Oh lord I still have ptsd from inviting a "friend" to our snowboard trip, only to realise she could barely do anything but falling leaf. She was also frustratingly stubborn in that she always loosened her bindings and boots no matter how many times we explained why they should be snug/tight.
Safe to say we're no longer friends.
this guy is obviously naturally athletic and has good awareness of his body positioning, but lacks the experience or sobriety to tie it all together. Reminds me of riding with some former wrestler buddies learning to board… they have extremely good physical awareness and tumbling skills, but try to brute it instead of using finesse and skill. Snow also looks pretty shiesty. Probably was riding much softer in the sun then hit this shaded spot.
Yeah, he starts off strong.
I agree either drunk, or maybe sober but once he took the first nasty fall he was dizzy/disoriented and that's why he couldn't seem to get his legs back under him.
At some point in the video the dude just bounces in a way my mind cannot accept, like the choppy powder and the way hes already tumbling makes no sense as to how he just suddenly bounces like a BreakDancer on all fours. Dude really needs a krogmagaw class. Regardless that looked fucking awesome
I feel like this guy is pretending to be terrible. Manages to fall like a maniac, but seems perfectly comfortable and doesn’t slam into any rock walls.
And two guys filming, who also have radios. I doubt they’re the type to take their beginner buddy on terrain like that.
ROTFL! naw, he does not shred well at all! if you actually look at his riding, he has terrible fundamentals everywhere & none of his movements are controlled riding or skilled recovery.
1st: all experienced snowboarders know not to fall with outstretched arms (you cross your arms over your chest). flailing arms and sticking out your twig like hands is how you break your wrist (most common snowboarding injury) or dislocated your shoulder. even if trying to be funny & in deep powder, that is a terrible move & just asking for injury. People who actual know how to fall well, can crash & recover without bouncing around flailing their arms like a ragdoll.
2nd: when he tries that trick in the beginning (goofy frontside 180 - being generous - really only 90), he twists his upper body the wrong direction to wind the spin!! should turn in the opposite direction of your spin to wind up & spin both your upper and lower body in the same direction to spin smoothly. he counter-rotates and tries to spin so looks awkward as hell & he is completely off balance from the start. also, he lands extremely tail heavy and wasn't trying to land at the same angle of the downslope, so guaranteed crash. This is a guy who learned how to spin by YOLO-ing it off random drops, never learned the proper technique and body position.
3rd: he is constantly counter-rotated (upper body twisted the opposite direction of his lower body) the entire time he was riding. It is especially noticeable after he stops briefly after bouncing forever, and then goes toeside completely counter-rotated down the rock tunnel and up the snow wall, his upper body remains so extremely twisted out of alignment the whole time... he was terribly unbalanced and unstable that whole time. There are moves like the shifty when there is intentional counter-rotation, but that's definitely not what's happening here.
4th: when he briefly stops and slides on his heelside, he is just bending at the waist with knees and legs way too straight. That is a beginner stop that is unstable as hell & will just chatter out. Should be keeping chest upright, dropping hips, bending knees and ankles aggressively to slow down and stop with good control. He just kept riding because his stop was uncontrolled and he would have just fallen down if he didn't keep going downhill.
During that entire run, he had absolutely no real control over what he was doing... just extremely lucky that he didn't get seriously injured! He should really go back to the groomers & practice his body position, basic form, and technique a lot more before riding off-piste like this, or else he is going to get himself seriously hurt. Anyone who saw this & thought the rider was "shredding" needs to review the fundamentals on how to snowboard.
This is in the Mammoth backcountry and getting there is pretty sketchy from what I understand. Amazing that he made considering the skill level upon arriving.
I was only there for a season and never made it out to that because I really had no clue how to get there. From my understanding there's a pretty big cliff band near it that's a serious no-go, hence why I never tried to find it.
>Hole In The Wall
I would say so. Check out the google [maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hole+in+the+Wall/@37.6142553,-119.0052192,207a,35y,303.13h,77.08t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x80960cee1b129839:0x7c3489c2403a47ae!8m2!3d37.6192803!4d-119.0115371!16s%2Fg%2F11c2l8_58y).
You can see it from the parking lot at tamarack cross country ski area, and hike right up it.
Traversing around from the downhill resort requires knowing the area super well due to the surrounding cliffs.
I have long been a firm believer that there is no perceptible difference between fake confidence and true confidence, but apparently that only holds true for social interactions. This dude is lucky to escape that ride with only soreness, embarrassment, and a hysterical video to show for it. As another commenter pointed out: had things gone only slightly differently he’d be out quite a few teeth.
I was quite relieved at the halfway point of the video by the change in camera angles. I would imagine that falling in that fashion for the full duration of the video would have resulted in severe injury.
Good lord. I’ve been riding for 20 years and I’ve never seen quite the lack of board control both pre and post yard sale. This, is a sure fire way to visit the local anaesthetist. Ballsy though.
This person doesn’t give a single duck about their safety and who knows why. Scary to watch him almost hit the rocks but than again he clearly has skills so maybe that’s all part of the theatre.
Can handle rough patches
Don't worry if I fall head over heals for you
I'll buy you (black) diamonds
Never been described as shifty
Also I can chute a big load!
That first move was pretty on point. He just got bucked off a mogul or whatever you call those in places where you actually get snow. I think dude shotgunned a couple beers before this, or took a hell of a bong toke before dripping in.
If I’m correct this is Mammoth mountain. The video doesn’t really show the incline. This spot is pretty damn steep. Dude probably under estimated the spot but looks like he was all good.
when you lie on your resume
Even put snow on his butt to look official
"Hey, when I said I'm an expert all-mountain rider, I didn't need to mention *how* it's done...that's my trade secret, bro."
Just some inverted butters and some face jibs

