How to Buy a Snowboard & Snowboarding Equipment : How to Choose a Freestyle Snowboard

[putzmitt3l]

but many people say that the board must be somewhere between chin and nose ?

so which is correct ?.... have a board already that fits the current description (not bought... more or less a present) :D and I'm just starting out and want to know should I switch it up or is it a good height for a beginner ??? gonna test it this weekend for the first time, and would be glad to take a tip or 2 before that :D

[iFailz34]

are you okay?

[skyman176]

i find it funny how he uses the term "squirrly " lol

[56retoocs]

board sizing dont rly have much to do with your height! its more about your weight, becuase your weight is pushing/flexing the board, not ur hieght

[YetimoTV]

I think he's nervous

[weidman513]

pretty much he told me to ask the guy in the shop

[alexclap156]

awkward pause at 0:40

[BlaowBeats]

i want to start snowboarding. PLEASE let me know what kind of gear to get? for a beginner? im 5'7 and 130lbs idk if that matters but ya. message me

[Nicknawk]

@BlaowBeats get snowboard boots that r snug in ur feet but not too loose but not too tight, something that feels comfortable. then u gotta choose a board wat this guy said in the vid. after that all u need is any gloves, hat, snowpants, and jacket and u can go.

[AnthraxB0y]

For the newbies. I started on a 133 burton chopper, when i was 5'7. It was a lot easier to control than my 155. if you start on a small board it isnt bad jus do what feels right. as long as it feels good.

[nailface09]

so i watched a video 2 mins long and all he told me is that it is the same nose and tail

[simsim646]

I bought a snowboard thats up to my eyes, a month ago....... oh crap

[doubletime16]

It's impossible for a board to be too squirrely, being squirrely is a description of the rider, not their board. Lingo is cool but use it right in your videos.

[YouTabacco]

can you imagine how many times this guy hit his head skate- snow- boarding. I think these videos are great advice - so thanks expertvillage

[SoccerBoots100]

can someone help me out. i want to buy a snowboard but i dont know what to do. im 5'11 and i have a size10 foot

[Silv3rPlanet]

@SoccerBoots100 ok so ur board should be around 150-160 cm and the bindings dont have spacific sizes but u need bindings that are 9-13 and boots u just take ur size hope this helped

[SoccerBoots100]

@Silv3rPlanet thank you so much

[Silv3rPlanet]

@SoccerBoots100 if u want a site type in the-house

[Askr]

but the height of snowboard depends also on the weight of the rider!!!!!!!!!!!!

[powerzoner]

lol man this was only 2 minutes, why didnt you just do another take after learning how to talk?

[Mickydo2]

@shadow1751 yer

[smallfeet10]

[gwilym94]

[RejectSkateboarding]

[Puffley]

Why are people such assholes?

[EliteGamerTag]

@Puffley yeah i know its like this guy doesnt give sneaches for a living he prolly works at a snowbaord shop

[EliteGamerTag]

@Puffley yeah i know its like this guy doesnt give speaches for a living he prolly works at a snowbaord shop givem a break

[suzybandman]

and Boom goes the dynamite...

[EatFL35H]

forward and....backwards

[The94geenen]

he pretty much says: GO TO THE FREAKING STORE. They'll know it

[Abrahax111]

he is so awkward in front of the camera

[666ThaScarecro666]

wow hes about to have a anxiety attack right here. 

[Satch4lifez]

Heaps of people stutter i do Its natural e who cares

[UncleBen121]

is it just me or is he struggling

[Fallingup899]

@UncleBen121 he stutters. I do the same thing when i stutter. It's a word block. Nothing mental. Just that he thinks fast and can't keep up.

[HaRdCoRePhAn9i6]

i saw someone at northstar today with the same setup! custom board with 09 cartel est bindings! sick setup! i have a '10 ride dh with acid green custom bindings. they match to a tee! :)

[mikegsr94]

I ride GNU 157cm :D i love it

[WatchMeXplode47]

im thinking about getting a board about 159cm and i was wondering if size 12 boots would work or should i go with a wide board

[HaRdCoRePhAn9i6]

i have size 11.5 boots and a 155 board. just make sure you adjust your bindings so your boots sit right in the middle. that way the toes or heels arent sticking way out and you dont drag them in the snow when youre carvin it up!

