Riding switch is the key to it all. Improves your regular riding too.
Ty ❤
Riding switch means riding week foot first right?
@@Anwarxthexboss correct
@@DaBluBarron1918 Do you recommend having the same foot angles on the both sides to improve switches equilibrium or not mandatory ?
@@MaxWilson7 it helps for sure. If your learning maybe not so much due to only riding maybe 10-20 % switch through the day. When you get good it’s more 50/50, so you want them same angles.
I like riding switch, it forces your mind to focus more and with that you find yourself getting into the zone quicker, like only snowboard thoughts are in your head zone.
Being a 2nd season rider, these tutorials are very helpful. Will definitely get that membership for next season's progression goals 💪💪💪
You make me feel like a beginner. As we get older we sometimes forget half of what's possible and our ABCs. Love reviewing basics. THANK YOU
Trick: 1 - popping 2 - ollie 3 - getting air 4 - frontside shifty 5 - indie grab 6 - tail butter 7 - 50.50 8 - 50/50 shuffle 9 - frontside 180 10 - switch
As someone who has been resistant to building up my freestyle game, this is super helpful. You’re the man Nev!
Love your videos. I’ve just started on indoor slopes and looking forward to getting out into the mountains next year.
Will do! Thanks!
this was awesome. Thank you
I watch these “first X tricks to learn” thinking I know how to do all of this already but there is always at least one or two tricks that I don’t own and I get humbled real quick!
my training has two of ur tramp boards and one of the slide boards. they have really helped me and my friends to do better on the mountain
I had a bad knee injury as a beginner on the local nylon bristle dry slope age 23 and now at 49 watching these tuition feeds has really got me up to give it another go. In a snow environment, good instructor and a good solid knee brace 👌 Love the channel 👌
Nice to see you again😉👍
Awesome video Nev! Thumbs up!!
great video, would love to see the next 10 tricks
These videos would have been very helpful when I started Riding in the mid -90. It's really cool that you are doing this! 👍
Thanks!
just started this season and was starting to get the hang of it when the season ended :( never been so anxious for winter to come back
Haven’t been able to ride switch in a long time. Been meaning to practice again
This is awesome , great advice for pushing your snowboarding !
Thanks
i have worked at a ski resort for 15 years those are really good tips
Good Job!!!
ive just noticed ive been avoiding switch riding and now i find myself wanting to learn advanced tricks without it🤡🤡. This year I won’t leave without being super confortable on switch. Great vid, Thanks!
Right on! it helps a lot:)
I miss snowboarding already.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻 great video love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻🏴
Thank you!
Cool!
This was solid.
Was the hit of the snow hill! Everyone wanted a turn! Nice long sturdy board and feet cushion area. Felt comfortable for the kids (ages 8-10) and us adults. Adults could see how it was for beginners- hard to really turn it to “steer” down the hill. The kids were more worried about holding the crouched position and not falling off it
Thanks 🙏🦸
3:58 nice butter in the left background 😄
Amazing❤
Thanks 😄
Got the exact same gloves 🎉
I would love to thank you from the bottom of my hearth for such a quality content. Thanks to you I've manage to start my journey with snowboard with confidence. It was marvellous and all the tips were soooo useful.
I like ❤
Wow! Impressive, The the next time i am going to snowboard, im going to try this! Have a nice day sir!
Have fun!
Idk why but with the many tricks that I’ve done. A 50-50 frontside 360 just feels so relaxing and fun for me
Once you are familiar with the movement of a trick. It will become easy
Hi, question if I find myself going off the side of the box at 20 degrees how do I bail to avoid getting hurt? Thanks.⭐..(3ft + box like at the right angle of your shuffle. Things don't always go as planned. Slush slowdown ect.)
Wow... Watching this made me miss Whistler so bad... Always enjoy watching your guides though :)
A fan from France here Hey man I love your videos. I have started watching your videos two months ago with 0 minutes on the slopes. Now I can do carving ! I appreciate your great work and the work of your team. Thanks a lot Your videos on the posture are second to none 👍👍👍 Would you please do a video on the plus minus stance, some people recommend it but I still think that I should always have my shoulders and body aligned with the board.
Nice video! But when you go on the heelside you need to raise the toes up?
1. Popping 2. Ollie 3. Straight air 4. Frontside shifty 5. Indy grab 6. Tail butter 7. 50-50 box 8. 50-50 shuffle 9. Frontside 180 10. Riding switch
my master, I'm here
Great tips! How should I place the bindings angles in order to perform well riding switch?

