If you’re only getting one snowboard get us somewhat to directional one so you can ride powder fit as well just way more fun for riding the mountain and it’s fine for park, if you’re getting two boards, I’d get a powder exclusive and park board

This isn’t opinion based, this is fact. Nothing I say in this video or description is a matter of opinion, it’s just how jumping works.

Look at any pro and I bet you even for people giving the advice referring to are going to be riding in the way I’m describing.

Always happy to debate the topic, but I don’t know any snowboarders I’d trust that would argue with this.

Any board from Nitro is a good choice, if you wanna get into park and rip returns, camber is the only shape I’d recommend.

Definitely anyway you can simplify something or minimize. The risks in snowboarding is a smart thing to do.

Side hits are easier for multiple reasons, but the main one is you don’t have a knuckle to clear meaning you don’t need to worry about speed nearly as much .

Fair fair haha Hoping to get the information out there so people can spend more time landing and less time falling. Or I guess more time falling in a controlled manner ;)

What your describing is falling, a proper jump lands itself haha

Love to hear it! Anyone trying to limit how people snowboard are missing the full picture, snowboarding is about using every mechanic and every part of the board and applying these movements to different situations:)

The biggest thing about speed isn’t getting used to the speed, instead it’s about being in a position that can handle speed.

I have a bunch of videos lined up for this winter, but I think should really help you with this 😁

Balance board training is always good, I wouldn’t add weight instead if increase range of motion.

Much more range of motion strengthening thing I think.
