Wtf a stick with pokes for a camera arm how dangerous is that moron yourself
I wouldn't say that is safe or recommend that for others. Perhaps my points for keeping others safe is valid though?
Sure it isn't ideal. But but considering the speed he's going at and the level of control he has I wouldn't berate him for it tbh.
What is much worse in my opinion is the lack of a helmet.
I get that helmets are shit to wear, but in teaching people, and particularly never riders of both snowboards and skis safety in the slopes, you can never have to much emphasis on how much safer you are with a helmet on.
Even if you are good enough and ride safe enough that the need for a helmet isn't really there, things like other idiots crashing into you like in this video can happen. And if it does you would be happy that you had a helmet on.
John Edvards, you are completely correct but Ryan actually wears a helmet as of late. He's even made a video about it. ruclips.net/video/34bgIrwZyos/видео.html&ab_channel=RyanKnapton
jeepheat55 well I thought it was smart lol
I'd feel pretty stupid too if I fell enough to worry about falling on my pokey stick. Get good you noob.
So bummed when these incidents turn into a skier/snowboarder thing. It sounds exactly like hearing racist people talk. We are all out there doing the same thing in the same place. This video is about respecting one another so we all stay safe.
derekperc Us vs Them. Human nature I suppose.
derekperc I totally agree I'm a snowboarder and I think it is very annoying.
LOL just lift weights............you'll find everybody on the mountain becomes very polite when they realize that you'd pound the fuck out of them on the slope if they piss you off!!! :)
there was a huge fight at gaww cause a lady skier didnt want to go with a snowboarder cause they where doubleing and doing every other chair
yeah i dont really get it i do both i have friends who snowboard and skiie i really dont get the thing
This is very true. I am an expert skier and love to go fast, but as soon as I get to the easier runs with lots of people, I check my speed because there are many beginners who have every right to go slow and take big turns. If you want to go fast, choose the right time and place to do so.
+Zac Carlson Thank you for your reply! So many awful comments on here... But as you said there are always beginners and it's our responsibility as the uphill skier / rider to be aware and avoid em. Respect Man.
Zac Carlson same 100% also when I’m in the park when there are you get kids around or less experienced people I keep it easy and try not to show boat cuz one of them might try to copy something cool and get seriously hurt. Aka no flips ect.
Word
Sounds Eerily familiar to my passion. I love riding fast on my motorcycle. Cornering at speed with massive lean... I'm still learning, but with each limit raised, I tend to try and break that limit as quickly as possible. But that doesn't stop me from doing it safely. I choose my areas carefully. Back roads where there are banks of grass, no wired fences, minimal traffic, always on my side of the road. Safety comes first. If you want to be an idiot, do it on your own risk, not others.
So true. A smart skier is always evaluating the conditions in front of him or her and when appropriate what is coming from behind them. Beginno faster areas are no place to fast.
LOL the guy used an actual stick to hold his camera
FantaBanta68plus1 that's called a selfie STICK😁
FantaBanta68plus1 flake and a yard of I was ski patrol I'd stick that up his wa zoo till it was his toothbrush kick him off for life
I slammed into a little girl last season she was laying around trying to detach her snowboard on the down side of a jump. I managed to crash in a way where I took most of the impact rather than her but I was so pissed. Moral of the story, stay clear of a jump after you hit it
Ben Dover
Yes, you should definitely get clear of a jump after you hit it, but it's on you to check the LZ to make sure there's not someone there before you hit the jump. If that girl had been incapacitated(unconscious, broken limbs, etc), you could have made a serious injury far worse by landing on her. That being said, good on you for taking the hit as best as you could, I know a lot of people who wouldn't have bothered.
Well I just rode in and she was sitting out of my sight the entire time the only way I could have seen her is if I rode past the jump
Where was your spotter?
Neil Gendzwill exactly.
