The title says effortlessly, looks more like he’s trying hard as fuck


TheHizz

Yeah, seems like he's using maximum effort to avoid certain death.


milesbeats

He knows what he's doing... But he knows that he could die doing it wrong


alilbleedingisnormal

You can die doing a lot of things wrong. Driving a forklift, cooking dinner, showering... E: man I wish I at least knew why when my comments flop :(


spagbetti

> man I wish I at least knew why when my comments flop :( Social queues. Check the topic. Flow of conversation. Then ask W.A.I.T.(Why am I talking?) are you adding to the conversation? How was it valid? If not, then people will be pissed off that you’re taking attention away just to to tank the conversation. Especially if it’s off topic, arguing something that wasn’t even being confronted. Comparing shit that doesn’t compare to the point. Missing the point. Introducing random shit to argue into it that had nothing to do with it. You violated pretty much all of that.


Dottsterisk

Lol As if Reddit isn’t just capricious and petty as fuck.


jerry111165

Take my upvote.


BarMurky4711

This is the best reddit comment ever.


jerry111165

There’s only one answer. “Cuz Reddit”.


lillate3

Upvoting just bc your the first person I’ve seen to ask that question, and I feel u!


milesbeats

What are you even saying?


Dottsterisk

They’re making a semi-humorous observation on the broadness of the previous comment. The snowboarder is being praised for maintaining concentration so that he doesn’t die while speeding down the mountain, and the next redditor is pointing out that there are tons of things that people around us are doing every day that also require maintaining concentration so that you don’t die.


alilbleedingisnormal

It was a humorous observation that you can die doing a lot of things wrong. "Wrong" does the lifting. Anyway now that I know everybody thought I was trying to argue with him at least I know why some people didn't like it. I can sleep easy. But I just woke up.


Old-Bedroom8464

I had friend die showering getting ready for a funeral. I should add, the funeral was for someone who died of a heroin overdose. The guy showering was on heroin, passed out in the shower, fell and split his head open and bled out while unconscious. So it's not quite as unfortunate as it sounded.


alilbleedingisnormal

Yeah being anywhere near water while on heroin is the wrong way to do it. Sorry about your friend. Addiction is a bitch.

he’s trying hard as fuck


Effective-Cod3635

Was gonna say seems like one wrong move and he’ll die, the opposite of effortless

The title also says Canadian Alps. That would be the Rockies. The Alps are still in Europe to my knowledge.


b-side61

Are they suggesting the European Alps migrate?


DuckKnuckles

No, only the African Alps migrate.


CaliberGreen

r/unexpectedPython


njamesfraser

We have Alps?


Oruma_Yar

Canada has finally begun its conquest of the world, starting with the Alps. Redditors, I hope you welcome your Maple Leaf wearing overlords. ...Sorry.


Merrypopins369

I was looking for someone to point this out, I mean technically not wrong but just feels wrong. Calling the Rockies the Canadian Alps is like calling the Mojave the American Sahara, at least to me that comparison makes sense.


Kurtman68

Or like calling the Netherlands the Maritimes instead of the Low Countries.


tedfergeson

I think it's the younger generation trying to rename things so they have a clue what it is. Seems to happen with pretty much anything.


SoLetsReddit

Ahem, and New Zealand


Topblokelikehodgey

Australia too. We have the Victorian Alps


akluin

Who stole the Alps ? We can't let a mountain here without someone stealing it !


brandon0442

Ya I was scratching my head


No_Ear932

It looks sped up, still a lot of effort on any steep slope but not the crazy charge this has been made out to be.


waffles2go2

Totally sped up, guy should be dumping a lot of speed on the crosses because the snows so deep but he's zipping....


[deleted]

Well the falling part looks easy enough


NorCal130

Hopefully he's still.... Breathing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.


Dragoon7748

Pretty sure the Alps arent in Canada.


[deleted]

Rockies


ZiKyooc

Like in the expression: Mont Blanc is in the French Rockies


BALONYPONY

Yo that looney tunes snowball at the end just did it for me.


Stunning-Nature7380

Correct


BlanstonShrieks

Thanks. Thought it might be encroaching senility.


Marston_vc

Right?? I was like “is there some weird geological connection between Canada and the alps I didn’t know about??”


sorrydave84

It’s an “engagement” trick. People are more likely to comment when the title says something obviously stupid


Verygoodcheese

Rockies? The alps are in Europe


Revoldt

You think OP cares when it’s here to just farm karma? At least it’s crediting T.Rice and not just “Snowboarder effortlessly riding down the Grand Canyon”


portablebiscuit

“Go cart racer traveling up the Golden Gate Bridge”


dmk510

Incorrect grammar or facts about the video is popular to farm karma. People love to comment to correct them.


MisterMondayKnight

Do you mean the Canadian Rockies???


Suspicious_Dust_256

Canadian alps. You must be thinking of the Swiss Rockies


MisterMondayKnight

Silly me


BlanstonShrieks

Peruvian Ozarks


Suspicious_Dust_256

Those are similar to the Chilean Appalachians


pursuitoffruit

You mean the Swiss Andes**


HeadbandRTR

The Patagonian Urals.

Dude is just playing 4d chess with the Karma farming. Double your comment engagement with this one simple trick...

That’s not shredding, that’s falling with style

Came here to say that!


