Want to Learn Snowboarding Without the Feeling That You Are Behind Everyone Else?
If you're reading this you probably know what snowboarding is and are curious if you could learn it yourself. You probably have seen some sweet tricks on Youtube , played a snowboarding videogame that made triple corks look like nothing, or maybe you have some snowboarding friends that talk about their awesome trips to the mountain every weekend, rubbing in their adventures just to one-up you when the most adventure you've had lately is picking up a frozen pizza from the grocery store.
If you are a complete beginner, maybe you feel it's time for you to learn to snowboard so you can finally ride with your friends, take the sweet trips to the mountains, or maybe just grab some killer posts for your social media. Whatever the case, snowboarding can change your life…for real. It did mine.
Snowboarding isn't just a cool sport, it's a lifestyle. It's the ecstasy of the sport world…a flow-state inducing, mind-altering, adrenaline rush that will prime your brain for adventure, and make you completely and helplessly addicted. It will create a passion that burns in your heart that you didn't even know existed until you are flying at 40mph down a mountain slope, snow whipping past your face, adrenaline pumping in your veins about to hit a jump that you just know is gonna give you an epic story to tell your friends for years to come.
The problem with learning snowboarding the first time is that the traditional way to learn is to spend thousands of dollars on gear, coaches, and trips and then a few years of training…when you can find the time or pandemics aren't messing up all the fun.
Going it alone is even worse, imagine a decade of watching Youtube videos, hoping to figure it all out on your own and spending a ton of money on the wrong gear then getting laughed at when you finally get to the park and start wrecking publicly over, and over.
Not to mention the fact you could break your back (like I did) because you go in blind, not knowing what the hell you are doing.
Most of the people you see that are doing cool tricks on social media or in competitions have have had trainer after trainer to teach them every little trick they know. They had someone walk them through each turn, every stance, and take their hand as they did the bunny hills in the park. Doesn't sound too badass does it? That's the reality of the traditional way to learn snowboarding.
The fact of the matter is though, you NEED training, the problem is that traditional training takes way too long and is way too expensive for most people that just want to get out there and get riding but still know what they are doing.
What If You Could Learn to Snowboard in 1% the Time at 1% the Price?
In the 23 years I've been snowboarding, one thing I've learned is that you need to know what you are doing BEFORE you get on the snow. Sure, you can watch a Youtuber do tricks here and there but most of them do a terrible job of explaining what they do, maybe because secretly, deep down, they don't want any competition.
However, if the teacher is right, it turns out you can learn almost everything you need to know online, before you ever even touch the snow. You need to practice on the mountain, but 90% of the knowledge and preparation can be done at home without paying a coach to embarrassingly take you by the hand in front of an audience of other snowboarders. You can be “taken by the hand” right in the comfort of your own home and spend your trips to the mountain having fun with your friends and doing tricks instead of spending the whole time practicing and needing someone to take care of you.
I got tired of hearing friends give up snowboarding because it's too hard or embarassing to need help constantly, feeling like they ruined their friend's trip because they needed special attention or spending too much money on the wrong gear…looking like a complete goofball at the park.
So I decided to use my 2 decades worth of knowledge to create the ultimate online snowboarding training system for newbies.

Why Learn Snowboarding Online?
You wouldn't bake a cake without reading the recipe would you?
Look, I get it, you're probably wondering how you are supposed to get good at snowboarding sitting behind a computer or watching videos on your phone. Let me tell you something I've learned over two decades of mastering the craft. If you learn snowboarding the traditional way, the first few times you go to the park, as well as the first couple thousand dollars or so of expenses, are completely wasted by you falling around trying to find your way through the most simple things. You won't do many tricks, if at all, you will be out a lot of money, and you will look like you don't know what you are doing.
What I've found is that after teaching hundreds of people, the students that have the most success, learn before they hit the snow. They are prepared, they know where they are going, what they are going to do, and what they are capable of. A lot of snowboarding coaches don't want you to learn online because they get paid more if you book one-on-one sessions with them in person where they teach you as little as possible so you have to keep coming back.
The truth is that the best way to learn snowboarding is from the comfort of your own home from someone who knows how to teach it. You'll save tons of money, and not have to worry about looking dumb or fighting a blizzard while you are just trying to learn. Then, take what you learn, and hit the park with everything you need to know already downloaded into your brain, making actual practice 10 times easier, faster, and wayyy more fun.

