USING TOYS to teach kids snowboarding tricks #snowboarding #teaching

Our friend Duncan in Mammoth was so fun to ride with while we were there! He’s a top level instructor and it’s clear to see why when he know how to adjust his teachings for his audience.

He brought these little Army Snowboard figures to help explain to Cashy how to do tricks. The visual representation along with the fun of the toy seems to click pretty easy for Cashy. That and maybe a ball of snow in her mouth helped her stomp this trick first try!

Cashy’s progression while in ​⁠Mammoth was testament as to why we went there for the month of May to ride. Their Mammoth Unbound parks are so friendly for young riders to get started in the park and progress their skills as well as older advanced riders to push their limits as far as they want. Thanks Mammoth Mountain for such an amazing time!

We have more to share from the month so hope you’re not over snowboard content from us just yet 🤙🏼

Cash casually eating snow while class is in session is adorable

Gotta appreciate dads who ever so gently and steadily teach their daughters to be badasses instead of sheltering them.

and then she learns what 180 means without even trying to

I love the videos when her dad puts a mic on her and she's singing the whole way down. So adorable 💖

"Do you think you could try that?"
Cash: "uh huh" and just does it 👌😂❤️❤️❤️

[jenren]

“Think you can do that?” “MmmmHmmm!”
Awesome Cash!

I love how you can hear all the cheering in the background. It’s probably friends/fam but I think it’s really encouraging strangers lol

Why explain with a hundred words, when an action figure can visually demonstrate it, fixes in Cashy mind exactly what's going to happen. What an amazing teacher 👍

She’s so casually confident! Adorable and very impressive. The person talking to her (dad?) is talking to her in such a professional tone and not down to her. Kudos to everyone making it all happen for the future champion.

[Dragonild]

I love how she’s just casually eating snow 😂

[jeremypayne]

Her mom's voice is the best support. She goes so extra to support her daughter!

[tywilkins]

She’s out there tearing up the powder in a Tutu? 😂 That’s awesome, you go girl!

[FR_Fan]

This shows how much more helpful visual learning is

[belladharma]

Love the snow-cronching while she learns. Everybody likes a snack!

[simonecarey]

She is really... really cleaver... smart young girl.👍💪👏✨🌟⭐❤️🥰🤩 Her parent would be very proud!!!😃🥳
Thank you very much for sharing.🙏

[deborahdanhauer]

She just watches you give her instructions on a new way to do it, shrugs her shoulders like, sure, no big deal. And goes and does something most adults can’t do! Amazing young lady❤️🤗🐝

I’m not even a snowboarder. I used to ski years ago, but I’m going to watch so that when she’s in the Olympics one day I can say I’ve watched her since she was a toddler!

[FernCurtis]

Amazing how fast she catches on/learns and just does it. What a great way to learn. I know it is easier for me to learn visually, especially new things. She is a joy to watch! 💕
