Your videos are simply the best man I just started to snowboard at the the not so young age of 32 and is truly inspiring watching you rip it up..

I have no idea if this is the best snowboarding video ever, but it’s my favorite...

Mesmerizing footage, the gimbal works so well with the chill music and boarding.

Very good film quality and a great track through the forest.

That gimbal makes a world of difference. Wow!

+speats101 Yes, You can have one .Zhiyun gimbal

I´m 41 and just got back into snowboarding (just had my second season) after dropping out of it in ´92. I thought I was too old to have idols. I may be wrong, i´ve pretty much worn out the tutorials and edge control videos. It´s. so. God. Damned. EFFORTLESS! Your videos are definately a huge inspiration, in addition to you seeming like a real stand up guy. Please keep the videos coming. Me knees also say hi. They hate you.

+snerck Thanks for the kind words. And hopefully your knees end up appreciating me! No joke, my knees, ankles, and everything feels better now that I"m 37 than any time since I was around 14. I rarely hit jumps and pipe anymore... so without all the impacts of landing tricks all season everything feels just as good as it did at the beginning of the season. Hopefully you saw the carving tutorials... I'll have a couple more out near the beginning of next season. Thanks again and happy shredding!

+Ryan Knapton My pleasure. Unfortunately, I live in a small town, and there´s no way to try out boards before buying, so the last two seasons I´ve been through a 163 Custom FV, 163 Custom, 158 Custom and a 154 Nug FV before I got a 159 Process FV, and this changed everything. Previous boards needed a better rider. Tricks were much more attainable with the Process, and it sort of forced me into trying this jumping business as well. Will probably have to experiment more with stances to see what makes the least impact on the knees (currently at 12/-12), but granted - butters and carving (I use the term loosely) is definately less painful at the end of the day! Just ordered a Process off-axis that I´m going to try in June when we´re going summer boarding here in Norway - strynsommerski.com There´s one spot free in the cabin, I´ll be happy to hold it for you! :D Looking forward to your upcoming tutorials!

Just got back from a week in France and there was almost nothing to ride. So envious of your conditions in Breck!!

Best video ever!!!

Dangerous and so cool! Be careful! Waiting for more awesome vids! :)

Awesome! I hope to be able to ride like that one day!

Amazing footage !!

Amazing! I love you man! waiting for more videos :)

You guys are sooooo lucky in the US!! Im in France and all the snow has pretty much melted... I guess its about time i went surfing ;p

Lucky dog. Wish I would have been snowboarding mid-April... and with powder!

Gettin it in!!!

How the camera doesn't shake? It's amazing!

Use with Z1-Evolution gimbal is far way better than only Gopro/! So talent skill

that pow looks lighter in spring then mine does peak season

sick

can you make more video like this one please ? I want to learn to ride in this snow condition. please

I don't know if you already have a video on this but could you make one on the gimbal you have and what you do because most gimbals won't allow you to use the waterproof housing. unless you use the GoPro hero 4 session. thanks!

Это было очень круто парни!!!!

Love the jacket, any idea where you might have got it so I could get one for this winter??

The brand is foursquare. I got this one quite a few years ago, so not sure if they still make this exact color, but it should be easy enough to find if they do.

+princesspekina Yup, it's crazy how good the last couple months have been here. Entire mountain is covered with better snow than it usually is in January. I'm hoping they announce they will extend the season... definitely enough snow for it!

What kind of stabilizer are you using?

Think you can come to Cali and train me to board?! :)

Ryan, your friend there seems to be riding a NeverSummer stick. What's your sentiment towards their boards if you know the stuff naturally?

+Max Greesheen I tried a hd proto a couple years ago. It felt too noodley for me and I didn't like the rocker either. In pow it wouldn't be bad tho. Pow days is when Aku rides his for sure... I think he rides a stiffer board on other days tho. Maybe he can chime in if he sees this comment, or I'll ask next time I see him.

How do those head phones hold up when taking face shots of powder in April?

how so stable?

How did you make the shot at 2.34 smooth like that? When I take video it is very shaky.

did you use a steady cam? looks like an awesome day but kept feeling like i was watching a video game. im envious of the conditions

+DancingTwutle Well, I've been snowboarding since like 88 or 89... I'm sure I made a couple turns back then that were good enough to be considered a 'carve' of some sort. I'm definitely a lot better now than then tho! :)

How do you prevent your goggles from getting fogged up? Whenever I have a facemask, my goggles fog up. Even though my facemask has a cut out for the nose and mouth...

+Hyon Jung Kim :) Extremely rare its this good this late. But el nino delivered. I'm on a twin. I have some other insane pow footie I'm waiting till fall to release and in those clips I'm on an Incline. it's not a good board for buttering and stuff.. but for deep pow, it has a longer nose and floats better than my twin.

где это? Что за место???)

How did you record this video ? like your whole body is taking shocks but the camera stays still ?! How ?
