North Carolina might not be known for its progressive snowboarding scene, but Zeb Powell is starting to change that. A native of Waynesville, N.C., Powell initially hated snowboarding because he was forced to ride regular. But a switch to goofy stance, followed by a quick grind, changed all that. Powell went on to combine classic snowboarding style with cutting edge tricks to create his own brand of snowboarding. And once X Games called, Powell shot straight to the top of the Knuckle Huck leaderboard. Heading into 2021, Powell is the new face of fun and creative snowboarding.

Moral of the story: Parental support is VERY important to help a kid achieve greatness.

@Filip-dv5lr 3 года назад

and cash

@ItsJahboi 2 года назад

Broke my heart to read, so many of us needed this, but didn't get the opportunity to recieve the proper support. Just hoping these generations can heal and move on from the past...

@vvdd903 2 года назад

And cash. U right.

@okallup8012 2 года назад

And a hard work ethic, and talent, and dedication and a number of other things that your parents can’t give you.

There's a video from Hood this summer where he's hitting the park on a 203 Nitro Cannon (Casey Willax's channel) and it's absolutely insane. He pulls out rotations at the last second. Dude got me interested in park again.

Zebs parents are Rad no wonder the kid is just awesome

@dieseldabz7104 3 года назад

Yes he's super lucky they gave him that kinda support, cause it's NOT cheap to be a Woodward kid for example. Most kids never get the opportunity.
