About MY TURN
You can tell a lot about a rider by the way they turn. The tracks we each leave behind tell a story, saying, “This is how I do it.” But when we ride, we’re not always on a board, and our turns take many forms. MY TURN gives people from Burton’s community a blank canvas to take their turn, make their mark, and tell their story.

Zeb radiates an energy and vibe that gets you stoked to go ride!
It's so infectious
Can we just show some appreciation for Selema Masekela as well and what he's done not just for snowboarding but for the whole of action sports for the best part of 30 years. We need to start referring to him as the Godfather of action sports
That guy should have gray hair by now, does he dye?
He was a host for Xgames...that's it.
@@keezay3471 he was and is a lovable personality. I personally find extreme sports to be bad joo joo and suicidal tendencies, but I used to like it, til my injuries set in, now I hate extreme sports. Lol
@@josephmartin5483 I really don't care about your life story
@@keezay3471 you will care someday when you grow up and regret following delusional dreams
Black snowboarder from NC here… Zeb is enabling a whole new culture of snowboarding. My roommate from Mexico who had never seen snow until this year has fallen in love with the sport…now I can’t keep him off the mountain lol. Of course I showed him a few clips of Zeb and he now claims Zeb to be his favorite rider. Such a dope feeling knowing one of the best in the world looks and comes from the same place as you. Pray for the homie as I’m taking him to Vail in March 🤣
respect for burton posting this video not cutting out shots of other sponsors.
Zeb is so refreshing to watch. One of a kind style imo. Also. Shout-out to Sal! What an absolute legend, been watching you sense that first one in '02!
Selema is the voice of a generation.
chad otterstrom is the man! never knew he was his coach!
Thankful for Chad!
"Defying all logic, Zeb Powell’s unpredictably explosive style" - that's Zeb 🤩
I started snowboarding a few years ago on a burton board. Being a black snowboarder I didn't have any inspo but I loved Shaun White he really pushed me to get into it because I wanted to be like him. Now seeing Zeb and Shaun is retired it only makes me wanna push myself more and one day hopefully I get to shred with both. KEEP GOING ZEB!! THE COMMUNITY IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!
Zeb, as a rider for over 35 years you are one of my favs. Pure and humble joy when you ride. Can we get a helmet on that head, please?
We're f*ing here! :D Love it
I am white, european and 30.
I consider Zeb one of the guys to make me follow pro snowboarding on a different level again:
I fell in love with the sport when every trick seemed insane but reachable: "I can do a 360, it's just a couple more spins"
...Now it's off the knuckle corking insanity.
Zeb still does that insanity but on a level that makes me question physics and realise:
It's all about the fun.
He gives me the vibe:
If i have fun caving and hitting side hits I feels like i am doing the same thing he (pro snowboarding) does with a little more regard to the laws of physiks and a little less skill.
He's just great for the sport in general!
BIG UP!
Zeb is to snowboarding as Mason Ho is to surfing. High vibration, constant happiness, and freakish talent 👍 thanks Burton!
Right on. Mason Ho is great to watch. So unpredictable.
I'm 35 and recently started snowboarding. I love this brand. I even loved it more when I noticed I received a 20% veteran discount. Wow you guys i felt so special for the first time in a long time. Thank you long live Burton.❤ Zeb makes the team a banger.
1000% Zeb Powell! Thank you boss and we are hyped to see you continue to inspire snowboarders everywhere! Much Love! Thank you for making this!
Bruh Zeb was just born with that talent and his parents backed up his dreams and saw it. So proud of the guy!!! I love how raw this video was. Just all feeling and truth. Mad spec!!
Zeb low key made me get all new gear and hitting the snow my first time this year!! Been following him for years now and I’m finally going!!
Two legends right here. Thank you Zeb and thank you Salema! ❤️
I’m not going to lie Selema’s grind was sooo long, that was sick. Zeb’s style is the best.
I started snowboarding in 1987 , and still feel as connected to it as I ever have....and I gotta say, Zeb is on a whole different level....big ups my man 🤙
Sounds like the host wants to focus on race but zeb is just chillen. I think we all know that doesn't matter. If anything it's more about class and your geographical location than what you look like. Zeb's def a huge inspo for me and doing things I didn't think were possible.
Man I was just fortunate enough to meet Zeb this passed weekend at the Meka Rail Jam in Denver and he is such an authentic, inspiring dude. I got to take a selfie with him and he's such a down to Earth athlete. Would love to run into him again on a mountain! I've always been interested in snowboarding but Zeb really inspired me to take the leap.
Never thought about the skin colour of Zeb before this clip. Awensome rider with a unique style and an inspiration to kids (and adults) regardless of race.👌🏻
Super excited for the new wave of diversity thats going to come from Zeb, the mountains are an amazing place that so many people are missing out on
Zeb is the truth! 💪🏾🏂
Selema with that long ass 50-50.. There's nobody like Zeb, he's incredibly good with the kids, always patient, never too busy for a selfie or a high five.
