You are the only person I have seen on UA-cam who has said on their channel that they do not like a snowboard product. That says a lot about your honesty. Thank you very much from Spain.
It’s strange cause I despise snowboard pro camp but he rides a lot with the guy from board archive and that guy has some great style and a commendable bag of tricks. Seems fishy that pro camp has way more followers than board archive
@Wutdafack the vast majority of people who strap on a board are not very good, that’s pro camps target audience. Board archive focuses on on reviews of high end boards that most new people wouldn’t even consider buying.
@@xe2014 haha fair point. I saw way too many Jerry’s on the mountain today. Never really thought about it like that but you’re right. The target audience for actual quality stuff is pretty small sadly
Your number #1 is spot on. I have been snowboarding since 95 and still only maintain a 2 board quiver because I have always given younger, less experienced riders my old boards. It makes a huge difference to people who can’t necessarily afford to enjoy such a high cost sport and you are not going to miss old shit!
I love your message of giving back! This sport has a high barrier to entry and I love spreading the love of snowboarding to the younger family members that find the sport financially out of reach. Keep up the great work.
As my kids keep growing I've been handing out their smaller boards/boots to get my friends and family's groms out and learning. Also, The Bombhole needs to do a pod with Avran!
Ying to the Yang. Crazy good conversation with this "Content", Avran. Last night I caught the top 5 Trends that need to die and I was a little worried that you were coming out too hard for 2022. Nice balance and great message with today's video. I bought my third year season pass at Bear Valley here in California and they are a little area that rocks. It's my third year working in a shop, as a side hustle, and your call outs (and reviews) are truthfully entertaining. After 37 years riding snowboards, I am starting to feel more like a snowboarder than a person who rides a snowboard. Keep shredded the light.
Thanks Avran for inspiring us to give back. Just gave away one of my older board/binding/boot setup to a skier who wants to learn to really shred in my university ski/board club after watching this video.
What 5 top snowboarding brands that give back to snowboarding and the 5 top snowboarding brands that are shitty for snowboarding. Absolutely love this video! Share the stoke!
love your content. I've been guilty of buy new gear before my current stuff is truly worn out, but I never thought about selling any of it. All of it has gone to friends to get them into snowboarding. Only rule is to pass the gear along to someone else who needs it. Best part of giving away gear is I've got about 10 new shred buddies who got a start on one of my clapped out boards and patched up snow pants.
I only own one board because I’ve given away every one I retired to people just getting started. The act of giving equipment/advice is invaluable to someone just getting into this sport. Much love, keep the videos coming!!
Thanks for speaking up I’m an older guy and started snowboarding because of the guys riding like Shaun Palmer, Jamie Lynn. Started watching the UA-camrs a few years ago as I was going to Whistler (I live in Australia) and they were great vids NOW it is all self promotion! There are other guys who say they are snowboarders but actually surf more and to me seem to disrespect some of there supporting companies because they won’t pay for their endless summer trips.
#4 - Vail bought out my local resort 2 years ago and it is going down hill fast. 1st year they cut the hours back right away and opened later than ever, cut the hours again this year without warning after everybody bought their pass at a discount back in November, supposed to open this Sunday. Previous owner's made much more effort at blowing snow early season to get the place rolling. Unfortunately there are no other resorts for me that are closer than 4 hours away, drove 5 hours last week just to get some riding in. As for giving back I help all my son's friends that are new to snowboarding get their boards set up show them how to tune them, give them advise on gear as well as my old gear, help them learn how to ride so they will hopefully get hooked.
Same thing with a Vail Resort in Washington. They have ~40% of their terrain open on a good day and closed down a chair the other day due to "covid exclusions", whatever the hell that means. They are half staffed and have ruined the start of what should be, a great season. #Vailfail
I not only snowboard on my channel but I also do downhill skateboarding, and I recently sent an entire box full of unused stuff to Kenya that was just hanging around. I could have sold it but I wanted the gear to go people who would apricate the gear and use it! as far as snowboarding goes, last year I bought a used snowboard for one of my friends who I knew wouldn't be able to afford it. i gave him a few lift tickets and taught him how to ride. its not something i filmed or made content on. the content i create is for the riders i film. its for them, so they can have lasting memories of our time on the mountain. some instructors only get one year and don't end up coming back due to getting big boy/girl jobs.
