Are u at keystone tommorow?
:)
I used a rental for the first 10 times I went snowboarding but getting your own board is so much better in all perspectives.
Same bro I remember even I was. 8 and I would get rentals and I think after a year I got my own and it was such a big dif
@@Jamal360 is snow your last name?
so true especially those crappy jc binders you get here
Facts at my local resort the rentals are doodoo and i got my own board after two trips to the mountain
Yooo
what greatly increased my confidence and ability in riding was getting my own board. its a huge difference
Had a binding break on me this week so I got a rental. I haven't been on one in a while, people always complain. Why? I was still able to have a blast. Glad to be outside for the day. Worry less about your gear, have fun with your friends.
This is true!
This is a great example that kit only gets you so far and even then only when you know what you’re doing. This dude can ride anything well.
Thank you! Stoked you enjoyed
Used a rental board for the first time in 15 years yesterday…the flex on it was like 3! Never ridden a board that flexible but I immediately loved how versatile and easy it was to do all the tricks I love with less of a stiff board
I remember my first rental experience in 2002, the board had ancient step-on bindings and it was so stiff and heavy it felt like i was riding a tailgate off the back of a pickup truck
It’s nice to see your channel growing. Keep up the great work. I remember meeting you years ago when I used to work for Vail Resorts in Keystone and you told me about the channel. I’ve been a subscriber ever since.
Let's gooooo
i've been wanting to learn how to snowboard because i live in canada and just so i dont get left out on friend activities. one day i searched up, "how to snowboard" and you were the first one to pop up, your videos teach me more every time i watch them. i'm gonna buy my own snowboard soon after writing this comment.
those rental boards are pretty awesome. When i tried to rent at the very beginning of my snowboard journey they always only had regular camber boards, no "entry level" or levels at all. Also the boots were super old and even tho they were technically my size, there was no one to help me check if they actually fit by telling me what they were supposed to feel like, and i ended up having zero heel hold and having to push down on my toes until they were basically numb on my toe turns, instead of being able to lean into my boots.. So own boots was the first thing i got and it was a literal game changer. I guess the boards would've been alright after the very beginning, but i then decided i wanted a board hat would allow me to progress a little quicker and just be able to know exactly what i'm working with. I felt like rentals were always a bit of a... surprise. You never knew what you would end up with exactly.
Thankfully i ended up getting my first board and bindings on sale, so i didn't have to invest alot of money and was able to get a camber board with stiffer flex once i felt more comfortable. I haven't had the heart to sell that first board yet. I keep hoping that maybe one day i'll get to teach someone my size how to snowboard and then i can just lend them that board and know they'll have good fun with it...
One time , my friend told me he went snowboarding and I wanted to go too , so I looked up snowboard tutorial , got to your channel , and watched every single one , and on my last ride , knew how to snowboard and it was awesome but I tried showing off and I did a scorpion
No such thing as "showing off" in snowboarding. It's all part of the sport! If you don't show off you'll be doing the same thing every time
Heck yeah!! Big Week - Dylan Sitts. You used to use this song in a couple videos of the TAJ backyard during the first covid lockdown.
Keep up the good work! Your videos are awesome and fun to watch. Can't wait to run into you at Keystone or Breck sometime.
I’ve been riding a flat camber snowboard from learning my first turns to hitting big jumps and it feels fine
I rented the first two times then went and got my own board. I found it harder at first, but as soon as I got used to the camber, it ripped way better. Good video!
I rented a snowboard about 2 times before I bought my own. I’d recommend it as you aren’t going to know if you like it or even what you want or what is good and what isn’t if you’ve never rode before. It’s a huge investment but worth it if you aren’t growing out of it in a season and riding it enough.
I don’t have as much of a problem with rental board as rental boots. A good pair of boots for a snowboarder is like a magic wand for a wizard.
100% they are the most important peace of gear.
This is a sturdy toy snowboard for backyard or neighborhood sled hill use. We did not have issues with friction as one reviewer mentioned. I can see how it may delaminate over time, but so far so good.
😂
Hey man! My family and I are in keystone this week! I'm learning to snowboard and rented from Christy in Dillon. Hope to see you out there sometime!
Your riding and Videos are insane! And really big probs to your cameraman cody
i honestly dont mind renting my ski's but i did make a point out buying my own shoes as its quite important to get those tailored to your feet well. it doesnt matter as much if the board/skis you rent are a bit less quality as long as you get the transference from your body though the boots onto the plank well at least technique will make up for the fact you are riding a old board or on old ski's. i can imagine at higher level you would want both for yourself. as with skis/board you carve though the snow. and just like a chef you want your own knife to cut and carve :)
Just rented from Christy's in Denver. Certainly didn't get a rental as nice as he has. Got a beat up Rossignol with plastic caps on the edges.
That’s what happens when the shot you testing is your sponsor lol he was never gonna get a board the public gets lol
@@noahshields507 No doubt!
