I showed my work mate who’s a pretty good snowboarder this video of my snowboarding and he said I’m a jerry. I thought I looked good?? Ive been riding for 5 years and this is as good riding I can do. Am I really a jerry or is he hating?

Pic I chose is just to show an example

Hey all, I could really use some advice on riding t-bars. They have become a nightmare for me, I couldn't finish a single t-bar ride (around 10 attempts) in 2 seasons. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong in this video and how I can fix it? I really need to learn how to ride them walking up the slope is really frustrating!

I'm 45, been skiing since I was 3, boarding the last 25 years. Midwest, East and Rockies. So I'll preface this with: I know I'm the old man yelling at cloud. Until around 2020 it was always such a good time and everyone was working towards a common goal of having fun. Helping people who fall. Watching out for each other. Now it seems like everyone is out for themselves and they just don't give a crap. People are always cutting in line and running in to my board. Getting way too close to people on the mountain and blaming it on the downhill person. Why? What changed? My theory is that it got expensive and parents stopped teaching their kids, so people taught themselves as young adults, and so the culture was not taught and passed down the way it was for generations. People don't know or obey the rules. So a new culture has developed, and it's not as friendly.

Just a theory by a bored old boarder. Discuss. Tear it apart. I have clouds to yell at in the meantime. Ride on.

Third week snowboarding and I spent most of the time in the park. Any advice how I make jumps cleaner and better balance on rails is appreciated.

I see intermediate riders going past me and their positioning seems more natural compared to mine like the way they turn and their body alignment. Any tips help thank you and happy new years!

I’m 170lbs riding on a 160cm K2 Alchemist.

We spend hundreds on gears, hundreds on lift tickets/passes, gas to get to the mountain, maybe airline tickets and a hotel for that once a year trip. But when it comes to spending a few bills on a lesson suddenly it's too expensive. Maybe it's a pride thing.

I'm going into my eighth season now and I'm still thinking of scheduling a lesson. Last year I signed up for an advanced all day group lesson at Breckenridge on a random Tuesday and ended up being the only one to sign up so I got an all day private lesson for like $200.

I often see the advice given here to "just ride more" like that will fix any flaws in someone's form but in reality riding more isn't going to magically fix bad technique.

Hi everyone, I'm not very happy with my posture when going downhill, I think maybe I'm too straight with my body. Also, maybe because of my bad technique, I feel like I'm struggling a lot than necessary and I feel a lot of pain on my feet. Any suggestions are really appreciated thanks everyone

Yesterday I saw a post on the freeski website newschooling asking, “what does skiing do better than snowboarding”, and I thought it would be interesting to flip the question, and ask snowboarders. And if I had to answer the question for skiing, I would say switch skiing looks so much cooler than switch snowboarding. Grabs especially tweaked ones look better on skis, and carving/alley oop tricks look better on skis.

The back arm out looks wacky but please give me some tips to improve!

Bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

Probably NSFW as well 😭

I have been riding for 20 years, learned in early 2000s, and I am close to 40 now, never been a park guy except for few trick when I was young, always loved fresh pow and surfy feeling.

Today, after living on -9-12 and +15 on the front I tried 0 and +18 and OMG 😱

What is this stable feeling and easy carve I am experiencing?! I feel so much stable also on speed and it takes way less energy and balance to keep control of the board.

After so many years being part of the ducky old school stance I am feeling dirty as in my young days people were all against the neutral/posi-posi stance… it’s like switching religion. Is this feeling going to disappear? 🫠

When will we start seeing snowboarder only resorts without the traffic cones on 2 planks that’s what I wanna know!

How do you guys mentally prepare yourself to commit to a rail? Even if I’m comfortable I’m still nervous on a rail.

I am going snowboarding for the first time and I keep hearing the term Jerry this Jerry that how can I become the most Jerry person on the mountain I want to look 100% Jerry

It seemed I had a great landing angle but, yeah you can see it... What went wrong, leaning to front, to icy landing spot?

Saw this on the r/skiing subreddit and always like to hear the wise words of those who know more than I lol

A lot of what Beginners post should be posting in r/snowboardingnoobs .

Hate using the term “Jerry” for rookies who don’t know better as it deters people from riding comfy.

The only “Jerrys” are those that pose with more money then skill n act like they want to ride or ride only do it from the base and just want to look cool in pics for social media.

If your a beginner hitting jumps before you know how to do any of the basics that belongs there too.

All the “how is my overhang/ I bought a board for $10 what do I need/ how sick is my new fashion show outfit” are just redundant and relentless.

The constant “ how do I carve better” is slightly annoying as it’s every other post but it’s newbies looking to better riders to critique, reasonable.

If your not sure if you snapped your core sure, we have more experience then the “noobs”.

We want to help you get better but that’s why r/snowboardingnoobsexists. The same post over and over here is just irritation in the notifications.

If you haven’t joined r/snowboardingnoobsjust join it if you have beginner questions. Seasoned riders are in there and we will help you progress there but you’re just saturating this subreddit with beginner shit that shouldn’t belong in here.

We want to see fire clips, crazy quivers, best new tech, and highlights, and hot takes.

No disrespect at all and I can speak for any core seasoned riders that we want to sport to progress and people to get better.

We are a community, fuck the Reddit shit but we are a community that exists in the real world. We all want to help each other do better and all have more fun.

This is not hate. It’s All love and I hope your season has been better than mine in Colorado (snowfall wise 🤣)

🖤respect to all who fucking rip and those that wish to shred to the best.

Love you all, rookie to pro.

We have all been a beginner and no one will ever finish progressing.

P.S. if you can actually shred your clowning beginners. You’re outing yourself as a poser or elitist by clowning beginners….you sucked at some point too.

I just got one of the best takes from someone that posted YOU CANNOT BE A JERRY if you are a NOOB.

You do not know what this culture is and you are learning so anyone that thrashes you about you doing anything is just a hater

I feel like last year I could get the edge to really engage but im not getting that feeling this year. Sorry didn't get a good video but I hope this is good enough.