Neil Gendzwill I was riding by myself
Anyone who's crying about him not having a helmet... just think about this: when he's not wearing a helmet he's just putting himself in danger not anyone else, but when you're skiing recklessly you are not only putting yourself in danger but others as well.
I LOVE this comment. (Also just started wearing a helmet, here's why: ruclips.net/video/34bgIrwZyos/видео.html
Digidi awsome
Fine but he has to pay for his medical bills
Ares Ludovisi
You only make it sound stupid when you analogize it like that. You've changed how it works by having him actively hurt himself by slicing his wrist. Whereas the lack of a helmet doesn't do anything unless you get hurt.
Don't try and win an argument by *wrongly* analogizing things
Jurgens Oosthuizen well he got hurt didn't he
Ride a snowboard like you ride a motorcycle: Assume no one sees you.
and they're all morons...................LOL
Had an incident similar to this when I first started.
I was on a piste with a steep drop on my right hand side and I was taking my time doing very controlled and predictable toe and heel turns.
A skier took it as a challenge to see if they could cut past me at speed on my right hand side . . . where the huge drop was.
I noticed them coming but by that point it was too late, they were tucked in low determined to speed past me but got it spectacularly wrong, they clipped the frontside of my board and took us both down an icy, steep and rough drop at speed.
So many skiers use you as obstacles it is ridiculous
Felix Huddlesworth how did you deal with that after, I'm not sure if I'd manage to keep my cool
not my fault your colourful coats make you look like a pylon
What's with the whole us vs them kinda thing lol, skiiers and snowboarders are both there to do one thing, have fun, the people like the skiier you mentioned are the idiots. There are plenty of them around, just because you've had an experience with one doesn't make all skiers the ones in the wrong lol.
Matthew James in fact in the both team there is morons
some boarders do shit and some skiiers do shit too :)
Matthew James dude it's not skiiers vs snowboarders it's people who know the rules and people that don't
I think this crash looked more dangerous for the skier than snowboarder. Of course this one is skier's fault. I just hope nothing serious happened to both of them.
Stay safe and aware of your surroundings guys. Watch where you're going and always have in mind the worst possible way a person below you can do (suddenly stop / turn / crash) and maintain safe distance to avoid collision if they happen to do so.
I love boming down he slope, but if I see someone in the way, I slow down and avoid them
+tom bibby definitely nothing wrong with bombing as long as you know 100% your not going to crash into someone. There's def right and wrong time and places for it.
It’s not hard or complicated :)
Or always ride with a spiked selfie stick, one similar you do have, to signal skiers that you may become dangerous after being hit! ;-)
Gérard Philipp next time i will
Sahadi420 look what he is holding in His hand...
Gérard Philipp
It's a branch...
Spiked selfie Stick xD its a branch
Gérard Philipp he has a legitimate selfie *stick*
The worst thing ever is when people decide to stop in the MIDDLE of the trail to talk or wait for their friends. Move to the side!!! Happens too often where I'm from.
Daniel sweden or norway?
or france?
Canada
Daniel oh, ok :P
I know what you mean I hate when people stop right in the middle of the run and just talk or whatever it's like move to the side!
When I'm the above rider and I can't properly judge what the below rider will do, I slow down, make my way around. I get to ride the whole day instead of ending it on an injury.
this almost happened to me the other day. just casually cruising down a green run when two skiers come bombing down. One on the left one in the right. The one on the right came so close I had to cut my carve short and it startled me enough I almost fell. I know it's an annoyance sometimes, but it's your responsibility to watch out for the people below you and that does mean coming to a complete stop sometimes. I've had to do it myself. If you want to pass somebody going slower, slow down and give a friendly warning at least. You can complain about slower riders all you want, or people who make big carves, doesn't change the fact the YOU have to avoid them if they're downhill. If you think your Bode Miller, then get off the green and blue trails.