I love number one man.. I'm new to snowboarding 2nd season but I put in 30+ days a season. I had old Volcom gear from last season, two boards that I gave away to my friends for free to introduce them to the sport... because it's so expensive
I have an old Head Rush board from 2012 that has been in my closet for years and hasn't been touched. After watching this, I'm going to find someone who wants to start riding and just give it to them. Hopefully it'll get them hooked and that board wont be collecting dust anymore.

Thanks for the Top 5 and something to chew on. Trying to get my friends back into it. I gave a friend a new Custom and Malavitas since he has a wife and gear from 2006.
In re: to the honorable mentions on contests, that's why I thought the X-Games Real Snow video part competition was one of the best additions to the X-games in years. Sage's part was sick and I'll always appreciate some classic Motorhead'esque music vibes, but man was Backstrom's video buttery smooth from the music to the cinematography to the how effortless that dude floated on every hit.
Word, Avran. Word. I tried explaining some of the finer points to some young bucks I shared a lift with. They were asking me questions about buying their own boards since they were renting. They didn't understand that outdoor master doesn't give a fuck about snowboarding
Ask them if they would rather eat Malt-O-Meal or name brand. 9 out 10 they say they want the name brand not that shit in the bag on the bottom of the cereal aisle. That's the analogy you need to reach them.
Love this Avron and btw even thought the reminds tou tried to give me during black Friday stream I bought 4 sets 2 for me and 2 for wife so far love then keep doing what you do bro!
Just found you and I completely agree with your first topic!! I’m working on my first blog/website/community web-magazine so I’ll be watching you for sure!!
I sold my brand new in wrapper Capita Magic Carpet for 150 to a well-deserving snowboarder and gave away my old Rome Reverb to a friend last year. Cheers!
Gave a friend of mine an old jacket after his first day on the bunny hill. No one deserves a gift more than a newbie who just caught just first toe side 🥴
You used to be a strange novelty. Now you’re an important voice. Thank you for saying these things. Influencers are ruining the mountains and culture of this thing we do.
Excellent video as usual. You have inspired me and I am going to embrace the giving back and find a way to get one of my kick ass, but less utilized snowboards into deserving hands. or feet... technically. And if you ever get sick of stupid line ups and bullshit, shoot me a note and i can hook you up in kickinghorse, BC. we have been walking onto the gondola this year, loading our own boards and ripping epic powder. its been pretty good.
You should do like a gofundme through angry vip. I know I'd be willing to donate an extra 5 bucks a month if it was going to provide gear to someone who needed it.
I’ll be honest man Kevin definitely stoked me out in the beginning and helped me learn. The content has gone down hill this year and last though IMO. Still has my respect though.
Same i feel it dude. Still love the guy, but after the whole Nidecker deal it just ain't it anymore. Still subscribed to him and hoping the content improves
@@misaelcamacho4503 Agreed. I've met the dude and he is extremely nice and genuine, but I'm not about the lifestyle blog stuff anymore. He's a guy who snowboards as an intermediate rider at best, which is totally fine, but I don't really know...why this style of video exists
@@marvinmartinez985 Yeah for sure but he also gives advice that is horrible for newbies...ducking ropes to get pow stashes in areas that are roped off for a reason. Could be really awful for a new rider to try and do that and then get stuck. Obviously he wouldn't be responsible. but it's not a GREAT look.
@@dr.revenue3636 that’s called personal responsibility, his job lies somewhere between making entertaining and educational content. If that’s all you’ve got you’re just looking for an excuse to be an asshole.