He’s just insanely talented, he’s athlete with the right attitude, I bet he could be the best at any sport he chose to focus on, lucky for us snowboarders he chose this!!!
Zeb without a question has moved mountains (pun intended) in the world of snowboarding, arguably more than any other rider in the last 15 years or so (if ever, honestly…) in terms of bringing such a new generations and culture into the snowboarding community! Not to mention, he is also one of the greatest snowboarders, personality, and infectious charisma to just watch, let alone be around… I wish that man nothing but the absolute best and all the success in the world to keep progressing his story and what he continues to do for snowboarding! Much love my dude!
Loved his Bojangles shirt !! It’s Bo time baby!!
That was dope zeb is definitely one of the snowboarders that got me like we on the mountain let's go. I snowboard now and it's lit...
Ah man love zeb, need to do so much more of people of different colour to get into the sport
I think the key of his style is he blends some of street dance moves into the snowboarding, these moves could be unnecessary for the tricks, which cause him nearly to fall, but he can always corrects his core balance before the fall, which makes so unique. When people see that moves, wow that is so cool.
Zeb is on another level of snowboarding. He makes impact all over the world! Thank you, Selema for showing us his talent! Greetings from Ukraine ♥️
legend.
we all love zeb!!! give us more zeb!!!
I was inspire to snowboard when I saw movie with Devun walsh and jeremy jones as a kid. Im korean. Zeb is great snowboard is all i see.
Such an inspiration to so many. Best style, best Attitude and vibe. Easily my favorite Snowboarder by far🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you!
The most creative snowboarder ever
Your name will echo through history m8. Not purely do to your background but because of your immense talent. Plus, literally till the end of time ppl will know your knuckle hucking. What an inspiration.
Also you did not learn that style you created it.
Zeb and Selena are an epic duo and Zeb is by far the steeziest man alive at the moment
I remember watching it was epic watching him get down at Xgames
As a white male snowboarder, I want more black people to learn!! That is a huge healing bridge and I would love to carve next to you and other fellow black riders!
Absolute Legends
Hey Selema I watched your Burton video with Zeb Powell and I wanted to say y’all are doing great things ima African American snowboarder and I wanna go pro but I live in Texas so my chances aren’t so high but I wanna show the world no matter where your from you can do it I’ve been snowboarding for 3 years and prob get like 3 days a year depending on our budget but I love it and wanna show the world
Same January will mark my fourth year boarding in Cali. And i can’t get enough!!!
Call it “Black Country “ now
How you gonna progress if you only ride 3 days a year. Trampoline and skating can only train you so much.
This video makes me proud to be a vermonter and snowboard my whole life
I love watching the OG’s do their thing. Learn so much just sitting back and watching the work 🤟🏼
my guy riding that old school banana magic! i still ride that to this day! nicest board design to date!
I could watch a weekly Zeb update 😎
We’re fucking HERE! I’ve dealt with so much discrimination on the mountain as a black snowboarder. This video gives me so much inspo i can’t wait for this next season
nice work Burton. Someone should do a piece on Selema too, would be cool to see some of his journey
This is just beautiful to see, on every level. Zeb so definitely inspiring, would love to bump into him on the mountain one day.
Honestly zeb is the face of snowboarding today. And he slays it
Zeb is such a genuine dude.. 100 percent just loves the sport
Thank you! Snowboarding fkn rules!
Oh man, I hope you do an episode with little LJ! We watched him blossom at our home mountain in the Poconos. It's been awesome to watch him continue to crush it.
Bad Ass.. Love seeing the sport I love pushed forward with love.
Been watching him since that first x games and it never really occured to me that he is one of the only dark skinned people at that level. It's weird but it also makes a lot of sense. In this sport and culture we were and are all just having fun no one paid attention to the identity politic bs. Like Zeb said sometimes it tskes winning a gold and having people tell you "hey you are a black dude doing this thats awesome" to even realize it!
Zeb can only compete at knucklehuck, he doesn't do big air, slope style or half pipe. He would do a rail jam.
Tearing up here. Such an important video for snowboarding man.
love zeb
Shout out to Zeb! Huge inspiration!
Very cool!! One of a kind you are Zeb!
"We're fucking here" 8:58 PREACH Let Em Know
You guys are here too? Yeah we’re fucking here 😂 i felt that
This is really really great!
So inspiring!! The Best!!
He truly is a gem from our wonderful state!! Good to see a little back country, even if it was at the end.
I love this guy!!! 🫶🏻
Watching him ride is so much fun 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Mexican here, burton everything started the same year he got gold! And i meet Zeb at big snow. Missed an opportunity for an autograph to busy chit chating with the man in the lift line
So sick everyone, amazing work. I think a little Ben Hinkley doc would be sick. Some of those days were rough.
Awesome on every level
I couldn't care less about what colour, shape or breed Zeb. What he did at 7:12 makes me proud to be a part of his race, which is a human being 🤘
Zeb is that guy
ZEB! Cant wait to hit the slopes this year!
So nice to see. I was one of those kids like, we here!
