  • Hey guys, Kevin here from SnowboardProCamp.

  • In this video i'm going to give you a list of the first 10 tricks to learn on your snowboard.

  • These tricks are in order and each trick will teach you a skill that you'll use in the next trick on the list.

  • When practicing these tricks safety is the biggest priority.

  • So make sure the landing is clear of other riders.

  • The first trick you need to learn on your snowboard is how to press.

  • By pressing you'll learn how to move your weight around and flex your board.

  • Pressing down a run will challenge your balance as you pick up more speed.

  • Next you want to learn to ollie.

  • Practice all these around the mountain to get comfortable in the air which will prepare you for jumps in the park.

  • Use the same skill as the press to move your weight back over your tail and spring yourself into the air.

  • Before heading to the park you want to learn to spin 180s.

  • The 180 will challenge you to use your edges teach you how to create rotation by making you land switch.

  • Start with front 180s because you can see the takeoff and landing the entire time.

  • Then move on to back 180s which can be easier because you're jumping from your toe edge but can be more difficult the same time because the landing is blind.

  • Combine your pressing and 180s skills together to do a butter nose roll.

  • This is another fun trick for outside the park and can be done almost anywhere on the run.

  • Butter tricks in general are a lot of fun to learn and challenge your balance and body awareness.

  • Now that you have five strong tricks mastered outside the park.

  • This time to learn a trick on a small jump.

  • Make sure you're confident on your straight airs before trying any tricks.

  • The first trick to learn is an Indy grab.

  • Indy grabs are very straight forward.

  • Bending your knees and reaching your back hand straight down to grab your board.

  • The flat box is another popular terrain park feature and the first trick to learn on it is a 50/50.

  • The 50/50 will teach you how it feels to slide across the plastic of the box.

  • To be successful at 50/50s use the speed and balance you've learned from doing previous ground tricks.

  • Next, learn how to frontside shifty on a jump.

  • With the shifty you learning how to twist your body in the air.

  • This is a skill that used a lot for landing 180s and 360s off jumps.

  • The twisting motion is a skill that also used in the next trick the backside boardslide.

  • The backboard slide is a challenging trick because you have to keep your weight centered as you slide sideways across the box.

  • As you get more comfortable with this trick you can start to add your own style to it.

  • Once you have a few tricks down on flat boxes and small jumps.

  • Head back outside the park to learn front 360s.

  • The front 3 is a great goal to have for your first season of learning tricks.

  • You'll use all the skills you've learned in previous tricks to spin faster jump higher and stay balanced to get the 360 around.

  • To get started, make a trick list and work through these tricks one at a time.

  • If you need help with any of these tricks.

  • Make a 15 second Instagram video of the trick you're working on and use the #MYTRICKLIST and tag snowboardprocamp pro camp and I'll give you some feedback on the trick.
