She isn't stupid. It IS funny. Whenever I'm a beginner at something, I'm more than ready to laugh at myself. Just gotta habe the right mindset. Why should she not laugh? He'll be laughing about it himself around a beer once he'll think back on that moment anyways
you should already know how to ride one footed and control yourself one footed before hitting the lift, lol. Takes maybe 15 mins to learn, maybe his friends are just assholes and didnt teach him
@@RealDovamo actually I went over this before and I mean I failed only once. I had some progression before on a small slope and then it wasnt exactly easy but was doable.The good thing is that he is not giving up as most of the people would do but he is probably choosing a too steep learning curve.
Yo same. Getting off a regular lift i was fine could ride one footed on my board nearly no problems. The L lift or tee lift first time fell and wiped out like 8 times. And it hurts when that thing knocks into you.
nothing compared to my fail... about 30 years ago my brother brought me to a ski resort in germany. I was 16, and never skied before. And instead of going up with me on such a lift, he "gave" me a over 40 year old friend of his who never stood on skiers before, too, as a companion.... so we 2 noobs stood there side by side and waited for those awful hooks.... the first one came, we let him pass... the second one came, let him pass.... It was only a huge crowd waiting behind us.... so, no pressure. 3rd one came, we grabbed for it, couldn't sort out properly what to do with it, let him go. so, some hooks later, we finally had one.... our performance mus have been ridiculous, and after a few meters, the skiers of my lift compagnion crossed themselves, and with an elegent heap, he flew out to the left (I was on the right side). Because of that, there was a imminent move to the other side, because the counterweight of the compagnion was missing so abruptly. I couldn't egalize that (remember, also 1st time on skiers, no training, no clue, nothing). I immediately sat down on my butt by accident. Of course, I flew out.... IF ONLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT EASY!!! My left ski was tangled up in that hook now, and that darn thing pulled me up that steep first part of that hill.... and the attachment of the ski did not open at all (don't know the word for skibindung). After some meters, it opened finally....the hook swung wildly froom side to side will rolling up himself. On its way, he passed a pole.from the lift and wrapped around that pole, like a skilled pirate would have thrown that hook, to climb up somewhere.... That hook was fixed there... but the lift was still moving. No one of those morons stopped it.... The rope of that hook rolled down again til it was completely unrolled, it tried to stretch a bit. the lift shook a bit, and it snapped with a loud noise.... After that, they stopped it....GREAT..... So, I destroyed a skilift.... yay.... It takes a long time to read that... but believe me, from start to end this nightmare took at least that enourmous time :D Sorry for that awful English.
Ich bin im sessellift mal in dieses Netz davor gefallen (war auch ca. Das 3. Mal auf skiern) und bin die nächste runde wieder mitrunter gefahren, weil ich verpasst hab, auszusteigen
those things are super hard for boards, really designed for skiers. I skied for years, got on a snowboard and found it very difficult. I feel no fail towards this gentleman. If anything his commitment is inspiring.
T bar is not that bad, you can always push the otherside with your hand. Circle bar (poma) is worse. OR T bar when you are on snowb. and your little (and i mean she is really small) lady wants to go with you...
Not really lol I went for my forst time yesterday. I went alone on my own. I waited until I saw 2-3 snowboarders use it before going. Told the lady "firt time here" she stopped the machine, put the tbar where it should be and euggested I keep some weight on my backfoot on the board. I made it to the top. She stopped it the second time as well to make sure im comfortable with it and the 3rd and following time I told her not to stop it. If the following tbar is close and u think u wont have time to position yourself allinged with the slope, just tell them ull take the next one. It allowed plenty of time to grab the next one and put it between the legs. Hats off the the lady operating the tbar when I got there. She basically takes it and literally will put it between your leg if you dont grab it quick. All you gotta do is position yourself :D now today is the following day and I'm sore as fuck EVERYWHERE. But that has nothing to do with the tbar hahahaha
This is good old fashioned comedy - real humour. That guy will remember it as one of the best times of his life I am sure. I love his laughter throughout.
These comments make me wonder what the hell is wrong with some of you. That operator had incredible patience. Aside than riding along with that shmuck or duct taping him to the bar, there's nothing more he could have done.
He was annoyed... I had a guy like that too on a T bar, he helped me, but was super annoyed, and it's pretty intimidating when you keep failing. Eventually they told me to get away from the lift if I don't know how it works, and everyone was annoyed or laughed at me, from then on I was too scared to even try again, would rather walk up that mountain
the operator here would just yell at you histerically like you would ruin the pist and whatnot. dude in the video handled it well. he wanted him to success. to be fair the first time tanchor with a board was for everyone a nightmare. i dont know anyone that managed it on his 1day
