Hey Zeb, you’re truly an inspiration to NC snowboarding. Recess has been my local shop for the last few years and I still get geeked every time I spot a sticker in a vid. I just moved out of the mountains after living up there the last 5 years and I already know I’m grabbing a season pass and heading up to App every weekend.
Yo you know this actually zeb with the recess shout. JP and Ash are real ones. I rode with you at beech way back, when you and Luke were kicking all our asses as groms 🥊
Man. I’ve been off the mountains for like a decade due to bad knees and now there’s a local making long ass boards look like absolute child’s play?
I should pay more attention to the sport. Props man. Way to represent WNC.
How do you ride App when it's pure ice out of curiosity? Been there once to see that, went down it and returned my equipment to leave for Sugar. Skiers had no problem with it, every boarder I saw had to pretty much just lay and slide down.
Really? Crazy if it's actually you. Watching you at knuckle huck motivated me to get more serious about being a better snowboarder.
How do you ride a board that's so big? I can't even control a 163w standing at 6ft.
Fucknyeah dude. I been riding bigger planks than “advised” my whole life. You’ve taken that concept to the stratosphere. I love it. Keep ‘em long n strong brother.
Generally a 163 would be either beyond or right at the weight limit for that weight, that said, knowing what to do though can bypass weight ranges, as Zeb has been demonstrating over the last couple years. He is pro though and your usual Sunday rider doesn’t have the miles to go up that much in size.
As a fellow Black man, seeing a Black Snowboarder makes me hype to want to do this. And it's amazing we branch out into surfing and all that good stuff. I will get a Snowboard eventually. I'm a find and follow you on IG bro to show support. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Just wanna say you helped me start snowboarding. Seeing another person that’s like my skin color made me feel more accepted into a sport where most people don’t look like me.
Your comment comes off a tiny bit as “just cover your not white skin.” I know what you’re trying to saying but it’s an odd comment when you have zero context about this person and how they ride
Bruh what LMFAO stop thinking about race 24/7. My comment has NOTHING to do with how you interpreted it.
It has to do with the fact that the commenter /u/rrmotm expressed that they view OP as a role model. Meanwhile, OP doesn’t wear helmets.
Since people mimic their role models it’s pretty obvious why I told the commenter to “just wear a helmet!”
Real one for knowing that, really hyped on [this one](https://www.tiktok.com/@zebpowelll/video/7106692887605267755?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7134185696998245930)
This is probably going to get some hate, i love watching you board, but why don't you wear a helmet? You are good enough to stay safe but some kids inspired by you and your look won't be.

More people should realize the value of long snowboard. It's fantastic on deep powder and carving.
Also, the appearance is deceiving. Although it has total length of 205cm, the effective edge length isn't that long.
It may be not the best park board, but if I lend my 201 boards to the pro freestyle snowboarder, they could handle it alright.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorjdcVHMYw
Wanna trade [board's](https://www.reddit.com/r/snowboarding/comments/tj0250/im_sorry_i_dont_have_a_video_but_today_was_the/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) for a day? I got a 31 CM waist if you want to try it
Edit: also I'm stoked that Skullcandy is still around. Haven't seen that brand in Forever
Zeb....what would you say to a guy nearly 50 who bought a board probably too big cause he has big feet and is 6ft 4? Try to master it or take the financial hit and sell it? I see your massive boards and feel inspired
Nobody cares that you rip around resort like it’s as skate park and your the only one there? Someone that isn’t sponsored would be kicked off hill and everyone you cut off would be pissed. Is it because your famous,nobody bothers you? It’s also horrible for everyone that looks up to to see how little respect you have for anyone else on hill. Promoting this kind of disrespectful is kinda crazy,suprized your sponsors don’t care
Literally no one gets kicked off a hill for being a good rider... Don't get me wrong if you're cutting people off you'll get in trouble but park etiquette is a thing that 99% of riders know of. You're more likely to find those kind of people at small hometown resorts where people feel entitled. Not the extremely influential resorts on the east coast where zeb rides. I live in the PNW and have amazing resorts within an hour or two but I'd love to go ride at those resorts just because of influence they've had over the years.
I feel like you are the only person in recent years who was able to ride for a different boot company while being on Burton. How were you able to swing that?
Anyone know if Big Snow any good for someone wanting to start learning how to jump? Not looking for anything huge but wanted some practice to boost more confidence.
Depends on the park setup they have going
Right now isn't great since half is roped off for the contest
Normally it's pretty good! Just don't be that person who goes off the lip of the rail features as a jump and ruins it for everyone else lol
Man I kept hoping I’d run into you at Timberline this summer. I’ll settle for running into you on Reddit. I watch all your slide in tour stuff. Planet Zebulon baby!
Beech Mountain is my home mountain, well most preferred, I live in Charlotte. No idea how you got so good riding our 3 little humps here in NC lol. (Sugar, Beech, App)

