#HowToSnowboard #MalcolmMoore - Навчання та стиль
I do like these exercise/drill videos, Malcolm. Some days I spend the entire day just repping a single run, trying to improve my technique (I’m just past beginner, doing my first blues, and trying not to get bad habits). 52 years old, and thanking you for teaching me how not to catch an edge :) Thanks!
I'm younger, work in the gas and oil industry in Canada. Not much time, but when I go snowboarding I enjoy just doing exercises, drill. I love techniques, drills. That's why Malcom is my favourite teacher for snowboarding online. I wish him huge success.
Plenty of seasons left in you yet I'm sure!
Bro, awesome you're still doing this. I'm 46 now and only recently decided to get into this sport. This will be my 2nd season.
Like you, I spent a good amount of hours each day doing drills. And finally, finally I got to that moment. As Malcom mentioned in another video, the moment you feel that carve and your edge gripping, it's like magic. Even more crazy is taking your board and literally surfing down the run. A great feeling. For me, with the powder I'm just imagining like I'm surfing the waves back and forth while doing my s turns. Low and on the edge short and wide S turns. An amazing feeling and fun. Still doing drills for the goofy side so I can ride switch for even more fun.
Helmet saved my life and the butt pads saved my tail bone. I fell twice from catching heel edge, falling backwards. Make sure the gear is quality. My tail bone suffered bruising the first time with some cheap padded shorts. I upgraded to a better one and the second time I fell hard, saved my butt despite it being bruised still. I dont know how old you feel, but stay safe and wear protective gear at all times.
@@mankybrains Hi guys, please, enough with this age thing. I’m much older, so much more experienced and knowledgeable about snowboarding than most riders on Earth and I ripped up the mountains all day long, carving perfect pencil lines with my 75 year old woman friend.
@@snowboardguru6794 Sweet! I'm glad you commented. I'll be doing the same as much as I can by that age as well. Even more awesome you're alias :). I won't be able to surpass you in skills just yet but one day hopefully. Ride safe!
i could never afford an instructor. Thanks for give me the oportunity to learn from an awesome teacher.
My pleasure!
One thing that really helps when trying to clean up your carves is to listen. The more you skid your turns, the louder they will be. Try to make your turns as quiet as possible, while thinking about tilting your body over each edge like a metronome.
As you transition between edges, pay attention to what you feel in your front boot. You should feel it press along the outside of your foot from pinky toe to heel as you change edges. If you ever feel the boot pressing against the inside of your front foot (your arch), you're likely leaning back towards the tail too much.
Great video as always Malcolm!
That's a really good tip man :) definitely stealing it from you for next time I need to teach/help friends learning to carve!
I’m an advanced snowboarder, I’ve been doing this a lot of years and can ride anything, but I still like to make some time to do your drills to freshen up my style. Keep making the awesome videos!
Awesome, and yes, I will do!
Same here! Next week I'm going to Canada to start my 25th year snowboarding, but I still watch Malcolm's videos to see where I'm going wrong. I know I've picked up some bad habits and he shows me how to get back into line 😁
Really like the new format insert so the main screen still has the full exercise. Much easier to follow, cheers
Love drill videos. Been riding for 10 years but wasted so much time just aimlessly going down the mountain instead of actively trying to improve my technique. Last year I took my first steps towards becoming an instructor. It was basically the first time I had a teacher and they completely changed my perception and view on snowboarding. Been focusing much more on fixing bad habits and improving overall stance, switch riding, carving etc. I've always loved snowboarding but theses past trips have definitely been the most fun I've had on a board. I still catch myself going into tunnel vision and just speeding down slopes from time to time but I usually always have a goal while riding nowadays. Your videos help a lot! Keep up the good work :)
Ah I'm so pleased you're getting lots from your riding now, keep up the good work!!
Malcolm, I have been self-learning snowboarding and your channel is the best of all. I’m so grateful this trip I finally mastered Carving by watching your videos.
Definitely I will recommend anyone who wants to self-learn snowboard to your channel.
