[PLURolling]

@hippieswithpeace they dont have snowboard patrollers on legitimate resorts because there more likely to go under in an avy ;) this is one lucky boarder!

hes obviously a fairly novice snowboarder what the fuck was he thinking playing in that kind of terrain

[snelso80]

@justgiver91 Skill level doesn't save you from an avalanche once you are caught in one. Luck does.

[WO0Tz0r]

[chasingamy77]

@Tonydamexican58 not exactly...

[TheOsujunkie]

I'm still trying to figure out how he didn"t run into the rock wall.

[Tonydamexican58]

RIP ): Its tragic to see someone die like that on film.

[LaunchedFilms]

?? dude just look at the title, no one died lol

[rsplamen]

um..... nobody died he got up and laughed

[acousticxjen]

cant really see what happaned...looked cold though.

[entropyness]

skateboarding is harder.

[14marshl]

BullShit

[entropyness]

Snowboarding is easier than skateboarding.

[WooDpenis]

yup.. cant skate for shit.. but i can shred pretty good on a snowboard...

[rsplamen]

lol are u kidding? skatebordin is alot easyer

[entropyness]

Skateboarding is one of the most, if not the most technical physical activities on the planet. The only thing comparable is Martial Arts. Have a nice day. Thank you for your cooperation.

[hannahfan007]

But this isn't skateboarding...

[schawn973]

Skateboarding is nothing like snowboarding. wheels on paved streets vs board on ice/snow strapped on your feet. i do both +long boarding and the only thing that thay do have in common is they all take a great deal of balance and thats where it ends.

[Axcelaration]

so if you can longboard can you snowboard, or is it the other way around - cause i longboard and wanna try snowboarding

[xNemesystemx]

I've done both. As a matter of fact just got back from a 2 hr parking garage ses. They're a little diff, but knowing one will def help with the other.

[VegimightSamich]

@schawn973 umm there both boards and the general movement is the same along with the balancing involved. So just chill out.

[Nonniemayrox]

learn to ride you slovakian scumbag

[rsplamen]

haha no........

[wdp11683]

whoooo lol

[cruizing32]

@TrollManiac note the the title say "survives"

[seanyj04]

does he look dead to you ?

[syst3m08]

he pwned that avalanche.

[GunfireGangster]

He actually said fuck yeah!! in lol... i saw it in a other video

[triFeral]

you mind linking me to that?

[HowNiceWasIt]

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" - Snowboarder in Avalanche.

[duculetu88]

fake/gay

[MarkG45]

AP censors its "raw" videos

[chr1sj2008]

he he sweet more fresh powder

[MaicoMoon]

Bleeping out foreign cuss words? WTF?

[WTF00912]

foreign? so there's no possibility that slovakians may watch this video?

[WTFGiordan]

well he was in an avalanche so it might be alittle hard to hold the camera still

[eLLriDe420]

die

[napkin74]

@WTFGiordan he coulda atleat tried tho

[robayone]

@WTFGiordan

camera on helmet dude!

[robayone]

@WTFGiordan

camera on helmet dude!

[MegaStyler]

@WTFGiordan perhaps he had a band around his hand so he couldnt lose the cam :D

[funman2100]

@WTFGiordan hat cam or chest cam

[chinacat22]

Next time he needs to hold the camera stiller. That vid was too shaky.

[RitzBitzRavager]

@morph995 I'm sure those were pure reactive smiles to the fact they survived that. If you hear him before you see his face, he doesn't sound very happy at all.

[nwyrkb1]

what j\kind of drug adict are you to think that all that snow is cocaine??

[Jonathanh1986]

The words that was bleeped out were, "FUCK YOU MOTHER NATURE !" LOL

[Corpucle]

@morph995 are you stupid? They are happy becaus theay are alive.....

[whorebucks]

what a story to tell.

[alesanaisamazing1]

antoshkaaa101 lol

[meesh11p]

well that was fun, it was like we were in da avalanche :D

[2tallbrandon]

if you get caught in an avalanche try to swim to stay on top of it... or once it is stopped and you are burried... make a hole and spit to see what way is up before you start digging...

[elkotajs]

to: 2tallbrandon BULLSHIT.. go try it yourself.. if you are caught in avalanche, and you and your friends have the equipment and everybody knows how to use it, than you have a chance, otherwise you are dead..

[msfootball66]

wow, i never thought of that. thats crazy

[Ryuzaki10101]

@2tallbrandon when you get buried under an avalanche it doesn't matter which way is up, its packed so tightly its like being in concrete, you need help getting out.

[2tallbrandon]

@Ryuzaki10101 .....Really? if your upside down and panic digging deeper; cause it is easier to dig down then up, you just made things worse... spitting is the only way you can determine which way is up. not to mention if you plan to hit terrain that is prone to sliding ALWAYS carry an E-tool or equiv, GPS beacon, insta heat pack these things may save your life!

