The Top 5 Unwritten Rules of The Terrain Park 

Resorts have to stop putting terrain parks in the middle of the beginner areas.

Resorts near me should have everyone on the mountain watch this video and have a mandatory test at the end. If they fail....watch it again until they pass. Great vid!

Literally heard 4 times last season working park crew: “Why would they put a metal bar on the landing of that small jump” Almost quit my job after PD: love the fact that there’s at least 1 channel in the entirety of RU-vid that’s still core, pure honesty

Can't wait to see all these happen at bear mountain.

i personally am a friend of having a fence with Features to get over on the entrance to thte terrain park. This is the only way to make shure that nobody gets into that area, that doesn't know what they're doing and potentially endanger others. Sadly little to no Parks put up a fence with like a Rainbox rail or sth.

this isnt a bad list but it might need a reprise at some point: Rules that actually ARE WRITTEN in the alpine responsibility code: 1) no.4 is possibly the worst offender. one "should not stop where they aren't visible from above" and another that "before starting downhill, look up and yield to others" 2) no 5 is the best bet to keep the park safe. I cant tell you how many ppl I've been able to deter from entering the park or taking further laps in it, simply by asking them to read the park rules posted at its entrance. this corresponds to the alpine code rule that they should "observe signs and warnings" and "use proper equipment" 3) honorable mention - don't block the entrance - against alpine code for blocking passage. this also goes for aholes building jumps outside the park and then crossing them off with skis so their kid is the only one to hit it. Best thing about alpine code - its pretty much the same, in different wording and order, in NA, Canada, EU and NZ. It also works for bikes. The UNWRITTEN rules of the park I noticed most, though im not sure I agree with them, im just reporting: 1) the park is typically the only place on the mountain where its ok to hike uphill and you should expect to see this, respect it and try not to wipe out people walking up on the edges of the park. 2) be nice to sidejumping kids because they might come back to take freestyle lessons (what? really? ) 3) come to the terrain park at around 10 - 11am. you'll have time to sober up from last night and youll hit the softest snow of the day. 4) people have mentioned this in other videos and it does come handy - if you get wiped out, get out of the landing asap. 5) also get some freestyle lessons, preferably from someone who isn't oblivious to etiquette. I'm talking to you Mr. 12-kid-group-freestyle-lesson-sitting-on-a-knuckle. seriously. wtf dude? Cheers!

Haha I once askey the shaper in Abolsue Park after a reshaping of the medium kickers, and she told me to go all-in... I dieded. And backflips are cool. At least here in Europe, they are always valued. It feels awesome having the shapers rooting for you. Once in Les Deus Alpes they even let their private kicker be used (it was behing their shed, you could jump out to fresh pow).

This is why I wear full body armor when I ride park, so I can body check little fat skier/snowboarder kids who's using the ramp of a rail as a jump.

What about throwing snowballs at Buckhead every time he comes to your resort?

He has so much social intelligence for such an angry chap…- great video Sir!

Got a Ruroc ad for this vid. Getting me pumped for a knuckle picnic and a leisurely sit on a box feature!

Thx for saying it Adrian

Liberty mountain needs to see these. I can’t count on my two hand all of the times I’ve hit the jump line and some random jerrys are chilling on the knuckles.

So glad we are finally shedding light to the back barrel roll

Have you visited european resorts?

Solid video as always sir!

Love the vibe haha! And love the channel as well. A lot. Thanks for it. I am a kook myself and have been trying to stick to the rules, especially because in one of your vids you said "I don't give a fck if you are good at surfing or skating, you are still a kook here etc" hahahah True. I just turned 40 and come from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and been surfing since I was 6 and skating since 12 but 10 years ago I moved to Germany and went snowboarding for the first time last month at Snow World in Landgraaf. (IDK why it took me so long to....) I definitely have "board feeling" but went with a very humble approach and expecting nothing but frustration and disappointment - LOL - It went better than I expected but still sucked ass. I tried to stay outta the way though. We have the exact same hierarchy at the skatepark and in the water, and I know HOW annoying some beginners can be. I enjoyed snowboarding A LOT and even bought a board. One that was listed in one of your videos, the Salomon Huck Knife. Trying to find the bindings that go with it though. Checked all of your videos about it and am deciding between the Union Strata, Union Ultra, and Salomon Distric Pro Team. Any pointers? (besides stay out of my way, kook) Cheers

Thank you for calling out that amateur as f poser

I wish the ski school instructors in Washington would watch this and stop taking trains of 15 little fat timmys through the beginner parks and proceed to skip all the features... I just want to learn to jib, ffs

Love the Jonny Suckhouse shout out!