Thank you!
Awesome, that's great to hear, thanks!
Thank you for this. As a newcomer to snowboarding late in life (starting in late 40s) who rarely gets in enough time, I always feels like each year I'm starting from the beginning. This will be bookmarked and a reminder for me each time I get to the hill. Cheers!
You're very welcome enjoy!!
Never too late dude! Like you, I started late - my first trip to the snow I was just turning 40. Feels like we missed out, but I've been trying make up for lost time ever since. Channels like this really help. There's lots of stuff out there, but Malcolm's channel is definitely my favourite. Bite sized vids, clear explanations, and homework exercises to take on to the slopes!
It's never too late to start man! I think riding is all about that feeling it gives. I've got 25 seasons under the belt and am still looking for new ways to practice the basics, it's just that kind of a sport.
I love the edge pop addition at the end of the falling leaf! 20+ years I've been an instructor and what I love most about that time is how I'm continually learning new ways to help others learn. Thank you for a great vid.
You're welcome, so happy it's helpful 🤗
dolphin turns are big, especially when you combine them with moguls (using the ollie in the trough to 'slap' the next mogul with the tail of your board, sending you up and over the bump rather than forward out of control). not great at it yet, but every one in three or so feels dope!
That's the only one out of the list that I can't do. 🤔
It's always too busy, or the conditions aren't idea, so practicing it is almost impossible on holiday.
If I could make it to an indoor slope, I'd try it though.
Yes! I can do them all! I'm not hopeless! If seriously, I've been watching you for over a year now and I improved my technique big. Talent is in simplicity, and your explanations are easy to understand yet very efficient if you follow them. Great work and Happy NY2024!
Thankyou and happy new year to you!
Amazing video, super useful and straight to the point guide on what to practice on the slope
Love the drill videos Malcolm!
Great stuff MM!
Yes please. Great exercise exercises for home work 🤓
Love the dolphin turn, I definitely need this to improve my edge changes on diamond runs
I can’t wait to try these out next season, will also be great when boarding with my wife who skis slower, so these slow disciplined moves will really add fun.
Fantastic, I'm looking forward to trying these out and getting my season off to a good start! Have you ever done a video on improving ollies? It was a big focus for me last season to get more height, particularly off side hits, but I don't feel like I actually improved all that much. In the offseason, I've been working on my flexibility and strength, particularly in my legs, so I hope that helps when I get back on the board. Your videos helped me improve a lot in other areas last season, so I would be thrilled if you made an ollie deep dive eventually! Cheers!
More please!! Thanx!!! 👏👏👏👏
Love drill 3 got my switch going really well last year. Can't wait to get back into it in when I visit Canada in a few weeks. Cheers malcolm
Love these. Thanks MM
Thanks 🫶😊✌️
Awesome! Thank you !
Thank you 😊😊😊
thank you verry mutch, greedings from germany
Love how you explain things thoroughly! Thank you for doing you!
You are so welcome!
Yes to more drills! Thank you!!
No probs 😊✌️
All of this moves I use on my snowboard lessons. It's so cool that we were thinking same way about how to improve in snowboarding.
Thanks, Malcolm! The drill videos and overexplaining are super helpful and have made me a better, more intentional, boarder for sure!
Great to hear!
Well done! This additional context makes it less of a vlog and more like a true lesson. Thanks, MM!
Great glad you liked it 😃😃
great technique really helpful
Awesome happy it helps 😊😊
Thank you for this top-notch content Malcolm. I truly enjoy your channel for everything it delivers. Looking forward to giving these drills a go! Keep doing you!
Many thanks, I appreciate that!
Thank you man 🙏🏻 really appreciate your time making these videos, can't wait to get up to Scotland at the end of this month 👍🏻 love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks so much appreciate the kind words!! Enjoy Scotland 😊🏂✌️
These are great drills! Love your work!
Thanks so much 😊🫶🙌
Nice, thanks for all your help. Well done, 😎
Happy to help!
