nice ones)--it will keep you nice and dry and will save you from ice rash in the event of a fall.
2. Carry a screwdriver/snowboard tool all the time. You may not realize your bindings are loose until you get up to the top of the mountain for the first time. Loose bindings can break and are very dangerous to ride down with, especially on the first run of the day.
3. If you think you may want to go snowboarding in the winter, shop early over the summer to get deals on last season gear.
3. Best advice ever, always do so 👍
Dehydration: fail every 10min and eat enough snow
Don’t eat snow
@@whitelinefishing8593 joke
Great tip!
always bring a pair of extra lightweight knit gloves to wear under your primary gloves in case of freezing temperatures
Tip: If your foot/leg starts hurting because of the weight of the board just use your other foot and kick it under your board for some added support. Just remember to move your foot as your getting ready to drop in off the lift :)
Be aware that this method of resting your board will eventually lead to the edge of your snowboard damaging your boots.
Im C O T W place it on top of the crossbar.
I will add for the first one: don’t tighten up you snowb shoes until you will put the snowboard on the top of mountain on your feet. Often the problem is that your feet get a bit swollen, so when you tighten up you boots in the very beginning of the day before you even walk in them your feet will be overtight later, but if you walk a bit in your boots and your feet will become a bit bigger-swollen kinda, then you will tighten up the shoes and feel much more comfortable(p.s. I am snowboarding sometimes for 7-10 days from 9am to 7/8pm non stop in Alps. This trick always save me(especially on 3-4th day).
Second- for googles, there is a spray that can help to prevent that. If it doesn’t help and it’s super coldout there, then you just can put a napkin right in a very corner of your mask, it will absorb the humidity, or you can clean your mask from the fog just by cleaning fog with napkin by moving it inside of googles from one corner to another 😋
How is drinking water a hack?
not water coconut wster it helps keep you hyderated longer than water
+Cringle Lions water
+Zach Weibel Snowboard Hack #11:
Do you find you often run into trees, other people, and fencing when your eyes are closed? Here's a hack-- open your eyes silly!
+Zach Weibel because people are dumb as shit.
Zach Weibel Gavin Oslund that is true
Snowboard hack for beginners: if you're riding in powder or deep snow and find yourself in a long chair lineup, take your board off and scrape all the snow out from your bindings and your sole every few runs otherwise it will turn into ice and you will have a hard time taking strapping in. Another hack for beginners: Use your powder skirt. It is there for a reason. If you find you are taking your gloves or mitts off all the time, put the lanyard on your wrists, don't rip them off and soon as you get them from the store. They are also there for a reason. I've been snowboarding all over the world and have been riding for 20-years. Good Vid!
For the ear bud hack, leave your left ear bud in. Left ear is associated with the right hemisphere of your brain. Allowing you to "enjoy" the music better. While the right ear going to the left hemisphere allows easier conversation interpretation, etc.
Wow I think I've noticed this effect. I somehow intuitively always take out the right one when I wanna hear whats going on or being said around me. Interesting!
I always keep the left one in and the right one out. I find its easier to listen to conversations more and it's also better for when you want to listen to music better
Haha funny, I'm doing it right now xD
+McCANTS313 Actually ears don't change hemispheres. Sounds go straight to the temporal lobe on the same hemisphere. The brain processes what you hear evenly so any "effects" are just placebo. More than likely you just like listening with that side because it's your dominant ear.
Loosening laces at the bottom of the boots is a good idea that I'll try next time I head out.. Thanks
when sending it for da boyzzz make sure the footy be rollin to capture all your hella dank slides and jumps
+James Koppelmann That should be hack #1 fuck all the rest of these I tried to do a hella dank jump today and ate shit didnt even film it though I should have. Gotta stack them clips for my boyzz so they can put together my dank video part.
One hack he failed to mention is a very important one. It is essential to keep your board freshly grated with a cheese grater in order to allow maximum effectiveness for the rider and it will also keep your board in peak condition. Pro tip, your welcome.
Joke or?
Nice hacks dude, can u teach me how to walk, it's rly hard bro And I need a hack for that man
Hack #11: get baked! Pow and weed is the best combination ever! It literally feels like your in the clouds!
In warmer weather conditions... You can use Paro wax, as a hot wax. It works awesome. Like $3 for a box. Buy a small travel iron at a thrift store, instead of a ski/board hot wax iron.
Rain x on your top sheet is great for no snow stick. Just dont put it where rest your foot when you push.
