Man those XLs look massive, especially when you’re just about to hit it and are looking up at it, and it’s rushing towards you. I have to be in the right mindset to do them, build my confidence up through the day. For anyone wanting to try it beware of this cautionary tale. Me and my bro were feeling good and decided to hit the XLs. First one went really well. But my bro hadn’t mentally prepared to face the second one straight after the first one. He had plenty of speed to do it, but he hesitated, decided to swerve out of the way of the ramp. He had a lot of speed so the sudden swerve made him lose control and he went over the steep side of the hill. He flew about 10/15 metres and landed directly on his lower back. I was behind him and saw the whole thing happen. I went over the 2nd XL ramp and then came to a stop and ran back up the piste to see if he was ok. He was carried off on a snowmobile stretcher. It took him a couple of months to recover and during that time he was crippled. I think he did semi- permanent nerve damage. Although he’s now back to full strength thank god. Morale of the story: mentally prepare for the second jump, have a full plan of what you’re going to do + keep in mind you gain a whole lot of speed when you come off an XL, it can be hard to control it
Same happened to me kind of. Cleared a big jump and came in to the second with too much speed. Got my arm bone arm bone (ulna) sticking 5cm out of my wrist. Also broke my hand from several places, snapped the tendon and damaged the nerve. Luckily we got some magical surgeons here in Finland
Can't wait, i think I'll be in the park and learning switch for most of this season. You should do another video on what to do leading into the upcoming season (workouts, gear checks, preventive maintenance checks etc..)
Awesome video. You guys really travelling far and wide. Great tips as a beginner to jumps I think this is really going to help me progress my riding this year. Keep up the great work guys.
I've snowboarded around 7-10 times in my life, and today I just went snowboarding for the first time in like 3 years. I'm not a beginner since I can go at pretty fast speed and maneuver rather well without falling (if I'm lucky), but I'm also not skilled enough for these tricks. However, today the trail I went down happened to be the hardest one with freestyles and I didn't know that before going in. It was at night too so it only made it scarier. The slopes are so high it was incredibly hard to control my speed, and then I just had to go at top speed towards a pretty large ramp (maybe a L or XL) that went straight down afterwards. It was terrifying as hell and all I could think off was "oh shit oh shit oh shit" as I was falling through the sky. Of course, I landed poorly and fell down and hit my head hard lol. I did some small and medium ramps afterwards, still poorly landed. And then I did the trail 2 more times and avoided the large ramps, while learning to control my speed with small-med ramps. I have yet learned how to ollie on snowboard so I could only slowly ride through the ramps. It was fun once I learned to control my balance and my landing. Next time I go there, I'll try doing the small and medium ramps at a faster speed in day time, and hopefully eventually I'll become as good as you!
Love the tips. When jumping off side hits, do you ride up flat based or on an edge and jump off the edge? Would that be the same for if you ride up a sidebank to then jump off it?
I just winged it last season and went from like a small 7 footer to a 30 just to try it. P.s. i tried it twice and didn’t land either. P.p.s. Im gonna get it this season though.
This happened to me while snowboarding…I was hitting a set of 30ft kickers, and on the last one a kid was just chillin right where I was landing. Luckily they were wearing a helmet, and I just kind of slid on their head and landed. Nobody got hurt, and the kid apologized to me and then said “ey that was sick though” 😂
this season i was somewhere with bad skiing so i was only able to do M jumps until recently and i didnt get alot of skiing in. on vacation now, felt good on the M jumps, and i saw ppl falling on the XL and i thought hey that could be me. did 4 ankle busters, and since then ive landed on the tranny. i had lots of practice from last season when i did XL again. feels very high risk, but feels good to be doing it in my older age. if you want to do XL, i also rec finding some friends who want to do it too. its very risky, i almost broke bones and back 15 years ago on them.
Hey so I hit those medium jumps down in Cardrona recently, but I have the issue where the front of my board is pointing up in the air instead of coming down to land smoothly. It means that my landing is bad and throws me off for the next jump. I'm not sure whether I'm just not leaning forward enough, or whether it's my take off. Any tips to try and correct this please?
Having trouble going from a large to an XL. There's knuckling and being able to ride it out, then there's knuckling and completely casinnnggg it!. Any feedback is welcome!
You have to take off flat. I know because I did it like. DO NOT take off on an edge. That's if your doing a 360 or 180 I did my first one and just go flat and don't jump let the speed take you
You really just have to feel it out for yourself. Definitely the small the jump the less spins and flips. But I have seen some pros flip off side hits!
Another thing to think about is that for larger jumps you have to slow down your rotation for simple tricks. Doing a 3 off a large kicker requires a slower rotation and shallower angle of approach than a larger spin. The reverse is true for small jumps: you have to spin faster for bigger tricks on small/medium jumps.
You can do a 360 off ANY jump, even the smallest. In fact, lots of times, people who get really good at 360s can just do them boosting off of flat snow.
You almost never ride flat base on snowboard (except transition between turns, boxes and powder). Even when going straight, you should have one edge defined (= apply very slight pressure on one edge), otherwise it's easy to catch the edge. The same goes for take offs on straight airs.
Watching this I think I have noticed what I'm doing wrong,, I pop off or rise up at jump,, from what I can see, you guys just ride off the lip, and letting the jump do all the work. I guess old habits are hard to break.
there are different ways of doing it. personally i pop more because it lets me float my tricks better than just riding off of it. plus you cant realy just ride off and flip, or spin
@@james7967 it feels as if I press when popping,, I usually lose control,, and find myself " rolling the windows up " Or pressing too hard in pop and lose my edge.
@@chriscall3425 think of it like an oillie on a skate board Try and be real light on your feet. Don't press to hard that your starting to lean back because that will throw you ballance off when you in the air and thats why your rolling down windows. Try and stay centers over your board and snap up. Also try going a little faster with less pop just untill you get more comfortable with the sensation of flying through the air. And try some grabs to stabilize in the air. And my last tip would be just practice. IV been riding for 23 years with 5 or so straight up park riding. It takes alot of time and practice. (I also ride 100 plus days a season). Alot of it just comes down to time and practice