Great video. Thank you. I have used this to help when teaching. The examples are great. It would be helpful if each of these drills if you did them in slow motion as well. Overall great. Thank you.
Great video, the most beneficial thing has been when you talk through the mechanics of a movement like with drill 3 and adding in the reverts, love that level of detail!
Glad you liked it!! 😊😊
It's absolutely a pleasure to watch your riding
Thanks so much 🙌😃
Commentary is on point Malcolm. Lots of good tips to help sense wtf the body is doing. Works for me 😊
Awesome thanks ✌️
You asked us to comment on if these kind of drill videos are useful. Yes, definitely, at least for someone like me. I think you got a good balance in terms of how much explanation you built in. More like this please!
Awesome video as always. thanks Malcolm 💪
Many thanks 🙌
Thank you, I like these drill videos, I will try.✌
Enjoy!!
best drills with even better explanations. Definitely gonna try it next week
Thanks so much!! Hope it helps 😊😊
Wow, what a great video Malcolm! I've been riding for many years and I always learn stuff from watching you...thanks!!!!
Great to hear!
Thanks for this video Malcolm. I don't have a chance to get up as often as I'd like but have been riding for a long time. Watching your videos helps my mental when I'm dying to go make some turns but I can't RN... But when I do, having a quick go through the fundamentals you show off, makes getting back on that 'bike' so much easier.
Awesome to hear !! 😊😊
Great exercises can't wait to try them out. Anything to improve riding 😊
Brilliant enjoy!!
Thanks and yes: please do make more of these drill videos!!
Will do! Thanks so much 😊😊
I love ur videos, millions thanks! because of you i m snowboarding today.
That's awesome!
Awesome Drills.. will be doing this tomorrow on the Mountains!!!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!! 🏂😊🫶
Excellent Vid, they are great for me as a low intermediate Thanks.
Thanks for watching 😊✌️
effin' brilliant, mate! i needed this.
Awesome 🙌
Been watching your videos, and finally been made aware of my 25 years of bad habits in snowboarding :D have a lot of work ahead of me weeding em out
Haha happy to help 😄
I;'ve been waiting for these kinds of video, crazy, appreciate this a lot!
Glad you like them!
perfect video! u did welll
very clear and precise description of the movemnts. well thought out excersises . thannks
Thanks so much 😊🙏
Hey Malcom, thank you for all these videos! I've spent 5 days so far from zero snowboarding to carving, turning, and gaining confidence. Would you be willing to do a video on a proper olly and things to avoid or make sure we do?
I want to get to dolphin turns but don't want to pick up bad habits!
Love it! ❤
Thank you!!!
Thanks Malcolm, gonna try these when I get on the slopes in January
Hope they help, enjoy your holiday!!
Malcolm these videos are brilliant. I watch them over and over before I go away and try to use all the exercises on the piste. I started watching three seasons ago, before my first trip teaching my 10 year old to board and they have been invaluable. We are heading off to Cervinia in march (he’s 13 now) and we were really excited to see the Matterhorn in the background of one of your latest vids. Are there any exercises you think would be good for two boarders, watching each other and spotting each others problems for example. Or games to play that would help me help him move into switch riding. We are the two boarders in a large party of skiers and we like to get off on our own and find the steep stuff every now and then, that gives me good time to work on both our techniques. Keep up the good work. Alex
Easy to see your passion for snow, waching how good and dedicated you are helping us learn. Thanks
Thanks for watching 😊😊
Love the drills @Malcolm Moore. Haven’t been on a mountain for 5 years, heading out to Bulgaria next month, any recommendations for strength & mobility exercises to do in the meantime? Love your work!
thanks a lot!!! awesome clip
Thanks for watching 😊✌️
Good tips. I'll run though these next week when in France. Can't wait
Fingers crossed for some more snow by then!