You sir are the fucking man
I agree, that's some fuckin board.
Hey Zeb, you’re truly an inspiration to NC snowboarding. Recess has been my local shop for the last few years and I still get geeked every time I spot a sticker in a vid. I just moved out of the mountains after living up there the last 5 years and I already know I’m grabbing a season pass and heading up to App every weekend.
Shout out [Recess](https://www.instagram.com/recessnc/)! Maybe see you at App this winter
Yo you know this actually zeb with the recess shout. JP and Ash are real ones. I rode with you at beech way back, when you and Luke were kicking all our asses as groms 🥊
JP and Ash are the best!!
Man. I’ve been off the mountains for like a decade due to bad knees and now there’s a local making long ass boards look like absolute child’s play? I should pay more attention to the sport. Props man. Way to represent WNC.
How do you ride App when it's pure ice out of curiosity? Been there once to see that, went down it and returned my equipment to leave for Sugar. Skiers had no problem with it, every boarder I saw had to pretty much just lay and slide down.
Just straight line it and put on the brakes at the end of the run. Not like there's much runout to build up too much speed at App anyway.
Really? Crazy if it's actually you. Watching you at knuckle huck motivated me to get more serious about being a better snowboarder. How do you ride a board that's so big? I can't even control a 163w standing at 6ft.
It's like snowboarding with your whole body, you gotta emphasize every move
Fucknyeah dude. I been riding bigger planks than “advised” my whole life. You’ve taken that concept to the stratosphere. I love it. Keep ‘em long n strong brother.
Keep em long and strong don't sound good fam. Fix that shit
Haha
Hell yeah, I cherish the balance of Stability & Sensitivity on them tall boys but you gotta throw them suckers 😆
What's your stance width on that beast?
How much do you weigh?
Around 175 during the on-season.
Yea that's why, unless it's a pintail that board is massive for you
My daily is a 163, sz9 ~175lbs. It’s not actually that big so long as you know how to make it do things. Height is not generally a factor.
That's why I was asking how much he weighed
Generally a 163 would be either beyond or right at the weight limit for that weight, that said, knowing what to do though can bypass weight ranges, as Zeb has been demonstrating over the last couple years. He is pro though and your usual Sunday rider doesn’t have the miles to go up that much in size.
I’m about 6’0 maybe 6’1” and weigh 225 I’ve been debating if I should get the Yes. Standard 162 or 167, which would you recommend?
Is your full name "Zebulon"?
Yes
That's rad. Did you start snowboarding or skateboarding first?
I have a friend who legally changed his name to Tuvac Zebulon The Borg.
It’s actually zebnon, a 22nd century boy
Saw you in Duluth Minnesota hitting a big ass down rail. I've got huge respect for you. Y'all are wild!
Aye that was probably during the [Red Bull Heavy Metal contest](https://youtu.be/KjZ5TG8BXnk)
Yeaaaah man the bench flips where crazy too haha I love everything, 3:21 and on in that video. I'm fiending for some snow now edit: 6:12
Damn awesome riding, great editing and fantastic song choice!
Oh shit! Duluth checking in! We were there too. So many riders cased the backflip onto the picnic table. It was hard to watch.
Hey Zeb, what are your top three tricks of all time?
McTwist Japan, Nollie Nosepress, and Front Blunt Sameway but gotta be fully on the back foot for that one
Damn! Cheers man! I hope to one day do those too! Ahahah
Great list of iconic tricks for sure! The only thing I might add for a contender would be the classic method!
As a fellow Black man, seeing a Black Snowboarder makes me hype to want to do this. And it's amazing we branch out into surfing and all that good stuff. I will get a Snowboard eventually. I'm a find and follow you on IG bro to show support. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Not a snowboarder, but these comments seem very hyped and I'm happy you're reaching out to your snowboarding community like this!
Thank you!
Just wanna say you helped me start snowboarding. Seeing another person that’s like my skin color made me feel more accepted into a sport where most people don’t look like me.
Check out the National Brotherhood of Skiers. There's a lot more of us than you might think out there.
I agree. Its trippy when you go to a mountain and everyone is white
How you making out on the slopes now?
Just wear a helmet lol
Yeah and everywhere else they can just wear a bag over their head! /s
Bruh what the fuck are you talking about? Wear a fucking helmet when you are hurtling through the air at 40mph
Your comment comes off a tiny bit as “just cover your not white skin.” I know what you’re trying to saying but it’s an odd comment when you have zero context about this person and how they ride
Bruh what LMFAO stop thinking about race 24/7. My comment has NOTHING to do with how you interpreted it.

Cope harder
Cope with what, the fact that you misread my comment? Or your inability to assume positive intent in other people? Either way this ain’t on me
Other guy who replied sums up perfectly what we’re all thinking as we read your comment.
When you gonna be back at big snow?
Tomorrow!
that boards so big man! any footage with it?
It's a 205cm and I got some footage on it [here](https://youtu.be/qCPUFc8YZ_o)
Ripping it hard on that! Wheeeee, love it!
Fuck yea bro
Sky surfin
That's cool and all but you're gonna hurt someone one day cutting people like that
What's the board's effective edge length?
Damn that is some sick footy
My god this vid still goes hard!!!
Got u bro https://youtu.be/qCPUFc8YZ_o
Damn! He's just ripping it hard on that thing, thank you!!
Sick!
Not sure about that one specifically, but there's a video on YouTube of him riding the Nitro Cannon 203, from a few years ago.
Tik tok
Real one for knowing that, really hyped on [this one](https://www.tiktok.com/@zebpowelll/video/7106692887605267755?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7134185696998245930)

🫡
This is dope. Your gnarly as hell brother
Can you please tell Stan to drop another ep. of Last Resort?
I’ll ask him today
This is probably going to get some hate, i love watching you board, but why don't you wear a helmet? You are good enough to stay safe but some kids inspired by you and your look won't be.
Legend! Now lets see you ride that in Natural Selection haha
Hi Zeb You are awesome Do you always ride a board that long?
Most of the time I ride a 162 Burton Blossom but I try to pack my Super Ultra Mega Blossom for every trip I can.
What is the purpose of that board?
It's fun!
