World's Smallest Snowboard Stance

I'm currently holding the world's smallest snowboard stance.
Well, it's about to be when we throw bindings on this thing
and we're gonna absolutely rip it here at Hoedown Hill.
I'm excited to try this out.
This is a crazy idea that I came up with
and I reached out to my good friend, Kenny
and Kenny, mad scientist, made it.
Yeah, we'll see if it works.
Yeah, let's throw some bindings on this thing.
So we're going for literally the smallest stance
we could possibly get.
We're gonna be like there, something like that.
I have full confidence that we're gonna rip this thing
because I rode Roman snowboard before
and that went super well, so.
You've also ridden a snowboard made out of skis.
We have also rode a snowboard made out of skis
thanks to Kenny.
And that thing ripped.
The noises it would make.
I don't think you can get any closer than that.
That's so close.
Good job, Kenny.
Yeah, I knew what I was doing.
All right, we'll do the flip test.
Oh no.
So far it feels pretty normal.
Here we go.
Does it look weird?
I think it's gonna still work.
It's just, it's weird.
All right, here we go.
World's skinniest stance.
It's so weird.
I feel like I'm skiing.
When I'm riding just straight, it doesn't feel that weird.
The initial drop was awkward.
Let's get some speed.
I knew this thing was gonna rip.
Let's do another one.
Good thing we got clues.
Oh, dude, she's sturdy.
It feels good.
I'm almost kicking myself for not being at a place
where we can try to ride moguls or trees.
Oh, we got parked.
They have no learner features.
Round two.
I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't scared
the first time rocking the world's skinniest stance.
But we're good now.
Ah!
Okay, second round, we got way more confident.
We're about to have a lot of fun on this thing.
That feels so good, though.
Oh, it makes your riding so much better.
Trust me.
No, it's so goofy.
Have you ever seen a stance like this before, though?
Oh, hell no, I've never seen that.
Should we try riding switch real quick?
Switch skinny stance.
We're going for it.
I thought I was gonna die right there.
This is the best way to move when you get stuck.
It's like 90.
It's exhausting.
Jonathan, have you been to North Star?
Okay, so the stance is absolutely ripping.
It's weird, definitely, obviously.
But you have so much tail,
so if you do feel like you're uncomfortable,
you just lean back,
and the board just kind of brings you back.
It's wild.
But the way Kenny made this is he cut a snowboard in half
and took the inserts from the snowboard
and then just epoxied it on top of another snowboard.
So this is two snowboards in one,
and we used the inserts of the board
that got all chopped up to be really close together.
We might do another video down the line
where we put two people on one deck.
And the widest stance.
We could put the inserts way over there.
It could get really wild, almost as wild as,
I would say, today's sticker shout-out,
but I don't have my phone with me.
But if you guys want to snag an Evolution sticker,
we have so many colors and styles and versions.
It's how we do this for a living.
So thank you so much to everyone
that's been snagging our stickers.
And if you do tag me on Instagram,
I'll give you guys gear and sticker shouts in the vlogs,
which I would have done.
I just don't have my phone,
so I don't have the sticker shout-out.
But Kenny, you killed the build.
I should have brought big stickers to slap on you.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you saw the craziest part about it.
If you look really closely,

Drive!
Oh, we did it.
I don't think I have the balls to hit a rail on this.
The crazy thing is you haven't fallen on it yet.
Oh, I haven't taken a slam yet.
I was close though.
I jumped for the drop and I was like slipping.
I'm quick, man.
When you get the world's narrowest stance, you're fast.
Kenny's about to experience it.
We're about to let Kenny rip this thing.
Rock the fakie.
All right, I've mastered this thing.
Let's get Kenny on it.
It's super fun and weird and unique.
Kenny's got to experience it.
You guys see what's wrong with this bench?
There we go.
All right, so now we're gonna take my bindings off
and got to put Kenny's bindings on.
But instead of showing you that,
we'll just do it really quick.
We'll do the thing where you guys-
Look at that.
Boom.
There you go, Kenny.
I did all the work for you.
Thanks, appreciate it.
So, any tips for riding this thing?
Lean back, go fast.
Any last words, Kenny?
Take a turn.
He's ramping.
You look like a bunny.
Oh, 270.
Let's go, dude, you ripped.
First thoughts of your impressions of your creation, Kenny?
Did you hear me say I look like a wacky,
like inflatable guy?
Inflatable guy, yeah, so funny.
All right, let's get you another one.
Oh, it rips?
It rips.
It's fast.
It doesn't-
It's not snowboarding.
Dude, I wanna snowboard so bad.
You should try it.
It's wild.
Should I put my cane on?
Sure.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, it turns.
Let's go.
Oh no, we lost him.
Well, I guess that's the end of the video,
but he went for the rail.
He went on a bank, huh?
Yeah, he went for the rail.
Hunter, dude, sent it.
Yeah, thanks, dude.
So, sadly, this is how the cookie crumbles.
But once again, this is just like
another snowboard cut in half
and then glued onto this board right here.
Kenny, I still, it ripped for a long time.
I'm very proud of you, man.
Thank you so much for doing that.
Kenny's my mad scientist.
He made the ski board and a bunch of other rad stuff.
He also made resortskimaps.com
if you haven't checked it out.
The resort map of every resort in the United States.
Kenny is a true mad scientist.
And we love Kenny.
So, with that being said, team Mt. Giles,
thank you so much for shredding with us today.
And as always, thanks for watching.
Keep evolving.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Another video is daily on the channel.
We'll do stuff like this.
Bye.