Wasup johnathan. I'm the wolf creek guy! I've commented on every video for the past couple of days, we are going to Wolf Creek in a week! Love the videos man!
Without going into bashing about rental boards: one can only wonder how customers can be so successful on such a non productive ride no matter what company put them out. Plus now that the stance width is no longer adjustable on the new ones being shipped to the shops with predetermined inserts. This will cause many problems for people in the area of a workable stance width!
Renting is good if you are unsure you are into the sport - so, 2-3 times. After that, buy used gear until you are good enough and go often enough to justify buying new. Once you know how the gear will impact your experience, that's when you can buy new or specialized stuff. Otherwise, it all gets you down the hill about the same. I was initially excited about seasonal rental, and for some, that still makes sense. However, buying used is about the same cost (perhaps slightly more) as renting for the season.
💯
I think I saw you at keystone last year because I remember seeing someone with your sticker and thinking it was cool. And now I'm coming across your channel.
I keep on getting out on my board, I know I’m improving, and I have a great time when I go ( although it’s more fun to ride with people, but I know I can’t keep up ) and even in todays crappy conditions ( sticky snow ) I still had a great time, although I wish I didn’t accidentally end up in a huge field of moguls to start my day
Getting into snowbaording I love your videos
Do you have any newbie board set up videos though. Like we can’t determine if my wife’s bindings are having her boots in the wrong spot(possibly too much heel side )
Keep rocking
you got one of the best looking rental boards i have ever seen
I will always remember my first board, it really was a true gem
I literallty went to Keystone 2 days ago and rented this exact same board! So crazy
shredded that rental. surprised it lasted! heeeeeeeeavy!
i’m finally getting my own board in a couple months. i didn’t get my own for a while due to being a beginner and still growing.
That’s exactly the way to do it!
any tips on how to turn on like all sides? I'm a goofy and I'm having trouble riding when my left foot is in the front and it's weird and kinda hard to turn left.
I’ve rented from 8-15 and got the 2022 freethinker this year and the difference is crazy
That bord is sick
Have to say Christie in Lakewood really took care of me Thursday. I was sick of the boots I've had for two seasons that have speed laces getting loose after two runs and causing hella hell lift. Walk in and the lady there (look for Allison) put me in the foot sizer and immediately said my foot shape is a K2. First boot she put me in (the Maysis) we're about the best my foot has felt in a new boot. Not saying it was perfect, I think my mid foot is really tall so any boot feels like it's squishing that hard until the liner is molded (still might go back and get it heat molded). Ended up putting my old liner in there today for riding at abay and it was nuts how responsive my board was with boots that completely stop hell lift and they were so comfy. Long story short though even though this is only my second time shopping for a new boot this is night and day compared to last time when I went to three different stores and they just kept throwing random boots at me hoping one would fit my feet.
I was there today I went to christy sports
That looks like the board I need to practice butters with 😂
That rental looks much better than the rentals over here on the east coast . It’s at least a burton
🤣😂🤣 Christy Sports has the good decks
It really all depends on what the boards you rental shop uses are, the rental shop at the hill i work at uses elan snowboards that are much stiffer than this one again with light camber. That one looked a little too flex for a beginner even, if its to flexible you don’t get the same foot control forgiveness if you shift your weight the wrong way. If its to flexible one foot can lift making a shorter contact patch making it easier to spin out of control if you don’t have great balance yet.
Hey johnathan,i am looking to buy the khuno goggles you have i'm a teenager do you think they would be too big for me?thank you
Used the exact board at Steamboat. 5 days boarding as newbie. I was connecting turns and hitting a little terrain park by the green. Loved hitting the drop ins....ate plenty of $h!t. Cant go very fast yet. Toe edge is my strength. Heelside I dont go very straight. I think its weight distribution.
What's your go-to position for the bindings? Ive heard 12 degrees? My rental was set at 9
Very good question ive been wondering this
Lol
Is the code still active for Christy sports? Heading out to keystone next month super stoked wanna try a demo board out. Love the vids mans
I’ve never been on or seen a rental board that flexible before i’ll never do a rental board demo professional boards for about 10$ more!
Granted this video is biased considering he’s ripping his sponsors board… rentals are usually not terrible, at least at the places I’ve been. Living in the southeast I only get to go about once a year and have never owned a board. Rentals have gotten me all the way from the bunny slopes to the terrain park and even held up in the deeps and chutes of the bowls I’ve had the opportunity to shred. I recommend getting a performance package (if there’s one available) if you ride anything other than groomers. So no rentals will not stunt your progression as a snowboarder
Yoooo, what is that jacket called, it’s dope!
Wish rental bindings were actually that fresh
Right
I been renting a K2 standard size 150 . I’m looking at buying my first board which do you recommend. The K2 Raygun Pop or the Nitro T1
I haven’t road ether of those boards but I like a flat profile for beginners/intermediate riders so like the K2 world wide weapon
Favorite runs at keystone?
