Snowboarding for Beginners : Gliding Away From Lift Chair in Snowboarding

[texasjac01]

The first time I got off a chair lift, I face planted and the lift had to be shut down.

[Saucetin11]

I hate when people grab you when gliding off the chair cause they dont wanna fall, it is so annoying

[ThatDrummerTim]

so ive been watching these videos, and turning is pretty much like skateboarding. just put youre bodys weight with it.

[666BurningHate]

how hard is it to find a decent snowboard lesson on youtube, it's not for me but my friend is going from ski to snowboard, so i wanna be able to help him learn :P

[ReviewMan88]

0:25 are you kidding me....nice example

[jml816]

0:24 - 0:31 ..play it with the Jaws theme song.

[beachchickXx3]

where's the chair lift mentioned in the title? just wondering.....

[Jsin10921]

doing that in the middle of a hill is much less embarring than falling off a lift

[Grannyquickster]

why didnt he actually do a demonstration of getting off a ski lift?

[Jsin10921]

@Grannyquickster because like 50% of the ppl watching this video he still falls getting off it too

[sarvelaj]

im going up later today for the first time and i know im going to eat shit getting off of the lift. oh gawd.. lolols

[TheLaxboy2]

when your regular you strap your right foot in right???

[aznpopjon]

@TheLaxboy2

strap your left foot in. skate using your right foot.

regular=left foot foward goofy=right foot foward

[ThePurpleDegree]

hahaha the first 2 numbers of the view count is 69

[jusfuknwidya]

ahh thats what i dont wrong i was watching the tree i was about to hit..

[chasingamy77]

mother f i've been snowboarding for 16 years....no problems....no problems getting off lifts...UNLESS i am the middle person in a three person chair. don't know what the f it is...some mental block...but now i've killed my knee being stupid on a stupid chair lift and there is no pow for amy until next year!!!.....lol whiney enough for ya?

[bloodydude84]

Lol i did that 2 my friend and i pushed em down 2 haha

[fs0412]

haha, LOL.-ilikegrass990. Might do that.

[snowyphil65]

yea left is on the nose, the front is the nose the rear is the tail, most park boards are symmetrical so theres no difference between nose and tail however carveboards and powderboards are usually different at the tip and tail

[ilikegrass990]

hahah when i first started i would just use my friends for balance and i always ended up pushing them down

[soooTyLeR]

@ilikegrass990 hahahahaha omg! the 1st time me and my gf and our friends went she tried to grab me off the lift and i just pushed away and she grabbed my friend and got dragged it was so funny.

[therealreporter]

I always fall of the ramp when i get off the chairlift because there is a small turn i have to make, and if i juist go straight down i land in a forest. :D but this should help me, i cant wait till my ski area is opened!!

[WRLondon]

Lol

i love watching people getting of a chair lift :p

[heshewatever]

dose pre knoeledge with balance with skatebords help?......cuz im goin skiing/snowboarding and i was just curious

[snowyphil65]

turning is alot different. once you start to pick up the feeling of letting the backside of the board glide out to turn you can edge the board and carve a turn which is supposed to be similar to skating... ive always sucked at skating but im alright at snowboarding... but im a wakeboarder and its pretty close to snowboarding... exept your weight is on the front for snowboarding and back for wakeboarding. From what ive heard skaters can pick up snowboarding pretty quick

[troidberg]

Actually i'm a skater and in my first day of snowboard i did a 360, i was embarsed beacasue i coudnt change direction, brake, slow down or pick up speed so i'm like: **** that i'm doing 360.

[snowyphil65]

haha... yea its something different for sure, i had no problem snowboarding sunday when i went, like i said its all in how you use your edges, let it slide out then tip on your toes or heels to dig in the edge and slow down. level it out to speed up keep your weight mostly up front to let the back slide out to turn or slow down, keep your weight even and bend your knees quickly while keeping whats above your knees inline to carve toeside and stick your ass out (basically) to carve heelside

[MikeMcSwizzle]

hey mannie fresh dont worry about the board im sure if its new it'll hold up so buy crash pads and have fun *buy go for instructions too though*

[XBTechno]

youtube rox... free lessons!

[Yavhanax]

well tried to take it with a foot off 4 times, and fell, then i took it twice in a row with a foot in without any problem.

[yuitrrew]
