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!

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

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

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”

[pdizzle]

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

I'd whished my swiss cousing taught me how to snowboard like this 21 years ago. They would just simply tell me "see you at the end of the track". I learned the hard way, but it was fun. Next week I will go snowboarding again after 21 years.

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

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

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.

[hudsongama]

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

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.

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

[SirSmokeAlot]

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!

[zakmiller]

Jeans, no gloves, no goggles. Deff good candidate for beginners video. Your a good guy my friend. Keep it up.

[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

[birdman]

So hey, I’m a 47 yr old guy that knows how to ski, decided snowboarding looked fun, so bought a used board and new boots on a whim.

Watched this vid and spent an hour and a half on the bunny hill the next day. G2G
Day after that, did six runs down the big hills, green and blue, no black diamonds.
The lessons are legit! Thanks man.
