Today we're teaching three friends on their first day of snowboarding! We're taking them through all the beginner snowboarding steps from learning how to skate to linking turns on the bunny hill. Before starting we did a quick snowboard gear check. It's important that your snowboard boots are tightened properly when learning to snowboard and that your snowboard is set up properly. Next we found out which one was the girls front foot by running and sliding in the snow. Your dominant foot need to be in front when learning beginner snowboard turns. Once we got our front foot we practiced skating and snowboarding down with one foot strapped in. This is good practice for getting off the chairlift. Next we headed to the beginner snowboarding area to practice our heel and toe sliding with both feet strapped into our snowboard. By practicing sliding you learn to stop and change the direction of your snowboard. Finally we practice doing beginner snowboard turns. It took a few attempts with some help, then a few small crashes, but all three girls linked a few turns together! For more beginner snowboarding tips check out the beginner snowboarding playlist! If you have any questions about your first day of snowboarding you can leave them in the comments! Thanks for watching!

Wow. Just goes to show how a really good teacher can make the process of learning to ride way better! After seeing this, I looked back to the advice I was givin, and this would've been soo nice to have!
I envy you, at least you got advice. I am selflearned, took me 3 days to learn to turn. Of course i had no idea i was goofy, wasted those 3 days on regular stance. :)
Bro seriously. I would just bomb down and either come to a wreckless halt or eat it so bad. Quick learning process but not safe
Wish someone would have done more of this with me when i started, they just strapped me in and sent me downhill. Lol.
This is way more of how beginning should be taught. Goodjob!👍
I agree. I had no help or guidance. I tried the bunny Hill and kept falling. After a few tries, my friend just said let's go to the black diamond you'll learn better... That was a bad idea. Lol
SAME!! I wasn’t even strapped in! I was just expected to know what the heck I was doing 😂
@@sindirodriguez1030 yup same here. But after this weekend. I applied these methods and it really helped me out. I had way more fun and didn't fall as much. So I was able to enjoy it more.
@@svue92 sounds like your friend just wanted to go himself and didn't care about your health or safety
for me it was easy i got it right away im happy about that
My Friends just took me straight to the lift 🙃
To my friend i took straight onto the lift: Im sorry o.O
I feel you bro
Same like my husband 2000 m altitude scared me for life 🤣
Same here, went down the bunny hill once and immediately to the lift after. I still sent it a few times but I feel like I didn’t learn much. It was my first time ever snowboarding and I’ve already got a lift ticket for next week. Super sore still but I think I’ll stick to the bunny hill for awhile this time
Hubby took me all the way to the top, first time, no practice , nothing. I wiped everyone out coming off the lift and 2 hrs for me to get down the mountain 🤣
I want this guy to teach me how to snowboard. He’s so patient.
I member these days....so brutal....the burning legs! Glad I stuck it out and those days be long gone!
Gmork my legs didn't burn doing it for the first time last year it was the day afy we with my upperbody not even able to hold my phone
SuperFreak So true!!!!! There is much pain the first days you try this..
Pixel People’s legs burn when they stay on their heel side, either that or their calves burn while staying on their toe side.
or the arms from putting you back up after each falls
Agreed. Just got back and my upper body is dead.
Would love to see you work with a beginner who has already gotten the basics but is still working on their turns and going from heel to toe edge and vise versa.
we plan on following their progression and can show this the next day riding with them
A warning to all beginner snowboarders. I slide withe my right foot as the front and when someone pushes me i stop with my right foot, but i snowboard with my left foot as my front foot. You DON'T know what your front foot is until you actually start turning. I made a mistake thinking that my right foot was the front and struggled with turning for days. One day i tried turning with my left foot as the front foot and not only was it easier for me but i learnt turning in a couple of hours. Don't make the same mistake as i did give both feet a chance and you'll see for yourself 😊
David Micevski haha I did the same thing and it took me forever to learn to ride, but on the plus side I can ride switch or regular exactly the same now
Exactly, give both goofy and regular stance a try. Dont do the push from behind test. The best way to figure out your stance is to try both and see which one is the stronger.
David Micevski so try boarding switch is what you're saying?
David Micevski I kept switching sides for the first hour but figured oj t that I'm right foot forward
haha, same! thought i was the only one with that problem.
wow they learn fast, all that in 1 day? patient instructors really help huh!
Sushi I guess... Most fast learners can learn to do consistent s-turns in one day...
@@bobby5031 I was going snowboarding for the first time watched some videos. after 3 hours without instructions s- turns became pretty easy. :D
I did it with an instructor and he was such an impatient asshole. I just left the lessons and did it myself.