The burton LTR's are like a flex 2/10. They butter really good, but don't hold edge well for carving. Minimal damping and they chatter horribly. They also have extruded bases, so they're not fast.
U guys should go to Stratton next season
The rentals by me are massive heavy clunky 90s boards with plastic guards and broken bindings lol
Hey guys im new to snowboarding only been twice and didnt want to rent anymore. Im buying one and dont know if i should go with a camber or flying v. I have pretty decent balance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I would go for either a flat or a purepop Camber profile board if you are going for a Burton boards and are a beginner. With flying v you learn "Bad Habits" when learning to use your edges.
We just spent 3 days at copper, I ski because I don’t know how to snowboard and I barely know how to ski at this point. At 32 years old I want to learn how to snowboard to be able to keep up with my (15) year old who can rip, lessons or just go out there and figure it out? Wrist guards for newbies?
I'd recommend the Dakine gloves with integrated wristguards. You need to wear gloves anyway, and the wristguards don't really get in the way (after 15 minutes I forgot I was wearing them). You'll probably fall a lot, most people do, and it's nice to not have to worry as much about your wrists.
Some resorts even offer performance snowboards for just a few bucks more
Lol of course that’s a good rental though, it’s a burton. You gotta try a rental at a place that has like off brand boards lol like mount pocono , Jack Frost mountain lol
ayo the filmer needs a raise bro
I’m going snowboarding next year and I don’t know if I should rent or buy i’m snowboarding for the first time
For your first time just rent one. If you like the sport and keep going more. Than buy
@@JohnathanBuckhouse ok will probably easier to rent for the first time anyway
That’s what I would rate my rental. ;)
when ever ur in germany u have 2 check out theyre rental gear its unbeliveable you will have problems getting the same shoe twice
With how expensive it is to rent equipment, if you plan on going more than 5 times a season, your better off just buying your own gear.
I agree
@@JohnathanBuckhouse I bit the bullet this year, got myself a K2 World Peace, some Vans Invado OGs, and the Union Stratas. Expensive, but worth it. Are you ever been to Blue Mountain here in Ontario?
@@jonathonmcrae5671 went there last week. I was on a rental for 3 days (planned for 5 but had some complications) it was my second trip ever, and this trip convinced me to buy my own board and setup. It would have cost 500 dollars for the 5 days which is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering the age and quality of the rental gear. I'll be shopping for gear if there's a sale before the next time I go on a trip.
Jo how do i send it? like i just wanna do some tricks but im so scared of hurting myself pls help
Buy some protective gear. You’ll feel more confident
The next trip I take im going to rent a snowboard for the first time!
I don't like snow trails rental boards, please try one when you come
I work in a rental shop and we’ll take out boards just for fun and rip em!
“Professionally “
Hey , do you like .. sit down whenever your legs start losing energy?
Because I do , and I do it often , and I thing I need to train my legs , but idk
It's better to sit down a little than to damage yourself!
I just got my snow board waxed and that stuff
I’ll demo boards all day renting a board dif story
what’s the jacket
That's hilarious
You are a professional lol???
Huh
@@JohnathanBuckhouse Your thumbnail says professionally tested. To me, that insinuates that you are claiming to have “professionally” tested it. Professional to me means that your getting paid to ride. That may be the case, however, you are another dude on UA-cam putting out poor content. If your gonna hit the steep, hit it. And stop pushing your second rate goggles (yes I am a professional). I professionally tested your goggles and they’re trash. I’ll put my 10 years of experience in ophthalmology into that claim.
You gotta pay for premium rental if you want it to not suck.
Hey
I broke a rental snowboard doing tricks hard on it very bad idea kids don’t get any ideas.
Turkey
We’re is keystone resort
Colorado
@@JohnathanBuckhouse oh
I thought he was never skiing here again?
I feel. When I have money to explain edges I’ll become famous
"professionally tested" lmao that is rich.
"Professionally Tested"
...Stop the CAP! I don't like hating, but don't enjoy the continued misrepresentation. We need more honesty in the world and less clickbait.
X
Them rentals are ass the ones u wanna get if u do rent or the demo ones
💯
You should probably learn how to properly use a splitboard before you self proclaim yourself as a “professional” 🤣
🤣😂🤣😂
No do it on a 💩 head brand snowboard
You are the farthest thing from professional
There was no need for this comment
Well technically.... You are a professional if you make money off it, and since he makes UA-cam he kinda is paid for snowboarding🤔
@@cervidaae6308 right he is technically plus It just wasn’t needed
@@cervidaae6308 my question is what’s the hate for like tf😂 pointless as comment
Yeah he's "technically" a professional since he makes money from snowboarding, but yeah- he's certainly not a pro in any "pre-UA-cam era" sense of the word. Definitely never could've earned a dime before UA-cam was a thing.
Why the big goggle? It’s hideous