I yell the side that I'm taking. I yell loud and slow down. Runs are narrow on the closest resort to me. But hey... I'm a snowboarder.
just started snowboarding and this happened to me.I was going down a hill and a skier went right in front of me.I cut my carve,flew and broke my wrist.
maybe you should get a pair of skis then
NoahMTSpensley Nice straw man argument. Whether I'm wearing skis or a snowboard is irrelevant. If those two skiers we wearing a snowboard is irrelevant. I've been cut off by people in both camps. What is relevant and what the point is here is that anyone below you on the mountain has the right of way and it's your responsibility to watch out for them and give them enough space. Read the sign at the beginning of the video. Just be smart, stay safe and show consideration for everyone in the mountain. Know the code
yeah when snowboarders cut me off i can adjust because im on skis. Not really a strawman your just in more control on skis.
I work as a snowboard instructor at my local hill, and through every lesson I give I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to follow the skier/snowboard responsibility code, every day I still have people that just straight-line it down the hill because they want to go fast not thinking that it is a problem... that code is there for a reason... like you said play it safe, play all season.
You just need common sense and spatial awareness, regardless of your skill level - that's the 'code' lol. I shred everything, responsibly.
I love this dude he has his GoPro on a stick
I'm dying
Bingz same lol was about to comment about that
Blinx that’s what a lot of people do
Spiked stick for the selfie video while snowboarding. Genius man, good job.
This is true, this year without any snow-related prior experience I started to learn snowboarding. I am into windsurfing. I have heard a lot of complaints about snowboarders before starting. Frankly my observation is totally different. Many skiers behave like idiots or criminals while overspeeding and passing you by from behind. It doesn't matter whether you learn or are a kid. They do not care. Each day (Austria) helicopter took someone injured by skier. I write exactly what I witnessed. In windsurfing we have community, in those mountains someone overspeeding on blues ... acts like and is a potential criminal.
I think we have a lot more skiers where I ride so if someone is doing something wrong it's probably going to be a skier just because there are so many more of them. One of the main issues with snowboarders and skiers on the same slope is that many skiers don't seems to realize that a snowboarder will almost always take a different path down the hill than a skier would, so they don't give you enough space because they can't anticipate your line. But there are also just way too many people going way to fast and it doesn't matter what they are on.
skiers can’t see behind them so they will always be less safe when you are referring to skilled people. What i hate the most is when they cross the whole run out of NOWHERE and don’t even check behind them the slightest. keeping your line predictable is a must
I just want to comment on some of the ridiculous nonsense about taking up the whole width! ...The downhill skier/snowboarder has the right to go anywhere he wants it's your responsibility to judge where he can possibly end up. If you need to slam to the ground to stop you are not judging the situation right, and you are of the same mentality as the skier in this video. If a situation arises where I can't judge if I can pass... I DON'T. Simple as that! And it makes things more interesting... I'm not repeating the same routine from the last descent.
cromrke You said complete bullshit. So the guy up is suposed to somehow know where the guy down will go?
Teodor Kuběna By having his eyes open, yes.
The rider in the video was extremely predictable and consistent, just looking at him would tell you were to turn, but the skier that hit him was watching his buddy and following him instead of watching for others.
I have watched this work its way through court with broken backs and necks and yes the skier down hill has the right of way. 45 years of snowboarding and skiing and the "Code" has not changed, up hill skier has liability..
I always have some question about the code, when happen if "A" from behind cut over "B" and suddenly stop?It never happen to me but I witness it happen
You have to being going at a speed and keep your distance so
you can avoid a rider who suddenly stops or falls. It often means having to slow down on busy runs.
This is a good video I hope everyone who skis/boards sees it and soon. So many people get confused by the phrase "the downhill skier has the right of way" from of old, but that phrase was coined before boarding was a thing. It's not the "downhill skier" it's the "person who is downhill". Basically you don't hit people from behind and if you do it is your fault pretty much no matter what they were doing. We all have to look where we are going so you don't look back up the hill very often. The exception is when entering a trail where you have to look uphill to make sure it is safe to enter the trail. It's pretty much the same as the rules that apply to traffic.