@@TheJonbonesjones appreciated
Thanks! Very useful! I realise I'm actually better than i thought! And also that I ve been learning all the tricks in a peculiar order... I was sure you d say "riding switch" on the 10th! Hahaha... f**k... you re right. We all know it but just don t want to admit it! Thx
I'm surprised that switch is as late as number 10. I cool thing you can do to practice switching from switch to regular is to spin like a beyblade. It's fun and gets you more comfortable when riding switch since you are confident that you can turn back to regular anytime you want.
Hi thanks for the video, any tip how to pop more than 1mm its really hard for me try to jump feel like the board its to heavy
Yup, you need to learn how to ollie. We cover this in ADDICTION+ Nev does a live training session every week. Come join and he can work with you directly: snowboardaddiction.com/pages/addictionplus-live-sessions
I got a question. This season I’ll be getting into spin jumps. How to correctly and naturally “choose” the edge after landing. As far as I understand depends on which direction your body balance shifts while ending the spin and landing itself then this edge I should be go for on ride out correct ? Even straight jumps landing might be bit unbalanced. My main concern is it better to act accordingly with ride out after land whatever happens in the air like over-rotation or under rotation or should the ride out always be planed beforehand ? I understand totally physics behind getting into the spin (being skateboarder helps) but how to prepare for landing and ride out ? Is there video lesson with this topic by any chance ? Ps. I also understand blind/open landings but wondering how to properly react in under/over rotation situations Cheers

If I want to ride switch should I use a symmetrical stance angle? Or is it still fine to keep it the way it is (mine is +15 -9)
It will be slightly easier to ride switch with a more open stance, you could try +15 -12 and see if that helps you improve your switch riding :)
I cannot ride switch to save my life... I've tried so many times. I'm good on my heel side switch but toe isn't even an option for me yet. It's my first season boarding and I think I've progressed very quickly other than that. Whenever I go to my toe side, I get stuck at that edge and it brings me all the way around and back up hill before losing all my speed. I know once I get this skill down it will unlock so many things for me so I'm determined to get it
okay i never really had lessons but idk why i always found it normal to ride switch, even the first time i did snowboarding i just mixed it up it feels a bit weird yeah but i didnt think it was that di=fficult
Riding switch...soooo important
Question: Wasnt that a backside 180? I skateboard and rotating into the direction of your back is a backside 180. Correct me if im wrong just wanna know the correct terminology. Good vid
The 180 in this video is frontside where you front faces downhill during the spin. You can see downhill the whole time
My first spin was a bs180 I did it with 4 days of experience lol can't wait for next season!
Hi all, maybe someone here can help me from his experience. I am snowboarding for about 5 years now regular. I would consider myself intermediate: I have very good control while carving, no matter how step or flat it gets and I also already tried out first tricks, like ollies, butters, etc. I am currently owning a Nitro Flat Out Rocker with a Directional shape. Do you think I should stick with this board? Or switch to camber or hybrid camber, as it is "limiting" my progress? Thx for the help!
It depends on the kind of riding you do. I'd think that with this kind of profile you'll lose your edge more easily if you do some hard carving; and the pop of the board probably isn't going to be great. I'd say, find a demo day and test out some other boards with different profiles and see how you feel (or find a shop that'll let you demo their boards). My approach has been to not own a board anymore; I own my boots and just rent; there's shops with good boards everywhere now, and it allows to just choose depending on what I want to do.
I learned backside 180s first frontside felt so awkward to me for the longest time
Might just be my skater talking, or just how I do them, but I feel Indies should be grabbed between the legs, yes, but from behind the back knee toward the center. What you did is a front side grab. AGAIN, that could just be me looking at things skater tinted glasses haha
Around the knee is good for certain tweaks, but you want to be able to do between the legs for adding indie grabs to spins:)
Ah I didn't think of spins like that haha
For me the Ollie I learned fast, mainly because at the time I had been skating for 3yr so all my instructor has to tell me is that is was like skateing exept u don’t slide ur feet
Yup skateboarding is a huge help for snowboarding
In terms of learning to ride switch should we set up our board and force yourself to ride switch like it’s our normal side?
Unless your board is very directional you should be fine. Having a twin/twinish board makes it ride nicer, but you can make most boards work. Having a ducked stance will help. Big thing is to just force yourself to ride switch, and get over the fact you're going to look like a complete noob again. Commit to doing a full run switch a couple times a day our, or spending 1/3 of each run switch. If you actually commit to it I promise you'll find it click sooner than you might expect.
