Is Zeb Powell The Most Creative Snowboarder In The World? 

In an era of snowboarding where it seems like everyone is just a robot trying to spin and flip as many times as possible, Zeb is a refreshing take with his unique blend of tricks and smooth style...his style is both a throwback to what differentiates riding from skiing, but also has modern elements that's pushing the sport forward.

He's literally a character from SSX. Without a doubt the most creative rider I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot considering the level of competition everyone is at in today's era of snowboarding.

I think what makes zeb stand out is his sheer enjoyment of the sport. Whatever he is doing, hes having so much fun. It just so happens that what he finds fun also tends to be very creative, but I think hes defined more by his attitude than his creativity

Zeb snowboards like as if he was controlled by some wreckless teenager in a video game he has been playing for 1000’s of hours. Shreds so hard♥️🤙

I love how people can see Zeb for his creativity on everything he has done, not just his runs in the knuckle huck 🤙🏼♥

You can’t watch him without wanting to go snowboard after, he makes everything look so dope and every thing he lands is crazy

He rides like he's completely unable to be hurt! Also, he's crazy strong! The way he rides takes so much muscle!

Zeb, my dude, those Red Bull helmets look really stylee and they help keep your brain healthy and on the snow… Please be wise and wear a helmet, I want to see you riding into your later years with cats like Marcus Klevland and Mark McMorris who protect their fantastic minds with helmets before launching into the heavens the way you fellas do. Super creative riding…it is really a privilege to see this on RU-vid. Thank you all for putting the work in and May God bless you to keep it up. This makes my lunch period something to look forward to here at the power plant where I work. Peace and props to you all

Zeb’s style is straight up real life SSX🔥

I don't usually watch videos like this but when I do, I watch the best. You are truly one of the greats Zeb!

Even just the buttering and carving at 3:01 was sick as hell

I grew up riding the same mountains as Zeb and Luke. Every time you'd see him, even outside of the park, you always wanted to have that same energy and playfulness on a board. It's contagious. That is something special to have regardless of skill level -- just getting gassed up by the people around you and bringing the best YOU have. It's incredible to see Zeb and Luke doing exactly what I expected them to be doing nearly 20 years down the road.

This past year ruled, hyped to keep it going!

The butter/carving sequence at 3:00 is simply stunning!

That smile while riding is infectious, can’t wait to shred! Such a sick edit! 🔥🔥

The level of control and awareness of body position...not to mention how easy he makes it look...just absolutely insane. Never seen anything like it. You got a gift Zeb!

Insane core strength to do what he does man.

First test of my Snow Joe was a massive blizzard that dropped 20+ inches of snow with drifts well over 3ft. ru-vid.comUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN This snow thrower is definitely not designed for this much snow but it powered through it. We did have to knock down taller drifts with a shovel and at times the chute was awkward because snow banks were much higher than it could throw, but still much easier than shoveling. The plus side of the small size is the maneuverability. Easy to lift up to walkways and works in tight spaces near cars. Highly recommend.Note: after assembling it started but did not turn. The belt wasn't in place. Easy fix.

I’ve never snowboarded in my life only skied but I can say I can watch Zeb for hours and not get bored. Something about someone being so unique and creative and also elite at what they are passionate about has me so intrigued. Dude is such a goat

Zeb is a straight beast on a board! Love his style!

Been riding and watching snowboarding over 20 years now. I've never seen anyone like Zeb, he's truly a pleasure to watch.

amazing rider, wish he wore a helmet to protect him and all those he influences and protect that creativity for decades to come!

I have been a skier for 15 years, watching Zeb makes me want to do nothing more than snowboard

3:04 absolutely blew my mind!!!

I don't really follow new riders, but Zeb is so much fun to watch. Bring happiness to the slopes!!

The man even rides snowboards at cable parks on water instead of a wakeboard and is so good in all these disciplines he can combine them. He's a straight up O.G Legend

Yes, he is. Next level energy everywhere he goes.

He's the GOAT of his generation for sure. Such an awesome snowboarder to watch, not only for the crazy ass tricks/combos he doe's, but also his good vibe energy.

Feels like the old skate video days love it!!!!

Just when you think he's finished rotating he'll still go for that extra 180. So sick!

thank god he can snowboard because that basketball clip was crazy

He’s the king !!

watching Zeb gives me the motivation to go out and yolo

A brother that shreds 😳 absolutely love it. Time to hit the mountain. This makes me warm and fuzzy 😊 #motivated

zeb is tha goat for sure, favorite sowboarder out there, saw him at my first season ever while he was at redbull tour at stratton, so sick, so much stile and such a nice person!