Sushi they both seem to have said they have prior skiing experience, and I heard learning boarding off of skiing is a hell of a lot easier. But yeah the instructor has a lot to do with it lol
If you're gonna be an instructor you better be patient, not like the ones who just strap you in and push you down "GOOD LUCK!😉"
When I was learing I paid for multiple lessons and sadly this is 110% better lesson then I ever got when learning! You are so good at explaining things so they actually make sense and breaking down how snowboarding works so you know what you should and shouldn't be doing, when I was learning so often I would catch an edge or lose balance and have no clue what I was doing wrong because it was never explained to me. Thank you so much for your videos and really helping people!
I’m so excited to try snowboarding this winter....if corona don’t say otherwise ey
I feel like you can grow even more by taking in new clients (beginners) and offer instructing services and while doing so you can make even more videos such as these. Keep up the great work by the way
I'd pay a lot to have a good instructor like him ! :)
Marc Coadou hahah I had him as an instructor like 6 years ago back when he taught
+BlackbirdVizion hey! Who is this?
SnowboardProCamp haha I was just in a group lesson you were teaching for a couple days in 2012. I remember you were still editing the "killer trees" video. I was like in grade 7 loll, good times.
iVince905
I've been riding for over 10 years but this video gets me so hype. I love seeing new people start to "get it".
Definitely gonna use this video for when I bring beginners to the mountain.
Kudos to the girls for listening to instructions and having fun at the same time. Kudos to the instructors for breaking it down to the basics.
snowboard with them more often. it'll be cool to see in each video how they are all improving. I wanna see ya teaching like this more often
Gave me confidence that I can pick up snowboarding! Maybe at a slower pace, but reviewing these videos helps it make more sense!
Had my first snowboarding session today and spent a majority of the time on my butt thanks to overcorrection.
This is a great video for me to use to help all of my friends out who have never boarded. I encourage them to watch all your videos before we go out. Thank you
I so wish I had you as my instructor! I love how patient, encouraging, and helpful you are. I feel like you are so good at making sure the person is having fun and is comfortable with you which is so important!
Watching this vid was more helpful than my 2 days with my instructor..amazing what you can learn by watching others learn..keep em.coming
Kevin, your videos have helped me progress so much as a rider, and I love keeping up with your latest tutorials. I would love to see a video with some tips on approaching some more unique features in the parks, such as walls and unique jibs, and other things outside of the basic rails, boxes, and jumps
Shout out to these girls progressing so quickly!!
I was teaching my friend to snowboard the other day! Thx to your vids, I was able to teach her the toe and heel edge, the falling leaf, turning and going of a chair lift!( in just 4 hours) ! You are also the reason I get better at snowboarding thx.
Great video, please more from learn these girls. I am a beginner and fun to watch as it is the beginning of learning.
This is the first movie I've ever seen of learning for beginners as it really looks like.
Thank You :)
Patient and encouraging instructors. It is so important to keep it fun when it is so easy to get discouraged. Way to go team!
Damn he’s a good teacher I just got sent down the hill first time ... 😂
I want to teach my girlfriend this season. This is great instruction on how to teach someone new. Thanks for the helpful vid!
Your beginning snowboard videos really made my first day snowboarding go so much smoother and calm my nerves. These videos are fantastic! Wish you were in Colorado!! Cheers!
love watching people go through the first day on a board. hard to remember how hard stopping was when i first rode
You're such a great instructor! Not a bad looking one either ☺️
EugeneeDelx3 ew
hes taken 😂
My god someone can’t even be nice to someone without being called a “thot” or “whore” nowadays.
@@savannahcanfield7134 Same. Guys can't give compliments w/o being accused of being a creeper rapist, basically.
You are a very good instructor ... after I watched your videos I gained more confidence in myself and now I'm doing well ... thanks and happy new year !!!
loved the vid with these girls. make more videos with them cause i want to see them progress:)
CasperEDM I agree. I'm learning myself and I love to see/follow other people's progression
I'm so excited to learn after watching this video! I'm sure a lot of this info will stick with me :) Nicely done!
Man, so much nicer than my first day with my cousin who was also a newbie teaching me. Soo much pain. lol. great job girls!
The girl in the burgundy pants made some nice turns. Hope she keeps riding 👌🏼
dafuqs a burgundy, translation to english?
Tehasce "dafuq"? Kind of ironic to use a word like that and not know what color burgundy is. Maybe try googling it before you make yourself look like a fool?
Tehasce it's a color bro
+Tehasce do you even english?
