    lmao, as a skier turned boarder, I noticed at the beginning of the video how the skier behind you had the t-bar positioned between his legs and wondered how he would get off. I found it unorthodox and low and behold, you catch him wiping out. I love it.

    A couple of things i found out, as a beginner, through trial and error are:
    -dont try to grab the pole with your hands, just let your front leg carry all the weight. if you try to pull yourself up when you get on the bar, when it yanks you forward youre gonna lose your grip and (if youre clumsy like me) probably fall. Just use your hands to put the bar in position, but not to pull the bar.
    -If you get a little out of line and start drifting to the side i've found that using your back arm to slightly alter your center of mass can get you back into position easily. If you wanna go forward just extend your back arm toward the bottom of the slope and move it slightly over the toe-edge line. if you wanna go backward, move it over the heel edge line.
    Great video as always! how do you still have so much snow? :o

    @DjBaapreB Рік тому +12

    I prefer to lean more on my back leg. The reason is that if some unexpected movement occurs (like with an uneven surface) i have the feeling that i am catapulted forward when i lean more on my front leg.
    Also, at the start of the ‘ride’ there might be some sudden sprint; squatting might help to not getting your spine ripped out.
    Thanks Malcolm!!!

  • @mtcsypkens
    @mtcsypkens Рік тому +2

    Many many years ago (almost 25, makes me feel old.. ) when I started snowboarding we only had a T-bar available. I fell so much in the beginning and the teacher kept saying: just relax and stand on the board. Of course he was right, but it took quite a while for me to really relax. Can do it easy now, even throw in a few small tricks.
    Now the only problem with them is that I rather sit in a chairlift. Much more comfortable.
    Btw: buttonlift is exactly the same. If they have a bit of a bend at the end it is a bit more comfortable. If they are fully straight it usually digs in my leg quite a bit. In that case I might hold it under my arm, or just stand on 1 leg on the board. Looks silly, feels better.

    Snowboarding since 1998, I ride the T-bars and button lifts with both feet attached and don't see high risk in doing so, even when considering this on the very careful side. To me it's the opposite, I feel much safer, for me and the others, being able to properly drive my board, especially on llifts with lateral declivity.

  • @snorines

    Hi Michael, love your videos, thanks for all the nice teaching. Is it possible to use T-bar lifts in an alternative way with a snowboard? Perhaps hooking it behind the back hip??
    Snowboarding has been a better option than skiing with my hyper-mobility. However, with these lax joints, the T-bar lift pulls my upper leg out of the hip-joint. The fatigue and pain in the muscles and tendons becomes too much.

    • @malcolmmoore

    • @briancouper1279
      @briancouper1279 7 місяців тому

      Main tip, only hold the button pole with your front arm. The second you use your rear arm, your in trouble. For high speed buttons that launch you forward, the ones that have all the buttons in the big machine at the bottom. Get yourself in position, pointing all in a straight line, rear foot out. Your rear arm in never going to touch the button pole, only ever your front arm. Pull the pole right in tight to your arm pit/chest. Put all your weight on your back foot, lean back toward the rear of the board too. Without changing position trigger the button release. When you get fired forward, use your front arm as a spring/shock absorber, over the first second extend your front arm, this with help you deal with the sharp acceleration. Once moving even up your weight. If you start to overtake the button, gently dip your rear foot into the snow, this drag will slow you down.

    Hello, Thank you very much for your movies.
    I wanted to know your opinion on buying a snowboard or renting.
    If I'm riding about 2-3 weeks in season. Dose buying a cheap snowboard such as RIDE AGENDA, has any advantage of renting? Thanks.

    • @malcolmmoore
      @malcolmmoore  11 місяців тому +1

      If you get on with the board then yes, however if you buy it and don't like it, then you're kind of stuck with it! Also it depends what your rental options are, in some places rentals are quite good, in other places they suck!

    • @rideinisrael
      @rideinisrael 11 місяців тому

      @malcolmmoore thank for the answer. I admire you, and learned a lot from you.
      Probably, I will never know if i will like it. It seem that it is an all mountain board, so what can be? What do you think?
      But I'm thinking that when I will have my own board, I will get use to it and will be able to improve more than if I will rent every time enother board.
      In addition, I will be able to play with the binding angles, something that I never did until now in rented boards.
      Is it make sense? 🤔

    • @malcolmmoore
      @malcolmmoore  11 місяців тому +1

      @@rideinisrael yeah makes sense, the only thing that can really mess you up with buying a board is if its too thin for your feet. So if you have larger feet make sure you get a wide board. Otherwise, you'll like you say get a proper feel for it. I haven't ridden that ride board myself but ride are a decent brand sp I'm sure it'll be fine!

      @avlehtine Рік тому +2

      You mean on the bar or when getting off? While on the lift, I find the physics of it work out so that you really have to mess up to have the nose of your board point so far away from the direction of travel that catching an edge becomes a possibility. Plus, there's really no way of riding the lift except flat. I mean, sure you can play around and twist your board to slide sideways but it's stupid and the lifties will not like it.

    • @mtcsypkens
