How To Fall (Without Getting Hurt) On A Snowboard

Love the video I’ve been riding for 8 years and some of the statistics were surprising to me. One tip I would also add is don’t ride tired… if you are nearing the end of the day don’t go for “one last run” or if you do then take it easy. As you get tired you tend to fall more and this could cause you to get hurt.

As a beginner/ intermediate snowboarder you have saved my wrists from many fractures good sir👌

To your point about skiers causing more accidents - I was run over by a skier a couple weeks ago. I was working on carving - heelside, toeside over and over again (it was super obvious what I was going to do next) and the guy cam flying up from behind right after I started a toeside turn. I glanced up hill to make sure I wasn't in anyone's way, and he crashed directly into me. After checking to make sure he was ok, he said, "I may have had one too many Fireballs." I was pissed man! Drinking while riding/skiing is about the dumbest thing you can do on the mountain.

Some tips from someone who’s been snowboarding for a while: Don’t go hard on your last run, Stay hydrated, Try out new tricks on pow day, never on ice, and wear your helmet!

“Try to land on your feet not your back or head” well yea. Jk nice vid

my first ever lesson was taught on a dry ski slope, the guy there taught us to fall and use your elbows to "catch" yourself, so when falling forward but both arms up with palms facing in like a "shield" and if you fall backwards pull your hands in a fist to your hips so you elbows protrude behind you, i did 2 full seasons, had many falls and this saved me countless times even with some huge slams on XL jumps. it also feels much more natural to put something out infront of you or behind you to "catch" the fall

Thank you for mentioning the ''go big or go home'' quote, true to the core, dont do that guys, usually its go home, its not that you shouldnt commit to new tricks but do them step by step, every trick and skill needs training, if you choose to go big and end up going home remember that it will break you mentally for a long time. Stay safe and take your time.

crash pants and jackets are great, i've been riding for 15 years and wear them, it helps boost your confidence in park and makes me crash less. also completely agree, so many people are trying jumps at the park without knowing how to even carve first..

I’ve snowboarded for the past 6 years. I’ve never had to go to the er but I’ve definitely had a couple of really bad wipeouts that should’ve probably been seen by a professional. This is really going to help so thank you

Very helpful video! Although I would say, that it's better to fall on your forearms than just keep the hands to yourself, instead of landing on your wrists. Because if you just keep your hands near your body, the body is going to take all the impact. If you land on your forearms, then you can absorb the impact more and you'll mostly just slide out of the crash. This has helped me a lot and hopefully will help others too. This is not meant disrespectfully to the video, it's just my preferred way of falling. Have a good day!

Love this video! The tip for not going fast on the margins of runs is super important. I saw a horrible wreck a few weeks ago. Please be safe guys.

One thing I'd like to add here for anybody reading this is to be really careful on early season conditions. Sometimes it just isn't worth it to go down a run that may have a bit of snow just because things can be so unexpected. Really spotting your runs spotting your Landing spotting everything that you're about to touch that board to is Paramount.

Eres una persona de mucho valor!! Gracias por compartir tanto, Belin!!♥️🙌🏾

Second time watching this video...as a reminder going into a new season during which I plan to learn some new tricks. Your videos are legit. Thank you.

I'm teaching someone else properly for the first time (been snowboarding for 15 years dw) and i needed to brush up on some basics, because at this point i instinctually fall safely but I can't really explain how, so this was really helpful!

You deserve to be the next big snewboarding youtuber... ur context is lit

Love your videos man!

Wish id watched this before breaking my wrist last week, been boarding for 4 years and its the first proper injury I've had

This video is important, thank you!

Awesome video. My helmets have saved my melon many times over the years. Still shredding safely (but slower) at 60! Ride on.