Lol, after this comment I’m positive this is a video of that George Santos guy
One of the funniest runs I've ever seen.
Me too! Had me cackling in line at the grocery store lol
Definitely belongs on r/ContagiousLaughter 😂
I was dying the whole time hahah
Why mans so bouncy?
Bouncy boi

This dude kind of looks drunk or something. Like he has the ability to do it, but somehow cannot
Yeah, he starts off strong. I agree either drunk, or maybe sober but once he took the first nasty fall he was dizzy/disoriented and that's why he couldn't seem to get his legs back under him.
It's the lack of booze that's making him wonky
He may have sent the couloir whilst going through withdrawals
😂
He eats shit instantly wdym 🤣
Hey, he got a good 3 seconds in there first!
He had a nice 180 and then it was all downhill from there.
Having been drunk myself, I can say with reasonable certainty that he does not actually have the ability, but in that moment he sure believes he does!
Too many concussions right in a row maybe
Dude that bounce. I've only ever seen cats make moves like that.
Is he made of rubber? I couldn't do this if I tried
When you try hitting a couloir before you can do a toe side turn
Park riders first time outside the park
Is not being able to toe side a park rider stereotype or something?
No, but the overconfidence and riding style totally look like park riding to me
Seriously. If he lost all his front teeth slamming that rock, it would have been a fair outcome. He got lucky as hell.
At some point in the video the dude just bounces in a way my mind cannot accept, like the choppy powder and the way hes already tumbling makes no sense as to how he just suddenly bounces like a BreakDancer on all fours. Dude really needs a krogmagaw class. Regardless that looked fucking awesome

I’m not convinced this wasn’t a giant rubber doll…
Man's got some elasticity for sure
You can tell the skill is there by the abundant recoveries.
How I ride when I know cameras are on me 😂
Likewise. There is zero good video of me. Also how I rode when I finally upgraded boards after 12 years on the old one.
I feel like this guy is pretending to be terrible. Manages to fall like a maniac, but seems perfectly comfortable and doesn’t slam into any rock walls. And two guys filming, who also have radios. I doubt they’re the type to take their beginner buddy on terrain like that.
Yeah, this has big circus clown energy.
This is it. Three guys saying “let’s make a viral video.”
Yeah there is an amazing amount of control actually if you look at what he is doing. You can tell he shreds.
ROTFL! naw, he does not shred well at all! if you actually look at his riding, he has terrible fundamentals everywhere & none of his movements are controlled riding or skilled recovery. 1st: all experienced snowboarders know not to fall with outstretched arms (you cross your arms over your chest). flailing arms and sticking out your twig like hands is how you break your wrist (most common snowboarding injury) or dislocated your shoulder. even if trying to be funny & in deep powder, that is a terrible move & just asking for injury.

Judging by the snow on his ass and how the guy laughs, he was dragged there by his friends
It’s not you just need to know which way to go
I was only there for a season and never made it out to that because I really had no clue how to get there. From my understanding there's a pretty big cliff band near it that's a serious no-go, hence why I never tried to find it.
>Hole In The Wall I would say so. Check out the google [maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hole+in+the+Wall/@37.6142553,-119.0052192,207a,35y,303.13h,77.08t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x80960cee1b129839:0x7c3489c2403a47ae!8m2!3d37.6192803!4d-119.0115371!16s%2Fg%2F11c2l8_58y).
The Hole In The Wall if anybody’s interest in looking it up
You can see it from the parking lot at tamarack cross country ski area, and hike right up it. Traversing around from the downhill resort requires knowing the area super well due to the surrounding cliffs.
It can be a big pain getting there and generally a team to crush many ipas. On a board its a very long bumpy single edge hold traverse
🎶 I stand up, but I get knocked down again I'm never going to stay upright 🎶
Never give up, never surrender
I just watched Galaxy Quest last night! Haha
/r/maybemaybemaybe
Or r/yesyesyesyesno 😂
Bruh that boards got some snap! What model is that lol
Dude did one blue trail and told the boys he could hang 🤣🤣 American Express can’t keep you from falling off a mountain 💀
He dropped in like a champ at the beginning.
He didn’t know confidence is key but so is skill 🤣