Concrete? not in my experience, and I've been buried more then once. CA, WY, CO, but never been anywhere like the alps or Alaska.

[Sweewolf]

@2tallbrandon

That's a piece of good advice :)

[kjholumn1]

@2tallbrandon I really hope your post is a joke! Im calling yah out.....you have no idea what your talking about and i dont mean start an argument but you couldnt really think you could put some bullshit on here and really expect someone not to see it and say something.

[2tallbrandon]

@kjholumn1 well... I lived in laramie Wyoming 7200ft elevation snow 6 months out the year, and was on team at squa valley when i was in high school, done multiple heli trips in oregon outside of mt hood... and yes Been in a few small slides... The one in this video is larger then what I have been in, but if you watch enough TV im sure you have seen the series on discovery about surviving avalanches. this same advice was in there. so... Thanks, Happy New Year : P

[thirteenfingers]

@2tallbrandon People who've been buried all tell the same story.

Once it stops you can't move... at all. When even your fingers are cemented in place by the rapidly hardening snow there's no way in hell you'll be able to dig.

Fight to get to the edges of the slide... fight to stay afloat... fight like hell to keep some room around your chest and face so you can breathe and then settle in and wait for your buddies... because you're not getting out without them unless you're right at the surface.

[2tallbrandon]

@thirteenfingers

I agree to fight like hell to stay on top. In my opinion it kinda felt like a swimming motion.

This is true, getting buried deep with your limbs stuck out, your pretty screwed...

If you can manage to dig, the first thing you need to do is figure out which way is up...

Spitting is the best I can come up with.

The worst time I was buried it was only about 3 feet in powder to my head and another 3 to my board... It took me about 30 minutes to get out.

Never said it was easy.

[thirteenfingers]

@2tallbrandon Swimming - exactly how everyone is taught to do it... strange that the only people it seems to keep on the surface are those who wouldn't have been buried anyway. I wonder how effective it really is.

True, if you can dig, finding "up" is important... but frankly, you're lucky to have been able to move at all, let alone dig out and not be anchored by your board. Most seem to report it being impossible to keep limbs close in or mouth clear.

Plan A is: ride with buddies who can dig.

[2tallbrandon]

@thirteenfingers

Agreed!

Never go out in the back country, hiking bowls alone.

But sometimes you do get split up, and plan B is a distress beacon... If you can get to it... And not to mention afford one...

[bomberman0r]

@2tallbrandon what about you can't move anything, if you are burried :s

[nrwtube]

@2tallbrandon avalanche debris is like cement and you will probably not be able to dig yourself out

[nrwtube]

@2tallbrandon avalanche debris is like cement and you will probably not be able to dig yourself out

[2tallbrandon]

@nrwtube Depends on the conditions, but yes in a worse case scenario when its thick tumbling chunks of snow covered ice... and you manage to survive the initial impact, moving may be rather difficult and digging probably impossible... But in the right conditions, it may prove to be more of a hassle then anything... A very humbling hassle but still a pain. Its not fun to dig your self out. Like I said before, I never said it was easy...

[daglowsac]

@2tallbrandon thats probably one of the dumbest things i've heard. scary thing is that is has so many likes. THIS WILL NOT WORK.

[2tallbrandon]

@daglowsac Go to a winter survival class, anywhere and this is what they will tell you. Navy, Search & Rescue, hell even those pointless specials on surviving avalanches have all said the same thing. Seeing as how I have been in more then 1 slide and this is what I did.. And I am still alive... I'd say it works just fine. Sure conditions are everything, 1 ton slabs of ice falling down a mountain, yeah your pretty screwed, but if the powder beneath you is sliding like in this video, it will work

[Feylihn]

@2tallbrandon It ain't easy to swim on top of it while you're in full gear and with bindings on. In soft powder, you only get deeper the more you struggle in that shit.

[Hardcoreliefhebber]

@Feylihn that's the fucked up part of powder. But wel.. Invest in yourself for the normal freeriding i have got  my normal avalance gear. And for the hardcore shit i got myself a ABS backpack! That shit really works!

[DestAIDS]

Keep trying avalanche!

[Antoshkaaa101]

THATS A WHOLE LOT OF COCAINE

[BertGriffin88]

This snowboarder, after surviving the degree of difficulty by avlanche, should not be beeped. He should also take this as a wake up call from the mountain. Sometimes you get the mountain of snow & sometimes the mountain of snow gets you. Lucky, lucky boy. The moral of the story is - don't beep with Mother Nature.

[Gandhiablo]

Good camera

Better luck next time avalanche

[tchanabc]

@grit123 what the hell are you talking about?

[BClocals]

So lucky that rock edge did not crush him.

I want some snow like that ;(

[muuraa1]

which "PEOPLE" are you addressing to?