Hey can you please do a 10 rail tricks for intermediate riders. It would be sooo helpful
Kev-you’ve been progressing so well. When are you going to try the XL jumps? You seem comfortable ringing at speed. We’re cheering you on brother!
Thanks Joe! I hit them for the first time today! Will have it in a video soon!
Love your videos, keep making videos in New Zealand
Yaaaa
CHURR
Thanks! Off to Australia soon though 😁
Thanks this actually helped

Great video! Thank you.
So jealous right now. The jumps at the indoor at my place are very steep and way too short.
How are you supposed to land? Flat and pointing straight down or at a slight angle with your heel edge?
Jummmpppsss

Yewwww!

Why are your goggles so big?
Does it help with visibility?
It does help you see a bigger field of view.
Looks like park/jump heaven is in NZ and powder fields of immortality are in Japan? 😀. All the best to you both

Level out in the air and match the downslope. It’s most likely you aren’t balanced when you take off.
amazing
that was a nice little visit from david
do you think the Arbor Westmark rocker will handle them xl jumps?
David was like 🧍♂️

I have a hard time to keep my board straight before the jump, I always worry the side of my board stuck in the snow
Me too dude. I think I’m going straight and find I am at a slight angle on the take off and it creeps me out.
Did you spot Ståle Sandbech and Spenny in your video? 😂
i had a feeling it was them!!
inMotionSLB it was the Oakley jacket that caught my eye 😂
@@leevest3366 hold on, spenny is injured and not riding though...
Yeah DAVID
You should check out the club fields in Canterbury while you are here.
BRO PLEASE ANSWER WHAT JACKET IS THAT BLUE ONE??
Hey Kevin, which anon goggles were you wearing?
When you land jumps, do you land flat or always on an edge? Same for take off? New to jumps.
Andrew Chang flat for take off and landing, but once you touch down definitely stick to an edge or you could catch and eat it bad
How did TJ like the 2020 Bataleon evil twin.
Sit here waiting for mine to arrive. Loved last years but this years top sheet looks wicked.
Nice video! Do you advice for really poky jumps? Some jumps here really kick up
Kevin looks like your riding bent metal bindings how do you like them
So you ollie off these jumps?
Question guys: do you take off and land on an edge or flat? Thanks!
You have to take off flat. I know because I did it like. DO NOT take off on an edge. That's if your doing a 360 or 180 I did my first one and just go flat and don't jump let the speed take you
@@MiguelSanchez-hy5wv Thanks Miguel! Will copy that for the next trial 👍
That would be great! I think I could squat and then pull off a jump.
What the heck was David doing haha
Intro music????????? What is it please someone
Nice and cool 😎 snowboarding
I wanna know the one person that disliked it lol it's a great video ^-^
Umm.. are you stay in Canada ??
How long you been snowboarding?
It goes in the order of
Specialized small
XS
S
M
L
XL
Specialized large
Could you do it in Saas Fee?
how do you know what tricks you can do on what jump? like i can assume no flips on small jumps but can u do 360s on the small jumps?

you can flip off just about anything. back flip is easier than a 540. at least for me
much appreciated boys (or girls), just trying to improve my game
QUESTION: When doing a straight air off a big, are you on an edge when popping off the jump? or just flat based?
Peter Sison flat, being on edge is more for spins
Thats my issue is i feel like im flat off the take off and then i end up crooked in the air as if i nicked an edge. How do i fix this?
You almost never ride flat base on snowboard (except transition between turns, boxes and powder). Even when going straight, you should have one edge defined (= apply very slight pressure on one edge), otherwise it's easy to catch the edge. The same goes for take offs on straight airs.
