Snowboarding Tips : Falling Leaf on a Snowboard

[zacheyp]

Falling leaf isnt something to learn on a snowboard, its what you do if you dont have control over what your doing. Learn to turn to slow down, the only time you should do this is if you have no other way of getting down the hill. Dont learn this, lear to carve.

[DrSanjayRape]

i looked up some vids of her snowboarding and she rips pretty hard search "Melissa Evans Taking A Few Runs at the snowboard rail jam in Venice Beach, California "

[cuuliu]

YOUTUBE IS SLOW AS HELL, THIS SUCKS

[Dman4BA]

i googled "useless videos" and it took me to this video.

[2004kam]

I know a girl who looks and sounds just like her. Except she doesn't snowboard.

[kkyzaa]

@2004kam NO WAY! thats awesome.

[2004kam]

@kkyzaa I tried posting the photobucket link for you, but youtube won't let me do it. 

[CMR1188]

This is actually how I taught myself how to snowboard because the lesson I took was completely useless.

[caileydawnosaur]

What brand jacket is she wearing, anyone know?

[maxtran2005]

@caileydawnosaur probably burton cuz it looks similar to burton avenue

[MNboardride420]

I'd do her

[B0NB0NG]

i hate people who snowboard like this and take up the entire mountain

[Red1676]

@B0NB0NG grow balls dude. they are learning, you were probably the same. any ways maybe if you were not on the bunny hill, there would be less of them. HAHAHA!

[MisTaHTaKi]

thats the only way i can snowboard lol

[zdfgnng]

@MisTaHTaKi me too LOL :))

[Mondochace]

@MisTaHTaKi that just means ur a fail

[MrHello455]

@MisTaHTaKi then that is not snowboarding now is it?

[dogjohnny]

cute girl - sexy voice - nice tips

[basicsllyawesome]

he voice really is annoying couldnt they have picked another person

[newcms06]

hey i thought her voice is cute

[DarkKnightOwnU88]

iosn't this also called pengilum?

[yoairsofter]

they get everything wrong. they called a butter a wheelie

[ajodercabron]

need some advice to get a snow board I'm 5-8

[dirtbikedude9]

@ajodercabron im 5 10 and went to a snowboard place yesterday. ive been riding for 11 years. just bought a 163. when i was 5 8 i was riding a 153. it really also depends a lot on your wieght. try to get it to stand up near your chin or nose. check the flex of it, how far the stance is and try to see if they have a weight chart on the board (ususaly on the back if it) and make sure its wide enough you wont get toe drag (thats a bummer always)

[Bulanabc]

get a life!a real one!

[iromrs]

you guys keep on saying shes cute this shes cute that, I can't see her face! is there a HD version of this that I'm missing? O.O

[Popeletka]

1.08-1.24 listen to those exhales every time she switch))

[snir12121]

you are hot =]

[16rs]

no even

[Chrip18]

Her voice is really annoying

[StonersChannel]

Woah... She's beautiful lol!

[Jerzy777]

dude i was just gonna write that

[MultiShifties]

I think more people watch this video to watch her sound silly than to actually learn something from her. (P.S. I just LOOOOVE her pronunciation. It's so funny.)

[usnavy0930]

I love the way she says perfect at the end!

[startingsprinter]

GO BACK TO GREEN

[hollandproductions11]

i hate leafers...they make everythign icy and harder for experts.. it makes me so mad i hate them

[brandomar1]

At least they're putting an effort to improve their snowboarding skills. I don't mind them unless there's a lot of them blocking everyone's path.

[brandomar1]

Also when they get tired and decide to sit down obstructing traffic.

[pbgeegee]

you were once one brah

[ahadriz]

@pbgeegee you are absolutely right , they talkin like their moms just throw them with ski-boarding lol

[123kionj]

they realy make snowboarding sound hard, its very simple

[regulatorzone]

she's got a sexy voice..like a pornstar voice..almost like cherokee, and that one sounds like mickey mouse ROFL

[yo123465]

lol

[HICHRISTOPHERRR]

@regulatorzone

LOL

[Sqawvboarding]

I don't see how u improve from falling leafs... I see begginers doing that...They do the little stopping thing then they go regular...then the stop then they go goofy??? what.....I just say to them learn how to turn cuz one time i tried the falling leaf my heal heart like a mother and i was going at a great top speed of 2 miles per hour

[denicpetar]

she have 3 voices

[stuvz86]

im pro, advanced and i like to rip, steve is my name im the playah on da whitest mountainz and snowboards are my game! i float down the whole mountain like jesus on a mutha F'ing popsickle when i aint jibbin the sickest stash alleys in carve mountain! i snowplow the gulleys on my plank when i aint be chillin with ma boyz on da park or in the half-a-doobie

[regulatorzone]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Kelz06081984]

@stuvz86 lol...cool lingo

[vampir3blood]

AHHAHAHH the falling leaf hahahahah

what the hell is this now? kung fu?

yes my young grasshoppers use the falling leaf to learn how to rule the snow

ahhahah

[amandorossi]

Be wary young Dragon, the ways of falling leaf may be for noobs, but it is almost as essential as Crouching Rapist or Sneaking Panther.

