GoPro | 3000ft Snowboarding Descent | Closed Ski Resort
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 гру 2020
- Ski resorts here in France are still shut down. I hiked up for a quick sunset descent. Conditions got pretty icy after the first few minutes but it was still great fun. I'm working on a project to incorporate 360 binaural audio into these videos, it didn't work for this one, so the audio is just from the GoPro, but I've managed to figure it out now - so you'll be seeing (hearing!) it my upcoming videos. I've also managed to accurately track my speed and elevation using a Garmin Fenix sports watch, after having previously had mixed results with the GPS function on the GoPro.

I just started snowboarding and I’m not gonna lie, it’s been rough. But videos like these make me look forward to what the future has to hold.
Keep going, you won't regret it 🤙
Yeah, I agree, keep going and you'll get there!
For most people it’s rough in the beginning, but when you hit your first run without falling it’ll all be worth it. Also everyone learns at a different pace so don’t be too hard on yourself, you got this.
Snowboarding hard to learn but easy to get really good once you get through the first pain. Don't stop keep at it and you will find your way through. It's all in your mind.
Learn to ski instead it’s way better
7 minutes and 25 seconds of pure relaxation... thanks brother, I really miss snowboarding :))
Thanks for stopping by🙏
I miss it man, Why did I got to miss it this year😭
@@nemo_xs3200 same bro same, I was looking forward to going this year and wanted to work on my jumps. It snowed so much in the alps also ;(( hopefully next winter
@@jonas9451 Exactly I wanted to jump 24/7 too this year, and the conditions are sooo nicee indeed :'). Sighs. hopefully I can buy my own board before next year
When all your friends went back to the lodge but you wait on top of the mountain till the slope is almost empty and then just ride it down in one go.
The sunset, the view and the feeling of freedom is the purest experience you can have when snowboarding/skiing.
This gives me a very special stomach feeling and teary eyes. It reminds me so much on that last ride down on the last day of holidays.
Thank you.
So beautiful no tourists around or anything the end is prime
Thanks for watching 🙏
The alps are beuatiful.... :) I WANT TO GO THRÈRE ;)
This was so amazing. Honestly the best part of snowboarding when it's not you trying to survive and is just you shredding the snow almost like surfing. Can't wait to go back and shred the slopes again!
I cant wait for the resorts here in france to be opened back up!
Amazing video man. It’s hard to find just simple pov videos with the sounds of nature instead of music. Stunning backdrop. 👌🏻
The legend is back
Thanks man, wasn't sure whether to post this or not as I didn't end up going as fast as I would have liked, but still - it was fun!
OH ya by the way your my inspiration for snowboarding when I started snowboarding I found your channel and I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work
@@Kurdt6 awesome thanks for letting me know!
You're such a legend for responding to every comment. Thanks for uploading these videos, it makes me feel a little better being able to see the mountains while I can't go snowboarding because of the virus!
Thanks Bob! No worries, sometimes it takes a little time, but i try and get to all of them!
There sure are a lot of people there for a closed resort.
Snowboarder: “The resorts close today.”
Snowboarder 2: “Cool. I’ll meet you there!”
Well you are still allowed to come, just the lifts aren't running...
@@malcolmmoore see thats the difference, back in the states if you did that they'd call the police and you'd get cited. can you take a snowmobile to the top?
@@sledhedone That’s because people are Sue happy in the United States and companies file trespass cases to protect them financially.
@@mikedickinson9730 yes it’s sad, nobody can do anything without paying for it!! We are all brothers and sisters in this world, wish we all could act like it, this world would be a wonderful place. . .
That place is so beautiful, looks like a lot of fun
That was absolutely satisfying! Ty.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 impressed with you keeping your speed through the flats and dodging all the people. Awesome run 😁
Thanks 😁
Epic. Inspiring the world.
Cheers Mark!
Absolutely majestic scenery.
Was stunning!!
Thanks Malcolm this really helps
No worries! 🙏
Great video, just what I love to watch POV with only the sound of the board on the snow. Of course I'd prefer to be doing it but until then I'll do so vicariously through these types of videos.
Happy to help 🤗
That looked epic , no traffic bliss ! Congrats on you GoPro 2020 cameo Malcolm 🙌🥳
Thanks Lisa!
