I support this. Some bike park trails have "squirrel catchers" or a feature at the beginning of trails that basically give riders a sense of the difficulty/skill needed for the rest of the trail.

Honorable mention: people not looking uphill/behind them when doing a sudden carve and darting across the run. I mean yea I dodge them every time and yea downhill rider has right of way, but all it takes is another beginner that can’t dodge as well to plow into that person not looking uphill/behind them.

I've noticed waves of strong urges to buy gear during the off-season. It's a way to scratch the itch for me I think, I'll be laying in bed in the middle of summer imagining/remembering runs from last season and wishing it were winter, so I start shopping for gear... or watching YT content. I miss winter. Somehow I'm going to figure out how to live a life where I can snowboard all year, or most of it at least.

My old Beginner / Intermediate board is killer. I read the reviews of it and looked at new boards and decided I can use it for 2 or 3 more seasons and still not override it.

Love this guy!

XD im a newbie snowboarder and I do agree. My dumb thing is I dont snowboard at resorts or parks. I dont do it anymore but you have convinced me to just save up for lessons and a park pass

I can finally have my dinner and watch Avran’s beautiful rants woohoo

Lots of good advice here...

Amen for volleyball kneepads and impact pads. Was a great investment

Kirkwood actually has this gate/maze thing going on in the park that's near Monte Wolfe. It's not tall, but you have to have some basic control and turning ability to get in there. Otherwise you will get clotheslined and stuck in the snow fence.

HAHAHA Second video in on you and I'm cracking up. Good Job bro.

Couldnt agree more!

I think having a camera isn’t the worst idea for someone who can comfortably make turns, I did it this season and being about to watch and see what I’m doing it helps me discover what I need to focus on, eg carving more then skidding. Not for beginners but if confident it can definitely help to watch yourself back and see where you need improvement.

I died laughing the whole way through this “oh there’s little tommy” hahahahah

The accuracy of this video had me laughing so hard!

You reminded me of the infurating moments when i was working on the progression park, and there would be people who had no business leaving the bunny slopes just in the way!!!

OMG my insta 360 with my 3 METERS selfie stick arrived yesterday. lol

“Willy Nilly” …yes! This reminds me of a time last season when I was in a small park and waiting my turn when some teenager skated in and said hey, this is my second day snowboarding which one of these should I hit? And I said you shouldn’t even be in here, and he laughed and sent it.

Hilarious points... I bought the super DOA and RULERs with the union Forces for my first setup last year.. Works great yet very powerful very aggressive verhy expensive. Clocked about 30 days last year, slightly hurt myself twice, and yeah I am now looking at the Good Company and Cartels as an example because I notice the setup already wearing and I kind of want to save the super DOA for Big Air and just bigger stuff in general... I am a big guy... Skateboarded a lot as a kid... I do notice the "dead spot" you mention on them as flexing the board (biggest widest size) is pretty tough. I think I am pretty decent. Yeah, ultimately, like anything, you have to spend days, and get switch days (I am guilty of basically none my first season) and keep practicing. Solid gear is solid gear man... \m/

My friend had a turtle butt pack and I think they are actually not that safe. Because it sticks out so much, when you fall on them it creates leverage and basically slams the back of your head on the ground. Not safe

Nice

Add to the list, not wearing a helmet. They are cheap insurance. And, have been gukltu of buying gear too advanced for me. Black snowboard of death. But, waited and rode another board until i got better. BSOD was my go to last year, and probably be the same this year.

First season learning at 32yo no injuries, only bruises. Second season I had wrist gards, kneepads, sacrum guarda, felt invincibile and I broke my collarbone

My mate only been indoor snowboarding less than 10x, got himself a Hometown Hero before he even hit the mountain lmao Warned him but apparently the graphics is more important to him lol

I do kind of regret getting the free thinker, was a little too much board for me. even though i did get it becasue I wanted to ride halfpipe,and figure it wouldnt be too bad all mountain. Kinda sucks all mountain because of the sidecut.I just grab my berzerker most days now.

Hey I agree/disagree with you about buying your way to getting good…. When I worked at shops I’d talk to people about there ability’s and how much they were gona ride in a season , and yes that one dude who had the money and way over buys for his skill or his kid’s skills, well he’s a kook and I’d always try to talk them down to the appropriate level ride but sometimes ya just can’t …but guys who were gona put in 25/50/75+ days and were new to the sport and were humble about it ( witch was often ) I’d try to over gear them cause they would learn how to use that stuff and wouldn’t have to buy a new setup in another season or two, so they might be a gaper at first but they quickly evolved and aren’t stuck with a beginner rig ….. I think we often forget we were all new to this at one point ….

Cool I think this is the comment I was looking for...I'm a beginner to snowboarding but not to boarding, working and living at the mountain this year because this is something I've always wanted to do. I have a lot of confidence in my heel-toe balance from downhill longboarding experience, and I have an idea for the kind of board I want (all-mountain asym twin with mid-high flex that can butter without too much chatter downhill) but the ones that catch my eye seem to lean in the intermediate category. So as someone who will be riding as often as possible this season, confident in my ability to pick it up, and knows what kind of disciplines I'm aiming for, I was trying to decide if it was a good idea to buy something that I can grow into even if it's a little tricky to start on. Currently looking at the YES Greats Uninc.

Let them help you get gear. Renting stuff from a good shop is a good idea too. Try different stuff before you decide to buy. GoPro is a toughy. You will see me complaing to my GoPro that I will film slow turns on easy groomers. It's because I take pictures from the top of the lift and people ask for footage.

Nah, he's more right than wrong. If you are interesting in progressing at all, you should always record at least one run per session. It is so much easier to see what you are doing wrong than it is to feel what you are doing wrong. That said, there's no one that needs to record their entire session as a newbie and if recording is getting in the way of their riding, they should put that crap away.
