Never explore the backcountry without the proper knowledge, training, and equipment
In this video I am being shown around Berthoud Pass in Colorado for my first time splitboarding. I am riding with two friends Cameron, and Jordan who have years of experience in the backcountry, and are helping me to pick routes and make good decisions in the backcountry for my first time out. I am using my regular Union bindings from the board reviews in conjunction with the Voile Universal Splitboard Binding kit. This Voile mounting hardware allows you to use most traditional snowboard bindings on a splitboard, so you can put together a first time backcountry set up without having to invest in splitboard specific bindings, which are much more expensive. I found that the bindings work very well and transition quickly despite having a pin based locking system. Please leave your questions and comments down below, thanks for watching!

Where is this?
Hey Ryan, Jeff,
Great Report , 14 minutes long interesting and enjoying . @Ryan How near does the Donek VSR sidecut technology (on an Soft boot Incline Board for example) behaves like a Alpine board?
Greetings
G.
Nice. I actually picked up an old Burton alpine board over the summer that I was thinking of trying out just for fun.

or be silent, or make a subtitle
Was this last season? Where is this? I miss snowboarding. Why are you doing this to me? ;p
Nice work Jeff and Ryan. Pretty impressive what you guys figured out in a few days. Just think what you guys would do after a full season and custom molded boots? Once you figure out how to do fully laid out carves on some really steep slopes the G’s you can pull will blow you away.
Finally, hard stuff!
As a true hardboot fan, I would venture to give very useful advice, it will help in being more confident in bends, especially in the back stance. Use the knee of your rear leg, like a rudder and control the force on it at the very beginning of the turn, this will help to place the board more sharply to the slope. If you are regular – at the left turn try to remove the left shoulder back and slightly upwards, this will help to load the edge of the board more strongly. For control, you can drag your right hand to the toe of the left boot. But do not forget about your left shoulder! For Goofy everything is exactly the opposite. Well, the front turn requires less effort, just do not need to turn the body inside the turn, it is enough to pull the “inner” shoulder up.
And most importantly, to be as low as possible in the apexes of the turn, for this you learn to sit in the rack while standing still. Expand the shoulders and hips perpendicular to the board, you can place your hands for control, and try to sit as low as possible in the shoes without bending your back. The shorter you want to get a turn, the lower and sharper you need to get up.
Good luck to all!
I will never understand the hate alpine boarding gets. “Limited” yes, but in the same way a Ferrari FXX is limited.
You just amaze me. Riding switch without duck stance, impressive
Hi, Ryan!
and you do well in the alpine carve! )) What do you think about this carve style? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-gmlp5VjQs
side slipping looks even more stupid with that stance
is Jeff from New Mexico?
Buddy I have not seen you lay that shit down like you do on the freestyle board. Let’s see the horizontal action!
Hi peps
Meanwhile the place where I live is 95 degrees
Nice vid, and thanks for doing the review. I’ll be in the area this February for some side slipping tutorials, let’s ride! And riding switch is possible on an alpine board. I submit this video as evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YraJ20u5kB8
What is your Snowboard Glasses? From NFX but which model? Could you tell me? really appreciate it;) looks very nice!
Crazy question maybe, but why can’t you get a more ducklike stance on this board with these hardboots?
PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON THE SALOMON HUCK KNIFE 2017!!!!!
Do powder boards really help? I”m thinking about getting one. Last time I went to Loveland and nothing but fluffy snow everywhere. but it was very tiring try to go without getting stuck. I was on my back foot the whole time but man that gets you thigh tired quicky. The board I have is a all mouatin board. So is a powder board worth the money.
I do not fucking fucking understand what you’re saying. I’m from Russia. But to me it’s important that you talk. Because I want to roll like you.Андерстэнд ЁПТА ????врубай свой переводчик СкА
Next time maybe you show how to merge split board to snowboard with camera closer. Because it is the most important thing for me as a customer .Downside is this for the video
Great Edit. I really enjoyed the music. Thanks for having me on your channel! Was a blast making this.
Very tempting to try out but I got Knapton Twin for this season 😛
Niche vidéo! What is your jacket?
Have you ever thought about putting hard boots on a wide board at freestyle angles? I wonder how that would be? I would try it if I had access to the equipment. It looks like you do? You should try it, please. I would love to see it. It would probably be pretty hard? But…? Of all people, you would be the best one for the job.