@@Tych333 thanks for the advice. My binding angles Front +12 Back -6 make me feel like I don’t have much control on steering while riding switch. I can still just commit to the process. 👌
Is it normal to consider a 180 off a jump "easier" than a shifty? I have had trouble getting the confidence to try a shifty because for whatever reason I am more afraid to catch my edge AND I can't quite get the movement through my head.
Shifty is easier if you have your airs super solid. you need a great pop and arc if you wanna do it proper. so just keep hitting jumps and when that feels easy you will feel the shifty come:)
@@SnowboardAddiction thanks so much. Hitting jumps is starting to feel easy. It is hard to find good jump lines here in the Midwest, but I was working on one this weekend and really got used to it. Need to work on more pop and arc. I just watched your video on better pop off the jumps, I am just a bit ahead of the guy who Nev was teaching.
@@SnowboardAddiction worked on approaching, and landing jumps all season. I finally got comfortable enough in the air and threw my first shifty midflight. Took me a few hundred jumps to finally get that confidence, but it felt amazing!! You were right 🏂
Can I do a all these on my all terrain board
Oh ya!!!
@@SnowboardAddictionty
What mountain is this bachelor, voodoo?
whistler.
@@SnowboardAddiction thanks!
I can do #1 trick 😁
Tried snowboarding for the first time. What’s the trick to making it to the bottom of the run without landing on my face?😅
More time on the snowboard!
What board is that? Is that a Burton Blossom?
Burton Custom
@@tibbytt5503 Thanks
@@tibbytt5503 Is it the flying-v profile? Or the camber?
@@gokhanboybek2647 pretty sure it would be camber, he's referenced riding a camber board before.
Camber o rocker?
Full Camber
My first trick was a broken wrist, I have been skiing for 8 years no injureies first time on snowboard ofcourse something is broken
That sucks, Snowboarding can be hard to get into. But we hope you try again!
@@SnowboardAddiction I will try again with wristguards and knee pads next winter because where I am winter is soon over
The only thing im going to say. Indy isnt between the legs! Proper indy is in the middle but your legs are pushed forward so you dont have an arm between your legs but behind them.
Tweeking out an indy grab by shifting or pushing you weight around is a great way to add style. Having your back hand on your toe edge between your feet without movement is still an indy grab :)
@@SnowboardAddiction we call that a stinkbug, maybe its just a skateboard thing, but i dont mean tweaking, i mean that your leg joint goes infront of the arm, no tweak just the back leg is infront.
Learn all those tricks switch first and after youve nailed them learn them ewith your normal stance.
Que lastima no traduzcan los videos al castellano....
I dont see there how riding switch goes…or i dont understamd it…
Takes a lot of time of switch shredding
@@SnowboardAddiction ah ok i think now i understand it is it that you switch from regular to goofy?
Idk why I’m here I don’t even snowboard
Did you like the video?
@@SnowboardAddiction yeah I’m just watching whatever snowboard/skiing videos I find to get hyped up for the season
The training board is exorbitant. Not worth it. I wonder how many pieces u sold a year.
If you are looking to save money, you can just use a skateboard deck. If you want the best training board then ours is available for $199. You can use your own bindings also if you want to save money. This board is build as tough as a snowboard with expensive materials. Unfortuantely they are not cheap to produce
Why don't snowboarders wear parkas like a down northface or just a down puffier coat that's still durable etc. U see all boarders just wearing jackets that aren't much more then shells with a little Insulation ?? I'm a boarder and I wear northface down parkas or a mountain hardwear super puffy 900 fill mountaineering coat.i wear Columbia parkas too all sorts, carhartt etc etc I love coats I guess. . I have the fancy too damn expensive for being made in Asia often China tho still 900$ arctyrex and Mammut jackets and more shell like coats and snowboard jackets with Insulation but those thinner costs r fuckin cold yo..I get layering big time but u build and build layers but why not just a parka with merino wool t-shirt and then hoodie. Scarf, buff and ur set?? .u get so cold especially when the wind is whipping at u on lift or goin down rippin.. But am I the only one who wears warm stuff?? Is it just the cool factor of the thinner jackets cuz u don't get more mobility. A big sized parka will work greatly. Get a cool ass baggy northface or whatever. I live in the Midwest up north so it gets cold. Can anyone just let me know? Thankyou very much.
Some snowboarders prefer to put their money into companies that participate in snowboarding culture one way or another. That may be through sponsoring riders, sponsoring contests, donating gear, having a legacy of snowboard specific R&D, being rider owned, and so on. Most of brands you mentioned don't do that in a meaningful way. Just my two cents on your question.
@@jdoe8355 totally makes sense. I hear ya! Thankyou for the knowledge and input. Be blessed!
