Great job with the video, you really let his personality show.
I grew up riding sugar mountain in NC. The fact that anyone could make it to this level from that mountain blows my mind.

East coast riders tend to be some of the best. They can ride anything
It's how this sport was birthed back in our days. All gas no brakes. Riding Snoqualmie to Baker finding anything to turn into a jump only to huck yourself as hard as you could. Getting kicked off other local mountains when nobody even knew what Snowboarding was. This kid embodies the soul of snowboarding. Doing things on the fly not for points but because he loves it. It warms my heart to see someone like this strapped in. Much respect.

Yeah but he’s not because he was a viewer driven entry with no real talent. He would get mopped by every single pro even the girls because he’s just a fake. Xgames your as bad as the media playing race cards for viewership

this guy seems so humble
Impossible to hate on humility like that! Way to make the dream a reality, Zeb! 🤩
*sees glasses on the floor* "just what I needed" - goes on to wear them in his runs and wins gold, what a legend
dude this guys accent had me geeked. Sounded like a sterotypical surfer dude lmaoo
This guy is so fun to watch, you can see he is having a great time while competing. You can't help but be excited with him. Hope you heal soon bro.. we need to see more. Great future ahead. #NewFan
I don't think there is a single human being on any mountain, anywhere in the world more creative or more likeable than Zeb, what a total legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You can't help but like this guy. He just seems so genuine in his love for snowboarding, and grateful.
Zeb is the first person to make Snowboarding very interesting to watch in years. Great personality also. Justin good editing.
So sick. I just binge watched hours of snowboarding after watching his xgames win. I'm officially addicted.
This guy is freaking the essence of flow. Like wow this guy is dope! Can’t wait to see more from him.

He’s such a laid back humble kid too that makes his gold medal even more deserved man
Love this. California has the “pitted, so pitted” guy, North Carolina has Zeb
Seen him a ton riding in carinthia at Mt. Snow over the years. So clean, creative and fun to watch

I love this kids mentality! All gas no brakes. Watching his "autopilot" skill blows my mind, keep killing it!
I love his vibe - "I do it because it's fun and I love doing it" mentality is way cooler than I need to get that gold medal whatever the cost 😊
This guy is amazing!! I just hope he doesn’t hurt himself seriously.
4:45 looks like there are invisible strings attatched that lift him up again. amazing
You are the definition of snowboarding in its purest form.
4:44 BEST TRICK! Love it!!!
Yes! This is exactly what competition snowboarding has needed! Ive been tired of the lack of inspired style in competition snowboarding where creative expression is reduced in preference for execution of a narrow set of athletically disciplined tricks. My interest in and respect for snowboarding has always been about expression of creative inspiration, first and foremost. Good to see that given the stage here and, WOW, this guy's creative style is unbelievable! Awesome! Great behind-the-scenes narrative here, too. Cant wait to see more from Zeb!
Snowboarding needs more people like Zeb

this event was so crazy, zeb and marcus went insane. i've come back to rewatch the event like 4 times
Hell yeah. Love the humility - Just have fun and flow with it. Ride for fun in your own style - Don't care about tryhards forcing tricks.
God bless Zeb....respect from NC.
i use to snowboard all the at Cat Ski Area and use to see Zeb and all his friends i grew up with al the time!! guys so talented
i snowboard at cataloochee right now! i had no clue that my favorite snowboarder used to board there 🤙🏻
I remember watching this live and i lost my fkn mind!!!!!! he i so unique and absolutely shreds!
this a perfect example to love what you do and have fun with it
Dude is really just in it for the culture. Love it
Just a humble snowboarder from NC. I didnt even know they had snowboarding in that state. I like his style.
Good for this guy breaking into the industry and doing his thing. Very cool.
What a beneficial ambassador to the world for snowboarding; a beautiful person representing a beautiful sport/culture.
Snowboarding has gone from “big air” to “absolutely insane.” Cheers
This is some straight up Rodney Mullen of snowboard stuff! Sick style!
What a humble and crazy ass skilled human beeing. Love him.
Things happen when we are in that mental flow. That is the spot we can all achieve. All great sports men search for that! All great artists tried to live in that mental state.
What a great dude. Stay humble Zeb!
Dude is unreal! Natural talent!
Dude who wouldn't wont to spend a day just riding around with this kid, he is so fun to watch!
I love it when u see such an amazing dedicated black man proves to the world that no sports is any specific man's sports it's who's ever that fights the hardest n who God blessed with the top skills
Kid has a great attitude and vibe. Super creative. Congrats Zeb!
creativity makes the knucklehuck. Big fan of Zeb.
Like the Kook from the movie North Shore who grew up surfing in a wave pool and made it to the finals of the pipe Masters, But real! Anybody else remember being called a knuckle dragger 20 years ago?!
True inspiration 🙏🏾💯
This man oozes style. Gives me Yuto Horigome vibes.
At 2:23 shoutout to recess skate shop in Boone,NC so crazy !!
I like this guys chilled vibe
This guy is my hero.
So inspiring 🏂🏻
love this guy
Reminds me of those dunk contests in the 80s where someone comes out and does something that just blows away the entire stadium. Awesome
When someone comes along and gets you interested in a sport you didn’t really care for before! That’s the Zeb 💥 ell effect
What an absolute legend.
Mad respect my dude 🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻💯
The shenanigans right after 4:30 are the greatest thing in my snowboarding life since the upside-down rail slide.