When reading something like the Colorado Skiers Safety Code it is helpful to remember it was written before boarding was a thing and just replace "skier" with "skier, boarder, or other mountain user" in your mind. Or just "person". The intent was never to separate mountain users into separate groups based on what equipment they are using, so skiers in these older documents include boarders and all other equipment.
And really what's the difference between a snow board and a pair of skies anyway? It's really not much, just that there is only one board and it's as wide as 2 skies. There is no difference in treatment in law or hill policy based on what you are riding, only your behavior.
For example, the sign at the top of the lift that says clear the area is not just to remind snowboarders to move out of the way before they buckle in. It's a bad place for skiers to stop and adjust their boots or gloves as well.
I hope there was no injury in this case. Almost the same thing happened to me once. I was keeping slightly to the left on my snowboard approaching a ski lift already slow. No sudden change of direction whatsoever. I skier from behind knocked the front of my board out at high speed so I unexpectedly fell on my back pretty hard. He did not even understand what he was doing wrong and started an argument instead-of apologizing.
Your talking about irrelevant safety codes for tourist, but your not wearing a helmet?
They don't because no good skiers or snowboards follow them. If you were any good you would know that.
They don't because any good rider doesn't follow them. If you were any good you would know that.
YGuy1 accidents will always ocurr no matter what but Wearing a helment protects you
i'm pretty sure a girl just died a week ago at breck were this guy lives and i live that wasn't wearing a helmet and the doctors said that if she was wearing one the survival rate would have gone from 8% to 70% sooo
He actually made a video about this, saying that helmets gives people a feeling of invincibility and makes them reckless. That being said, he suggests people to wear helmets.
Anyone else notice his selfie stick is a branch
1:05 the best selfie stick ever made
You are the kind of snowboarder i like. Carving and not plowing. Plus, it looks so so good.
The Gaf Project if it's so annoying than sit down and wait a couple minutes, or until they are out of sight, then continue riding. Just like you may want to ride fast, others may want to ride slow.
The Gaf Project I agree
The Gaf Project I see many many many more skiers "carving" then boarders. Most boarders I know are flying down runs and carving only on the turns.
Skiers will ride within a meter of you even though the whole slope is free.. why tho
sorry you aren't in control lol
I'm in complete control. if you're bombing down the hill at 30mph going within 1 metre of me it's your fault not mine.
If I bomb down the hill im going closer to 50Mph.. 30Mph is a causaul run
lmao
Because snowboarders take up a shit ton of space.
If youre doing big ass s curves and taking up the whole run, you have an logical responsibility to look up, too.. for your own safety
This is why I go side or backcountry as much as possible. Other people (regardless of whether they're beginners, experts, snowboarders or skiers) always seem to be the biggest danger...
wearing a helmet is also good thing to do for safe snowboarding
lol\
His choice his problem not yours or anyone`s else.
Is he using a twig as a selfie stick?
yeah it seems to be doing a good job too
until he notices all the sap on his gloves. LOL
before selfie sticks, we had these things called "gopro poles." people would either use branches all the time. lol
But if the snowboarder hit the skier, it would've been the skiers fault for cutting him off...
+Alex nope. Downhill skier has the right of way.
From one of many sites that discuss snowboard/ski etiquette:
"Remember that skiers and boarders in front of you or below you on the trail have the right of way."
but at the same time......the downhill skier should have a little clue about what's around him as well. If you're gonna go from the right side of the slope, to the left, and back again, YOU'RE THE FOOL, if you don't look up, to make sure it's clear.
Just like when trails merge, you'll see the sign "TRAILS MERGE...........LOOK UP". Well, according to "the rule", you shouldn't have to look up............right??? WRONG!!!
Yes, downhill has right of way.........but that doesn't mean "they can't do wrong". If you're gonna go across the trail, you're a fool if you don't give a quick look yourself.
