Skiing/snowboarding is one of the only sports that wearing a helmet makes you look cool and smart.
Aflac uhhh downhill biking?
mountainbiking?
Wath fabio wibmer you will get the previous guys
Aflac dirt bike helmets make you look cool
Football?????
I don’t know why I’m watching this. I am skiing for 13 years. But I love this video😂
Yea same but for 4 years
11 years lol
well me too but sometimes i feel like im doing something wrong, watching these helps me remember small details after 9 months of not skiing
Me2 for 8 yrs
Same here but 7 years
How I learned to ski:
My dad pushed me down the mountain and said ah you’ll be grand when I was at the age of 3
same
Best method . You either figure it out and enjoy it or quit right away without wasting time and effort.
When I was 4
I learned the Same way
I took like 5 ski lessons and after like a year or two my dad took me to the top and said there’s no way down other than skiing..... I was 5
Here's an example of wrong gear:
On my first ski trip, I was wearing the following:
1: Wool coat
2: Jeans
3: Airsoft helmet
4: No Gloves
5: Sun glasses
Don't make the same mistake again..
This is huge! I’ve heard so many stories from my friends who crashed their first day, even broken bones, and now they say they’ll never go skiing again. It makes me sad, really, because skiing is so fun!
Read my comments.
Just a side comment on point 5 - New skiers should, if at all possible, NOT go for their first time on the weekend or a holiday period. For the first time, try to go midweek when the slopes are not crowded and you can learn without having to worry about the other 50,000 people crowding you on the hill and in the long lift lines. You will enjoy it so much more, and really see how much fun it can be.
Get lessons and work on it often so you canprogress and get off the easy Green runs where the most dangerous out of control new skiers make life very risky. Once you get on the intermediate terrain for downhill alpine or Telemark skiing it weeds out the ultra newbies equipped with zero lessons and who have No F. Idea at all.
I completely agree with you on taking lessons. I have been skiing for 11 years now, and still make the same stupid mistakes every time I go skiing. I had my dad teach me how to ski, and at the time he was very experienced and had been skiing since he was in high school so if you have a relative who is very close to you and is very experienced I recommend that you ask them to teach you to ski just so you can save a little bit of money, but I would still take ski lessons just to be safe. No one is perfect, and there is always room for improvement. Nice Vid by the way!
If someone has skied for 30 years and they are World Cup Gold Medalists, that does Not make them Teachers. Someone with 2 years of skiing experience could be a much better teacher. One has nothing to do with the other. The vast majority of the world's "Ski Instructors" have no idea how to teach skiing but they are better than nothing.
@@JB91710 yes dude I can not stress this enough JUST BECAUSE YOURE A GOOD SKIER DOESNT MAKE YOU A GOOD TEACHER I’ve been skiing since I was 5 I’ve taught my friends everything they know about park skiing so I decided to get a job as an instructor and it SUCKED I didn’t realize how much of the basics I’d actually forgotten since it’s second nature to me it’s like trying to teach someone how to breathe or how to walk like sure I know how to walk or breathe but I could never teach it since it’s just something I do subconsciously
@@chefboyardee8242 Most instructors teach what skiing looks and feels like because they can't see what they actually do to make it look and feel like that.
5:58 you explained the ONE part people don’t understand. Thank you
bruh, i ski in a onesie. I'm known as superman at park.
My friend does that but in a panda one
@@olivermiller8943 I’ve seen a coup,e like that at Buck Hill lol
When I taught skiing, I always repeated “standup, lean forward”. Posture I thing is the toughest thing to master with skiing. I only spray/ make fun of snowboarders inconsiderately sitting all over the middle of the mountain.
Also some advice, if you get more experienced and you see someone who's clearly stuck and conflicted about going down the trail, help them! Last year my "friends" convinced me to go down what they called an easy trail, well for me it was terrifying and I knew I was not going down that trail safely as I didn't have enough experience. I wasn't sure what to do because it was too late to go back so I shuffled to the side and waited for help. No one stopped except one guy who was 30+ years experienced. It was awkward but we got down just fine.