I guess all lifts kinda suck in some way for snowboarders, since one of your feet is basically shackled at all times. Makes it a bitch to learn mounting/dismounting any lift
***** also cheaper + safer doesn't necessarily mean better overall. I mean, the kiddie rides at the carnival are cheaper and safer than a roller coaster but they aren't better.. But I did get stuck on a chair lift for about 4 hours one time, it sucked, and got dark while I was up there. I ended up having to spoon w/ my female friend for warmth which was really awkward since we both had significant others lol.
+Damn Dude it is. Hang Onkel for this shit for 12 minutes. my leg was hurting so much, i almost puked of pain and wanted to scream but didnt. Chair Lifts are a Lot more comfi
This guy seemed to already be annoyed after the first fall. Guess that no one explained this beginner that he shoudnt lean up the mountain. Which could have solved about half of his problems.
these are hard. way harder than most think. i would say people get lucky when they succeed. i went skiing one time and had the same issues as this guy. its not very intuitive.
***** Platters are way more difficult for snowboarders than T-Bars.. I live in Switzerland an I used to ski and snowboard. With skis it doesn't matter wich one, but with the snowboard the T-Bard is way easier than the platters.. But the first 20-30 lifts are always difficult...
Floeffel Really? Are platters diffcult? I have never taken a T-bar with a snowboard but out of the 50 times I took a platter on my board I fell only one or two times. Probably cause I had a good instructor :)
i feel for you man. I have been ridding for almost 8 years and never once went on a T Bar. I'm a very good glade snowboarder and my first time on a T bar was the The one at Breckenridge, Man I fell about 20 times. The lift operator finally told me to put it between my legs and everything else was fine. Getting up their was a challenge too. Their where some steep grades and once you passed the tree line the wind almost caused me to fall over. I did it with sheer will power. BTW that lift operator is a dick
Funniest d&mn video, plus with couple laughing in background makes it even funnier. I really like the section where Dave takes down the lift operator with him...too funny!!! I think I have watched this video 10 times and still laugh like h&ll...
honestly its pretty difficult to ride snowboard with 1 foot, I think i would fail the same way the guy did. Probably easy if you ski though. feel bad for the guy, its obvious he is somewhat new to snowboarding.
these things are tough to handle when you're still shaky on your board though. More than once as a beginner I just held on to that bar for dear life as it dragged ass in the snow to the top from half-way down.
Happened to me on the same fucking ski lift. WATCHING THIS MAKES ME RELIVE THE MEMORIES. It was the first day, but everyone else could do it. There are no benefits of having no balance.
First time on t-bar this year, first try - nailed it. Second time - caught the edge on the EDGE of the slope and fell backwards from a small hill of technical snow where the snow masine is located and took the webbed fence with me on my way down. Thought it will be better after lunch - took a chairlift, then broke my wrist in the middle of the slope🙈 I've got very good season this year😂😂😂 🤦🏻
for all you beginner snowboarders - try to get on the T-bar lift with a skier , you will have something to hold on and you will learn how to balance. when alone lean back and use the hands - front/top hand to hold the stick, back hands loose for adjusting the position like a boat rudder
These Anchor lifts are a bit difficult riding alone, but just as difficult lifting together with someone. But man, that dude sure took a number of attempts with this lift : s.
Years ago, on to top of Lake Louise, we had a pommel lift. I swear it seems to be in spots to be 70 % grade. There were big thick ropes on the snow, if you fell off. If you misses them, someone would take out dozens of people. I know it's bad, but I would laugh, loud and hard, especially if they were just below me on the lift line, and not fuck up myself watching the carnage.
When I was little I sat on the ankor allone. And the ankor started to lift up in the half of slope. With me on the ankor. It lift up in direction of line and I felt like flying. It was so much fun. But then I reminded myself that I have to land it tooo. But fortunately it started falling down to the ground. Before reaching the top of the slope. But it appeared that I couldn't land it! And it started to spin little on the left so I landed sideaways and it started to drag me on the snow till I lost my ski. Evil lift.
One good way to learn. . Go with a someone. First time I went, first go. Makes it way easier to balance. Especially if they're a skier. Its not easy learning on a t bar by yourself.
The T-bar is all about balance & single foot riding skill. It's somewhat easier to ride with skis, but all novice riders tend to try to sit down on the bar & that is a recipe for a crash.
What did we learn today?
Never give up.
Jean Chiarelli
We learned the T-bar doesn't replace your skeleton when you grab it and you still have to support yourself.
Neva back down never wha?!
And don‘t try to sit on a T-bar, just lean against it 😉.
20th time’s a charm 😅
Legends say he never made it to the top of that mountain..
ahahaha :D
El Technic0 😂
It's Logic that says that :)))))))))))))))))
Lol operator goes down.. I lost it
Well, I applaud him for not giving up!
Tom Corbett exactly as much as that stupid woman laughs i respect him for not giving up