But not as useful as Irritatable Sloth.

[freebird199]

is it almost the same as surfing? i think ill be okay if it is

[Hourlyanime]

ITS CALLED PENDULUM!

[yanksfan2618]

ha, I think that if you feel you need to watch videos, you need a lesson. If you don't, then you're enough of an athlete to pick it up.

[kmart20711]

If I was EVER on a chairlift with this chick........ I'd push her off over jagged rocks.

[bucket34]

Can you throw her on to me, I'd be happy with that falling on top of me.

[chesternaire242]

is carving on a snowboard like carving on a skateboard?

[Soowa124]

no it's very hard for a beginner I was riding snowboard today for first time and it was like ten times down the 50m hill and all I was doing good was riding down ^^

[TehNoobinShow]

They've got some weird terms...

[DogPooTV]

switchen halt...

[puckplaya]

hey ive been snowboarding for 9 years now and have taught 13 people how to snowboard. Do practice your edges cause if your not familiar with your edges you can easily cut an edge and fall. if you need any more help with snowboarding send me message asking what you want to know.

[envyme27]

Wow at the comments! Not everyone can get out on a hill and just ride straight down or know how to carve. This is a very easy way to learn the feeling of being on a snowboard, and very helpful for a beginner.

Honestly, if you don't find it helpful because you're soooo advanced, move on!

[SMCNI1968]

:) that is the life of the keyboard kommando, criticising others from the safety of your own home!

[sonia1234321]

I think that's called a "pendulum".

[ToiletsInJapan]

somebody please buy her a pair of cloves!!!

[napydred]

i snowboarded for the first time today a was doing this toe side pretty well, backside goofy was harder. One tip that doesn't get covered much or emphasized enough in these newbie vids is how important edges are when concerning busting ass

[WoWcheese]

hey everyone had to start somewhere....fags

[Chappynumber2]

i had one lesson for snowboarding, quit the first 15 minuts and learnded by my self, its way easier. no one can teach u to snowboard, they may help but its something u have to do by ur self

[skateman96]

i don't think falling leaf should be taught. Just teach heel and toe edge.

[sk8itup22]

"falling leaf" HA

thats for people who cant carve toe edge

if u cant carve both ways, learn before u ride

otherwise u will look like a fag, poser, and dumbass

[mavrockk7]

shut up!

you all know you were doing this in your first day... or something very similar

Every person in the world sucked butt on their first day of boarding. even pros! maybe some people more than others, but no one in their beginning days were taking huge carves or slashing huge rooster tails in pow. not happening!

[636lover]

Sk8itup: Plus this is PART of how you SLOW yourself down to a stop or "speed check" before taking off on a jump. If you didn't learn to use ALL sides (edges) of the board (heel, toe, nose, and tail) you'd never be able to stop! 0_0 This is a great way to get used to finding your balance point too. Not all of us have insurance that pays 4 us flying down a hill b/c we were 2 COOL to start slow. I hate when people get a little experience under their belt and forget where they came from. Don't you?

[imonthefirstsix]

lmao i tried snowboarding yesterday and i cant carve heel side with my left foot forward but i can carve both ways with toe edge its so much easier

[g34reynolds]

Learn before you ride, someone please explain to me how this is done, do you sit in your living room and simulate carving, sk8itup22 you are the fag, poser, and dumbass, everyone starts out this way. The only way to learn how to go toe side and heal side is to ride.

[BCpuma7]

there cant seriously be a name for this it isnt even snowboarding

[kevinpmil]

great explanation. Good tip.

[msizzley69]

wow. are you kidding me? i didn't know this had a name...i thought it was just for people too scared to go straight down wahahahahha

[Steamboatwilly1928]

THIS MAKES M E WANT TO COMMIT SUSICIDE

[chefboy94]

i love how i never had more than one lesson and i SUCKED. then i got in ski club two years later when i was old enough, and pretty much did everything in the tutorials online like this. i didnt even realize i was doing something like this. if you practice, everything pretty much just comes naturally

[namtziglaa]

thanks girlfriend that helped me a bit

[almost3130]

you say heel side edge like 2 milloin times

[basebalcatchr13]

but she's pretty!

[nappyman123456789]

asshole

[Incompetent999]

You always sound like you're out of breath

[biocysm]

Instead, learn how to turn back and forth on your toe and healsides, the "cross over" turn. After that, learn the "cross under" turn.

[dreammirage1]

wow you have a name very everything lol

[joshlee013]

u r terrible