Kick turns and many traverses . .....The way to get down a slope that is looking scary and steep.
hell yeah. so stoked for this year, also glad you getting back into skiing videos this year.
Mee too m8
rip this comment... did not age well D:
Thank you! Great video, I will highly recommend this video to my friends , first timers. I did all 5 mistakes on my 1st skiing trip few years back and I hated skiing and snow, dreaded to go on a skiing trip with my family this Christmas. This year I took a smarter approach , got all the gear, helmet especially, and avoided all 5 mistakes in this video. I took a private lesson with instructor and then at my own pace, slowly but carefully I was progressing a little every day, going up and carrying my skis and riding off for 10 seconds short on the empty side of the bottom of the trail, where instructor told me would be a great safe spot to learn. The slow progression and safe skiing gave me the confidence that I could enjoy this sport eventually.. I am not physically fit, but I understood why people enjoy skiing and atmosphere on the slopes so much at any shape and level. I also realized that I do want to share my husband's passion of skiing and be able to go on adult trips for having fun as a couple without kids. Now when I got back I started to educate myself more about skiing , watching RUclips videos about various ski resorts, pros and cons, tips for beginners and I am really excited to go on a ski trip again. Videos like yours help a lot to avoid injuries and get in love with this great outdoor activity.
I went for a 7 hour professional lesson and it was one of the most fun things I have ever done
1:06 when I tell you I gasped I GASPED
I have been skiing for my entire life and this is a great video. I also say ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL! It can hurt others and look up befor you go.
I never took a lesson, i kinda tought myself on the bunny hill
same lol
Your not the only 9ne
That‘s the reason 90% drive like shit. A proper skiing technique is unintuitive, you can’t learn it by doing.
@@Battlehammer333 that's a weird way to say, "I got suckered into paying thousands for private lessons" but, sure...
@@GuitarGuy650 it’s more like let your edges do the work, lean the opposite way of the direction you want to turn, and keep your chest downhill with little movement. Not very hard, you just need to take an intermediate lesson or watch some RUclips videos lol. Everything can be learned for free from the internet nowadays.
Thank you for this. We definitely need more youngsters like you spreading the good word.
I remember last year, my first full season, I thought I was good enough to go on a single black diamond on a day where basically all the trails were ice. I got a panic attack after falling half way down the mountain and just sat there hyperventilating. Definitely not a great idea, luckily a kind guy decided to separate from his friends and help me calm down and get in the right mind set to finish going down the mountain.
I have both skied and snowboarded but I’ve snowboarded longer then skiing. But my mom told me that a common mistake was using poles early on because it messes up your form because you come to rely on them. If you ski without poles for a year or two, it really improves your skiing, and improves your form.
Spot on bruh.
My dad is one of the best skiers I know. He even went to college at a place that inhibited him to go skiing every couple weekends. He had never worn a helmet, because he says that it makes him more cautious. He watched me get hit by a snowboarder, and it finally convinced him to get a helmet!! Also, I would like to say that I’m a semi-expert skier (I can ski triple blacks), and I have followed all of these!
6:55 always wear a helmet
Absolutely perfect video. Everything you said is correct where a helmet be safe if your new learn from a professional instructor. I’ve been skiing since I was three and I love it so much, amazing video.
I started skiing in 1964 as a resident of Killington. I was on the Ski Patrol throughout high school and started teaching at 17. That's 51 years of Thinking about teaching and what skiing is All about, not just turning. The following is my list of the most important things that Humans need to focus on if they want their and other people's experience to be safe and positive. A number of yours are included.
1. Dress for the occasion. If you are freezing, you will not enjoy any part of the experience.
2. Borrowing clothes is fine as well as equipment BUT, take that equipment to a ski shop to make sure it suits you and have it set to your weight and ability level.
3. From the very beginning, take lessons from professionals, not your friends. You have to learn the right and responsible way to ski.
4. This is not your mountain to do as you please. You follow the same rules as you do on the road. You have a responsibility to others FIRST! Think about that.
5. Don't let friends pressure you into exceeding your experience and comfort level. Encouragement is fine but only advance when you or your instructor feel you are ready.
