Been snowboarding for 3 years now. Learned almost everything from this channel. Thanks guys! PS: I still wear wrist guards. I work with my hands and a broken wrist would ruin me. Nothing wrong with wanting some extra protection even when you're experienced :)
hahahaha, i started snowboarding last season and this season went for 1 week snowboarding. But yeah the second day broke my wrist… i think i need these wrist guards too
I'm not a snowboarder but recently gotten hooked on snowboarding vids for some reason. I like your tips just a couple of things I noticed, I'd say the main reason you don't cover your face with the balaclava is due to the fact that you do not want moist of wet cotton touching your skin in winter conditions, there is a much higher chance of frostbite. And I'd also add that if you want to tighten the boots that you loosen them between runs to get propper bloodflow back. Love from Norway!
Nice video Kevin. I personally prefer to have the goggle straps over the helmet. I think this is the best option for beginners as they will fall often and will get snow on their goggles. It makes it much easier to take off the goggles to clean the lens if the straps are on the outside so they don't have to take off their helmet as well.
other tips, don't rest your googles on your helmet or forehead, figure out your binding stance before you get to the mountain, dress in layers vs big heavy gear
SnowboardProCamp also, if your gloves are on the short side, put your jacket inside the glove, and if your helmet has a goggle strap slot use that instead of putting the strap on the inside
TheLZempir3 both resting places tends to trap air which may lead to fogging, or may dampen the spongey areas that touch your face. im my experiences ive found it best to completely remove your goggles from your head. but with everything, your mileage may vary on the mountain :-)
i tend to drink a lot while snowboarding...last year i lost 3 pairs of goggles. I'm never taking them off my head again! Shout out to Spy goggles for never fogging on me.
one you forgot to mention in safety gear is a back protector. I often wear one of those when im not boarding with a backpack on. Not because it will help me if i fall. Its fairly unlikely to help being just on my back. But mostly against other people that dont know what they are doing. Ive on several occasions had people crash into my back just sitting on the mountain (yes i do check very well where i sit. I always choose a responsible place to do so). But some people think its funny to turn as close to snowboarders as possible, use you as racing pole or try to spray you with snow. If the fuck up, they crash into you. Definitely saved me some back pain.
Legir John me and my brother were snowboard just bellow our cottage and he fell no his left arm and then hit his right arm on the snow and hurt his right wrist but its because there wasn’t a lot of snow so he basically hit concret
I weigh 125 pounds have been riding snowboards by whole life. I use a 159 board and it works fine for me. I can glide through powder but also hit the park when I need to.
I’ve always experienced foot pain to the point that I would have my boots really loose to avoid pain and I just had to learn to snowboard with loose shoes but the lower part loose and the upper part tight was never an option in my mind. Gonna try that next time I’m at the slope. Thanks for the tips bro
Hey Kevin, do you any ways to stop your head from itching? I have itching problems with any kind of hats or beanies. However, when my hair is on the shorter side, the itch goes away, but when it's longer, it starts itching again? Any tricks?
I have overall snow pants so no snow ever goes up my jacket when I yard sale while skiing, but this year I'm doing snowboarding and I'm pumped, but it's only October
If you put the goggle strap under your helmet, where do you put them when you wanna take them off your face, leave them round your neck? If so wont that mean that you need to readjust the strap every time as it will move from the back of your head.
TheSpainy to me, its really fucking impractical, i wear the goggles on the outside + most helmets and goggles are curved the same way. so mostly, there isn't even a gap
I'm a beginner and have only snowboarded three times. I'm thinking about buying a snowboard, and I was wondering if you think it's a good investment. I usually go up to the mountains three or four times a year (I used to ski, but then found I loved snowboarding!) and plan to this year.
Currently I’m riding a 140 board on a dry slip however my weight suggests a board of 160 length. I couldn’t control a 145/150 board nevermind a 160. Would it make a difference up in the mountains on real snow. Thanks for the tips love your videos