He is, BY FAR, the most fun snowboarder to watch these days.... Thanks Zeb for walking your own path!

Zeb's style looks like he decides what trick he's going to do just as he jumps, and then he changes his mind in mid-air. I love it.

It's so refreshing

He killed it up on Hood all summer. He’s a cool chill dude as well.

Love your style Zeb.

by far my favorite rider at the moment!

Zeb is my favorite snowboarder of all time and I wish him the best and u too red bull

best rider out 💪🏼

insane skills

Most inspirational !!!!!

This boy crazzy 🔥

Showing my age, but he reminds me of Brushie: not necessarily "the best" rider out there - whatever that means - but certainly one with an insanely high level of stoke, style and desire to shake things around. Well deserved recognition.

Excellent rider. Love the afro beat sound track. Nice selection.

Amazing skills and style, thanks for the video!

so many crazy shots!

Incredible

Even the riding style is going retro, knees together!!!!

In my opinion, Zeb is THE best freestyle snowboarder in the game. There may be guys who can pull impressive trips and throw crazy 21’s, but there is SO much more to freestyle snowboarding than that. Zeb has a unique ability to make a XXL feature look tiny. He rides like a Puma: light on his feet, aggressive, focused on the next meal… but not wasting any energy to get there… because it’s inevitable. One could think he would be the cockiest SOB in the world; and who would blame him? The way he effortlessly flies through the air, and shifts course with a quick flex makes him look superhuman. Yet he doesn’t act like it. For context, I’ve met the dude, he’s built like an NFL running back! I was at least a head taller than him yet he still towered over me. Not in an egotistical sense either… one of the nicest, most humble people I’ve met, he’s just built different. The craziest thing about Zeb is that he’s a regular ass person like you or even me, but he’s on such a high vibration that he appears to be glowing… that’s what a true star is. He’s a nimble yet powerful snowboarder with a flow & feel beyond his years. We are just seeing the tip of the iceberg, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what’s to come!

im late for a family function but I cant stop watching

Zebs truly special... Dudes just got that swagger.

I saw Zeb at Bachelor last Spring for comp. Such a sick rider

3:00 in, that’s my favorite stuff to see. Most of us can’t relate to back flips off a rail. The effortless flow on a normal run sends the point home on how talented he is

Love to see timberline getting recognition in this vid 🦾

That backflip down mid rail grind is just plain crazy

crazy shot

Soooo fresh!!!!

He's the most creative rider I have ever seen!

he makes it look sooo easyy🔥🤝🏿

Ridiculous level of natural talent combined with a lifetime of hardcore practice is a beautiful thing to witness!

Zeb defines what freestyle snowboarding is. Never seen someone with so much control.

He's fearless.

this guy shreds the gnar for sure

best snowboard vid ive ever seen

Refreshing mid 90s flashback.

Bros out here re making SSX Tricky 😩🤘🏻

The level of control he has over his board is unreal.

Zeb having all the fun

Red Bull is doing it right man, greatly shot video !

this guys style is the sickest by far

Escalator to coffin slide was CRAZY

Dude is WILD!!!!!!

Somebody get this dude a skateboard, sick style

I would say yes, yes he is. 🙌

great style

Kid is unreal!

I don't know all of the other snowboarders in the world but I like this guy's chances at being most creative.

Fire vid!!!

Great video!

He is creative and happens to be extremely agile too. And having fun, most important thing.

Amazing! This guy is good

Creative and with the ability to execute too

You cannot argue the title of this video... Zebs in his own class. Right up there with Nicolas Müller in my humble opinion

He's evolving snowboarding slowly as well as others for sure and he is very fun to watch

Something about the way he rides combine with the dreads and the sun glasses and sunvisor reminds me of a SSX snowboarding game character 🤣

Crazy

Like his old school tweaked grabs 🤙🏽

One of the best ever for sure!!..gnarly and fun to watch like a character from a video game!!What about the great Scott Stevens ,he s also dope and creative af🏂🤙🤘...🙏

He is the ONE !

Flow master He is so technical with power. Does anybody know the second song?

Zeb is a madman

His body is like water, it changes shape so many times during a run. :) He just flows!

Love this dude n the vibes 😶‍🌫️😝👾🎥🆙🤑

Not sure as I'm not very familiar with all the riders but I can honestly say this video is dope!

Zebs style is such a breath of fresh air. Not just some spin to win sellout

yooooo Zeb is sick !