Just got my hands on a new Berzerker... i will follow Mr Angry's recommendation and give my old Nitro to some kid... maybe i will save the soul of a doomed skier... by the way... questionfor Mr BootFitter... any insole brand you'd recommend.
Couldn't agree more! Bringing in the new year by practicing what you preach! 100 plus days of making turns or consider yourself "someone who can snowboard." The world needs hcore fueled by passion and the drive to share the stoke.
Loved the video man! I gotta say this video actually made me subscribe.. Didnt enjoy your attitude before but i get it now and i respect it. And thanks for actually giving me the push to unscubscribe to kevins channel. As a few guys mentioned in the other comments, please make a video about the companies that give back to snowboarding and the companies that dont, continue educating.
All valid but why hate on influencers bro? They actually put up riding content all year round which I appreciate. As I've progressed my riding and learned more about the culture I can recognize that there are levels of greatness but I still appreciate them for being mediocre riders who are still waaaay better than me sharing their knowledge and experiences. How is that not a form of giving back? Being a pro isn't only about reaching the pinnacle of a profession or making yourself part of the spin cycle contest circuit right? They just get in where they fit in. You're an important piece of it all so please keep doing your thing. Its just that tearing down other people's success is pretty shitty on the human scale IMHO.
Cause they fucking suck! Their knowledge base is non existent, they shill shit products to people like you that don’t know better, they make videos showing people how to get to terrain they shouldn’t be in causing problems down the road, they give horrible riding advice because they sick which causes more people to ride like shit. They aren’t pro and never will be but labeling yourself that or an expert when all you have is a fake it till you make it hustle mentality is awful. They are a cancer and if you can’t see that then you are sick with the disease.
Thanks for the insights bro. I love everything about snowboarding, self-righteous haters included. People like me (who I guess you're either trying to protect or repell from your sanctuary) are just happy to see other folks ride because we don't have access. If more REAL snowboarders shared daily content they'd get REAL support. BTW I can't wait to see more content from you this year showing us how technically gifted you are and offering the finer points to make us into 'real' snowboarders. What ever happened to 'ask a black snowboarder'? Pretty sure he was the last person I saw strapped in on your channel. Keep being shitty though. It's a major part of your appeal and there are plenty of likeminded cats who need that energy to validate themselves.
Aww is someone upset that someone sees through the shitty people they idolize? The only shitty person here is you because you feel so compelled to protect fucktards that can't get off blue terrain.
@@AngrySnowboarderThe thing is I still follow your channel too so maybe I'm just a whore for snowboarding content. I agree with most of what you said...just think you're extra green gooey shitty about other UA-camrs like you ain't part of the hustle, selling us stickers and your opinions on products too. Every game needs a alternative opinions. Looking forward to all that super stoked content you're about to drop bro. A nice idea on how YOU can give back...find a young promising rider that needs a filmer and a platform. If he has a stank vibe that would suit, but it would also be ironically cool if he was super optimistic and carefree.
Are you a flat earther? Do you believe whatever Kennedy is coming back from the grave to lead the GOP? Are we living in a simulation? Was the moon landing staged? That's what their opinion is when you put it up against anyone that's lived, worked, breathed the snowboard industry/culture. Why is it no real companies want to work with most of them? But I can make a phone call and they're down with whatever idea I throw at them? Everyone says I'm jealous of them, but the funny thing is I'm not. I have no issue with them figuring out how to get paid to snowboard and build some audience. Awesome good job for you that you stumbled into something you love. What I have an issue with is the fact that that they don't give back, they give horrible advice that at some point is going to get someone killed I'm honestly waiting for that day so I can say "I told you so", they don't know the history of snowboarding and refuse to learn it, and they just want to keep taking. If you paid closer attention it's very much "look at me" and all about them, vs look at you, look at this, look at what "we" as a culture are doing. You want to argue that I "don't show my riding". OK when you go into a snowboard shop do you just walk up to the sales guy and say "I need to see a video of you riding product x". No you don't. That's like going to a car dealership and telling the sales guy I need to stand here and watch you drive the car I want. It's a vanity move to put in your riding as it doesn't say shit about how the board truly functions. Hell watch Grand Tour most of the time when they're driving a super car around you see it in a straight away, a down shift up close in a turn, the engine revs, and then they show it going out of a turn and cut back to the presenter. Does that do anything to you to want to buy that car? No. No ones forcing you to be here or even stay here. I don't care if you leave. But if you're going to try and argue maybe you need to get some better facts and points because they're about as weak as Kevins legs buckling on another knuckled jump.
