- Riding one footed is an extremely useful and very overlooked skill. I ride down from the top to the bottom of keystone resort in Colorado. As I ride down, I discuss a a few techniques that will dramatically improve your snowboarding. I hope you enjoy!

Good work man.
Noticed you hung your free heel off the back of the board side-slipping when slowing down, helping to scrub-off speed in the snow - not mentioned in the video but worth highlighting in case anyone missed it.
I jam my rear leg against the rear binding easily now, but for newbies it can get tiring if their legs aren't used to it, so a grippy stomp pad might help with foot slippage/grip/control when starting out.
Great video, seems like a good skill to have in a pinch. I will defintely practice this sometime on the bunny slope. I dont think i would intentionally ride top to bottom one footed, just too much risk.
This is actually something very good for all levels to practice. If you're a beginner this is great for you to learn how to more easily control yourself getting off the chair left and is a more advanced person for like you said the broken bindings or just balance in general. You could also include some interesting tricks like if you were to unstrap your binding do some sort of a grab and then land on the board.
I'm gonna make it a goal to run down the mtn one footed switch. Awesome inspirational content man!
I did this last season after my binding fell apart at the top of a run. I got down with no problems, but i wouldnt do it again by choice.
I can ride down green and blue slopes with one foot strapped in. Yet, I've heard conflicting advice - some suggest incorporating a bit of counter-rotation for better grip in one-footed riding, while others recommend maintaining the usual body alignment. Could you clarify which approach is more effective? I felt more grip with counter-rotation, especially on the toe side.
Were you able to do this run from top to bottom in one take without falling? I'm very far from being able to one-foot an entire run.
The sad thing is that I liked you, now somehow I hate you 😂😂😂
Amazing vid Tommie, definitely need to work on this.

Have a big heart and know you will be back
I should practice this for sure
Also spelling mistake in the thumbnail bud 🙂 - tp
Most overrated imo, I value my knees and I can strap in fast
I strap in on the lift if at all feasible. I value my left knee too much.
But if your binding breaks, or a strap screw works loose and falls out, and for some reason you can't strap in, it's still a handy skill to have.
As an alternative, have you considered step-in bindings? You sound like the sort of rider who'd appreciate Clews.
@bartsimpsonhead Thanks for the suggestions, I can do it, I just hate it and avoid it as much as possible. Step ins are tempting, but I ski as well with the wife, so I only get 3 or 4 days a year so can't justify the expense
@@bartsimpsonhead not sure how step ins would help here? if my binding breaks there's a decent chance i'm on terrain that 1-footed boarding wouldn't be useful for anyway. i can already ride reasonably well one footed (just from skating cat tracks) i just don't see the point of levelling up a skill i'm not going to use, while putting my knee at risk. :shrug:
@@nickwoodward819 the passengers on the Titanic never needed lifejackets till it hit an iceberg! Maybe to become a more complete, all-round rider it might be a skill worth practising?
