BEING ZEB POWELL | World of X Games
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- North Carolina might not be known for its progressive snowboarding scene, but Zeb Powell is starting to change that. A native of Waynesville, N.C., Powell initially hated snowboarding because he was forced to ride regular. But a switch to goofy stance, followed by a quick grind, changed all that. Powell went on to combine classic snowboarding style with cutting edge tricks to create his own brand of snowboarding. And once X Games called, Powell shot straight to the top of the Knuckle Huck leaderboard. Heading into 2021, Powell is the new face of fun and creative snowboarding.

Moral of the story: Parental support is VERY important to help a kid achieve greatness.
and cash
Broke my heart to read, so many of us needed this, but didn't get the opportunity to recieve the proper support. Just hoping these generations can heal and move on from the past...
And cash. U right.
And a hard work ethic, and talent, and dedication and a number of other things that your parents can’t give you.
ALWAYS!
Already love this guy, how has he not been invited to any of the big comps this year, especially after winning knuckle huck?!
he just had a major surgery on his knee
@@yuanliao7026 didn’t realise that, what a shame.. hope we get to see more of him in the future
@@JD-gc7lt He was hitting the knuckle at the mountain I work at. Probably not fully healed but I have hope.
Needs to hit kings and queens
There's a video from Hood this summer where he's hitting the park on a 203 Nitro Cannon (Casey Willax's channel) and it's absolutely insane. He pulls out rotations at the last second. Dude got me interested in park again.
Zebs parents are Rad no wonder the kid is just awesome
Yes he's super lucky they gave him that kinda support, cause it's NOT cheap to be a Woodward kid for example. Most kids never get the opportunity.
@@dieseldabz7104 I met him and he really does deserves it. Such a good dude.
Literally the people I want to grow up to be. My time to be a badass athlete is probably past but I'll probably adopt some kid and turn them into total grom!

Indeed! Amazing people!
His parents seem absolutely amazing. Happy for him.
That dad deserve the world ❤️
As a black snowboarder this kid makes me want to shed a tear.....awesome.
He definitely should be invited more to x games. First time watching knuckle huck and he’s performance just elevated the game.
This dude is half man, half magician. He's pulling tricks off things my mind couldn't imagine.
Those parents are absolutely amazing.
Zeb is truly one of the most inspiring humans you'll ever meet. Thanks Zeb for your impact on snowboarding!
This family proves it’s more about love than blood. Zeb is such a beautiful and creative snowboarder. What a gorgeous family💕
The 8 people that disliked don’t get powder days
man i wish my life would've gone like his, he just embodies everything i value in snowboarding and i wish there were more famous riders like him. creativity over spin to win
Never too late to follow your dreams.
Those parents deserve a ton of credit for cultivating zeb to his full potential
Saw Zeb last summer season riding a longboard at mount hood park. The stuff he does on a snowboard is insane. Cat-like moves, incredibly smooth and creative. Endless potential. Keep it up Zeb!
What a trip to see all these old clips of little Zeb at Cat. I'll never forget watching him FS 270 into a rail in front of me, I knew at that moment he was on another level from me. Way to go Zeb! You truly are an inspiration!
Kids energy is real time. Saw him out at my local last year practicing for knuckle huck. Keeping the culture and the hype alive. Remember to take notes kids. Style matters.
This mans needs a full length video part, and a invite to slopestyle !
Would love to see his slopestyle!
What a beautiful story and family. Ofcourse Zeb's gonna be awesome when everyone else in the family is awesome! :D
Zeb on the knuckle huck made me a fan and this mini doc solidify it forever now!
It’s been amazing growing up around this family, love you all! Keep goin crazy zeb. Always look back on when you were here.
Such a G. This vid got me in all the feelings haha. Can’t wait to see more from Zeb. So creative!
Crazy that someone who started on my little local mountain is making it big! Keep it up Zeb! 828 is supporting you!
Zebs absolutely special... Also his parents are also a huge part of his growth.
Zeb you are the man fr ... do you have merch??? Your own snowboard ????? Anything man we gotta support 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Talent! Amazing to see the dedication and practice. The way Zeb twists and flies AT WILL is awesome. His great skill gives him a spontaneity and confidence in riding that is not usually seen.