Hey Kevin, I as just wondering what kind of pants you recommend/ wear when you snowboard? Also, I'm just curious, and this is strictly based off of opinion, but what brand of snowboard do you prefer? Are there any boards that have truly stood out to you? Thanks
I like mitts too. Do you have any tips about how to hold hands to avoid falling on thumbs or fingers. My sisters boyfriend is in patrol and noted that’s one of the main injuries
Hey Kevin, I am going snow boarding for the first time soon, but I'm not sure what side I will ride on and what foot to put first. Also, will it be fine to wear ski socks when wearing snowboard boots? I normally ski but my parents are finally letting me try snowboarding! Thanks x
Hi Kevin, your channel is fantastic. I am 43 (115KG weight) and from Bulgaria. Being a snowborder for a second year I enjoy the sport much more and getting better and better. I bought my personal equipment. The bindings are Head PX woman (XL size), price range 220 EUR (200 USD). The seller said that will not be a problem. I know it is funny, but the materials and the assembly looked very solid. I have watched many videos on what to buy, and at the end i bought bindings for a woman, but looking cool and solid. Is there any technical problem according to you?
Hey kevin, I was looking into buying the burton wheelie gig bag and my board's a 154. I heard i should size up a lot more like a 166 bag so that i can fit more stuff, what's your opinion on this?
Its really good explained - covering some "stupid" things that you can or imagine only as a newcomer. And this is why its worth for me ^^ Somebody telling all his "not forgotten" failures. Top!
Is there any help to that after few runs down the ski resort my boots's inside part goes always automatically to the side and is loose and not supportive, even tho I tighten it really snug???
I really enjoy your videos mate! I'm heading over to Big White for a month for the first time around start of Jan, been really studying your videos so I have somewhat of a head start!
Ben Varley its pretty similar but its more like longboarding, ur feet are far apart and its super smooth. Turning isnt really leaning like skateboarding u have to lift ur toe or heal to turn
Really recommend wrist guards. The first time I was snowboarding I fractured my wrist trying to catch myself when I fell backward. **also don't catch yourself when you fall
hi there, I'm from Europe, I live in Holland but there aren't any mauntains so we travell once a week in the year to Austria and almost everyone uses a helmet with some sort of strap on the back to put their goggles on so their don't fall off. so the goggles aren't under the helmet but on top
I've heard that snowboard size is also based on length from bottom to your chin or shoulder. Can u buy a board based on that or does it need to be by weight?
@SnowboardProCamp I'm 5''4, 80 lbs. I'm really under weight and I already got a board and I did the measurments and my board is about 10 inches to long. will that cause me any trouble snowboarding?
Determining the size of your board generally depends on your height, not weight. Your board should come roughly to the bottom of your chin when standing up straight
Another tip is to get a phone warmer pouch. One of my phones went from 100 to 0 in a few hours due to the cold. Now I have a warm phone pouch, that also keeps my phone dry if I happen to get snow in my pocketd
hey kevin, i love your videos! you're the reason i got good at snowboarding. but hey i was wondering could you make a advance snowboard gear tips and hacks?
good tips, i probably not following just a few of them - google under the mask.. not easy to put if off in this case. and using really thin balaclava with no cotton, just to stop the wind and helmet itself is warm enough for me
Btw you're doing the best "tutorials" for snowboarders. But i have to say that, i disagree with the glasses n helmet - smith's doing helmets and glasses and they fit together perfect without any air bubbles. And the helmets have protection for concussion too. Thank you for what you're doing...
I have a question my helmet has a strap in the back that holds my goggles in that case would I strap mine in and ride with them on the outside of my helmet or should I ignore it and put them underneath!
Mittens are best. Get some thin inner gloves that you can use with your phone to wear under the mittens. That way, you can do things with your fingers and not have your fingers get cold and the mittens will keep your fingers on colder days.

