Teaching Complete Beginners How To Snowboard

My Gear List

In this video I teach two stranger to how to snowboard. I saw Z and Ali in the lift line and they asked if I could give them a few tips. Had a great time showing them the basics and I hope they stick with it!

I think this kind of video is much better than just giving some 5 tips for beginners. In here you actually see a beginner's struggles and how they overcome them. That's great. What a petty nobody told the guys to get propper clothing for snowboarding. Amazing, Kevin!

I love the friendship these two share. “Hey bro let’s try snowboarding today” “ok, why not”

"You fail when you Quit. Failure is an event, not a person" -Z .... Honestly.... hit me harder than i thought it would xD

Those guys are super tough for riding as long as they did without gloves, snow pants, goggles, or properly fitted equipment. not to mention they hiked all their runs!! kudos to them, it was awesome seeing the stoke ignite in two new riders :D

Love how you saw someone struggling and spent your day teaching them. I remember my first day on the beginner hill, realizing snowboarding was way harder than I thought and questioned why I was doing it. In the end, watching lots of tutorials (mostly Kevin), I started my second season 2 weeks ago. I’m over 40 so you are never too old to learn if you have good teaching and a lot of patience the first year. 😀

As someone who’s going to try snowboarding for the first Tim this winter I do appreciate the tips for beginners and actually seeing beginners learn. It’s so hard to watch pros try and teach tips because they already know what they are doing. This is way more realistic

Love how you needed to find a newbie so you just found a guy in jeans.

I just want to say what an absolute legend you are. I wish there was more people like you in the world.
I’m a Pakistani and I’ve just started snowboarding and I found your video so so helpful. It doesn’t matter where we’re from, we’re all human, and I love people like you who help anyone regarding race, colour, religion etc. I’m a mountain biker and I help anyone I can in any way I can.
Thank you and god bless you.

Can't thank you enough for putting captions this round. I know it's not the norm but watching this with my wife, who's severely hearing impaired, was really awesome. Caught myself holding back some tears. Really appreciate your videos Kevin!

Best beginner video so far I have seen. Teaching using real beginners. Makes me feel I have a chance to learn.

You need to find these guys again and see how they have progressed

Dude, this act of Kindness goes long ways, great job helping strangers, we got to see where they struggled and see their progression. Subscribed and Kudos to you brother! Keep them coming!

[hudsongama]

Loved it! Dedicating your time to help strangers is really an act to be praised.

I love this so much, really shows how friendly people can be on the slopes. I'm 36 and have never done anything like this but in 2 days i'm gonna try snowboarding for the first time. Seeing this video gives me a lot of courage to not give up. Insane development on these students!

Teaching new riders is one of my favorite things and after 15 years away from it, my son finally let me teach him yesterday. I'm SO excited. Came looking to brush up and get some reminders. This video is perfect. Great teaching and a nice approach!.

"Failure is an event, not a person"
Absolutely based.

[Kat-vwou]

I just went snowboarding for the first time yesterday but failed miserably at stopping. Actually having a visual of you teaching beginners helps so much more when learning what to do, I’m going back this weekend and will use the tips you taught these guys!

[tommy]

Randomly helping strangers. That is most excellent.

I hope this coming winter when I'm going to learn to board there's someone as nice to help when they see me struggling

[MrVincevn]

Taking some friends snowboarding for the first time ever this coming season, this is an excellent example for "what to expect" on their first day

[pcwildcat]

Great teacher. Calm, chill, with simple instructions.