I like trying to support pros but how do we do that other than watching movies and events? I ask because part of the reason certain…. ‘Creators’ do so well is because they shill a million things. Most pros don’t have their own brands like that
So the best way to do it is support the products they ride even if it's not a promodel. Obviously watch and share their video projects. Leave comments on their instagram, etc. etc.
If a Vail Resorts mountain is someone's only option they can bring their own food and drinks and get their gear tuned up elsewhere to stick it to them. Sure they get the pass money, but then only be a drain on their resources from there
What's your take on Trew gear? I only want to support those who support snowboarding, I don't know much about this company and would appreciate your input.. thanks 🙏
100% agree on the corporate bullshit. I've been riding Stevens Pass for over 20 years. But Vail f-cked it up so badly, I'm going to buy a pass at locally owned White Pass next season. The terrain isn't as good, but F*CK VAIL. Giving back is huge.
So I guess I didn't even realize that I was giving back to the sport. Seriously I did this accidentally. It all started with an old long border that I knew that when I was struggling to get my first longboard together he gave me a set of wheels and a pair of bearings. Because he did that every time I tell somebody about how cool longboarding is and they want to get a set up together if I have any spare parts or something I'm simply looking to upgrade I give the older but still good stuff to them. In a related note last year I gave away a perfectly good libtech DIY series bored to one of my friends who had a mid-90s Solomon that was an absolute piece of crap. I'm going to continue to pass on the tradition to everybody that I teach. And by doing that I am supporting both a longboard and Snowboard community.
i get so many instagram goggle companies messaging me asking me to make a video reviewing their goggles and they try to say they will give me a 20 percent commission for whatever is sold and yada yada and im like '' no. i dont need people trying to fry their eye balls'' or just dont reply. even thought about screenshotting and posting all these amazon sketchy goggle companies hitting me up and put them on blast
@@AngrySnowboarder I even made one headlight bulb video and all these Amazon headlight bulbs started messaging me to make a video or review them. I’m like heck no I only review legit products and even the best of the best I’ll still mention negatives and cons and honest thoughts
@@AngrySnowboarder you’re the main reason I dropped my 25 dollar Amazon goggles 2 years ago ( the company doesn’t even exist anymore. Go figure haha) and decided to buy another pair of Oakley prisms
IMO Casey is a good one to watch. His vids are more blog style instead of “tutorial based”, he gives back to the community and his watchers very often, will give honest opinions, and focuses a lot on showing the snowboarding life and community in his vids. I think he can seem like a weirdo sometimes and a little much lmao but after watching for a bit you can tell that he really cares about snowboarding and that he’s not in it for the money
Fairly new to snowboarding but, I come from a skating background and am interested in snowboarding history/culture. That being said what are your top 5 snowboarding videos/sections? I tried searching for a top 5 on the subject in your videos but, couldn't find anything. When I was a kid watching VHS tapes of the pro skaters at that time was what first helped me wrap my head around the idea of it being a lifestyle as opposed to being some idiot kid at the skatepark wearing Zumiez clothes that gets in everyone's way.
Kevin Jones Stand and Deliver part but also watch the whole movie. Watch True Life, Back in Black, Whiskey 1 and 2, Roadkill, If you can find them the old Dangerzone Vlogs I don't think they're up on Vimeo anymore but they might be out there, Videograss, and I'm sure there's more I could talk about.
