  • Before you comment about the bindings on backwards (they’re 180 degree reversible rental bindings for quick change from regular to goofy stance that we’ve replaced with new Burton bindings) and the technique, PLEASE watch our updated videos where Fernando corrects the over emphasis to weight on the front foot in this video and a few other corrections to proper technique that this older video admittedly doesn’t always show.
    We are always looking to improve our teaching at at Adventure Ski & Snowboard School, in Encinitas, Calif since 1977, and we have made a big improvement in our new videos you can see Fernando demonstrate on UA-cam and our website www.adventureski.com.
    I considered deleting this video but since over 2 million people have viewed it and 10,000 like it, I feel it must serve some value, and sorry to the 798 people that couldn’t see the good points over the bad ones...

      and I'm a noob beginner that has very little access to snowboarding opportunities. It would be great to have access to such a thing (probably not ACTUALLY in my garage) a few weeks prior to the one week I get to take off work and head to the mountains. It would reduce the amount of pain I go through the first and second day, relearning to snowboard.

    *3 years later, I've improved a lot since I first started. I stumbled upon this video and though it was ridiculous, but it turned out to have helped me a lot. Due to the fact it's on a conveyor belt, he's able to explain and show the techniques in repetition. Something a typical instructional video won't be able to if you're on a mountain with uncontrolled circumstances.*

    This is the best concise fun lesson I've ever seen, the moving carped and removeable bar would allow easy progress and the way the guy teaches would probably allow progress through the really slow bits of learning process. That padded bar would provide a great balance aid. Wish I had learned this way.

    Alot of people are saying Bad teacher? At least he's willing to put something up and help others out. I think this will help alot of new riders especially with the intimidation factor or getting on and off the lift. This helps build confidence and removes the fear of falling and making mistakes on the slopes. As an instructor, we all know new riders that are scared, aren't learning anything nor or they having fun. Give the guy and the school some credit.

    I can't speak for everyone but this video worked for me. Take my notes. I lean / lead in the direction i'm going from the hips down through my legs; not by turning my chest. Most of the weight is in the front leg for control, direction & speed. The tail does act as a rutter. The more weight you put on your tail leg the more you level out to stop, switch & turn. For heal turn_ ass out_ toes up_ feel pressure in your calves. For toe turns hips fwd_ heals up_ you'll feel pressure in your thighs.

    First time I took lessons to board, I fell A LOT and always broke my fall with my hands causing my wrists to swell up. Found out a 4 months later that I had a fractured ankle and torn ligament from an injury 6 years prior to that. This explained why my shins felt like they were on fire and burning the entire way down the hill.

    Probably one of the best demonstrations. I would put more emphasis on turning your shoulders before/during turning your board. And highlight that the weight on the front foot if really important (since snowboarders lean back because they are doing down a mountain, most people think their weight is on their back foot, but you can actually lean back, but have your weight on your front foot - you just need an incline to do it).

      It's the wrong method period. I started out listening to some random person like this and started off ruddering with the back foot - like this guy. It took a while to quit that bad habit and actually carve using my front foot to initiate. Start off doing it the right way and save yourself a lot of time, energy, and falls.

    I've seen this thing outside Hansen's so many times, but never knew it moved. Also I have no idea how I ended up here.
