The T-schaped anchor lifts are actually the esiest, bc they pull you straight in the snowboard. The button-shaped lifts are terrible for snowboards, bc they pull you in an angle. But still, they are okay I guess.
I switched long time ago over to flow bindings, wouldnt change to something else anymore. Easy to get in, great response and in those cases easy to get out and walk
Oddly, getting off the lift was never a problem for me... Catching the edge of my board at speed and falling face first while the board comes over my back and hits me in the back of the head was always my issue 😂 the good 'ol scorpion move lol
My local ski resort had a 40 year old chair lift which had zero slow down at the top you would just get fucked off it at the top at full speed. As a snowboarder it took 100% full concentration to not get absolutely annihilated when getting off.. good times..
My friend with board crashed into my other friends mom so she broke her knee when they were getting of the lift. It was a lifetime experience. Helli flying 2-3 meters above my head and landing 10m away from me. Since that they I'm always dreaming about making a helli licence.
It’s crazy it be like that, the chair behind me the girl broke her foot getting off at the very tip top 💔 My best was being dead skiing all day and went to get up but couldn’t and leaned all the back until my backpack hit and i used that to keep going back to standing haha
My favorite part 😂 I was laughing SOOOO hard nothing was coming out about to pee 😂when I was watching my fiance get swooped up 2 lifts ahead of me Soo quickly he screamed because his weight bouncing the bungee springing the lift 😂
I went skiing a few years back and I was so paranoid that I ofc had the bar down, the bar got kind of stuck so when it finally went up it was too late to get off the lift easily. I tried to get off right away but I got scared and hesitated, I made it off the bench AFTER it turned and if I got off a second later I would have gone down and very long way before reaching the snowy slope. I was very shaken by this. The next day the snow was too powdery so I had to cross country the entire way down a mountain and I was so tired and grumpy from that so I stayed in the lobby the rest of the time we were there.
Lmao that was me! Fell in front of everyone as I forgot to get off the lift before having to step out. 1 second hesitation cost me to fall on top of someone resulting in feeling dumb and special as everyone had to stop for my safety hahha lol. Honestly it hurt bad and that walk of shame was something to never forget about. IF THATS BIG BEAR THATS EXACTLY WHERE I FELL FROM RIGHT IN THAT CORNER YOU SEE A DROP AND ITS DEEPER THAN YOU THINK.
As a skier my biggest fear is being on a Quad chair or larger with multiple boarders and having nowhere to go when several of them fall as they dismount, however so far I've managed to make it through the pile of bodies without hitting any of them
Add to the fear, surrounded by skiers. Only cause they dont rlly think where they put their skis down. I had a couple times one put their skis on top of my snowboard crashing me 😩
It's because you don't straighten out your board when unloading. It's your fault not the skiers. I've done both for years. You should be required to ski, and all skiers should be required to snowboard. It adds more respect to both sliding styles. I've only been hit twice in 47 years on the slopes, both times by a snowboarder, on their heel side
Yes. The fear is real. Mine was always either my jacket or something is going to get caught on the lift seat or I slip and fall and take out all the other people getting off the lift and we all fall down! Been there done that!!! 😂
Flat board it and point it straight down. No edge. No angle to the left or right. Only when needed, turn with the correct edge. Otherwise just stay flat board and go straight like the exit in this video but not angled like she did. The worst seating position is left seat on a forced left turn or right seat on a forced right turn. If in the worst seat, try to push off the chair with your hand and get as much speed as possible so you can get in front of the skiers who are laughing at you.
This is why the Switch step in bindings were so awesome. I could get the inside of my back foot on the binding and as soon as I got weight on the binding when I stood up, the not clicked in and away I went.
I gotta say most shorts these days either bore me or aggravate me, but this one is awesome. Really well done. Not over acted. Good use of music. Good camera angles and cuts. For real unless you prefer it as a hobby you should seriously look into filmmaking. I think you have the gift for it.
As someone who has skied since four years old, I started on a very low, small chair lift and slowly went up to the seven seaters with heated seats, wind covers, and they go to the summit. Now it’s a relaxing process lol
Been boarding for years and don't even think about it, but yeah sometimes I still fall don't worry about it. Usually in my case it's one of my "skier" friends giving me a little push!!!!!