6. Make sure an instructor teaches you to use all types of lifts properly. Nothing in life is what it seems. There is a specific technique to using lifts.
7. Unlike other amateur sports, you can get badly hurt or even killed if you don't act responsibly. You have to consider and respect every other skier if you want them to respect You!
Notice how many times I used the word Responsible? The mountain can Not be a free for all where everybody does what They want. You should think of every other skier on the mountain as if they are an explosive devise that could get you blown up. Avoid other skiers like the plague. Constantly look for them and follow the Rules of the Road, not the Mountain.
The Rules of the mountain don't cover everything. They say, "The downhill skier, (the one below you), has The Right of Way. That's because they don't have eyes in the back of their heads BUT:
1. If a skier below drastically Changes Lanes, they have the responsibility to look behind them and Signal that lane change so you don't cut them off just like in your car.
2. When you want to stop, you pull over to the side of the slope/road just like in your car.
3. If you pull out to pass someone, you signal them by saying On Your Left or Right. You don't get to just blast by people who might increase the radius of their turn just as you go by.
4. Give skiers below a wide birth. Think of all skiers below you as a hazard. They can't see you and may not consider you. Especially those that live by the mountain rule.
5. Skiing will be more fun if everyone acts responsibly. That means You too!
ok boomer
@@ckelterborn47 You're a child, right? A follower who thinks, "If they are a ski instructor with a video, they Must know what they are talking about." Here's a tip. None of them do. If you don't understand what I say, there is no hope for you.
@@JB91710 No disrespect intended as I get your overall message man. I just feel it necessary to point out to you how over-bearing your coming off as. Friends and family can quite often be great teachers (as was the case with me), and even youtube tutorials can take you places. Lessons are expensive and by stating you shouldnt get into the sport without them, might push people away from the sport.
To another of your points, obviously there is certain courtesy required of anyone going out to the mountain, however your analogy of the skiiers needing to behave like "motorists" with the strict rules to adhere to as you listed is at the very least, excessive.
@@JB91710 You clearly speak down to me, and value my opinons less because im younger, this coupled with the naivety of your "None of them do" statment in reference to people posting instructional videos, really shows how ignorant you are
C Kelterborn agreed this guy is just an old man who didn’t understand the joke, and thinks he’s better than everyone else
“follow the rules of the road, not the mountain”
“avoid other skiiers like the plague”
What’s next, “dOnT ForGEt tO PuT YouR bLinKeR oN tOo!”
He is definitely that old guy who you blow by without saying anything and he yells and shakes his fist at you as you pass lmao
I’m new here but this channel has been super helpful, keep it up man :). Reckon you could me some updated videos on park skiing though?
Bro please wear a helmet, it’s saved my life more than once. Even when your a really comfortable rider. For example, last weekend I was just skiing switch down the park and all of the sudden I’m sending it switch into a rail when I was not even close to ready. Long story short, I probably would’ve died/gotten some major brain damage if I wasn’t wearing a helmet.
Progress slowly is important. My first time skiing, I did nothing but bunny slopes. The next day, I did a singular green circle and the bunny slopes again
'Practice makes permanent'.
dented my helmet today from a chairlift coming in lower than expected today! glad i wore mine or that probably woulda ended the day badly
4:07 "green square and blue circle"
Great video. Wish I had watched it before I went away with some friends on my first ski trip. Friend said he would teach me, after 3 hours he said I was good enough for a blue run, after 2KM I couldn't control my descent, crashed & tore my ACL.
Tough lesson learnt, and I hope I get to recover for a 2nd chance 🤞
Hey! I want to go skiing for the first time. I'm 16 and 17 when I go. I want to on a skitrip with some friends to Austria or France for 8 days. I also want to take some ski lessons on a roller ski track to learn the basics and maybe 2 lessons on my skitrip. How many lessons do you recommend? Nice vid btw!
Nice vd... some of the mistakes I made myself back then and I wish I knew earlier
Maybe add one more: Adjust your binding DIM number at least once a season to fit your skill level. Coz I had a terrible accident back then with beginner's DIM settings and crashed on a black diamond.