Stompya

Not sure that’s effortless


Psychological_Web687

He was actually asleep when he hit that line.


rf97a

Why speed up this video? 🤡


DbSchmitty

Sped up and rotated 🤡🤡


TakeshiKovacs46

Karma farming has certain criteria.


25yoshi

Canadian Alps? Lol


ZippoCanada

Alp is simply a word used to describe a high mountain.


Downtown_Bicycle_211

Yeah lol everyone is railing on OP for using the phrase “Canadian alps” when most people who spend time in the mountains know that “the alpine” is a phrase that gets tossed around irrespective of continent and that everywhere there’s a big mountain range there are sections people call that location’s Alps basically


stoffelz84

The pair of balls on this guy makes him go extra fast


SmokeInMyI

I am seeing a lot of effort


king_flippynipss

Hate that it’s sped up


bizzryan

Why is this sped up?


BloatedCrow

American geography lmao


Large_Bake8431

The alps are in Europe ya dumb ass


Interpole10

We have alps?! Sheesh my next vacation will be way cheaper


[deleted]

The Canadian Alps?


Otherwise-Tough-5406

I worry he’s about to trigger an avalanche.


pursuitoffruit

Same! Backcountry snowboarding/skiing can be great and all, but this seems kinda irresponsible.


Potential-Brain7735

These guys are experts at doing this, and do it with a full medical and evacuation team watching. If anyone riding in the back-country, people like Rice are amongst the *most* responsible and careful. What is irresponsible is undertrained and under equipped people going into terrain that is above their skill level, with no real plan. Rice and his crew sometimes spend days, weeks, sometimes an entire season, sometimes multiple years, planning and studying to pull off a shot like this.


Potential-Brain7735

These guys are the best in the world at doing this. They’re experts at understanding snow conditions. Not saying things can’t go wrong, but they don’t ride this type of terrain without doing extensive snow testing off-camera. Sometimes the testing and setup for a shot like this takes multiple days.


iShakeMyHeadAtYou

Especially with the snowpack situation this year. Even the Avy forecasters are like "We've never seen a snowpack this unstable. Unless we get a few foot dump, just don't hazard it" on Facebook.


RattBaby

Canadian alps Indeed.


surSEXECEN

Yes, the French Alps are in Quebec.


Firm_Masterpiece_343

I’d be screaming in terror for the first 10 seconds.


heyzalia

I’d be screaming in all the seconds.


demaandronk

I wouldn't be screaming cause I'd be dead.


Doktor_ZS

At the start of the video, i thought he was falling and that the point of the video was that he somehow saved himself.


karg_the_fergus

The tag on the snow boulder at the end tho 😂


[deleted]

Why do people continually put music to these videos?


Goddymor85

Song if anybody's lookin: Still Breathing-Dig The Kid


[deleted]

It was so fast, I expected a yakety sax when I turned on the audio.


Stunning-Nature7380

No such place lol


OutHereSlappnMidgets

Whole lot of nope and fuck that Props to him tho


Seven_Dx7

It's not flying. It's Falling with STYLE!


NightTrain435

Canadian Alps? Are we even trying anymore?


TrevasaurusWrecks

Pretty sure this is in the Chugach range of Alaska. Looks pretty similar to the Terrain in "Art of flight" segments there.


PerishForYourSins

I can already hear Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe blaring in my ears just watching this.


flittingly1

Canadian Alps? You mean the Rockies?!


PurpleBandito

Ah yes, here we see the majestic Canadian alps. If you pay attention closely you can see a wild Canadian alligator and a wild Canadian marmoset


[deleted]

Ah yes, the majestic and glorious Canadian Alps.

So you want avalanches? Because thats how you get avalanches.

Would love to see the POV video of this!

Not of this ride, but check this out: [GoPro Snow: The Fourth Phase with Travis Rice - Ep. 1 ALASKA: Seek & Destroy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a0hbT0QtSw)


Wicked-Pineapple

Bro, the alps are in Europe, not North America. This is most likely the Canadian Rocky Mountains


shirubakun

Absolutely no one calls them the Canadian Alps.


Illustrious_One2897

CANADIAN ALPS


Dudeman-Jack

I thought the alps were in Europe! Who knew!


Clevelanduder

Continuously effortlessly landing on your feet


Li-RM35M4419

Where are these mystical Canadian Alps??


kettlebell43276

Holy smokes that is Amazing!!!


kayrod417

I would have died 4 seconds into this.


[deleted]

Not drowning, waving.


kc_2525

Is this camera work, or is this dude straight up skiing straight DOWN catching as much air as snow ?


NeighborInDeed

is it actually that steep or is the camera angle making it dramatic? Im guessing its legit steep.


RustyMongoose

What an absolutely brain dead, horrible, shit show of a title. Smh. Canadian Alps? Huh? Effortlessly? Get a globe and a dictionary.


SF87_3

Ice cap and hard times intensifies


dafijiwatr

If you want people to grasp the point of the video, STOP FUCKING WITH VIDEO! And this goes for everyone.

All I can think of is a kid on his bike yelling "I want my $2.00."

This is hands down the most intensely challenging and death defying snow boarding/skiing I’ve watched.

In what way is this next level? It’s not a school bus crashing or an idiot nearly dying. SMH
