No tricks? What's the point?
Gee I don't know, for fun maybe?
I'd like to see you do better. The "trick" is how fucking close to the rocks he got
It's just the camera lens, it's not really that close.
I guarantee you're a lot further away from those rocks than he is while you're sitting in your lazy boy recliner
Actually I'm not only snowboarding closer to rocks than this guy but I'm also typing this on my phone as I do it. So yeah, not impressed.
No tricks? What's the point?
You're right, ~2 feet is plenty of space to snowboard! Believe me this is incredibly difficult and most skilled snowboarders would absolutely not be able to accomplish this
Most snowboarders are drunk on mulled wine so yeah, going in a straight line is beyond them but sober than up and they would go as close to the rock as this guy. I'm sure he can do some interesting things but going straight on a flat tracks is not one of them.
Straight and flat? Did we watch the same fucking video?
It's probably a matter of personal opinion but I definitely boarded on steeper tracks with more turns.
Can’t tell if you’re joking…literally the entire run is a trick. Let’s see you make a single one of those jumps.
If you look closely the track is designed so that the board jumps by itself. You just have to bend your knees a bit and the gravity does the rest. It's not even steep so you're not going too fast. Maybe it's where kids practice? That would make sense.
Send us a video of you doing better, we're fucking waiting bro
And dox myself? No thanks.
Ok, so then just stop saying how unimpressed you are if you don't wanna post a better video
Ok, I'm not going to say it anymore. But I'm also not going to upvote it.
Anyone can go off the jump, the hard part is landing it
“If you look closely” dude, did you actually watch the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hXi9_RTN4o
How about you watch the full thing, see the World Cup and Olympic champion snowboarder get injured on the track, and then maybe go actually step into some bindings and then come back and say there aren’t any tricks here. He literally does a fucking wall ride. You’re batshit insane.
it’s not even steep
You’re a moron. Now I’m absolutely positive you’ve never even touched a board much less ridden one.
If you're impressed by this it's fine. Don't get mad at me just because I'm not. What is is with the internets today that we're supposed be pissing ourselves every time something mildly interesting is uploaded? If they are having fun on their little track that's fine. When I was a kid I would also build ramps out of snow to jump on my sledge. If people like watching this it's also fine. It's good that lemmy is inclusive like that. I'm just saying I'm not that impressed by it. Since when not being impressed is so offensive to everyone?
“Little track” dude. Just stop. You’re trying to make yourself sound cool and better than an Olympic snowboarder. You’re not, you’re actually making yourself sound incredibly stupid and ignorant, not cool.
I’m not impressed by it
That’s not what you said originally and you know it. You’re backtracking now and it’s easy to see.
I would imagine this is just a warmup to get a feel for the course.