Never hurts to throw a map of the runs in your pocket too. Especially if you're new to a particular mountain. :)
Aaron Gokani awesome tip, thnx

But if you fall your goggles will be come off the helmet they will just hang and bunch of snow will get in like dude
@@thedancingelfhohoho8352 a lot of helmets have extra straps to hold your goggles in place.
Also better if you wear glasses and otg goggles

Tips for the first day back snowboarding after a long break/off season?
+Toothy great idea! It can feel awkward being on a board again after a long break.
It might help people to talk about the "white ribbon of death" for those riding preseason.
He mentions it in one video i believe, ride the bunny hill a little bit to get used to the board again. and hit the knuckle instead of the ramp.
agree with the wrist guard. I lost my nerve on my wrist for a week when I first snowboard.
Legir John me and my brother were snowboard just bellow our cottage and he fell no his left arm and then hit his right arm on the snow and hurt his right wrist but its because there wasn’t a lot of snow so he basically hit concret
Such a good tip! Used them for my first weekends luckily because I hit hard! Saved my wrists
howa shido? I tried to stop on a icey area, and ended up going uphill a little and fell back, it didn’t feel to good for my right wrist
Not a beginner anymore but learned a few things from the video. Thanks for the tips!
Excellent tutorial for beginners. I am very thankful for this trainer. I would hire him to immediately!
I weigh 125 pounds have been riding snowboards by whole life. I use a 159 board and it works fine for me. I can glide through powder but also hit the park when I need to.
you should do a purchasing bigginer guide, too many peeps buying their goggles before their helmets
I’ve always experienced foot pain to the point that I would have my boots really loose to avoid pain and I just had to learn to snowboard with loose shoes but the lower part loose and the upper part tight was never an option in my mind.

That jacket and glove helped that aas bugging me for my whole snowboard trip
3 years and im still learning thanks kev for the tutelage 😎
This is by far the best snowboard channel on RUclips. Kevin rocks, despite those kid's mittens.. Kkkkkk
I noticed in your videos you never have a pack or camel back, what do you do for water while you're riding?
i guess on most of the resorts there is a bar with water/tea/etc on almost every chairlift station
Hey Kevin, do you any ways to stop your head from itching? I have itching problems with any kind of hats or beanies. However, when my hair is on the shorter side, the itch goes away, but when it's longer, it starts itching again? Any tricks?
Brian Chang not much you can do besides a reliable scrunchie
nice and snug nice and snug, now it's gonna be nice and snug snug nice snug
I have overall snow pants so no snow ever goes up my jacket when I yard sale while skiing, but this year I'm doing snowboarding and I'm pumped, but it's only October
This is my 4th year of going frequently and some of these helped me. 😭😭
If you put the goggle strap under your helmet, where do you put them when you wanna take them off your face, leave them round your neck? If so wont that mean that you need to readjust the strap every time as it will move from the back of your head.
Thanks I will give it a go

+Cinestar Productions if you're planning on snowboarding regularity for years, then buying a board could be a good investment.

What shall i wear under my jacket and pants? Are thermals recommended?
Do you have a helmet and goggles suggestion that won't interfere with a cochlear style hearing aid implant?
I watch all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 👍
The Feiyu is so good
I've started riding last year and even watching this video made me wish I saw it when I started. Nice job keep up the good videos :)
Hey Kevin,
I as just wondering what kind of pants you recommend/ wear when you snowboard? Also, I'm just curious, and this is strictly based off of opinion, but what brand of snowboard do you prefer? Are there any boards that have truly stood out to you?
Thanks
My powder skirt never helps to keep snow out of my jacket.. Should I get a smaller jacket?
I use motorcycle gloves (since I already ride), they are normally armored and waterproof, when you get a winter glove. Keeps me warm and protected :)
Knee pads are essentials as well! Great video!

hey Kev thanks for the helpful video again! you just make one mistake while editing : "where" your goggles under your helmet
I cover my mouth and nose with a merino wool buff. Wool is warn even when wet and it doesn't get nasty or stink after drying
Hey kevin, I was looking into buying the burton wheelie gig bag and my board's a 154.
I heard i should size up a lot more like a 166 bag so that i can fit more stuff, what's your opinion on this?
Can you put your goggles on top of the helmet, if your helmet has a goggle strap on the puts?
jo i met kevin today in whistler and he is so chilled shout out to you bud 👌🏽
I'll be hitting the slopes for my first time this winter, thanks for the tips!! I'll let you know how the tips helped.
4 years later, how did you do lol
@@iansmith9201 it’s now 4 years and 3 months, I’m really now curious 😂
If you have a strap on your helmet to hold your Googles would you still recommend to have your Googles on the inside of your helmet?
Its really good explained - covering some "stupid" things that you can or imagine only as a newcomer. And this is why its worth for me ^^ Somebody telling all his "not forgotten" failures. Top!
Goggles go over helmet to help keep from fogging up the air leaks help
If its sunny what colour lens should i use? And if it is cloudy what lens???
Regards to googles under helmet, is there a way to prevent the plastic bit on the strap from being smashed into the back of your head on impact?
I’m going tomorrow morning… I am NOT ready. Excited doe
Is there any help to that after few runs down the ski resort my boots's inside part goes always automatically to the side and is loose and not supportive, even tho I tighten it really snug???
I really enjoy your videos mate! I'm heading over to Big White for a month for the first time around start of Jan, been really studying your videos so I have somewhat of a head start!