Also swing over to The Bomb Hole and check out some of their interviews like the latest with Kevin Jones, but also Russell Winfield, Jeremy Jones, and Todd Richards.
Also, scotty Stevens had a day in the life video with 32 recently which he goes through some of his vhs collection, might be worth a watch to add more to your watchlist
Thirtytwo’s spot check series is a fun little series you should check out too, bear’s Sunday in the park, cole navin’s living room, stale sandbech’s UA-cam channel
I love the ideas of gifting others, but what if someone who doesn’t deserve it finds one of your gifts? There are a lot of douches at resorts, willing to take, without considering the groms who could use it more
Was thinking about offering to give a beginner or two a few pointers on the hill, maybe through the local Facebook group. Because fuck the price of lessons. I'm guessing if I don't charge anything I'll be alright? In canadia, not the US, if that makes any odds
This is why Knuckle Huck is such an amazing event. So much creativity and style. It's so much better then a guy spinning 70 times in the air.

Word, Avran. Word. I tried explaining some of the finer points to some young bucks I shared a lift with. They were asking me questions about buying their own boards since they were renting. They didn't understand that outdoor master doesn't give a fuck about snowboarding
Ask them if they would rather eat Malt-O-Meal or name brand. 9 out 10 they say they want the name brand not that shit in the bag on the bottom of the cereal aisle. That's the analogy you need to reach them.
Love this video. It says a lot about your attitude towards others and snowboarding. Keep it up mate. If our paths ever cross, beers are on me.
Love this Avron and btw even thought the reminds tou tried to give me during black Friday stream I bought 4 sets 2 for me and 2 for wife so far love then keep doing what you do bro!
Just found you and I completely agree with your first topic!! I’m working on my first blog/website/community web-magazine so I’ll be watching you for sure!!
Good luck and be authentic. Best advice I can give you. Also be prepared to take some shit from everyone.
WORD!!
And greetings from Finland.
I sold my brand new in wrapper Capita Magic Carpet for 150 to a well-deserving snowboarder and gave away my old Rome Reverb to a friend last year. Cheers!
Could you do more content on the history of snowboarding and who you think people worth following and supporting are?
Gave a friend of mine an old jacket after his first day on the bunny hill. No one deserves a gift more than a newbie who just caught just first toe side 🥴
That harsh scorpions sting was lessened that day with that gift.
You used to be a strange novelty. Now you’re an important voice. Thank you for saying these things. Influencers are ruining the mountains and culture of this thing we do.
Excellent video as usual. You have inspired me and I am going to embrace the giving back and find a way to get one of my kick ass, but less utilized snowboards into deserving hands. or feet... technically. And if you ever get sick of stupid line ups and bullshit, shoot me a note and i can hook you up in kickinghorse, BC. we have been walking onto the gondola this year, loading our own boards and ripping epic powder. its been pretty good.
Oh I don't wait in line because I made good choices. But thanks for the offer.
GREAT top 5. Well said
You should do like a gofundme through angry vip. I know I'd be willing to donate an extra 5 bucks a month if it was going to provide gear to someone who needed it.
I’ll be honest man Kevin definitely stoked me out in the beginning and helped me learn. The content has gone down hill this year and last though IMO. Still has my respect though.
Same i feel it dude. Still love the guy, but after the whole Nidecker deal it just ain't it anymore. Still subscribed to him and hoping the content improves
@@misaelcamacho4503 Agreed. I've met the dude and he is extremely nice and genuine, but I'm not about the lifestyle blog stuff anymore. He's a guy who snowboards as an intermediate rider at best, which is totally fine, but I don't really know...why this style of video exists
Same this guy is totally off the mark on his take on him. Kevin has got great content for newbies.
@@marvinmartinez985 Yeah for sure but he also gives advice that is horrible for newbies...ducking ropes to get pow stashes in areas that are roped off for a reason. Could be really awful for a new rider to try and do that and then get stuck. Obviously he wouldn't be responsible. but it's not a GREAT look.