I completely agree with you people should look up especially when doing wide or unpredictable turns. Problem is many doing wide turns are usually beginners who focus all their attention in front of them and don't have confidence to turn around to look back.
KaliAndy2 Exactly... there's a reason why RUclips videos show ski instructors fiercely defending their students who get hit from behind. They know that you can't teach a beginner to keep looking backwards every 3 seconds when they're just learning to stand on their feet and link turns. The responsibility belongs to the uphill rider who can see what's ahead to stay in control and slow down if necessary.
I think a lot of people are forgetting about the skier/snowboarder code while up on the slopes. My son and I are both skiers and we both have had numerous near collisions with other skiers and even a guy on a ski bike, never snowboarders by the way, who skiing way to fast and passing us. One guy brushed by and skied over my kids ski and told my kid to “F” off. I have always taught my kid the rules of conduct while up on the slopes, I expect him to abide by them and will yank his pass if I ever see him breaking them and ski recklessly. He does abide by them and I wish others would to.
I love your videos!!!! This is another great addition to your library as this topic is rarely covered. Thank you so much for putting this together!!!
I've been looking up hill a lot since I saw someone bombing down the hill and almost hitting someone. It's good to inform other people about these dangers. Good video!
Nice video Ryan - the "on your left/right" is a good tip.
Ryan--You are my favorite You-tuber! (Is that a word). I wish more people would see you as the epitome of a snowboarder instead of the wild out of control "rebels/asshats" they think of when snowboarding is mentioned. Keep fighting the good fight! And keep inspiring!!
I just hate people who go super fast in slow zones and beginner zones lije I guess I do that cuz there boring but jeez at least have control
Zach Maier Same. I board so I can look like an "asshole" sometimes, but I'll fly through some slow zones because of how flat they are because I don't feel like unbinding in the middle of a run.
This happened to me too, I was the fast one in that case. I think lots of people made this fault but it is a good moment to learn from what you’re actually doing on the mountain
Jesper Bloem Nope it's whoever's coming from uphill. (No I'm not a skier who tells people that downhill has right of way).
I have to say, the hatred for skiiers, and the collisions caused by skiiers, have to be caused by the position of their bodies in relation to the slope. They are stomach facing down hill and makes it very difficult to turn their head allll the way around to check where people are so they sort of start skiing with blinders. I've noticed this for over a decade at over 5 different resorts. Snowboarders are constantly moving, back facing down slope, stomach facing down slope, right shoulder facing down slope, left shoulder etc etc. This provides snowboarders with an easier time looking around and keeping their head on a swivel. So the next time you get into a crash with a skiier, go easy on them, they can't see shit.
Nothing says safety like being distracted by your spiked branch selfie stick, headphones and no helmet.
A friend of mine almost had this happen last week, we just came out a fun park. And some old guy going 60-70 km/h decided to go right past a group of 20-30 standing still. Luckily he just saw him at the last second and only brushed his leg. Both could have broken a ton of bones.
Three skier gave this the thumbs down
The man was using an actual stick as a stand for his camera
1:01 does anyone else appreciate how he keeps his hand in the same spot like a gimbal
I'm confused... The camera is fixed the stick. His hand is holding the stick.
I like you man. you have a good piont of view on these things and don't pic sides. nice job
its just that you have to take care of EACH OTHER regardless if youre a boarder or a skier. when the slope is broad you can Do your swings widely but if its not and you are slow let some space to the others
This stuff happens WAY to often. My dad is not a great skier and last season he was trying one of his first blue runs. He was skiing slowly and predictably, what do you know, some idiot comes flying down out of control and hits him breaking his shoulder and giving him numerous other injuries. I love snowboarding but people like this ruin it for me. I like to ride responsibly and safely and people who fly down the runs out of control are just a danger to them selfs and worse, everyone around them. Please ride safely everyone.