Can't wait to see more of this dude. Great athlete
Met him the other day at the small ski mountain I work at in NC. Definingly as cool and genuine as you see in the video if not more.
Huge inspiration to everyone tht has the same condition as you Zeb mad respect I know how hard I have to work my son told me about you n kept telling me I wanna be like him dad he has what I have thank you X Games and Zeb you guys so dedication n open eyes to all kids with huge dreams n goals ✊🏼🏂
You can’t hate this man
Fell in love with his style the first run I ever saw him ride. Pure creativity.
I could watch him all day! And know nothing about snowboarding. I have never even seen snow. But I do know about being in a natural flow, a mind flow state. And that is what this kid has. It is amazing!!
This family represents true America.. of all color's. Love this
Awesome parents🥰🥰
As much as I love his story and his parents support, I cant stop his dad from reminding me of Mr. Mackey. Its actually hilarious. Big s/o to him and Zeb though
Mkay
This story so beautiful. These parents are so amazing
theres just something different about zeb that makes him special i dont know what that thing is but its definitely great hes amazing
We should hype this up
How is he not on the invited athletes for knuckle huck... he literally won last year
sickest knuckle hucks I've ever seen
I don’t know if it’s true but I heard that he had an surgery on his knee.
But Tischendorf, sebbe de Buck and Shaun White are only invited to knuckle huck,
It is like they don’t want the best out there but an exciting competition
@@chrispvisionsmeditation4124 Knee surgery recovery
Hes doin fine, saw him blasting ice on a powder board
He tore his meniscus and he’s just now riding again out here in nc that might be why
This is sooo dope! love getting the whole background story
I've seen Zeb riding around Carinthia for a few years now and he's always throwing crazy creative tricks and bringing good energy, good to see him getting the attention and respect he deserves!
& he’s just joined the Burton Team!!
Incredible athlete, with a very bright future ahead of him!!
a year later and honestly this dude got crazy show value...just seeing him try insane tricks in x-games really make me want to see him in major competitions
The one and only!! Big love Zeb! 🙌
This Man has a truly free and creative STYLE. He needs to be on the Hill doing what he's blessed with.. awesome Man
Dang....... this kid is something out of this world!!!!
dude is amazing!!!! big love for zeb, hope to see him competing when his injury is fully healed c:
his mom and dad need gold medals too.
Truth!
Gosh, love this guy. Such a inspiration.
As a minority snowboarder I adore Zeb. He's an awesome role model and hope he welcomes in more minorities into the sport
I'm old.. but... your one of my idols! Keep ripin bro.
Yessir glad to see a dude outta waynesville make it big never knew zeb personally because I didn’t go to tuscola but I’m glad to see a ville native make it 🙏🙏hope to see you win another gold soon
my hope is zeb will be the next shaun white-esque figure in american snowboarding. hes talented and charming and deserving of all the success he has
Great to see that there's not a single troll or negative comment so far. Zeb and Luke Winkleman are the future of the sport and both from NC. 828 Represent! Nice piece xgames.
Seems like such a good guy, what a supportive family too.
Such a great boarder I wish i had a tenth of his skill love watching zeb ride and hope that he continues with his style such an inspiration
Just shows you what love can really accomplish.
Absolutely beautiful story. All the best to you brother.
By far my favourite athlete since day 1
dude that smile is radiant
Awesome story about a great family with an amazing kid. Love it.
i have adhd and have gone through public school hating it. i feel like a failure i can’t do normal stuff other people can… to be fair i’m not this good at snowboarding but ya zebs certainly an inspiration to me
Love watching Zeb...hes absolutely crazy on the hill
So proud to see talent coming off my cherished hometown hill with such an interesting story to boot.
Loved his style since the first time I saw him ride. Cant wait to see him progress
Been following this dude since we won those Knucks! Very inspiring.
Zeb's an inspiration! Cataloochee is my home mountain and they still won't build any jumps... at least we have that knuckle into alley cat. Would love to see Zeb hucking it at his root mtn
Beautiful story and beautiful family 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He deserves to be on the top of the top.
