Today is a powder day in Whistler and we're searching the mountain for cliff drops! I'm snowboarding today with my friend Shu from Snowboard Dojo Wiz. The first tip for dropping cliff is to spot the landing and make sure the powder is deep enough. Make sure you also don't land in another snowboarders landing spot. The second tip is to give yourself a few feet of space before the cliff to point your snowboard straight. This will allow you to get balanced over your snowboard before he cliff. The third tip is land the cliff with more weight toward the tail of your snowboard. This will stop you from catching your nose and rolling forward. Shu's bonus tips are to visualize your landing before hitting the cliff drop. Also, throw a snowball off the cliffs edge to calculate how long you'll be in the air. Be safe while snowboarding and doing cliff drops and make sure to wear a helmet. For more videos and tips subscribe and check out the snowboarding playlists!

I love the comments here, everyones so excited and always feeding off the positivity of each other, really great that everyones always excited for each other about hitting some slopes or trying new things.. in an age of negativity online its just really refreshing

@ihurley5439 7 лет назад

It's great to watch your videos like this because as a beginner you keep falling all the time and get frustrated. But it's reassuring to see more experienced riders trying new things and also falling. Makes me want to keep going and not let a small tumble deter me!

@leevi2138 7 лет назад

@Lydia4991 7 лет назад

Hi kevin, any tips for a snowboarder living in whistler who can do blacks but sometimes struggles with turning on very steep sections in places like off of harmony but wants to start exploring more?

@benmcdonald2686 7 лет назад

Have you ever been snowboarding outside of whistler? I have been snowboarding in whistler twice before and found that the snow isn't any better than the snow in Europe. Just think I would get bored of snowboarding the same place all season.

@alessandrodeluca6929 7 лет назад

Bro I think you were a little too stiff with your legs on your landings, you can really see it on 4:06. Anyhow keep up the good work, best content for a snowboard channel that's not a magazine :)

@w1dowtaker 7 лет назад

Should be wearing a helmet mate

@loossss 7 лет назад

How do you make sure there's not some hidden rock under your landing spot?

@fathomz 7 лет назад

walk it first?

@Left.Lane.Loiterer 7 лет назад

If theres a rock you'll be able to see a raise in the snow. You just have to make sure you're only doing drops on days with plenty of powder that hasn't be blown out by other people dropping in the same spot.

@Left.Lane.Loiterer 7 лет назад

Nooo that ruins your landing area. Plus walking through powder is exhausting. You just have to eyeball it and use your better judgement

@MJackonYT 7 лет назад

The snowball idea can help, you want to see how deep into the snow the ball goes.

@will90645 7 лет назад

hit it with speed, you'll air any rocks that are a part of the cliff, and anything else you should be able to see as a bumb

@eliasbelzberg9259 7 лет назад

Hey I'm coming to whistler for the third time over New Years any run recommendations?

@stevethepokieman 7 лет назад

@mitch5737 7 лет назад

so damn true, you ski at blue mountain?

@Kozycz 7 лет назад

If you could help me out that would be really great. So the board I have been using is really small (I weigh 110 and it is a 138cm board) and my dad gave me his burton royal board the he rode once and it is a 156 (meant for 130-170). Would it be safe for me to ride it now? I am able to do black diamonds with no trouble and love powder and park by the way. Please help.

@theoutdoorangler1173 7 лет назад

Hey man, great videos! I have an iPhone 7 plus and go pro 4, but it seems when I upload them from my camera roll, the video seems much more blurry, any recommendations? Thanks so much!

@thomaswitheridge2866 7 лет назад

Where is this at

@michaelballico2974 5 лет назад

So how much does the pow actually cushion your drop and how deep does it need to be? I've watched so many free-ride snowboard movies and drop offs always look hectic, the explosion of snow on the landing looks like it cushions you but it still looks so dangerous! I'm worried about blowing out a knee or ankle if I land too heavy..... I can handle doing a drop off/drop in on a sloped landing with firm snow because the way you meet the landing looks/feels more natural. But a flat landing even in deep pow looks brutal. And does this same "heavy on the back foot" landing technique work when trying to hit consecutive drops or pillows?

@toninodemitri3345 7 лет назад

Hey Kevin have you ever been to Silver Star? I just got back from a 3 day snowboarding trip and had a blast🏂. How would you compare silver star to whistler or big white? My uncle wants to take me to kicking horse out in the Kootenays.

@gaiengrowden5744 7 лет назад

Awesome video! I'm going up to meadows this Thursday and it's supposed to be a bluebird powder day! I'm gonna make a video on my channel with my new GoPro I got for Christmas!