If you follow what me and my head coaches have been teaching hundreds of others online, you'll learn snowboarding in a fraction of the time because by the time you hit the park you'll already know all the basics and you will be able to focus on your form. People won't look at you like you don't know what you are doing and you can focus on your form and learning those badass tricks that will get you noticed. The worst feeling in the world is taking a selfie and a snowboarding veteran points out a flaw that you would have known to correct if you went through Shred School. Don't be that person. Be the person that knows what they are doing before the board hits the snow.
Shred School Completely Changes the Way People Learn Snowboarding
With Shred School you won't have to wait until you finally save up money for the trip to the mountain, just to spend it practicing all day. You will be practicing at home, even in the offseason, to get ready so that when you do put board to snow, you'll be ready to shred like the pros without looking like a fish flopping around in the snow all day in front of your friends. Shred School is going to give you the right steps to take, in the right order, so you know just where you're at and what level of difficulty you should be riding at in the park. We will go over the basics of Green Squares, Blue Circles, Black Diamond, and Double Black Diamond snowboarding. You'll be able to train multiple skills at once and so when you hit the snow, everything will “click” and the massive amount of information downloaded into your brain will help you cut in line in front of other riders who are trying to learn snowboarding.

About Christian "Ed" Martin, Founder of Shred School
Christmas morning 1997, as I tore open the snowboard shaped package under the tree and saw the Burton Chopper 122 sticking out with a fork in the brain graphic, my little 10 year old mind just about exploded. I had never in my life seen something so… perfect.
That day began my obsession with snowboarding which has brought me from spending the after-school hours of 4pm – 9pm every day of the season riding our little 500ft vertical mountain in Central Pennsylvania to making the migration West at 18 years old, living the Ski bum lifestyle in Colorado, delivering pizzas at night and winning championships during the day.
After a 5 year hiatus as a professional in online education, I'm back in the snowboarding world to pass on the same benefits I've received from the shred.
Snowboarding has given me best friends, it's given me adventure and travel, purpose, flow states, my mental and physical health, significant others, time in nature, something to look forward to and much much more.
I want to pass my love for snowboarding on to others and help them safely and quickly progress to they can experience the same benefits that i have, and feel what it feels like to show up and have your friends rally around you and ask “when did you get so good?”

Don't Take Our Word For It. Let's Hear From Some Of Our Students...
I went from the bunny hill to impressing the guys in the park, and I even learned to HANDPLANT!!
These guys explain it in a way that no one else does, that just makes everything click. The adrenaline rush is unbelievable
They break it down in easy to understand metaphors that make it so much faster to learn than paying for an instructor at the mountain which is hit or miss
You can submit a video of a trick that you've been doing and an instructor will tell you what you are doing wrong or right...it really helps you.
Shred School Seems to Be Geared for All Levels of Time Commitment
It has not only improved my snowboarding game, but now I'm able to keep up with all my friends that I snowboard with.
Warning: Limited Spaces Available At This Price...Act Now
We are doing a marketing test and giving people a once in a lifetime chance to get into Shred School for 50% Off but we are going to be closing this test soon once we reach our limit of people we can coach. So act now to learn snowboarding at a fraction of the price before we fill up and have to charge more so we can hire more coaches.
This Could Be The Moment It All Changed
Like I said before, snowboarding isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle, a personal transformation that breaks your conventions of reality and creates a flow-state inducing adrenaline rush that forces you to keep going back to the mountain, getting your fix, season after season.
Snowboarding is the friends you make along the way, the mountain side conversations, the epic adventures to tell the world about, the legacy of shredding you leave behind, it's the memories you make, the experiences you share, the following you build, the fans that adore you, and the taste of the cold mountain air on a sunny pow day.
If snowboarding is a transformation, Shred School is your secret weapon that can get you whipping down the mountain, doing backflips and getting a wild rep in a fraction of the time it would take someone doing it the OLD WAY. This is the NEW WAY, the 21st Century Shredder learns online and performs on snow.
Gone are the days of trainers taking you by the hand and leading you around, ruining your trip with embarrassing laughs. Gone are the days of spending thousands of dollars on the wrong gear. Gone are the days of wasting your trips to the mountain just learning and practicing and not having fun. Shred School is the next evolution of snowboarding education, and today is your chance to join the movement…the family.
We work to build a legacy of badass snowboarders that came in knowing nothing and were pulling the best tricks in the book after just a few trips to the park.
So you at this point you have three options…
- Option 1: Try to learn on your own and risk giving up and wasting a ton of time and money in the process.
- Option 2: Spend thousands of dollars on traditional coaches while using your trips to the mountain as just practice...for years.
- Option 3: Let us walk along with you as we train you into a master shredder from the comfort of your own home and at a fraction of the price you would be paying traditional coaches.
The Choice Is Yours Shredder…
Would you rather live in obscurity as Mr. Nobody or go down for all times in a blaze of glory in snowboarding history?