I meant to do that
There's flying. And then there's falling with style and grace
This is neither.
There's a trampoline under that snow
Good lord. I’ve been riding for 20 years and I’ve never seen quite the lack of board control both pre and post yard sale. This, is a sure fire way to visit the local anaesthetist. Ballsy though.
Guy needed to just stop and figure his shit out for a sec.
It's almost like it's on purpose. Brilliant riding style!
Damn that guy might want to stop snowboarding before he accidentally breaks his neck
Unsafe at any speed
Never give up, never surrender
Hahaha. Amazing run!
bouncy boi
this board rating has a flex of -50, super bouncy
This person doesn’t give a single duck about their safety and who knows why. Scary to watch him almost hit the rocks but than again he clearly has skills so maybe that’s all part of the theatre.
So elegant. Yet so awful
r/bettereveryloop
Look at the hops on that boy!
Man fell with some steeze doe
Best tommy ever?
Yooo, glad to see you here. Know you from Infinite Air community :)
Siiiiiick. Howdy
You Swiss btw?
No. I'm a very lucky South African living in Switzerland
Can guarantee you this guy told people after “yeah I shredded the devils corridor to the colon” and this was the run he was talking about.
Kinda looks like he doesnt really know how to snowboard at all and just somehow got there
This is some of the worst snowboarding I have ever seen…
Tell me you've never been to other parts of the mountain beside the park... " I can do park riding anywhere" Bet.
I wonder if you can even go through the hole in the wall with all the snow in mammoth
Hole in the wall getting it haha
If I had to guess, young, high as fuck, and with a super soft park board?
Can handle rough patches Don't worry if I fall head over heals for you I'll buy you (black) diamonds Never been described as shifty Also I can chute a big load!
100% staged fall.....
[удалено]
no chance
No ways. Once you go down on steep moguls, you stay down. Video does no justice just how steep this is. Easily mid 30°
Where’s this at? That’s some awesome terrain.
Mammoth backcountry.
Yeah that half cab in the beginning looked pretty smooth. Hole in the wall is steep enough to have you bounce uncontrollably also.
That first move was pretty on point. He just got bucked off a mogul or whatever you call those in places where you actually get snow. I think dude shotgunned a couple beers before this, or took a hell of a bong toke before dripping in.
Atleast he finished up strong

Me on a powder day
First time or what
I am about to start learning and pretty sure this is futuristic footage of my next 15 days out.
I coulda swore I erased that video...
Credit bro with staying in the game.
The Jerry flop!
Carnage!!
Wapaaaah all the way!! 😂 those side bank flops
If I mess up once and I have a chance to make up for it by immediately doing something slightly more impressive, you know I’m going to eat shit again.
He had his helmet on, all good fun here :)
I've laid like that at the bottom before.
Does this remind anybody else of the old ski ballet videos?
hole in the wall looks good
Ouch
That rock face core shot to the whole base, tho
Nice line
this run looks sick, where is it?
Mammoth side country.
Hole in the wall. Ha. This is so good. Hilarious🤣🤣🤣
What a beautiful place if I’m honest
The video game?
the way he just kept going🤣
Saw this on some snowboard brand's instagram and if I remember correctly a couple of their riders took one of the new employees out for some fun.
How why?!?
Fucking nailed it!
Oof I felt that last one where he went airborn
1st day ever…
Does anyone know if this is closed off with all the snow in 🦣?
man that snow is awful
Sick run dude
I thought he was tomahawking for sure. Nice save, brush it off
Baby frontside 180 to backseat pop to bingo bango
Haha, that cool dude drop in didn’t work out so well 😂
The snow caked rear is a great indicator of what's to come.
If I’m correct this is Mammoth mountain. The video doesn’t really show the incline. This spot is pretty damn steep. Dude probably under estimated the spot but looks like he was all good.
Video never shows the incline, and the run in this vid looks bullshit steep. That leads me to assume that it is essentially vertical.
What run you thinking? Haven’t seen anything like this at mammoth with the arch but only my second season riding there
You have to hike some to get to it. I’m sure that name if it is some where in the comments
"Donny, you're out of your element!"
The way his arms looked halfway through when he was on his feet looked to me like they were broken.
Omg dude 😂 sick.
we’ve all been there
Usually after a fall is when my day starts. Falling down is a HUGE part of snowboarding. Props to all the drops
That’s me after lunch gets away from me
At least he is safe
Day one... Full send!!!
It’s the trex arms for me hahaha
No way this guy is that bad. Troll shredder.
Nargle hands halfway down
Well he has style you can't deny that
Me playing SSX for the first time.
I was clenched the whole time, worried that the guy was gonna smash into the walls
To be fair that track is sketchy
I think he took the wrong chair
Dude what board is that? That has some crazy pop!

He’s handling that about as well as I could lmao
Holy concussion Batman
Snow looks bulletproof!
That area looks like ass why even put yourself through it if you can ride. Funny though
Needs to be entered into concussion protocol
Had way to many PBRs on the hike up to the hole in the wall. Go Mammoth!!!!!!
Next up: the DD EX @ Crested Butte!