@@dr.revenue3636 that’s called personal responsibility, his job lies somewhere between making entertaining and educational content. If that’s all you’ve got you’re just looking for an excuse to be an asshole.
+1: manufacture bindings with silenced pigs on the highback
Thank you for this great video!
Preach.
Just got my hands on a new Berzerker... i will follow Mr Angry's recommendation and give my old Nitro to some kid... maybe i will save the soul of a doomed skier... by the way... questionfor Mr BootFitter... any insole brand you'd recommend.
I'm a Remind fan but Shred Soles and DFP are solid.
Love number 1 challenge accepted
Lots of valid points made....
Wow. You're the dude. Thanks for this. Hope to catch you at one of the resorts this season.
Once Omicron works it's way through Summit County I'll be scheduling meet ups to shred.
Hats down Angry!
Couldn't agree more! Bringing in the new year by practicing what you preach! 100 plus days of making turns or consider yourself "someone who can snowboard." The world needs hcore fueled by passion and the drive to share the stoke.
Loved the video man! I gotta say this video actually made me subscribe.. Didnt enjoy your attitude before but i get it now and i respect it. And thanks for actually giving me the push to unscubscribe to kevins channel. As a few guys mentioned in the other comments, please make a video about the companies that give back to snowboarding and the companies that dont, continue educating.
Fuck yeah Avryn! I don't know what else to say.. just, fuck yeah. Hit the nail on the head on every point.
You are the only snowboarder I follow online, can we be friends irl now?
I don't have friends.
I owe snowboarding my life.
I love this.
Same. After struggling with a lot of substance abuse, snowboarding has become my life and I’ll choose it every time. I owe it everything.
@@jakemuir8364 Stay up dude! You got this.
Man Dragggggggggged Buckhouse....I AM LEGIT DYING BAHAHA
SBPC = DRAGGGGGGED LAMOOO!!
All valid but why hate on influencers bro? They actually put up riding content all year round which I appreciate. As I've progressed my riding and learned more about the culture I can recognize that there are levels of greatness but I still appreciate them for being mediocre riders who are still waaaay better than me sharing their knowledge and experiences. How is that not a form of giving back? Being a pro isn't only about reaching the pinnacle of a profession or making yourself part of the spin cycle contest circuit right? They just get in where they fit in. You're an important piece of it all so please keep doing your thing. Its just that tearing down other people's success is pretty shitty on the human scale IMHO.
Cause they fucking suck! Their knowledge base is non existent, they shill shit products to people like you that don’t know better, they make videos showing people how to get to terrain they shouldn’t be in causing problems down the road, they give horrible riding advice because they sick which causes more people to ride like shit. They aren’t pro and never will be but labeling yourself that or an expert when all you have is a fake it till you make it hustle mentality is awful. They are a cancer and if you can’t see that then you are sick with the disease.
Thanks for the insights bro. I love everything about snowboarding, self-righteous haters included. People like me (who I guess you're either trying to protect or repell from your sanctuary) are just happy to see other folks ride because we don't have access. If more REAL snowboarders shared daily content they'd get REAL support. BTW I can't wait to see more content from you this year showing us how technically gifted you are and offering the finer points to make us into 'real' snowboarders. What ever happened to 'ask a black snowboarder'? Pretty sure he was the last person I saw strapped in on your channel. Keep being shitty though. It's a major part of your appeal and there are plenty of likeminded cats who need that energy to validate themselves.
Aww is someone upset that someone sees through the shitty people they idolize? The only shitty person here is you because you feel so compelled to protect fucktards that can't get off blue terrain.
@@AngrySnowboarderThe thing is I still follow your channel too so maybe I'm just a whore for snowboarding content. I agree with most of what you said...just think you're extra green gooey shitty about other UA-camrs like you ain't part of the hustle, selling us stickers and your opinions on products too. Every game needs a alternative opinions. Looking forward to all that super stoked content you're about to drop bro. A nice idea on how YOU can give back...find a young promising rider that needs a filmer and a platform. If he has a stank vibe that would suit, but it would also be ironically cool if he was super optimistic and carefree.