Pending on your boot manufacture, the laces can be junk.... Particularly 32. Get some good laces. Always have a spare set with you... as well as a multi tool and binding parts. Ladders and ratchets.
u need a gopro 4 all ur mad clips... dats hack #1
gotta get the clips for the bois
there's a reason why this video is on the " beginner snowboard playlist " if you're not a beginner and you're watching this then just don't complain
heres one, if you dont have a stomp pad just put down a few strips of hockey tape where you would put the stomp pad
Great tip!
damn thanks
+Fergar Larden Or learn to do some one-foot boarding without a stomp pad or a replacement? It took me some time and offcourse it's not always so easy but when there's not much to board to the next chairlift I just leave it. It feels this improved my general riding also.
+Ori Vaes thanks dude!
+SnowboardProCamp hard surf base coat/tropical wax works just as fine if you create big enough bumps!
Thanks for the tips👍 I have a hand warmer in my pocket so if my hands start to get cold I'll just press the metal button. It's always easier to snowboarding if you aren't freezing ☺️
These are good tips for beginners like me. Thanks! Don't listen to the negative comments!
hey kev ! quick thought about the earbud hack, be carefull using it. having 2 different sources of volume will make the volume for each one of them feel twice as low... so a lot of people tend to increase the volume of their music. So for a exended period of time can cause serious and permenant damage to your earing ! i would then suggest finding a pair of earhpones that lets the ambiant sound go trough and deacrease the volume... Also within a few minute you'll naturally adjust to that volume and it wont feel as low as it actually is ! ....
Love the channel ! hope to go ride blackcomb and wistlersoon !
Cheers from montreal !
When I carry my board, I find im often tired and just want to get into the lodge to get a Redbull, I carry my board with the lower binding resting against the back of my forearm and with the nose pointed downward, I just find it easier
I find myself going between this and the one in the video
These aren't hacks, they are just what you do normally when snowboarding
+James Donald Maybe they're normal now because the video came out a year ago. haha, maybe not.
+SnowboardProCamp lol
I agree, these are basic things any half decent instructor will tell you on the 1st day. Unless you have a pain in the ass client then keep quiet and watch them suffer. Apart from the hydration stuff we are duty bound to tell then that one.
Freebygsy1 it's hacks for new snowboarders.
Thanks! A lot of these helped me when I was first learning!
Take a snowboard multi tool out with you. Someone's bindings always come loose at some point. There aren't always tools at every lift and sometimes they are pretty chewed up in any case. Burton Bullet is a nice compact one and you can use the flip up handle to hack ice out of the binding as well when it builds up.
Another way to solve the goggle fog problem is either taking a spray bottle, or a paintbrush, and getting some warm water with a bit of soap in it, spray/paint on a light layer, let it dry, and your goggles won't fog up.
Okay, I see a lot of people commenting its just plain common sense... Like no. CLEARLY we humans struggle with common sense, and MANY people find these useful. When someone works hard on something, like this video, instead of coming to the comments and being rude, maybe just keep your mouth shut...? Thats. A. Hack.
Another 31 days till I can go ride the mountain. God waiting is so annoying :) Nice tips.
I love your tips!!! Will try a bunch this season!! I started jumping while riding last season, and I can do an ollie and some switch riding, so I guess this year I'll start slowly with that again and then go to the park!! Love all of your Park Begginer Videos... and gotta say that you are super cute :P
I have those same bindings on my 2014 Burton joystick. The Malavita bindings are dope for going in the park!
I just watched a 4 minute video that tells me how to use basic common sense. Thanks...
Sense is no longer common. But yes I'd worked most of this out myself.
Emilio Estrada exactly
Hmm you call this hacks. i call it just plain logic :/
I agree, but for beginners it's decent advice.
KingInky13 I honestly think the ear bud one was plain logic lol
NiNjaXrEhaB True. For that one, I think it was just Skullcandy trying to throw their products into the video...
Thanks for all your tips
If your goggles ever get coated with snow gun snow and it freezes on, take out your hand warmer and rub it around the frozen spots. It will melt the ice right off.
While it will get rid of the ice, the rubbing will also put scratches into the lens. Better bet is to lay the warmer on until the ice melts and then *dab* away with a clean cloth.
Loving the recess stickers.
When should I start putting on wax ? I've used my newly bought board about 10-15 times. When buying the worker said that I should let the board wear off a bit before starting to use wax. I've gad no trouble with sticky snow or something similar. Thanks beforehand!