+ajn.mychannel wishing your pops a full recovery and thank you for sharing. There's a time and place for going fast as hell... But if your putting anyone else at risk by doing it... Then that ain't the time or place.
Even with these rules completely ignored, I still don't see how the skier thought it was a good idea to bomb down anyway. The hill was rather busy to begin with.
SeriouslyMikey People on skis just do that (I used to ski). There could be 30m of open space on my left (toe side) and 30cm on my blind/heel side and you can guarantee that a skier will try and squeeze through the 30cm. Usually the kind of skier wearing a long tee 🙄
But yeah, unfortunately there are inconsiderate people on both skis and snowboards.
More resorts need enforced slow zones, like Big White, with piste patrol that will confiscate passes.
Totally, utterly, inexcusable. Not as if the boarder was being even *remotely* unpredictable. Boarders and skiers all have their moments but skis make it so (too?) easy to just straight line it. :-(
And That's Why I Switched To Snowboarding
Speaking of safety, that stick looks like a great way to impale yourself or another person
Lol he used a tree branch as a selfie stick what a bloody legend
😂 He’s the best!
I find it funny how extremely cautious you are looking uphill before every turn
That's actually how you should ride if you want to stay safe on a crowded slope. You can't count on everyone behaving like they should unfortunateIy.
I just started riding a snowboard for the 1st time last season at 51. Just by instinct, I know to occasionally look around and see who/what is coming down the hill. Not looking is no different than going across all lanes on the freeway without ever looking behind you. It took just ONE season for me to realize how incredibly stupid some people are, both on skis and boards. If you want to bomb down a hill, do it on Monday, not a Saturday when the slopes are full of people!
This season, I'll take days off and go when others are at work and/or school.
Well if you ARE looking behind you to avoid a collision, then I guess what I said is not so ridiculous, huh? And who said anything about a mirror?
I may like to go fast, but you can't just go extremely fast and go close to people. The downhill skier needs to look forwards to see his obstacles. The downhill skier shouldn't have to look up to avoid people. The uphill skier should be aware that the downhill skier can't always check behind him and that the uphill skier needs to dodge the downhill skier. Sorry if this sounds confusing. :)
I was once going really fast so I could make it across a flat area so I was going in a straight lone and some skier came up behind me, hit me, and kept on going. I ended up having to go home since my head hurt so bad because I hit my head extremely hard
can't wait for the season to start
Love the camera work
That's some really rad camera stick, damn!
My last trip here recently I had a skier try to fit between me and the side railing. He had about 4 ft of space. He made it but it caused me to wipe out. I got up fast but lost sight of him. I was furious...
You have a stick instead of a selfie stick 😂 creativity at it's best
good on ya for talking about looking up the hill too! waaaay too many people think they only have to look downhill. yes, it is mostly uphills job to avoid downhillers, but you avoid a ton of risk by being aware of everyone around you. so much better to move to the side and let that bomber go past than get taken out and possibly injured. i love to go fast too (i just hit 35mph on my snowboard the other day, woot) but there is a time and a place. lastly, as a suggestion to speed freaks ;P, those times you have to slow down are perfect for practicing switch or butters or whatever other ground stuff you are trying to add to your bag of tricks :) it makes those times much less annoying.
thats the first snowboarder that ive even seen properly carving lol
I have to disagree with the suggestion that a skier/rider has a duty to look uphill while skiing/riding. Promoting this idea will just encourage/absolve the overtaking skier/rider. From a standing stop I fully agree that a skier/rider has a clear duty to look uphill before starting out.....but after that the onus to avoid a collision is SOLELY on the overtaking skier/rider. Period.
1. rule dont stand in middle of track and dont do full circles if you dont look between
that's some badass selfie stick you got there...
great carving
Riding is a lot like crossing the street. Just cause u have the right of way doesn’t mean your not responsible too.