Are you a flat earther? Do you believe whatever Kennedy is coming back from the grave to lead the GOP? Are we living in a simulation? Was the moon landing staged? That's what their opinion is when you put it up against anyone that's lived, worked, breathed the snowboard industry/culture. Why is it no real companies want to work with most of them? But I can make a phone call and they're down with whatever idea I throw at them?
Everyone says I'm jealous of them, but the funny thing is I'm not. I have no issue with them figuring out how to get paid to snowboard and build some audience. Awesome good job for you that you stumbled into something you love. What I have an issue with is the fact that that they don't give back, they give horrible advice that at some point is going to get someone killed I'm honestly waiting for that day so I can say "I told you so", they don't know the history of snowboarding and refuse to learn it, and they just want to keep taking. If you paid closer attention it's very much "look at me" and all about them, vs look at you, look at this, look at what "we" as a culture are doing.
You want to argue that I "don't show my riding". OK when you go into a snowboard shop do you just walk up to the sales guy and say "I need to see a video of you riding product x". No you don't. That's like going to a car dealership and telling the sales guy I need to stand here and watch you drive the car I want. It's a vanity move to put in your riding as it doesn't say shit about how the board truly functions. Hell watch Grand Tour most of the time when they're driving a super car around you see it in a straight away, a down shift up close in a turn, the engine revs, and then they show it going out of a turn and cut back to the presenter. Does that do anything to you to want to buy that car? No.
No ones forcing you to be here or even stay here. I don't care if you leave. But if you're going to try and argue maybe you need to get some better facts and points because they're about as weak as Kevins legs buckling on another knuckled jump.
Ledgend bro ! Well said
Vail bought half of Australia and its fucked
Support your local snowboard/skate shops!
hell yeah, i sold my gnu DK vertigo with freestyles for 50 bucks just to get a rando in the game.
I like trying to support pros but how do we do that other than watching movies and events? I ask because part of the reason certain…. ‘Creators’ do so well is because they shill a million things. Most pros don’t have their own brands like that
And this is a real comment because I think ur 100% right but not sure how that actually looks in real life
So the best way to do it is support the products they ride even if it's not a promodel. Obviously watch and share their video projects. Leave comments on their instagram, etc. etc.
Like the dudes on Rome? Buy Rome product.
Love it!
Well said! 👏
I have an idea to give back to snowboarding and strengthen the community Angry
Then do it.
Yo im new to snowboarding so who are some good non poser youtubers that i should follow
Make top5 channels to watch about snowboarding, also tell us about history)
If a Vail Resorts mountain is someone's only option they can bring their own food and drinks and get their gear tuned up elsewhere to stick it to them. Sure they get the pass money, but then only be a drain on their resources from there
What's your take on Trew gear? I only want to support those who support snowboarding, I don't know much about this company and would appreciate your input.. thanks 🙏
It's a high end technical outerwear company or at least was, haven't really paid attention to their shit in years.
I would take a stylized 360 or 540 over a triple cab any day.
You the man!
Shots! Fired!!
100% agree on the corporate bullshit. I've been riding Stevens Pass for over 20 years. But Vail f-cked it up so badly, I'm going to buy a pass at locally owned White Pass next season. The terrain isn't as good, but F*CK VAIL. Giving back is huge.
Is it wrong to want that pink binding, just because of the color?
So I guess I didn't even realize that I was giving back to the sport. Seriously I did this accidentally. It all started with an old long border that I knew that when I was struggling to get my first longboard together he gave me a set of wheels and a pair of bearings. Because he did that every time I tell somebody about how cool longboarding is and they want to get a set up together if I have any spare parts or something I'm simply looking to upgrade I give the older but still good stuff to them. In a related note last year I gave away a perfectly good libtech DIY series bored to one of my friends who had a mid-90s Solomon that was an absolute piece of crap. I'm going to continue to pass on the tradition to everybody that I teach. And by doing that I am supporting both a longboard and Snowboard community.
i get so many instagram goggle companies messaging me asking me to make a video reviewing their goggles and they try to say they will give me a 20 percent commission for whatever is sold and yada yada and im like '' no. i dont need people trying to fry their eye balls'' or just dont reply. even thought about screenshotting and posting all these amazon sketchy goggle companies hitting me up and put them on blast
You should.