Awesome vid man these helped me a lot
Hey Kevin thanks u have helped my a lot thanks.
***** ok
***** what
My hack is just when you arrive at the first lift, i suddenly need a shit! Now i make sure i have a good clear out before i hit the mountain :D
Man I love this channel. You do a gr8 job explaining things. I'm only on my second year of riding and never took one lesson and this channel has taught me everything. I am already better than my mates who have been riding for years. Could you maybe do a vid on how to hit a rail that u have to go off the side of a jump to do. Cheers
Favorite channel on youtube
Jacob Juve Thank man!
For listening to music and being able to hear around you when you're not moving use NoisApp
Would love to see an updated version of this. All great tips. I’ve actually never waxed my board for over 8 years and wonder what a difference it would make!
Omg get that board a good new wax. Thats torture 😂
That is very thoughtful and helpful for us beginners. Thank you so much!!
Your videos are always so well done!
All of these are Right on!! I figured the hi back one out. Its a little weird and people look at me funny when I knock it down before seating. Also, I use a long piece of rope as a belt... wrapped a few times. Im sure there will be a time Ill use it to pull someone out of a tree well.
I really like this video please make more :)
the lace hack is one I learnt years ago and really works a treat
Dude thanks these are great tips
The only way you are the best you are on UA-cam 🤩
Hook a mountaineering carabiner (Snap-link) to your belt loop. It is a good place to hook your gloves and helmet if you need to take them off. That way, you won't lose them on the lift or slope when you need to remove them.
Thanks again for the videos. I've improved my riding immensely from watching!
If you ride with a leash, when you are carrying your board clip the ankle part to the opposite binding and you then have a handy over the shoulder carry strap. Prevents wax running on the cloths and possibly ripping them.
Always take a skier with you pull you along flat sections. Might as well make use of them :)
keep up the good work
+Preston Collins Thanks! I will!
pca fishi
I use my leash as a handle to carry my board by hooking it onto the other binding. It makes it so much easier to be able to carry it on my shoulder.
1. If you have earbuds that tend to fall out, put your hat completely over your ear to keep them in.
2. If you want to use your phone on the slopes but don't want to risk it getting wet and you don't have a water proof case, just but a small ziplock back over it
3. (this one is very common) If u don't like the feeling of all of your snowboard weight on one leg while your riding the lift, use your unstrapped foot to support the other half of your board.
4. If you don't own a face mask, go shaun white style and use a bandana, fold it into a triangle and rap it around your neck and tie the ends in the back. Then just cover your face with it.
I never even seen snow in my life and I like watching this video haha
I use PAM cooking spray on the top sheet of my board. Spray on, rub excess off. Keeps the snow from building up and sticking to the top of the board.
Should I Snowboard or Ski? A few friends and I are going skiing in Easter and I'm not sure which one to do? I have been skiing four times and are a fairly confident. I have been snowboarding once but that was 6 years ago, and if I do it I will be by my self; but I really want to try it again. Which should I choose?
Definately boarding
Have been skiing since I was 3 years old... Believe me boarding is sooo much more fun lol
Like what r they saying? I know many people that used to ski - but none that used to snowboard hahaha
I prefer snowboarding but how good are your friends at skiing. If they're pretty good and it's only your second time boarding maybe you should stick to skiing so you can keep up. You can also practice boarding a few times before Easter. That way you can keep up.
If I chose skiing we all will be on red and black runs. I feel if I go boarding I will be stuck on Blues. I guess I have pretty much made my decision right there haha
for bakoda rub on wax are there any other steps than just rubbing it on? such as buffing or using a cork?
Thanks for those tips. Number 9!!!! I see people having their boards falling and almost hitting someone, grabbing them and put them right up against the wall again to see it do the same again.
high back binding easy trick put your snowpant leg over the binding when you undo the binding kick for foot forward high back gose down under the straps
hey man. Great Vids and Stuff! I see the effort your putting in and its exactly how Snowboard Tutorials should be!
I suggest, do some about board maintence and waxing and detuning like, what tools you need etc =)
Simon S Thanks for tips man! So many topics to cover, but board maintenance is an important one!
Thanks man. Helpfull
PRO TIP: Put your toe strap so that they pull on your toes instead of on top on your toes. It make your board a lot more responsive.
www.snowboard-review.com/images/uploads/news/Binding_fit_no2.jpg figure number 3 is what I'm talking about.
+Bruce Wayne Won't it slide off your toe?
Janneman96 not if you have it all the way clamped down.
I might give it a try the next time I go then. Thanks.