+Gela _ fyi the only color pants any of the girls have are black blue and purple so gtfo with your made up shit
I ski but would love lessons like this on boarding! I tried to board once 7 years ago, had the worst time. After 3 confident seasons on skis and a much fitter body I think I'm ready to try again
I learned snowboarding last year at the age of 34 (my wife is a really good snowboarder allready) and I know how hard it is to learn the first steps on the bunny hill. Can't remember how often I badly crashed on my butt XD! After 2 Days I was ready to do the first turns and after these successes I was getting better every day. Can't wait to go snowboarding soon (March YEAH) and I will certainly try some of your tutorial tips (Best tip: Steering with backhand)!
Next Goal: Link turns properly :)!
Great Videos, keep going!
Great video Kevin. This is just what i was looking for in order to learn.
Thanks so much ... we made it through our first 6 day snowboarding experience ion NZ thanks to your vids.. Hats off to you bro :)
Just started snowboarding on Saturday. Tons of fun (and falls)!
Really look forward to seeing your videos every day man! thanks for doing it these are great
This is so cool! I want to start boarding, I hope when I start I find friends like you guys!
Awesome video guys 😃👍I totally enjoyed watching it and I think the girls had fun😎❤️
Kevin, you are such a great instructor! I learned a lot from just watching your videos!
i would love to see more videos on their progress and to see teaching methods for snowboard instructors as i am wanting to teach in the near future
Kevin, you are doin great job! Love how you are teaching us noobs :) It looks like you are really happy to teach people how to ride. Thank you for that :)
And nice camera job! :)
This is a great place to learn! Kevin you are a great teacher too I really struggle to learn boarding, because I am extremely afraid, I wish I have been taught on a easy slope
Hey Kevin you help me with all my snowboard tricks and tips. Keep up the awesome work and I will see you soon up at whistler hopefully
Nice, first day, they are doing amazing. I went for my second day yesterday, was hoping some improvement but kinda suck. I don't know but some people learn things really fast.
Going snowboarding next week. Really looking forward to it!
I want him as my teacher!!! His energy is awesome!
Great vid. I enjoy seeing more gals snowboarding. Especially very short women..like myself haha
I love everything about this video
+Brown Eyed Girl Thank you! We're going to try and do more videos with these girls as the progress!
Your videos are awesome! I just started snowboarding today, and your videos really helped me! I still can't really do the toe-to-heel turn really well though... BUT HEY thanks for the pro tips!
One of the best videos for beginners! Thanks! :)
Im learning snowboarding from your videos. They are really helpful!
Wow Kevin your a great instructor! Love your videos! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for making such great content!
I loved this video! You guys are such awesome instructors and make it look less scary!
I wish I had you guys as teachers! You are so nice and chill ^^
What a fantastic instructor!!! I wish you were closer for my kids... WOW!
I tried snowboarding for the first time last week. My instructor spent no more than 10 minutes teaching me how to skate and turn and then took me up a blue run, where I quickly learned how to link my turns. The next morning, I was feeling really confident to go alone but it turned out to be a lot more difficult without someone to encourage me, comment on my posture, and point out my mistakes, so I ended up crashing and tumbling down slopes for 6 hours. Anyway, I got pretty smooth by the end of my third day, so big thanks to the instructor who saved me lots of time and frustration and made my first day really fun! My arms are really sore from repeatedly pushing myself up after crashing though xD. Awesome content on this channel, by the way, I'm very inspired to keep practicing and become decent at snowboarding! Great full-body workout and super fun! I'm never going back to skiing.
It became so fresh in my memory! We all do the same mistakes lol!
I just started watching you a week ago i think and i feel like i've watched every Video already and cant wait till you upload another one :D
Im so pumped up that i can ride again in March in Austria on the Kitzsteinhorn.
I hope we'll shredd the mountains together one day :D
- Have a great day everyone and stay fresh! ^^
Thank you for these educational videos. They saved me from getting frustrated and learn easier on my own. No need for a class haha. I still struggle with my toes but hey, I made it all the way to the mountain falling like 20 times 😂. It could be worse and a day later I’m sore as s&@/t. Invest in those crash pants, they saved my butt.
Loving these longer videos recently Kevin !!
fun to watch, I really enjoy it.
Thanks for the video!! its very empowering:)love it
good on you guys! Always love to see new riders and people inspired! Gotta say though, you got more patience than me! haha
I'll never forget my first few edge catches. Bloody...
So fun to watch!
This is the sort of vid I wished existed when I started boarding. Seeing someone else go through their first day makes your own a little less daunting!
Took my girlfriend skiing today got cussed out and almost dumped...
did she break up with you?