“On a warm 35 degree day..”
lol
yeah I went my first day on a snowy 20* day. Would not recommend, that extra visibility and more consistent terrain of a bluebird warm day is nothing to underestimate.
VertSabre I agree, it just sounds funny out of context
If he's using celsius, that _is_ rather warm for skiing.
Edit: If he's using kelvin, though, you'll probably freeze to death quite quickly..
B-i-C pretty sure he’s using Fahrenheit cause 35 is pretty warm for skiing, just not warm in general
I know, I was just making a joke.
Hello, I've had 3 lessons a couple years ago then I just skied a couple times a year until now. I can confidently hit double blacks, actually I find them pretty easy sometimes but my form is super sloppy and bad. Should I take some lessons? Or should I just watch some videos and try it myself?
I grew up well before there were helmets and had never used them skiing. When I got back into skiing I started with rentals and they insisted I take a helmet. It was the first time I’d done any winter sports with warm ears (my hats always ride up requiring frequent adjustments). That sold me on the helmet. The clanks I hear when getting on to certain lifts as the bar hits my helmet make me really glad I have it.
I tore my ACL during my first ski season because I thought that a two hour lesson from a buddy was all I needed. I just had my ACL surgery five months after tearing it. PT and surgery costs way more than a few lessons from a professional. I'll definately get some lessons the season AFTER this one.
Really enjoyed the video and scenery. Music was pleasant, lots of knowledge gained thanks for sharing.
Where was this filmed? Sick mountain by the looks of it
looks like killington. sorry for the late comment
and the park with blue rails is peaknpeak @sonmydful
I love how when i started i went from "cold and blizzards are hell" to "sunny weather is hell"
I’ve been skiing forever but this is inspiring me to get into park
Awesome video! Very helpful and your music is super chill!👍👍👍
I successfully grinder a rail for the first time yesterday, your guys videos are Acc helpfull
I miss slalom so much, learned when I was 6 and was skiing every winter until I was 22 and moved to a country where there's hardly any snow in the winter.
Why am I watching this. I literally love in the mountains and ski after school
Same
Lucky... I wish I could do the same, but I live in Korea where there are only a few good ski resorts that have parks...
I have to confess, as an expert and experienced skier, I was itching to jump into this comment section and criticize! But, er, watched it and it was . . . bang on! Well done, “Bag of Tricks”! My only comment is that the video footage doesn’t match the commentary. You feature for the most part, a skier hanging out in the park, attempting advanced tricks. What’s’ up?
1:43 I’m a racer I literally never go skiing without my helmet ever, it’s come in handy s bunch as well, I’ve done back flips face planted, literally everything and always walk away without and head damage, I’ve even landed on my back before from like 5 ft in the air and was fine. Always wear helmets people.
Yeah but how was ur back
@@nolanh9996 Pretty fine, I just have chronic back pain and can't go on long car rides cause of it.
I knew I recognized the place in the start of the video! It’s North Star! That’s where I ski, amazing video. Keep it up!
I’ve been skiing since I was 5, but you’re content is pretty interesting so I’ll watch it anyways 😄
yeah, first time skiing in finland and -25 degrees :D. And still had fun
Nice man I live in Victor NY and was just doing the same thing a few days ago! So fun building a little rail setup and putting down some steeez love the videos bro
single handedly liked video because of helmet talk. everyone should wear one all the time
Hey man. Sometimes when we ski in Wisconsin it’s 50 degrees lol so I’ve skiied comfortably in jeans and a flannel
Whenever I go to a hill im used to I usually dont wear snowpants or a helmet but any other time I do. Also I'm not amazing at skiing but i still was able to teach some of my friends and theyre doing good
Bag o tricks going to blow up huge this winter calling it! 🙌
Speak it into existence 🙌🙌🙌
Im a snowboarder and the mountion im going to dosent allow snowboarders so i have to ski, this helped a lot. I skied for three years but then switched to boarding so this was a good review and I picked it up right away!