Where is your helmet? I just took Avy1 class and learned Backcountry is a serious deal though and you had that pole by your head X0
I see you listening to tame impala 🙂
Hey TJ! Awesome video) Cant you please add some ECT or CT before you dropping? Thanks!
Hmmm, what about a twin-shaped alpine board, hard boots, and duck stance? Would that combine some of the best elements of alpine riding with freestyle?
Thanks again for the @mention at the end. Thanks most of all for helping me fall asleep while I watched. And how dare you say I don’t shred. I’ve gone a dozen times since ‘01
just epic!
Hey, a few months I asked for splitboarding and here we go.
Thanks for the great content.
Greetings from Germany
not one bit
nice!
I’d like to try this too someday but can’t find many demo’s in poland
Не делай этого!
Glad to see the Flux out there. I actually have the Flux in a freeride softboot setup. I love the torsional stiffness as I think that is were the speed (plus the base rocks) comes from. Not to mention I got my Flux super wide (28.6). I’ve raced at Keystone and it was clearly my (now not so) secret weapon. Get on a Donek!!!!
Where do you go to learn about the backcountry training?
sickness
Those boots look so bad XD great video tho 😉
Would love to see more splitboard/Touring content!
First…..Great review intelligently done which is a huge surprise. only joking. interesting points raised
so when you use a split throw the skis (the split board) so the two curves are are on the inside of your foot and the straight edge top to bottom is on the outside of your foot. better edge and easier walking. great footy.
I nearly gave this a thumbs down, because I won’t get to snowboard until Feb and that may get cancelled. Well jel!
TJ what are your mittens?
-What do you think?
Ryan asked while sliding away, not afraid of the answer but carefree as he knew.. was the truth.
HOW ARE YOU FUCKS STILL RIDING?!?
Interesting you mention wanting empty wide runs, cos I was gonna ask! 🙂 I’ve noticed the alpine boarders are very picky about when and which runs they’ll go out.
5:31 NINE out of TENN????
ARE YOU STUPID????
LMAO
Pretty clear video Ryan, impresive!
looks like a great pow day! awesome vid.
This is honestly so awesome
No disrespect Ryan, but how the hell is it even possible you ride so much yet you don’t lose weight (I look almost the same as you hehe)? 🙂
Great video!! I also had good/awkward feeling at the same time with alpine boards. =) haha~
So much snow.
Hey Ryan, Jeff! Thx for the vid! I’m still not that much interested in alpine snowboarding, can’t really see the fun into it. It is too specific, i prefer an all around snowboarding style; i can carve, jump, do tricks, ride backcountry and enjoy fresh powder. If i was living near my usual resorts, i would probably look into it. BTW, credit music? I love it!
First !!
awesome vid as always TJ! Keep it up! I bought the neversummer funslinger this season motivated by your review and I really love the board.. maybe I’ll look into splitboarding now 😛
The side slipping doesn’t look as reta… I mean super awesome with the Alpine board
Matt is still open I checked
Good video! Can you still adjust your stance with this kit or you’re limited to however you’ve drilled it?
Don’t understand why anyone would splitboard. I’d rather just get snowshoes and carry a regular board. With splitboard u get a shitty board and shitty pair of snow shoes so what’s the appeal?? Snow shoes are so much easier to walk in and regular short fat board like Warpig or, slush slasher, 420 is super light and easy to strap on ur back. Also split board are so expensive why would anyone pay more for a shittier board? This is a fad imo
First split board riding I’ve seen. Looks like a way to get the best powder available
nice video dudes, i have the same bindings and they work great. you should do more backcountry videos!
zi thought this was SNOWBOARD pro camps no ski pro camp
That’s just looks so awesome! 🙂
i mean… if you buy that board you kind of wanna have specific splitboard bindings what i did was sell my normal bindings and just buy my splitboard bindings and a retro fit system for my solid board 1 pair of bindings for the whole quiver
sweet! I converted from universal to split specific pin-less mid season and it cut 2 lbs. off my setup. Such a huge difference in uphill speed and endurance! Added 2 or 3 laps per tour.
That ski pole behind your head makes me super nervous haha
I enjoy watching you guys even though i am a skier xD
When was this filmed?
So Iv never ridin a split board, what’s the control and feel like compared to a normal board!
could you please do a video on how to set up the universal binding system?
nice vid! can you do a review on the Jones Mind Expander Split? thanks
fuck you TJ :)) great video as always. I really need to move to fucking CANADA I can no longer stand this channel
My resort closed wayyyy too early and I’m so triggered on a good snow year too!