Real question. What’s an unbow?

Correct use of jagaloon

Loving the anger man

Hi guys! This is a great video, 👍 and comes with fun stuff qualities as well. Just like your "top 5 dumb ass complaints by skiers" :-))) and nice to see you and your channel as well, Tommie. Peace ✌️ greetings from Austria, B

You angry mother father this got me to subscribe!🎉

Did you break your tail on the Marhar board after landing on someone that was loitering in the landing area of a jump?

Yo angry, you gonna drop a full park part for the subscribers or whaaaa?

Yo I just moved to the valley (Avon) and think you should do a top 5 things to not do when you move here or maybe 5 things that officially make you a local. Don’t feel like I can call myself a local till I have experience the hell I’ve heard of the epic pass

scary shit is when you are going over the kicker, start your backside spin, get a glimps of a jerry in the corner of your eye and have to wait to get yourself around to see where the fuck they are and if you are going to crash

What backflip is acceptable to spam ?

the lack of features at the basin looks amazing

THUMBJACKING YOUR FART BOX!

About to make this video mandatory viewing for the snow club at my college

I remember in one of your videos you said you were here in Jersey at Big Snow AD... My theory is you saw more egregious breaking of your unwritten rules here in the 2 hour session that you get than you did in years of riding where you are now. Am I wrong?

Haha, guilty of using the knuckle as a viewing deck..... But I only do it if theres no one around.

Agree 100%. Respect the locals, anywhere you go!

Hey Avran what's your thoughts on right of way for guys hiking a feature vs someone flowing from top to bottom? Surely the dude hitting the whole line can just blow past the group.

Goes straight back to the '80s when I was riding steel ramps on a Christian Hasoii hammerhead, locals rule get out of the way-

I'm a pro snowboard video commentator.

This is actually pretty fucking useful.

Dude…you’re the fucking greatest!!!

sounds similar to surfing.

The amount of people I see who think that just because they're on holidays, normal laws don't apply any more, is appalling.....

Cognizant - good word but the people who need this explained are 100% not going to know what it means.

The terrain park is not a normal run, so don't go through it and skip all the features.

Same time don't you feckers come hitting our magic carpet and green runs and throwing presses and side hits whilst we're sitting on our bums in the middle of our runs taking photos of our Orcas!!!

Jagaloon? 😂

What mountain does this guy board at? This vid just makes me wanna go do the things on this list just to piss him off 🤣🤣

Just like local surfers. Heard it all before.

Only time to you are aloud to Stay in the landing area or fall area is if you are hurt

Snowboarding in North America sounds wretched.

Day 1 at Copper today & Peter Schnarsky, claiming to be Woodward supervisor, is literally telling a father it’s OK if his kid side hits the lips😡

Mostly good bar number 1, localism is bs in surfing, it’s definitely not welcome on the mountain. 5,4,3 and 2 spot on mind.

Can you do a Top 5 favorite secret powder stashes at Arapahoe basin?

Thumb jack your fart box 😂

😂😂😂👏

🤣

Big snow is the worst. I'm snaking mofos every run.

I like flips, doesn’t matter what kind. They are all cool to me

“Yo just cause you roll up and call drop doesn’t mean it’s your turn…. See all these fucking people waiting to drop?!?” How many times this has come out my mouth…

Why do people make fun of Buckhouse so much? 🤔

In other words, obtain and utilize common sense. Unfortunately that's too much of an ask for some people.

Basically don't be an arrogant, entitled, douchebag and you'll get on fine. It's a general rule for life. Back in the good old days when you were skating a spot and some assholes came along and started screwing up the session because they were too dumb or arrogant to think before they acted (rollerbladers!). They used to get taken aside by the locals and educated as to the error of their ways. They must have learned something because they never came back. Education is never wasted.

People are still riding parks? Grow up and get a snowmobile 🤣

Hierarchy? Locals rule? If it wasn't for the tourists pouring money into these resorts there wouldn't be a park, or anything else. How about respect for the people who's hard earned cash makes shit happen up there.