It still amazes me that we all think nothing of tanking down a slope @ 40/50mph on a plank of wood with nowt but a lid on for protection 😂. But don’t it make you feel alive!!
I love Alpe dHuez, we were there last February and the year before that. This video takes me right back there. Can’t wait for February 2022.
Roll on next winter! 🙌
Holy smokes man. That's Beautiful 😍
Thanks, it was worth the long hike!
Well thanks for hiking the mountain for that..my snowboarding fix complete for now. 😄
No problem! 👍
awesome , I hope I will be able to try snowboarding next winter
Love this video!!!
Love you!
Looking awesome malc
Cheers Tommy!
Great video man I hope u had an amazing Christmas 🎄
Thanks man, you too!
This is such a good video format
Thanks man 🙌
awesome work keep it up!!!!!! 👏🙌
Thanks!
This kinda reminds me of last year when the ski resorts in America got shut down and I got to walk up the mountain to ski down although none of the runs even compare to the length of this one. Luckily for me pretty much all the ski resorts are now open, I feel for you guys but this still looks like a blast and you gotta make stuff out of what you got!
Yeah I'm jealous of you guys able to ride lifts for sure!
Great Vid Malcolm. Had Jimmy Sax "Time" as the backing track. Level 4 here in Glasgow 2.3 hours from Glen Coe but not legal to travel there. Gutted. Keep feeding us the snowboarding treats.
Ouch that sucks you cant even travel there! Thanks for watching, hopefully I'll be back with some more stuff soon but they've stopped pisting the slopes for the time being!
Looks glorious and strange at the same time, I felt your pain on the frozen cat tracks to, teeth and thigh chattering!
Thanks for yet another inspiring video! Your comfort zone is a little different from mine. Caught myself holding my breath a few times. Weird to see such an empty mountain. Looks as if you are very comfortable with the new board.. Thanks for sharing!
I would have like to have gone a bit faster on the top section but it hadn't actually been pisted for a few days (they do do it as and when at the minute) so I ended slowing down a little!
Such a beautiful scenery. Greetings from rainy Holland!
Sucess! That's something you guys say right? 😂🤷♂️
@@malcolmmoore haha yes absolutely! Also, thanks for the clip! 👍🏼 Really enjoy the full run vids.
bought for my son (10 yo) for Christmas. He has never had a snowboard before. Good quality. I usually have to strap the boots in for him. Otherwise good quality & works well on our sledding hills.
dream run
Great Video Malcom 👏 shame all is closed in L'Alpe..Hopefully situation will improve over the summer. Impatient to climb again on those superb roads. (Laurent from BéloVélo)
Hey Laurent, hope you're well, and yes hopefully everything will be back to normal soon 🤞
Thanks for keeping me sane!! The slopes are closed around me and I want to go soon bad!!😁
Yeah they're closed here too, had to hike this run! Hopefully you'll be back at it soon 🤞
Hoping to get out to ADH end of season this year COVID allowing, such a beautiful mountain anyway and sunset vista makes it look even better
Hit me up if you come, if it opens I'll be here, if it doesn't, well I guess I still will be, just in a far worse mood!
Amazing video Malcolm, wish i was on the slopes with my board!
Thanks, hopefully soon 🤞
Sounds very crunchy. You could see where you hit the thaw line.
Well spotted!
Use good headphones and you can tell what he had for lunch lol Thanks for the ride!
this is gorgeus
Thanks man!
Imagine snowboarding to work lol crazy
Went snowboard for the first time in the poconos a few weeks ago, can’t stop thinking about it since!
Nice, stick with it, it's the best feeling!
fantastic to people enjoying the snow. great video!!
Thanks 👍
Oh boy I can't wait to get out skiing tomorrow. Wish I lived at a mountain like this though
I'm jealous of you, although I have this, everything is shut still!
I love this resort man, such beautiful mountaintops. Was there last year and made a lot of great memories. Would have loved hiking up there with you for a shot at empty slopes.
Nice, yeah it's so beautiful here, the empty slopes are awesome but I won't ever moan about a slow chairlift again 😂
Man that was amazing. Reminds me of your tunnel of doom video. This sort of content is extremely relaxing, the sound of the board on the snow is awesome.