[g0t5k1llz]

it should work. im using size 12 boots on a 152

[liltimir]

@g0t5k1llz is yours a wide?



[maartenrules]

i want to buy a snowboard but im not really sure what brand to chose. seems as if there are a million brands... im an experienced rider so i do need some quality

[Dpiiiius]

what is powder? sorry im just starting off

[pinkunicorn53]

powder is just snow that hasn't been plowed or patted down with anything. it's basically fresh snow like you would have on the side of a mountain.

[Dpiiiius]

ooohh okay i get it

[Adsa81]

@Dpiiiius Snow

[bennya7x]

fresh snow, soft, and DEEP!!

[theslink92]

powder is dry snow pretty much. you sink quite a bit in powder.

[khk0510]

powder is like really soft snow.

[khk0510]

o mahbad. that question was already answered.

[Fantamanden]

nose and chin, is where you choose your height... (for beginners)

[tamikuki95]

not good this video

[jgcgsgmg]

The burton twin is so sick. Great for park.

[skiskate15]

at :39 he looks at the snowboard like its got a script

[nfs456]

snowboards are sized by weight not by height

[iDiZazTeR]

Sizing is beetween the nose and chin

[pp6times]

yep correctamundo! dont know why you would bad comment this its right!

[KalobLax]

im lookin at a burton custom anygood? reply on my channel

[flarpjr]

hell yeah

burton custom is amazing, only thing better is the custom x... lol

[psuSlipknot]

thats literally like the best board you can buy

[MrTalkingturtle]

yay!

union bindings are awesome,

rossignol snowboards are actually amazing as well

[FreshLevel1000001]

hey my boots hang off my board about 1/2 to 1 inch off please reply its hard to find legitament help

[BukuHaze420]

you need a wider board.....

[tamikuki95]

not good

[HaRdCoRePhAn9i6]

if you havent already troubleshot your problem, you should adjust your bindings back and forth accordingly until your boots are in the middle of your board. a lot of bindings ive seen have holes where you can move the heelcup back a notch or two. just adjust it until it's centered and it should be cush!

[AshesToStars]

wow. these vids suck.

[spenserrr]

word. these are brutal.. but thats typical for expertvillage.

[xbox360schoolgamer23]

@AshesToStars wow you suck

[draco3113]

lib tech snowboards and union bindings all the way!

[PJster4]

how wide should your freestyle snowboard be because i'm looking at a wide board

[dmx952]

which board should i buy im confused ?

[monstermii]

if you want to do tricks get a freestyle cause it eaisier to ride on both sides and it can be used also for regelur downhill and freeride has more nose than tail so its harder to ride swicth and you can basiclly only do downhill i reccomend a freestyle board insteed of freerideboard

[bosciboards]

I'm about 76kgs i have size 13 feet and want a freesyle board..i'm intermediate advanced what board should i get and binding size???

[CalluW]

ok, for bindings you are going to need at least a large, possibly an XL if they feel too small

on the board front, it all depends on personal preference! like which company you like, which size you like to ride, it all factors in. since your level is intermediate/advanced, i would recommend the Burton Custom of Custom 3D *if you don't have EST bindings* or Burtons 'The Hero' , as they are good boards that will help you improve amazingly well and will grow with you. but again, preference

[totallysnowboard]

dude your gonna need a wide board look into a burton clash or bullet

[draco3113]

u should know is you intermediate to advanced

[hightstownhyphy]

im 5 10, 150 pounds, and a size 13 boot... what binding size, snowboard size should i get?!?!

[122333pls]

this is youtube... this is expertvillage... you think they are going to answer you with 138000 videos?