Absolutely take a lesson. Not everyone needs a profession lesson, but everyone can benefit from one. I've been skiing over 40 years, and instructing for about 12. A good instructor gives you a good experience and you'll have lots of fun and build proper fundamentals.
Great vid and info thanks for posting it 👍🏽
I want to try skiing but the closest skiing resort/lessons to me is the Blue Mountains and that’s like an hour or two away. I live in New Jersey. 😩
ty for making this vid. it helped me very much:)
Hell yeah, thanks for mentioning the helmet!!!! This vid is great. Thanks man.
Where do you got these ski pants? They look really cool
great advice dude. I started wearing a helmet when I got older and advanced to the blue trails. This is going to sound negative but the reason I started wearing it is because of reckless snowboarders and beginners running into me.
Love the peak n peak content where are the other places you filmed at
I think helmets are cool I didn’t like not having one
A tip given to me by a much better skier (she had been a pro in gymnastics as well): When you ask yourselves "should we do a last one?" after having been riding the whole day, just stop there. Your muscles are probably tired now and your body won't respond as well as earlier that day. This is when accidents happen just because the strength is not there anymore.
And she should have added, the snow will still be there tomorrow.
I took lessons and I still do! Although what I didn’t do when I just started is now sometimes I like to free ski on some days like one day I will go on some slopes on my own and the next day I will get a lesson!
I've been going on skiing trips since I was a literal toddler and i still make the mistakes that cause excruciating feet pain.
To add to the right of way bit, if the skier in front is stopped, they actually have to yield before starting again.
Read my comments.
hey what are ur skis? are they freestyle skis?
Going up slowly in difficulty is what I usually do. I made the mistake of going skiing in the Alps with a friend last month when the last time I was skiing was 4 years ago on the east coast. I spent 30 minutes frustrated on a bunny slope because it wasn’t even steep enough to practice parallel turns, so when he asked me if I was ready for a promotion I gave a confident “Yes!”
Well, his idea of a promotion was to take me straight to a red intermediate slope from the bunny slope… This thing was steeper than any blue square I’ve ever done in Virginia. I almost was paralyzed with fear and stuck on the mountain. I managed to drift sideways down the steep part with his help. I didn’t fall down at all that day, but came close once
Later I looked at the slope map and there was a very long “easy” slope that would have been the obvious next progression from the baby bunny slope. Never trusting someone else again!!
Ok soooo I went skiing with my sister and she took me on one of the hardest hills in the park she didn’t know and neither did I. I tried it and failed miserably and was literally petrified. The hill was so steep. I of course was sitting in the middle of the hill so I’m sorry fello skiers/snowboarders... this group of people said wtf are you doing on the hardest hill lmao they gave me a lot of advice and helped so much. I eventually got down 30 minutes later and went on the bunny hills and got a lot better! I’m excited for next season to keep practicing 😌
The first time I went skiing, I didn’t really realize that goggles were the best choice, but there were snowblowers and the snow stung my eyes, so goggles are definitely inportant
I skiied once. It was barely skiing. I was more like trying to do it, but too chicken to go down hill. It wasn't a great experience since I was pressured by my boyfriend's family to do it even when I haven't done it before. I didn't have the correct gear, never took lessons, so I felt like a fish out of the water. My boundaries were crossed and I felt I wasn't heard when I said no. It was a bad first time, but I still want to conquer my fear and really properly do it next time.
Yo you’re at peak n peak in these clips!!
After snowboarding for 13 years my 2nd day on skis was spent on pow sticks on steep moguls (on purpose). I learned very fast, 2 years later I can go 60mph and have a bag of tricks in the park
Not getting a lesson is not a mistake. First time I skied was on an indoor slope that had like 20 meter beginner area to basically learn to stand on your skis and then 500 meter red slope. That's it. It took me about an hour before I could make it down the red slope without falling. No trainer was involved.
along with #1, im getting ALL the protective armor for knees, ankles, shoulders, spine, kidneys, wrists (broke those snowboarding in 2017) wristguards!, everything! I wanna learn to ski and have fun and if i fall i break the mountain not mountain breaks me!
