A backflip into an upside down darkslide? Car and rider off the same jump simultaneously?
YouTube is known for spreading videos to the darkest corners of our social networks. That’s the reason why the following seven clips are my selection of most viewed by the snowboard community. They are radical. Except for the last one. But it has over 5.5 million views, so being the most viewed I had to display it here on TheSnowBoardScene.
The view count, rounded up to the nearest thousand, that is listed next to each title was the truth as of 1PM on November 16th, 2009.
1 – Backflip Darkslide (508,000 views)
It’s like the monkey bars on the jungle gym, except less dangerous…
2 – Unbelievable Snowboard Accident (572,000 views)
Do you think that actually happened?
3 – Luckiest Snowboarder Ever (1,055,000 views)
Did the boarder see the groomer before launching?
4 – Shaun White 11 Years Old (1,801,000 views)
Nothing to say in words, just feeling jealousy for an 11 y/o prodigy.
5 – Pingu Snowboarding (2,029,000 views)
I love stop motion animation and claymation! And it reminds me of ClayFighter for SNES and N64, with a new version supposedly coming out for Wii in 2010. I doubt it, but wouldn’t it be grand to pulverize Bad Mr. Frosty again?
6 – Ken Block’s Snowboard/Rally (3,335,000 views)
Although nothing compares to this beast, I used to have an ‘03 Subaru WRX I loved to whip around. Snowboarding and rallying may be the best combination EVER!
7 – Painkiller (5,566,000 views)
The chump who put up this extensively long video does not allow embedding, so to view it you have to go to YouTube. Find him and complain. Unfortunately, it’s nothing interesting enough to merit over 5.5 million views. So why that many views? The lodge scene at 4:45 (just jump to it…) where he displays such love for his board and shows off his beautiful red hair and unnecessary padding? Peace to you as well, kind sir. What is the world coming to?

So tell all your friends that they’ve got to check out the coolest snowboard video you’ve ever seen in your life. Or if you can’t decide which one you would have loved to star in, then just ponder, “what would I think and feel if I executed a backflip into an upside down darkslide? Car and rider off the same jump simultaneously?”
Which video is YOUR top pick, my snowboarder amigo?

Those are all awesome, but I’d have to go with #1 due to originality of the trick, but number 6 is pretty sweeeeeeet as well.