That was so funny. Happened to me and I gave up after being catapulted off a couple times ...I took my board off and walked up!!!!
@@jamesbrady6486 I would laugh till I shit my pants
The legend tells, that he is still wondering there..
I always come here after a difficult day. This kid is a legend. Never give up, people. And keep laughing.
Thank you Mozcat
Dude, honestly as a snowboarder this is HARD AS SHIT for the first time. I fell like 6 times my first time as well, I don't blame the dude
you should already know how to ride one footed and control yourself one footed before hitting the lift, lol. Takes maybe 15 mins to learn, maybe his friends are just assholes and didnt teach him

I don't think they were thinking of snowboarders when they made those lifts.
My issue learning these things is that no, it wont support my weight. Now its not uaving it cramp my leg

1:20 - best bit when the staff member falls too haha
🤣🤣

Yet another problem that can be solved with duct tape
I agree with you. I think what it is is younger people just feel like everybody should help them do things, they are entitled...

Full credit for him kept trying! Haven't gotten on this type of lift but I fell many times on the easy one already!

Hey good for him for not quitting.
i would have said fuck.it and walked up
risky click of the day
Aaron Davis same
I would rather be like him, who tries and fails again and again and then succeed, than accept my defeat and never try again.
I applaud the operators patience. Most operators I have seen will completely lose their minds if you make any tiny little mistake at the lift.
This guy seemed to already be annoyed after the first fall. Guess that no one explained this beginner that he shoudnt lean up the mountain. Which could have solved about half of his problems.
@@ThePancina yep you need your core strenghten such that the lift force goes to your leg and not lean you and fall.

Great video! Way to stick with it. I'm impressed. The guy looked pretty pissed when you knocked him down.
Oh god, the memories I have repressed come flooding back
that lift op looks like adam sandler lol

Never give up. You're learning great lesson bro.

‘Try just grabbing hold of it’. 😂😂

I fucking hated those anchor lifts when snowboarding, was always afraid to fail
respect for that guy. just never give up
I laughed so hard, but I feel sorry for him, but that operator guy must of been well pissed

My favorite UA-cam fail! :) I'm sure I would have been the same way. I've never tried.

Was für ein Natur-Talent
This is epic
Omg I feel him. The lift is the hardest part for me
Years ago, on to top of Lake Louise, we had a pommel lift. I swear it seems to be in spots to be 70 % grade. There were big thick ropes on the snow, if you fell off. If you misses them, someone would take out dozens of people. I know it's bad, but I would laugh, loud and hard, especially if they were just below me on the lift line, and not fuck up myself watching the carnage.
I can't believe these machines are still around. They became obsolete decades ago.
Best video what i saw 😂😂😂😂
funniest thing i've seen in ages! I'ts not that hard!!! lmao. credit to him for keeping trying though!
When I was little I sat on the ankor allone. And the ankor started to lift up in the half of slope. With me on the ankor. It lift up in direction of line and I felt like flying. It was so much fun. But then I reminded myself that I have to land it tooo. But fortunately it started falling down to the ground. Before reaching the top of the slope. But it appeared that I couldn't land it! And it started to spin little on the left so I landed sideaways and it started to drag me on the snow till I lost my ski.
Evil lift.
I enjoyed your laugh. LOL
Friends like these
poor worker, so much patience
Jesus... That was some challenge.
One good way to learn. .
Go with a someone. First time I went, first go. Makes it way easier to balance. Especially if they're a skier. Its not easy learning on a t bar by yourself.
The legend says he is still trying
Poor fella...lol. Good job in the end though!! Kudos!! :-)
They need to update their ski lift.
i lost it when the guy giving him help, also fell down :D