Keep these up bro!
Cheers man, working in getting the audio sounding better, hopefully I'll have figured something really cool out my the next one!
20k! Well done
Waheyyyy! Thanks!
My thighs hurt just watching that.
and I feel like my board needs a really good wax now.
Watching that was sublime! Thank you.
Sadly no mountains here in Tier 4 London. But it is very relaxing to watch you cruise down a slope (bit icy though). Look forward to the next one (am already subscribed).
I imagine Hemel Hempstead is your closest 'mountain' and even that isn't possible at the moment! That's where I first snowboarded back when it was a dry slope. Thanks for the sub, looks like we have bad weather for a week then I'll be back with some more!
@@malcolmmoore Oh wow, you replied (feel honoured).
I’ve been to The Snow Centre several times. I did a bunch of visits with my last g/f (for me to practice after a gap of 10 years and for her to do lessons) leading up to a visit to Isola 2000 for my 50th birthday. I previously snowboarded at Isola for my 40th (best way to celebrate a birthday in my opinion), hence the 10 year gap.
May take trip to The Snow Centre as a post Lockdown/Tier 4 treat.
@@Rev_J yeah, it's not the same as the real thing, but still, better than nothing! And then maybe back to the mountains next year 🤞
Make the most of it!
Can you do a toe or heel side to stop at 40 mph? I'm still getting use to speed and shaky ground on my board.
do you use gopro? and if so, what settings is this video filmed on?
It must have taken hours to climb all the way up there, but totally worth it :p Beautiful mountains, beautiful sunset, and almost empty slopes, what a dream
Yep, about 2.5 hours up!
@@malcolmmoore That's a quite a good breathing training lmao
@@malcolmmoore I would have died. but man that descent was fun though
Awesome videos dude. What app do you use for speed and altitude??? It’s amazing!!
I’m not a pro snowboarder but what my experience is, is that if I (same for you I think) use your left hand more calm and close to the body it won’t be as shaky on the board. I’m not sure but it worked for me. Love the vid btw keep it up!
Thanks! 👍
Hey Malcom! What are my options to go up the mountain close to alpe d'huez? I am spending one week in serre chevalier and brought my snowboard with, in case there's a way to see snow this time around.
The best way is to have some snow shoes or a split board. The resorts keep changing their minds though and since I filmed this they are only pisting green beginner runs so as not to encourage people doing anything slightly dangerous!
Keeping me sane as always Malcolm. Great video. How long to skin up to the top ?
Just over 2 hours, I walked this one though as I wanted to try out a new board!
@@malcolmmoore which board were you on?
@@alvarob17 This one! thebakerysnowboards.com/snowboard-benatar-one/
You should look into making your own custom board and selling it. I would buy it if it helps me learn how to ride like you
@@benbumpus2930 haha thanks, maybe in the future, we'll see!
Great vid, closest thing to snowboarding I'm probably going to get to this year.
Did you have to walk up? How long did that take?
Yeah walked up, it took about 2 and a half hours! I'm really hoping the lifts open this season but it looks doubtful😕
passing up all those hits!
There was a serious rain crust off the sides!
It’s crazy watching this after going snowboarding for the first time and I realize how scary it can be sometimes. Great Video, and how long have you been snowboarding?
Thanks, I've been riding 12 years now!
I thought the same! The lines are tight on what sounds like Ice. Great control man 😎
Spent my first holiday mostly on my arse knees and face 😂 good fun though
What's happened to the Dancehaul, have I missed a video or was this new board better suited to hard icyish pistes?
Ah yeah I still have the dancehaul, but yeah, I feel like the dancehaul will work better for cruising well groomed pistes, whereas this is more of a traditional all mountain board! Mostly though, it's new and I wanted to try it out!
is this using the max lens mod or no?
Hey im skiing at a advanced level 9 years of experience but i want to start snowboarding , end everything its the oposite from what i learned some advices? I try to snowboard 2 days ago like 10 mins with my friend gear (the boots was 2 number larger) end nothing matched for me😂
Please more videos like this
I literally hiked for 3 hours yesterday to get another one. 10 minutes later when I got to the bottom I hadn't pressed record on the camera 🤦🏻♂️
I know I’m late, but I might go to Colorado this fall for my second time ever skiing/snowboarding. Last year we went for 4 days and I was able to learn how to do blue level on ski’s. If I go back this year, should I try to learn snowboarding in 4 days because it looks so fun, or try to get a lot better at skiing. I enjoy skiing but something about a snowboard looks so fun
Looks like a lot of tracks for being shut down, are there a high volume of folks climbing during the day or is this just the culmination of the season being shut down?