It's ironic - every serious injury I've ever seen a boarder get (with the exception of freestyle-related injuries) has been on a blue or green run, and it's always because of people either going faster than they're able to or crashing into someone else.
People much more careful on harder runs, I suppose.
let's be honest with ourselves. the guy on the snowboard is making turns 30 yards long taking up a good portion of the width of the hill (usually skiers are known for this style of riding). they're both at fault on this one. rule of thumb: maintain your line. be consistent and predictable for the people around you especially if you know you are clearly not the fastest guy out there
Its a fact skiers and boarders take different lines. On steeper stuff its often the skiers making the big turns. Everyone has a right to make turns as large as they need for their own skill level.
If you're uphill you should pass with enough space, and factor in someone might turn erratically and not when you expect. Snowboarders have a blind side, I ride regular and if you pass my left side I can't see you. So please don't pass 1m to my left at high speed when you have the whole run you could use. Don't assume everyone is as good as you, but they still have a right to be there. If you are uphill, it is your responsibility, the alpine code in every country is clear about that.
The snowboarder's line was predictable and he was riding about 5 mph, with no indication that he was going to veer off his intended path. If you can't avoid that as the uphill skier/snowboarder then you need to practice more...and at a slower speed.
I agree it's both their faults. People should just understand that when it's busy, you don't own the whole run. Easy rule; just pick a third of the run and stick to your third.
It's dumb riding a line like this taking up the whole run. Then again I'm usually off the side of the run or in the trees so what do I know.
Bullshit, if the skier had any skill/brains he could have easily avoided the rider.
He was making slow, predictable turns, the skier was blindly following his buddy and thought he could shoot the gap...
Fast does not automatically mean out of control. I enjoy runs going 50+ mph while in control the entire time. I make sure it is not a run with a lot of people and if I get to a part of a run that does have people I slow down. This skier was being a dumb ass and should've noticed a guy cutting across the entire trail and slowed up.
However bad it feels to be hit, I'd feel a hundred times worse if I'd been the uphill skier in that clip. Just knowing you'd been a completely reckless arsehole and you might have ended someone's season.
Only one way to never get hit from behind and that's go faster than everyone else.
Ryan! That selfie stick is baller! Where can I buy one?
🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one who noticed that he's using a branch for his go-pro stand ?!
A skier cut in front of me and clipped me once, I fell, he didn't, and yet he yelled "What the hell!" while leaving me in his dust and not helping or acknowledging me
Hmmm... I wonder I can't see the likes/dislikes? It couldn't possibly have anything to do with someone refering to this as clickbait! Because the snowboarder almost died for real! I mean everytime someone crashes they almost die, even if they don't get hurt in any way!
I watched a guy die on the mountain. And it wasn't very different than this situation.
If someone is riding over the knuckle of a moderate jump without doing the jump and suddenly cuts into the landing area and is hit by someone coming off the jump is that person at fault for being where he shouldn't be or the person doing the jump for not waiting for this person to clear off the jump entirely?
+terriblepickles Alright, thank you for the response. It was in a park and the guy that rode into the landing area turned out to be a fairly beginner skier. He couldn't hit any obstacles in the terrain park, but decided to go in there anyway and completely get in the way
Love the stick as the GoPro mount
If your a skier with poles just stick them so if anyone decides to try to cut you off speed too close to you they would impale them selves I’m not saying like poke someone with it but if a skier or snowboarder sees a pole sticking towards them they won’t hit you.
Everyone should have to watch this video before entering the snow area. Imagine the collision you showed only instead of grazing, a full on tackle hit. That's what happened to me two weeks ago my ankle is still pretty jacked up but I am walking better now.
The funny thing is that the person who got hit by the skier was literally going back and forth across the whole entire slope so why does the skier have to time out when he can pass the snowboarder. It's not a ski/snowboard topic it's people being mentally ill when up at the mountain!