@NYCEmpire 7 лет назад

I think you had it at 4:02. Not too far forward. Good angle, but you didn't stomp the landing. Power through it with your legs. Seems like you leaned left and lost the center of gravity. These are good for studying yourself. Cool channel

@lirending1 6 лет назад

Praying for some fresh snow at Keystone this weekend!!!! Just can't wait. And when I can't wait, I come watch his videos lol

@calvcha1859 7 лет назад

Hey Kevin, what do you use to get such steady shot when youre filming other people? i just recently edited my first gopro footage, if you have time do you mind checking it out and let me know what you think? Thanks and keep up the good work!

@laynemckenzie1414 7 лет назад

hey Kevin make a video for tips for filming with a selfie stick! I want to get shots like you but I find that when I'm using my selfie stick I can't focus on my riding as much and it makes the run less fun and I don't end up getting great shots anyway since I'm not riding as well

@SimonYoyoyo 7 лет назад

Hey, this video was really entertaining. These are the kind of snowboard videos I'd like to see on RU-vid. To make them even better, I think a dedicated camera dude would be nice!

@NoSoupForYou123 7 лет назад

I was working out on my computer and I subconsciously had your video on, not remembering clicking on this video haha.

@lkluke1csgomontagechannel506 7 лет назад

Hey, how do you get pop and jump high even when there isnt a great kicker because at my mountain the kicker is rounder at the moment. Also how do you get more confident with rails?

@blackligxt9413 6 лет назад

i like grabbing melon for drops bc it stops any arm flapping, makes sure i lift my knees and straighten them to absorb the landing, of course leaning back... it also looks siiiiick XD

@dillonbarnyak3762 7 лет назад

My school has a snowboarding club and we are going next week. I have messed around in my backyard and can stop ok, but are there any tips you can give me?

@nickshinn5110 7 лет назад

So I ride regular and have been up a couple time and have a really hard time turning around so my back is close to the mountain and vice versa, when it's pointing away from the mountain

@kahelekoki6215 5 лет назад

It feels great when you and everyone in your crew is killing it but sucks when only you are having a off day you feel like sh!t! So stoked that both of you ended up stomping at the end

@edgarcia2015 7 лет назад

do you have some sort of video stabilizer? how do you get such smooth videos? I have an action camera with a selfie stick.

@syndicate639 7 лет назад

How do you snowboard with the slope being 45 degrees? I am still a beginner and all the slopes near me are really steep and/or really flat like at a 5 degree angle.

@JR-Canada 7 лет назад

Guys! Could you explain more how to drop a cliff, in more detail, everything: approach, what to look for in a landing, how to avoid bad calls etc? And keep it up!

@SnowboardProCamp 7 лет назад

+Alex Stevens I also have a powder drop tutorial with some more info.

@leoantonoff 7 лет назад

Hey guys! Why don't you mount the camera on your helmets? Looks pretty hard to hold the camera and do the drops at the same time.

@jaro856 7 лет назад

ur a good rider, but u def can improve ur airstance, u get really stiff in the air and dont really adapt to what happens.

@sleepy.philly 7 лет назад

@SPEEDRAZER1 7 лет назад

Hey Kevin, love your videos I have a question and if you've answered it on another video I might have missed let me know I've started snowboarding recently and am progressing fairly well, although when I go rent my board the rental guys always ask me how to set up my board and bindings? They ask if " 9 o clock or do I want it more aggressive" Didn't know what it meant and was wondering if you could touch up on it or give some insight on what's the best way to set up a board for beginners Thanks again, -Carlos R from Colorado 👍🏼

@cchhiillaannggoo 7 лет назад

What kind of wax do you use on your board kevin?

@Shazam21120 7 лет назад

Could you do a video on how you know you are ready to move to a more difficult slope. Like a progression of skills to know you can handle a new slope safely.

@SnowboardProCamp 7 лет назад

Great request!

@youarenotsogood2493 7 лет назад

Hey kevin, I realy love your vids! I always want to go board when you upload something new. 16/17 is going to be my 3rd season of snowboarding and i finaly got myself a board and boots for Christmas! So i got myself the Capita DOA 2017 and the adidas superstar snowboard boots. I just wanted to ask if you have any suggestions on the binding ? I want to learn how to realy carve so a stiff binding would be great but I also want to learn some new butters and ride some pow if i find some .. Got any idea what could fit as a binding for my Goals this year? would love to get an response! lovely greetings from Germany!