I didn’t take a pro-lesson and I just listened too my dad who is a good skier, and now I’m 9 and about to go to keystone for the first time and about to ski go devil.😜😇
Yesterday was my first day skiing, it was hot as hell(4-10C 40-50F+clear sky and scorching sun) with great powdery soft perfect snow on Mt Hermon.
I overdressed (Thermal an UnderArmour and a helmet ofc!) other people were wearing t shirt+coat (one even was in a tank top), The day was perfect!
Went on without taking a lesson on the medium track(blue) and after 4 tries I didn't fall anymore, I decided to switch to snow blades and it was the best decision!
I had full control, great slalom ability, full ability to break and drift and made the track another 3 times perfectly.
for my last ride of the day I took the big lift all the way up and went for a red track(circle?), It was the most fun I have had that day!
All thanks to "Stomp It Tutorials" 10 tips and YT.
Didn't manage to do plow breaking very well but I aced the parallel turning and breaking as it was more intuitive for me so I was fine.
Going skiing for the first time after 3 years can’t wait!!!
I have never been to ski school but my dad was on the Albanian ski team for the Olympics so I guess I’m still a beginner even though I’ve skied backcountry
Thank you for this man
As a Snowboarder, awesome video! Keep it up
to be honest skiing during the day is good for progresion but at night is very fun and you can see the lines people are taking because of the lights comeing down and making a shadow on the ground so you wont trip on ruts. also sking at night is a much more fun experiance for firstimers i did that and it was realy fun.
I am hoping to immigrate to canada from ireland after i finish school and have the money and skiing is one of the things i want to get straight into. I love watching videos about it :)
Just got into freestyle last year and I was really scared to try new tricks. Tips?
Much luv man⭐️
Im obsessed with those brown camo pants you wear in this video....what brand or where are they from? I need them!
Saga but unfortunately the company no longer exists 😔
@@TheBagOTricks But thanks for replying!
Started as a 11 yr old, learnt skiing in an hour by myself. Lessons arent always needed, but again im norwegian and born with skis on hehe.
Lol
Skiing is in your blood. 👍
But also I wish people knew more rules as well when skiing my Mountian has a bunch of Billy’s who s turn every other turn and just cut right in front of people and than complain it’s really ignorant, like one time this lady complained about all my buddy’s and me going to fast when we are all experienced skiers and have been skiing for years, people really just need to get better at skiing
Read my comment above.
where did you get your underarmour ski jacket from
Getting hurt seriously makes you not want to ski. My first serious fall, I got a small tear in my mensicus. These aren't that serious or bad, but it was still extremely scary, sliding out down a double black diamond tree trail. It just disheartened me. I didn't ski that much for the next year, and onwards. I couldn't imagine if that would of happened if I was a beginner.
Ski season is nearly done and I’m sad but mountain biking is about to begin too.
The first time as skiing ditch the sticks, they ar heist in the way but when u feel more confident then u can use them, also u dot really have a use for them until u pararle ski
When I was a kid, I never wore a helmet when skiing (always had a stylish toque on though!) Not sure how my parents let me get away with it. The first time I wore a helmet, I was transitioning to snowboarding. The first day, I did a full scorpion and dented my helmet in.
Definitely invest in a helmet, I would probably not be here if it weren't for that!
What are some dope jacket brands
i went on mount ruapehu in new zealand and it was only happy vally or advanced intamedeit and i hurt myself bad on some rocks
Ive been skiing for 2 weeks now, i learned 360 mute/ front 270 out / front 360 and i've never paid for a overpriced lesson
i remember when my dad learned me hot to go ski while i was four. When i was five i was going by myself :D
What mountain do you ski?
I ski in Quebec and most of 2017 winter was around -35 celcius which is pretty close to -35 f
Oooh boi I remember that winter!! Faisait frette en criss
R u special need -35 celcius it 95 Fahrenheit
@@Plane-tw9xz -40°C=-40°F
I taught most of my friends and family members( my parents are both 67 years old) in few weeks. It is easy if you have a good teacher.