[hightstownhyphy]

you arent funny.

i was asking the public

u think ur smart when your really not

fuck you

douchebad

[122333pls]

im not funny

i know that

i am smart but dont think

ok

bag*

[hightstownhyphy]

arent u the gayest little queer

[rayraytoast]

Don't worry man, I'm not an asshole. I'll help you. you're 150 pounds and 5 10 so you should get a board about 155 - 162 cm long and make sure its a wide board to accommodate you're size boot . get a large binding

[absolumn]

162 is way to big, youl be turning forever with that. altough we need to know more information to answer your question. we need to know: what terrain do you like to ride, where do you want to focus: Pipe riding, rails, jumps, carving, speed, tree riding? a bit of everything? we cant tell you what size to get if we dont know what you gonna do with it ,how big is your home montain? how much powder there is ?

[hightstownhyphy]

well yea i know 162 is big. i do mostly rails and jumps. not much pipe. and no powder around where i live

[absolumn]

ok Then my recommandation is a 153 wide with L-xl Binding. I am precisly 150lbs and 5'10 and ride the same thing as you. but you have tall feet, so you need a wide

[ShokyShrox]

First of all at 5'10 and 150 lbs I can almost guarentee that you are not a size 13 boot. You need to go to your local shop and have an employe measure the size of your foot. You would most likely be on a 152 or a 155 depending on what kind of riding your doing. But boots come first, get that checked out. Your boot should be about the same as your regular shoe size, maybe a half size larger.

[hightstownhyphy]

well it is 13

but if its half a size larger

now my boot size is 13.5

[terroriticus]

not hard to believe. i was 5'8 and 120 pounds with a size 12 foot.

[Macdaddy5539]

There is absolutely no way we can know from that information alone. Do us all a favor and ask a guy at your local REI or other sporting goods store.

[absolumn]

lol omg how can people believe this. what does board lengt as to do with chest and chin???nothing! on the other hand your weight will influence edge hold and board flex. So maybe you should try riding a snowboard yourself before telling people bs like board should go betwen shoulder and chin.

[YmerejAzodnem888]

You're an idiot.

[ellisc123]

its not only height its weight and ability as well n00b

[iipeeepgameii]

its better than sayin.. "uhhh" everytime you're thinkin bout what you're gonna say

[vlorasuma96]

omg i have that brown board behind him

[MorganisBashline]

i like the plaid board behind him

[Pasha812]

effects of abusing drugs LMFAO!

[josephrbeauchamp]

ok anyone here know anything about skating?

[vlorasuma96]

what do you need?

[ImRichJ]

yes buddy, whats up?

[adyle1234]

way to hesitate a lot

[skymilk911]

boring as ****

[skymilk911]

ehh boring like ****

[entity447]

yeah picking out a board based on height is completely wrong. A 5'9" person that weights 150 is going to have different length board compared to someone who is the same height that weighs 200 pounds. Expert Village needs to get real expert advice.

[EmplexProductions]

lol the snowboard in the lower right

[cameronclgn3]

is bad ass

[dwf01234]

this guy is probably a fag

[randomdiamonds]

STUDDERING STANLEY!!

[FrozenNature]

this guys an idiot. picking out a board based on your height is the worst thing you can do.

[Jhc00Gamerdude]

Hey, I'm interested in buying snowboard gear. I was wondering if I am 5'11, im size 12 boot, and my weight is 160 lbs. What are the specs of the snowboard i need to get? Like how long? how wide? etc. Please respond and let me know. Thank you

[scene4eva]

i wud recomend a burton blunt, thos r wide, and pretty good 2, they arent to expensive

[yoyoyoitsadrock12341]

and about size 5' 8'' board

[BillyBobTS]

that all depends dude on the type of riding you like to do and the type of snow you ride like is your area icey most of the time, are you riding groomers?, are you riding pow alot? park?. Anybody who says get this board without actually asking what you ride doesn't know what they're talking about.

[commandomonkey]

your about the same size as me, i have the same size feet, and almost the same hieght. I would reccoment that you get a board that is about 158 cm in length (most boards will have the same width) to turn well, you will need a flexible bourd, but not to flexible, based on your weight you should get a 'medium flexibility' board. dont listen to people saying that you shouldnt get a good quality board because your a noob, go for a burton or a K2. i say K2 is better. K2 is half the price of burton!