Nah lots of people touring, but also they only piste every 3 days or so, the top bit of the run had just been done, but then the rest of the run had been done a few days before hence why it suddenly got icy!
This is awesome! Watching your videos is a big motivation boost!
Im just a beginner myself, but i bought the K2 Standard catch free edge and it helped alot. Already doing the slopes without falling and even made the straight flats. Though i still suck. Btw, What GPS app do you use?
Keep making videos!
This was made with a garmin watch and garmin virb!
In your opinion how many times going snowboarding does it take before I start feeling comfortable gaining speed?
A couple of seasons maybe, its easy enough to just go fast, but to try and do it with technique is more difficult. To be honest in this video as its pretty icy I do skid alot more than I would have liked to. But when the snow is good and you can carve at high speeds, thats the best!
@1:52 what's that between your board?
also, do they leave you to die if you break your leg? :) canadian resort i was in in march 2020 got real aggro about people climbing
Haha, so I tried to make a box to better record the audio of the snow sounds, so it is foam with a mic hidden in. It did actually work quite well until it fell off! And yeah, they didn't like people hiking much, so thankfully nothing bad happened to me! And sorry for the late reply!
@@malcolmmoore :) no worries. good idea with the audio!
Did you hike up just in boots ? boots with micro spikes attached ? or snow shoes ? That doesn't look like a splitboard ? I'm jealous here !!!
Yeah for this one I just hiked up in boots! I have a splitboard but not really a fan of it for trying to charge the piste!
Looks CGI on my phone. It's perfect!
Love your channel! Just bought a warpig because of your rec! What binding and shoe do you use/recommend?
And I just discovered your union binding video haha. I guess I haven’t watched all of your videos ... yet!
Haha, so I haven't tried all binding brands but here's my take on what I have. Unions just dont last well which is a shame as they ride great. I've just bought burton cartels for this winter, they are a great do everything binding, the one downside is that they are not overly adjustable. Burton malavitas are also great but again you cant adjust them all too much (unless you get the EST version for channel boards). Ride bindings are decent too and I had a pair that lasted me forever they have revamped the whole lineup this season though and I haven't ridden any of the new models. Salomon bindings are also good, look for the ones with 'shadowfit' technology. This is where the heel cup is flexible and moulds around your boot. It feels a little weird at first but I ended up really liking it. K2 bindings I was not a fan of at all, I like a binding that allows you to feel the flex of the board and these did not, the footbed was far too rigid for my liking. As for boots I've been on burton imperials for the last 6 years, I just keep buying a new pair every season as I know they fit me well and have a nice middle of the road flex. The reduced footprint tech they use is important for me, it means that the boot is as small as possible at the heel and toe so as not to hang over the edges of the board if you have big feet. I'm pretty sure nitro do a similar thing too. Hope this helps!
Which editor did you use for the movie? Quik?
Garmin virb for the speedos and then premiere pro for colour grading and exporting 👍
LOVE the speedometer, it really shows your speed and amazing technique at high speeds VERY impressive.
Cheers Ben!
Mate that must have been one long old trek to get up there!!!
Yep, about 2.5 hours! 🥴
what camera/camera mount are you using here?
Gopro Hero 9 with the max lens mod 👍
Man I love you videos! It has helped me out so much in my progression and now I am finally in need of a new board. I'm 6'4 180pounds -81ish kgs and really was looking at the superpig. That being said, would you recommend the large or Xtra large for use taller folk? I wanna be able to charge the mountain but still be able to have the agility in the board to go through the pnw trees. Thanks!
The large will be plenty big enough for you, you're obviously very tall but it's more dependent upon your weight, so I would go for the large! Thanks for watching, cant wait to be more productive in making vids when resorts open up over here!
