My Gear List

You just made every intermediate riders day with this video

[alynjones]

I love how you completely washed that skier out at 6:25 and then his friend did it to him right after again just for fun.

These are maybe intermediate qualities if you ask me. Advanced makes you see opportunities to get jumps in knowing you can slow down. To be able to straight lining to save energy in places others have to make turns to stay in control. For intermediate riding I agree with all in the video :)

It's crazy that you're still pumping out these quality videos over the years. I remember watching your videos years ago when I first started snowboarding. I decided to check in again because one of my friends was learning to snowboard and I wanted to share your videos as a resource. Thanks for all your awesome vids!

I’m 62.
I’ve been riding for 40 years.
I can do all this.
I guess I’m an advanced snowboarder 😂.
I just want some deeper pow that’s all.
Japan next year 🤞
Love your channel, thanks for the tips!

As an Australian, I feel like you're a advanced snowboarder if you can do so this on ice/ ice bottom layer or fake snow 😂😅
snowboarding on powder is so much easier, you can send it without fear of breaking your wrists or collarbone if you fall haha

[eightyeightfiveoh]

You're only advanced if your Clews eject you from your snowboard while you're riding. Only then do you know you're riding advanced enough.

On a serious note, another advanced skill less talked about is riders with great situational awareness, that don't ride as if they have horse blinders on. Keep tabs on your surroundings, behind too.

As a rider that started in the 80's it is strange to me to hear all the verbal descriptions... We didn't have YouTube... 😁

[shabzone]

just rewatched the part where you sprayed the skiers 5 times lol

[nrttra]

I love your videos. I can't wait to try p out all your tips. Everything you explain seems right on point. I look forward to all new vids

[sassychang]

Riding icy moguls is a whole different level of skill lol.

[MrBraceface]

You’re loving that John Paul side at Snowbasin🙌🏼

[jordanyim]

These r def just intermediate skills tht everyone should be able to do

[rappy]

I love hearing the sound of actual snow spraying on those turns, its its granulated snow here mostly and hearing that solid ice base scraping on every turn. Woo east(ice)coast

[Soxx]

thanks for this video.... it gives me a better idea on what skills I need to work on .... Appreciate that...

[blazedell]

Snowbasin on showcase! Very nice! I was probably riding there that day.

[wildthc_plant]

A real expert just gonna ride that traverse switch to avoid having to traverse on your heels

[sirinaydin]

It is amazing to watch this kind of snow boarding.

[thijsvanhasselt]

In my eyes you’re advanced when you know when and how to apply which technique. Using a mix of carving (using several ways to initiate the turn) and gripped turns, down and up unweighted turns and torsional/knee steering. Curious to know if anyone knows more advanced techniques than what I just mentioned :)

Awesome video! Next do expert level rider and levels of freestyle riders as well.
