Pro tip wrap your binding bolts in plumber's tape/locktite tape never have your bindings come loose again. I wish I would known this trick earlier in my snowboard career
I'd recommend photochromic lenses that have a range to cope with most light conditions. Agree 100% with the need to carry a tool. I also always carry 4 longish zip ties to deal with boa/lace failure. A zip tie will get you home safely if your lacing system snaps when you are a looooong way from the nearest piste. I always carry water in a small camelbak and also some sugary snacks to munch on the chair. And one other thing - duck tape. Peel about a foot off a roll and fold it over a few times - it takes up as much room as a credit card. Great for fixing torn trousers etc.
Love how you put this video together! Mixing tips and you riding makes the video way more interesting then just hey this is what you might want as a snowboarder. Keep up the good work!!!!
Guys he's absolutely correct about the socks cuz I borrowed a homies pair and I legit just needed one pair and it felt amazing I'd usually have two or three pairs of walmart socks and trust me the crappy socks just make your feet cramp
Board lock is very important. my first day at A bay i went in to get my pass and when i came out my board was gone i was like "WTF are you serious" then i thought about walking to the lift maybe i see someone with it and it was leaning on the ski rack by the lift..also i love the bag because i hate to carry my tools in my pocket but i have rear entry bindings and it would be on the way
Wow!!! That’s brilliant to have the high back bag and putting the screwdriver in it!! I always carry a mini screw driver and it is annoying in my pockets. Thanks for the epic video!
Always thought the straps on the glove were annoying and never used them till I dropped my glove off the lift for the first time last year. Immediately went down to grab it and someone had already snagged it, thankfully they handed it off to the lift operator and I got it back.
Great, the first thing i threw in the garbage can as a beginner was the glove tangles. The first thing you recommend in your video, is the glove tangles. Seems i have to buy them again lol
Great video, can't emphasize how important good socks are. Spend hundreds if not thousands on gear...wear $5 walmart socks? WTF. Also- I would recommend a small retractable cable lock for the board while in a rack. I don't trust anyone, so easy for your board to simply walk off. Had a buddy get his stolen while in Utah. $13 from DaKine.
The Snowboard Journey totally!!! Ours are in the mail 🤙🏼 definitely something I never use because we never really get of our boards but it happens all the time!!
Great video even though I knew most of the tips! Super helpful for beginners for sure. Planing on grabbing one of my own binding bags soon, would love to see a evolution one!
Johnathan Buckhouse LOL, I definitely thought of it, but I don't think Brandon and I would've taken the leap of faith to Imperial without you! I'm extremely grateful for the extra push bro!!!!! After hitting that, we felt like we could ride anything! That day was life changing! 🔥👊🏂🤙
Hahaha I have been snowboarding in the same Walmart socks for 2 years an they haven't riped in my boots yet. It is always a challenge because I have a prosthetic leg. I bought a actual good pair at a ski shop and they ripped to shreds in one dag
@@JohnathanBuckhouse correction *woman - I am one of the female fans of your channel ( I know, impossible to discern because I just have my initials). Anyway, would be great to see some female shredders in your vids like @Ryan Knapton does
Can you find someone who just got out a spinal injury cause my husband has a annular tear in the lower spine. He really misses going snowboarding but you might know him. His name is Dezwod he been following since day one when posting to RU-vid. He has contacts with snowboard archive and snowboard pro camp. But no one seems to answer his question about who came off a similar injury and how they where able to get back on snowboard. Thanks 🙏🏼
Hey! I hope you see this before the riding reason starts. What goggles did you have on this video? Looks like the bolle I saw recently. Let me know if it is the same ones. And how they held up in fogging up
Other Video "5 overrated things for snowboarders" says "screwdriver" but now this is a must have ? Absolutely not and the binding bag is also useless. My stuff is better in my pocket then on the bindung 😅