Janneman96 I find that the board its more responsive when I did it but that's just me.
+Bruce Wayne This is the point of a toe cap. Many nowadays are being made to be either straps or caps
Good advice👍👍
I get foot soreness and i think that will really help. Thanks Kev
number 8 is such an hack! thanks xD
question: If you loosen the bottom laces (as in the vid) wouldn't the top ones loosen up over the course of the day? Or.. did you guys just exaggerate the loosening for the vid?
+Cichlid Bro Very good question and you're probably right ...that would suck.
I don't understand the people complaining about the video...it's clearly tailored for beginners.
These aren't hacks, it's fucking common sense...
Exactly what I was thinking
+mike10401 Some of them are smart but alot are common sense
mike10401 for beginners it is, fucking idiot
mike10401 you don't need to be rude
When on the lift, put one foot under the board holding it up, while the other is strapped in. Relieves pressure. (Incase you didn't know already).
best channel ever
Hydration? Use a camelback or equivalent. That way, you can drink on the lift. To keep the nipple from freezing, wear the camelback under the jacket. Your body heat will keep it thawed. When you need to drink, unzip your jacket slightly and grab the hose.
Drink a quality hydration drink. Gatorade or powerade is not quality. Buy a mix at a bicycle shop, and experiment with various products until you find what you like. I prefer Skratch Labs myself.
Don't want your board stolen? Use the ski check if the mountain offers it. If they don't, buy a cable lock. Asshole thieves will find a easier target. $20 lock is a small price compared to several hundred for board and bindings. Should be obvious, but most people don't lock their equipment
Tan N Great tips!
SnowboardProCamp I got a old Atlantis snow board for $10 and its edges are full of rust. I removed most of it but I don't know if it was worth it. Is this snowboard good?
+Jacob Weymouth Hey man, you might want to check it for any cracks or edge separation, stay safe out there
CANDY M4N
Meh, for $10 you can literally use it for anything without caring about damage, it's good for going in Rocky areas where you could damage your board, or getting pulled by car
for No"8 I have a small stereo speaker in my hood easy to hear and
it doesnt fall out on a stack plus other people hear/know where Iem
I like to use a longer leash and clip it to the other binding to make a shoulder strap for an easy carry. I felt like a genius when I thought to do it and I don't see anyone else do it...
I love your videos dude!
Simply the best!
+Antonio E Thanks Antonio!
ɷɷɷ Heeeey Frienddssss I Have Foundd Workinggg Online Hacck visittttt : - t.co/vJxeADbZmz
The boot one helps a lot
Would scuba goggle anti-fog work to stop fog? I scuba dive and I think that'd be useful since the goggles are similar.
Lovin the recess sticker. That's my home shop
snowboard hack to replace the sore feet boot hack, get boa boots very easy to adjust
thank you for telling me what hack is i did not know what it was at all before
Carry a micro fiber rag with you to wipe goggles down on the mountain.
i have been using 1 bar of wax for almost a year and a half and i go up almost every day. if you scrape the old wax off your board and rub the bar of wax on the board then iron it, it uses the bare minimum and it last just as long as if you drip waxed. and i always carry a camelback water backpack. stay hydrated!!!
This will help a lot . Going to Japan in 8 days (: thank you
I'm looking for the snowboard rub-on wax in Czechia, but mostly no luck.
If you use your shoelace for a belt, what do you tie your shoe with?
He talking about his shoelace not his bootlace and since he isn't wearing his shoes he's fine although I think most people wear their boots to the hill
Another hack is bring a smallish ocky strap that has hooks on either end for the chairlift rides, hook one end up to the heel of the bindings when the highback is down, and hook the other end of the strap to the handrail of the chair, then you can rest your foot
best way to carry a board it to attach a leash to both binding and wear it over your shoulder, bindings facing in so the edge of the board does not rub against you.
i prefer holding it on the binding behind my back , it is super comfy and you can even put a part of the binding on your shoulder so it's not even heavy at all,
idk if you get what i mean, but i prefer holding it like that :D (hard to explain)=
Freebygsy1 I put my highbacks down and grab the heel cup of my lower binding and wield that shit like a sword
OMFG SNOWBOARD HACKS!! SO USEFULL NOW I CAN FINALLY CARRY MY BOARD THAAAANKS
dude im loving that whistler-tang sticker. bc represent!
Didn't realize there was rub-on wax.. thanks for this informative vid! My feet have hurt and I discovered the reason being tight boots/bindings also :O