@@malcolmmoore Thanks so much! Keep it up with the great content!
what app are you using for the speed/altitude
Garmin Virb 👍
I can’t believe the built a ski resort on the Iditarod Trail.
Great videos. Any chance of changing the camera units to metric though? Cheers
This^
Yeah, at the minute I'm pandering to my audience in the states though (70% of my views!)
@@malcolmmoore Fair enough. Cheers.
@@acomav I think I'll just stick both on next time though 👍
That was awesome! I like the altitude and speed on this video! I that easy to add to your video?
It wasnt the easiest no! I have used the gopro quik app in the past which I explain on my gopro tips video at about 13 mins into it. If that works it's pretty straightforward but the gopro is really bad at getting accurate data. This was recorded with a garmin watch and then I used the free garmin software to add in the dials. You then have to manually sync them to your footage, which isn't too tricky but takes a bit of getting used to. It took me a few days of trial and error and youtube tutorials to figure it out!
Trippy looking run ! Is that snow quality soft like western Canada 🇨🇦? Looks icy
Haha not on this day, there was a bit of a rain crust unfortunately!
Looks familar, is it starting at Coulior? One of my fave runs with the kids!👍
Yeah that's the one!
bro have u been in switzerland snowboarding?
I have, not this winter though, but I am considering making the move over there if resorts in france are to stay closed much longer!
Which app did you use to track your speed?
Garmin Virb
OK so the Ski Resorts are shutdown but you can still enter and do some snowboarding. How did you manage that?
I walked up to the top, about two and a half hours!
Love the video! One of my favorite descents in Alpe d'Huez! How long did it take to hike al the way up?
2 hours, he said
@@KiltedTupiniquin Ah thanks! apperently I missed that part...
Yeah just over 2 hours!
Looks like heaven when it's empty. How did you get up top? Hike or dog sled? Sounds icy
Yeah hiked up, and unfortunately it was a bit icy, it was warm in the day and was melting, but by sunset time it was freezing up again!
Wow these slopes look amazing, where is it if I may ask?
It is alpe d'huez in France!
Okay I don't ski or snowboard, I just thought I'd check it out cuz I saw a short clip of relaxing basically zero descent snowboarding that I liked. This clip gave me serious anxiety. Dude is going so fast 😂
And since idk how to stop I can't figure out how he will and that's just terrifying
hey Malcom. great video. is this clip made with the gopro app? the telemetric display you choosed looks much better the one from the gp app. how did you do that? thn‘x 4 fback
Hey, nah I've given up on the gopro GPS and I recorded this using a garmin sports watch with a barometric reader. Then I imported the footage into the free Garmin virb app. If you get good gps data from the gopro you can pull the gpx file across to this app too though!
Great video man, very smooth and kinda Asmr’e?
Btw: it would be cool if you added Kmh in the speedometer thing.
Yeah I might do a dual speedo, at the moment I'm pandering to my audience in america! I've been working alot on recording better audio and actually getting 360 audio like in ASMR vids, I haven't seen anyone combine that with snowboarding. It's taken alot of work getting the mic setup right but it should be ready for my next vid so stay tuned!
@@malcolmmoore that sounds pretty epic. 👌
In this case emptiness = happiness 😎
🤙🤙🤙
What board you using ?
thebakerysnowboards.com/snowboard-benatar-one/ this one! 👍
How do you get that speedometer?
With a bit of effort however it can be done a bit more simply with just the gopro which is explained at about 12 mins into this vid: ua-cam.com/video/_O-rAwuWbp8/v-deo.html
I am however using a Garmin watch for slightly more accurate readings in this video
What snowboard is this and what is your everyday snowboard?
This is on the bakery benetar one, link is up in the description. It's what I'm using at the moment, however this season is a little different as none of the lifts are open so I'm just hiking alot. I also have a salomon dancehaul which is super fun!
How did u get on the top?
I walked!
😍 Except, what is going on at the 4:53 mark?? Why is that person scooching along on their bottom🤔 And do the dog sled guys give lifts back to the top?
Haha that's just someone sledging, the lifts are shut but people are still trying to enjoy the mountains, and no unfortunately the dogs don't pull you up anything steeper than a very mellow green slope!
How did you get to the top?
I walked
How did you track your speed & elevation?
I used a sports watch and the Garmin Virb app 👍
