So you're new to snowboarding and snowboardingforum? Welcome!
Hi, I'm Jed, one of the resident snowboard instructors on the forum (yes, the same Jed that runs the snowboard lesson site Snomie.com), welcome to snowboarding!
What's in the lessons below:
Below you'll find a set beginner snowboard video lessons designed to get you making your first turns with less frustration, falling and pain.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask
Lesson 1: Which foot is your lead foot?
Lesson 2: How to strap into your snowboard correctly
Lesson 3: Riding flat terrain with one foot strapped-in
Lesson 4: Climbing Uphill/Downhill
Lesson 5: How to slow, brake and stop
Lesson 6: How to use your bodyweight to move left and right while sliding downhill
Lesson 7: Adding rotation and getting ready for your first snowboard turns
Lesson 8: Making your first turns on a snowboard
Lesson 9: Adding our knees to make turning easier
More lessons to come as well as methods to download the lessons to your phone. I'm re-recording and updating everything in HD as well, so lots more to come this season
Jed...great stuff. I really liked your progression as i feel some instructors make things too difficult when teaching. i'm curious, why did you choose to go with upper body rotation to initiate the turn rather than starting the turn from the board up by twisting it with the feet?
Thanks for posting the videos. I'm a noob, and have been watching a lot of videos, and they help me feel more confident about my next trip down the slopes.
These are great videos, Jed! I look forward to more videos of yours in the future
EDIT: I'm going to be using your snomie videos as I progress too. May I make a suggestion, though? I see you disabled controls for the videos, but some people (like me) enjoy watching the videos in full screen or adjusting the volume; perhaps you could reinstate the video controls? I did manage to dig through your code and find the src link to the video and watch in full screen, but that is no use for audio adjustment

I assume you're talking about the free freestyle video series on my site? Yeah the lack of full screening in that video player bugs me too and I'm looking at changing the player around over the next couple weeks though so that should be fixed soon hopefully.
Just found this thread and was trying to look at the videos. Not sure if it is my browser or a change in how YouTube links work but the videos do not show at all for me - i.e. nothing to even click. Hopefully people don't mind but from looking at the page source I figured out the YouTube links and have included below.

I can't see any videos on my laptop either. I was reading another thread that had videos and I can't seem them either. WFT????