I'd love to have a boyfriend like that haha
f
dang mayyybe next time make sure she has patience lol
Did she break up with you??
If she did i feel bad for you.
I'm on day 3 of learning to snowboard and this definitely helped a lot!! Thank you (:
Nicole Baird just a tip, focus on your tail and remember that you cannot turn/lean before you tail has turned otherwise you'll go down hill and definetly fall
Nicole Baird did u learn alone or with instructor?
This was great. Tried skiing last year. Terrifying as I struggled to stop. I like look up you stop. And that someone can hang onto you while learning. Takes the fear out of out of control runaway.
Awesome video Kevin. Really got my girlfriend excited to get out on the slopes. Keep up the videos!!
If you are trying to determine your stance on your first day I recommend trying both ways. Start by skating regular for 2 minutes. Then try skating goofy for 2 minutes. Usually the student can figure out their strong side within this time.
When you have both feet strapped in you are free to ride goofy or regular, whatever you prefer. This freedom is why I like the sport so much.
For those beginners make sure you take a lesson from a certified instructor. They will tell you about the 4 board performances. These are the ways you can move your board to get the board to do your wishes. They are Tilt, Twist, Pivot, and Pressure. I saw no mention of torsional twisting of the snowboard here. Maybe I missed it.
Daymon Gray in the video he said that her board was set to goofy even though she was regular and that it was messing up with her turns. How would I be able to switch it from goofy to regular? Sorry if that’s a really stupid question.
These guys are so supportive! My teacher had a lot more people so I dont blame him but there really wasn't much positive reinforcement
I am excited for 2018 winter because i am finally going snowboarding!
Wow nice video man! Keep on the good work
Nicely done kev!!
Good instructor 👍👍👍👍
The fellas have incredible patience. The ladies had incredible perseverance. Good day 1 all.
I wish I had an instructor as good as you when I was learning. My first lesson started with having us go straight without learning how to stop.
You ever consider doing teaching videos with subscribers? :)
man, it s nice to see how the people have different style of reception, as you saw the purple pants girl, after she saw an visual example of you making the turns she completely understood.
i wish i had snow in my country snowboarding looks so much fun
Should have watch this before I started to snowboard yesterday. It would be so much easier, fun and not having so much muscle aches.
They have a great teacher!
gotta go down an actual slope on your first day and experience the inevitable brutal falling
I wouldn't do that. Good way to get hurt. I was absolutely, completely, sore after my first day on the bunny hill. My entire body was sore. That was plenty for me.
Actually now that I think of it, I did try the lift to go on a run as the last thing on my first day. I caught an edge and slammed into the ground and knocked the air out of my lungs.
Can do what you want but I wouldn't recommend it.
Absolutely right
yeah i did that on my first couple months of snowboarding and i broke my wrist
@@clamum i think you probably should because thats how i learned and yeah ur sore because thats normal
I've found the much longer green route to be far easier than the tiny bunny slope. It's hard to turn correctly on almost flat ground
Wish I had you as my instructor! I learned at Gala Yuzawa, Japan. I had a Brit instructor who was mildly bored and a beginner one. She forgot to teach us how to strap the board and didn't notice I was a goofy and kept teaching with the standard. She was basically saying, "Sorry, my bad didn't teach that" half of the time. Also there was a blizzard. Would love to try it again though!
Hello! I've been watching your videos and they seem pretty great. I hope I will remember your tips on the slope!
My problem many times is that I do not know how to correct when I make a mistake.
So, if you have the chance, please make more videos with actual beginners riding :) (and you giving them tips of course)
Wow they learned fast, took me forever to learn how to turn
VERY BEAUTIFUL life changing in fact
heh. I am just about to go to teach my girlfriend for the fist time. just checked what's new at utube and here. s ur video. =) cheers from Moscow)
Just got done snowboarding yesterday. My ass still hurts haha. My friends literally took me up the hill with minimum guidance lol. Would definitely go again sometime in the new future.
this was very helpful to teach me how to teach my girl
Your such an awesome teacher
I love watching girls learn to snowboard versus boys, I feel like they are far more comfortable with asking for help, showing that they are scared, and messing around during the lesson
Congratulations 💪🏼 nice improvement 🎉🎉
what the heck you’re a great instructor !!! wish they had some like you guys in Mammoth lol
Kevin!!! Come to Las Vegas! I will pay to have you teach me 😭😭 the instructor that was teaching me didn’t really tell me much..just had us go to the edge of the bunny hill and slide down..needless to say I was not getting it at all and would like to know how to turn and control my speed!
So motivational video! 😊