+Rush Reimer the snowboarder was hardly even moving. He isn't fat enough to even take up a small fraction of the run. 10square feet at most he is taking up even if he's laying spread out in the ground. The uphill skier rider needs to avoid the downhill skier. It's how this whole thing works. had the skier even been remotely paying attention to the traffic below him, he easily could have avoided him. It's the rules on the mountain. It is not like driving on a freeway or interstate highway. Very very simple stuff here.
It's that time of the year guys
This is why I always make shure there is no one near me before bombing down a hill
In France slopes are very narrow and overcrowded, too many beginners on steep and technical slopes (on equivalent of your double black diamond), there are not many slopes that skiers can have a lot of speed
that camera stick looks deadly as hell
Ryan the type of dude to mount a go pro on a branch
Lesson two... never stop on the blind side of a hill or knoll. I wiped out at Monarch last season when a family of 6 stopped right below the crest of a small hill where I couldn't see them on a technical Blue. I literally had to heel edge and whip my board into a downhill tumble to avoid hitting a young kid. I walked away, but I was a little cranky after that.
So many douchebags bomb straight down. They're like those guys on the road who weave in and out of lanes on the freeway jeapordizing everyone else's life in the name of themselves. I was surprised the guy wasn't texting at the same time. Kudos to your subscriber for pointing this out and you for making a point of it recognize w o safety there's no fun.
Yesterday I got snaked by a skier with a motocross helmet on, 4 times
Killer audio on the tutorial segments.
really nice Video showing a very nice example on how to look up the hill and have your surroundings under control! Nevertheless I personally would NEVER ride with Headphones -> this way you give away one of your extra senses to be aware of your surrounding. Good Idea to shout to the other skiers "on your Left / Right" if they have headphones on like you in this Video all your shouting has no effect -> they just cant hear you...
I had stuff like this before. A smaller kid was bombing it down and smacked me with his pole on the way past. He didn't count on me being considerably faster 😁 small shove and he was in the powder of the side of the run. Wasn't till later I found a large purple line across my back
It's not what's beneath your feet, it's what's between your ears!
Love the rustic selfie stick bro
A snowboarder hit my mom in the back while she was skiing and she broke her tibia and will never be able to ski the same again. I snowboard as well and play it safe around slower people and im a speed freak.
+Jordon Boring sorry to hear about your mom! Yup, if everyone just gives everyone space and takes 'no gambles' with even the possibility of hitting anyone, then we all get to keep playing on the mtn.
Talking about safety while not wearing helmet, listening to music, which would make your calls worthless... okay buddy-
It has nothing to do with skiers nor snowboarders, it has everything to do with the snowboarder not being aware and the skier being a dumb ass and not maintaining his speed and thinking of everyone else's safety. I'm a snowboard instructor at a hill and I've seen this incident and one of the first things I teach my clients is awareness. You don't just look where you're driving, you also check your rear mirrors and your side mirrors as well. I'm not pointing fingers, the skier definitely should've watched their speed.
I am actually an Instructor at Martock, Nova Scotia (in my profile picture) and Poley Mountain, New Brunswick. don't believe me? Call them up and ask. My name is here afterall. Secondly, never said the skier or the snowboarder has any priority so stop trying to sound so power happy. I just said I taught my clients awareness so you can avoid people coming down? Are you braindead or just merely stupid..? It doesn't matter who has priority over who, the hill is shared by everyone and if you're too stupid to control your speed because you have right away, then I suggest you never go on a hill again. Random, don't go calling people jokes when you don't know who I am haha. Re-read my comment again and you'll see that I looked at it from both angles, so before you get butt-hurt some more, finish the comment next time before you start typing. Ignorant fuck.
It’s especially not safe to ski or snowboard with your headphones on. You won’t be able to hear the surroundings and if someone if yelling at you from behind or side (for various of reasons)
I was able to avoid many accidents by hearing the accident coming. Not seeing it
Did anyone else notice the dude is using a stick for his camera pod thing