@@AngrySnowboarder I even made one headlight bulb video and all these Amazon headlight bulbs started messaging me to make a video or review them. I’m like heck no I only review legit products and even the best of the best I’ll still mention negatives and cons and honest thoughts
@@PhaseSkater As it should be.
@@AngrySnowboarder you’re the main reason I dropped my 25 dollar Amazon goggles 2 years ago ( the company doesn’t even exist anymore. Go figure haha) and decided to buy another pair of Oakley prisms
Truth
ooooh please leave a treasure at Wolf Creek in Pagosa Springs CO.
are there any other snowboarders on youtube worth paying attention to?
i like casey willax alot
Stale sandbech
Marcus Cleveland
Bump Casey Willax.
IMO Casey is a good one to watch. His vids are more blog style instead of “tutorial based”, he gives back to the community and his watchers very often, will give honest opinions, and focuses a lot on showing the snowboarding life and community in his vids. I think he can seem like a weirdo sometimes and a little much lmao but after watching for a bit you can tell that he really cares about snowboarding and that he’s not in it for the money
Fairly new to snowboarding but, I come from a skating background and am interested in snowboarding history/culture. That being said what are your top 5 snowboarding videos/sections? I tried searching for a top 5 on the subject in your videos but, couldn't find anything. When I was a kid watching VHS tapes of the pro skaters at that time was what first helped me wrap my head around the idea of it being a lifestyle as opposed to being some idiot kid at the skatepark wearing Zumiez clothes that gets in everyone's way.
Kevin Jones Stand and Deliver part but also watch the whole movie. Watch True Life, Back in Black, Whiskey 1 and 2, Roadkill, If you can find them the old Dangerzone Vlogs I don't think they're up on Vimeo anymore but they might be out there, Videograss, and I'm sure there's more I could talk about.
@@AngrySnowboarder Awesome! Appreciate the reply
Also swing over to The Bomb Hole and check out some of their interviews like the latest with Kevin Jones, but also Russell Winfield, Jeremy Jones, and Todd Richards.
Also, scotty Stevens had a day in the life video with 32 recently which he goes through some of his vhs collection, might be worth a watch to add more to your watchlist
Thirtytwo’s spot check series is a fun little series you should check out too, bear’s Sunday in the park, cole navin’s living room, stale sandbech’s UA-cam channel
Vail bought my local hill in Washington. If they could give it back, that would be great. I give free lessons and tips if people are willing.
Vails going to destroy Stevens Pass further. Prepare yourself.
@@AngrySnowboarder I’m ready to move
Normalize telling tourists to go to the other side of the mountain to get "the good powder" lol
That already is normalized.
What’s the name of the foundation you mention sometimes that gets kids on boards?
Shred Foundation. www.shredfoundation.org
🤙🤙
I love the ideas of gifting others, but what if someone who doesn’t deserve it finds one of your gifts? There are a lot of douches at resorts, willing to take, without considering the groms who could use it more
Price I pay to play. I can either live in fear of what if scenarios or I can just go and do something.
You're the shit, keep it up
Was thinking about offering to give a beginner or two a few pointers on the hill, maybe through the local Facebook group.
Because fuck the price of lessons. I'm guessing if I don't charge anything I'll be alright? In canadia, not the US, if that makes any odds
Depends on the resort and what not. If they view it as competition they get real angry.
Yeah, guess it might not be worth risking my season pass. Or worth risking having to read the fine print on the pass.
Whats up with those soles? What brand? I bought the linerless vans but theyre a little loose, i wonder if the insole will help
Shred Soles.