ive never been snowboarding. is it like a smooth skateboard ride? hows the turning? lean right?
Ben Varley its pretty similar but its more like longboarding, ur feet are far apart and its super smooth. Turning isnt really leaning like skateboarding u have to lift ur toe or heal to turn

I've heard that snowboard size is also based on length from bottom to your chin or shoulder. Can u buy a board based on that or does it need to be by weight?
After I wax a board and I scrape excess wax off can I remelt it into a block and wax with that?
For the boots, I have one of those boa coilers, so I can't really tighten the lower and upper sections separately.
Could you make a video on how to do Miller flips? I'd like to learn those this year
Interesting about the toque under helmet and the goggles under helmet.
@SnowboardProCamp I'm 5''4, 80 lbs. I'm really under weight and I already got a board and I did the measurments and my board is about 10 inches to long. will that cause me any trouble snowboarding?
Jackson Cooper it will prolly bit bit harder to learn at first but u can get used to it fastly also i guess u will still grow so dont worry
Wait, do you absolutely need the snowboard boots or will regular snow boots do?
might be a bit late but you do need the snowboard boots
Are the wrist guards for snowboarding the same as for inline skating? I already have some of those
0
Hi, I weigh 195 and ordered a board, the list that it had said 156cm was going to be okay for someone my size, should I reconsider?
Determining the size of your board generally depends on your height, not weight. Your board should come roughly to the bottom of your chin when standing up straight

My helmet has a goggle holder on the back to keep them from slipping off my head, should I keep it on like the helmet shows, or do it your way?
+Rory Cheevers Try with your goggles on each way and if your prefer inside, then you can take the holder off.
What’s the first balaclava you used?
The first protective thing you should buy is a knee protector personally i hit myself the most there and it hurts the most
Great tips, thank you!!
This video helped me a lot
Good tips. Thank u 😁👍
Hey Kev, you rock man, cheers for the all the tips!
When is the best time in the season for powder snow?
good tips, i probably not following just a few of them - google under the mask.. not easy to put if off in this case. and using really thin balaclava with no cotton, just to stop the wind and helmet itself is warm enough for me
Are u able to use ur normal boots for snowboarding
No, you need to use snowboard boots. Regular boots won’t give you the right stability.
@@SnowboardProCamp thankyou
Best boots for that are burton. They have separeted upper n lower zone... 😊
(My opinion)
Btw you're doing the best "tutorials" for snowboarders. But i have to say that, i disagree with the glasses n helmet - smith's doing helmets and glasses and they fit together perfect without any air bubbles. And the helmets have protection for concussion too.
Thank you for what you're doing...
Hey can you make a video on backcountry snowboarding and best parks
What waterproof spray do you use?
If I get foot cramps, is it because my boots are too tight?
me, a long time proficient skier: very nice will use this info
Awesome tips
kevin & your team, love your videos, nice Job, thanks for do it
I have a question my helmet has a strap in the back that holds my goggles in that case would I strap mine in and ride with them on the outside of my helmet or should I ignore it and put them underneath!
it has the strap for a reason, but its whichever you like better
actually, scratch that, use the strap 100% do not wear it under
Surely it makes sense to have gloves that go over the top of your jacket so the snow slides past rather than up into the gap
I always like to keep a small ice scraper in my pocket to scrape ice off my board and bindings (just an idea)
Hey Kevin what jacket do you have?
I bought my snowboard at a garage sale and now it make sense why I had such a hard time turning this weekend , the damn thing is way to long for me 😂
check also stiffness and profile. even with proper length stiff camber snowboard might be not easy to start.
Thanks man!
Thanks for the Tips Kev!
Where can you get that jacket , the yellow and blue one?
Mittens are best. Get some thin inner gloves that you can use with your phone to wear under the mittens. That way, you can do things with your fingers and not have your fingers get cold and the mittens will keep your fingers on colder days.
@SnowboardProCamp Hey man!! I just got a burton custom and some Oakley flight decks!! They are sick! How do you like yours??
+Brady Watson the Flight Decks are great! I need to get a socomd lens for them though, for sunny day.
When I started I had wrist guards but they were very uncomfortable, haven’t found a solution since
I have gloves with built in wrist guards, really comfortable and you wouldn’t know it was there