@@malcolmmoore snowed yesterday so today was pretty good. Even got some sunshine
great videos thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
I love this Picture in Picture format. Keep up the good work
Thanks!! 😊😊
Really good drills! Can’t wait to practice! Definitely share more drills 🤙🏽
Thanks so much!! Yeah more drills videos coming 😊😊
You are the master!! 😉😉😉
Thanks 🙏
Been riding my 26th season this year and felt like the base exercises were not challenging me anymore, but wanted a way to get better at the basics. All the little tweaks added to those exercises adds a lot to the level of balance and control needed. Love it, thanks a lot, definitely adding those to my practice rotation.
Great to hear!
Been practicing switch riding, going to try these in switch too to improve!!!
Go for it!
Beautiful cloud/mountain view.
These views 🙌🙌
This is fantastic video! I learnt how to snowboard thanks to you, got confidence on red slopes in Austria and I really want to be better in doing curving, jumping, changing sides etc. Your videos are always so good, I feel that when I go to a piste I can squeeze the maximum out of me, from what i've seen in your videos and that makes me a better snowboarder. Big thanks, once again
Many thanks, much appreciated thankyou!
Hi Malcom, great vids as usual, do you have some content on stance widths angles etc also what are your personal settings board size etc, thanks wilko
I'm really happy to find out that I've been doing #1~#3 challenges. Thank you for these great videos. I think it's helping me become better snowboarder!
Amazing awesome to hear 😊🫶✌️
Thanks!
Wow thanks so much!!!!! 😍😍
Def saving this one to use on my first couple of days on the slopes
Yeah do it 😊🙌
Love the first couple of drills to try! I’m still trying to get a proper toe side and to just properly basic carve. I’m still very new & struggling with toe side as I caught my heel edge back in March & broke my wrist. Now I seem to have a brain block. Will definitely try some of these as soon as the weather improves and we get some snow here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Fingers crossed for snow!
nice video; thanks!
No worries 😊😊
I think you explain perfectly bro 👊🏽
Ahh thanks 😊🙌
Thank you , your videos are helpfull
You are welcome!
The video and commentary are perfect, you have inspired me to get back into it after a 10-year absence.
That's amazing 🤩🤩
Cracking video as always
🙌
I love these drills and feel like each one can be broken down in a separate video especially the mirror turns.
Ok yeah good shout! 🙏🙌🤗
Very good drills! I recently was giving a new boarder a lesson and had him focus on a couple similar drills. He did very well and was able to figure out which stance he preferred. He didn't know if preferred goofy or regular. He started doing turns after he got used to the drills. He said he spent all day on the bunny slopes.
I got him to go up with me on the green runs and he got to spend more time on the run than on the lift. The bunny slope lift, he would have spent way more time just riding the lift then practicing. I definitely wasn't as good at explaining as you but he did understand. I referred him to your channel for further lessons. You definitely have helped me help others.
That's awesome to hear!
These drills are great! I'm an advanced free rider looking to polish up my carving and add some buttering. I use your drills to teach my sons as well, they're 5 & 7.
Ah that's awesome to hear!
Hi Malcolm, nice content as always. When I go snowboarding I feel very tired on my quads just after a couple hours, and I have good legs. Do you have any tips for reducing riding fatigue? I feel it's a bad riding technique rather than bad athletic form.
Slow speed carving riding switch is what I practice when riding with my kids!! ❤
Love the drills AND explanations! Just started to learn riding switch over the last 2 years. These types of videos help me narrow down my focus to improve technique when it feels like I’m almost starting over as a beginner to learn switch. Keep up the great content!! 🤘🏼🏂
Awesome thanks!
Thanks
Thank you so much!!!! 🤗🙌😍
Your teaching had helped me a lot. I'm 50 years old. I'm learning how to spray snow and ride away. Is there a proper way to do it? I want to make a short clip for my wife being sprayed with snow by me! I'm just passed beginner level and looking forward to improve my ride. Thanks a Ton!
Love those drills! Would be great to have a visual recap at the end to screenshot. So that I can remember those drills for instance on the lifts 😊
Great idea!
very very beautiful movement
Thank you so much 😊🙏✌️
next awesome vid THX man
questions?
How can I regulate the speed when cornering?
How do I become fast at curves?
How do I slow down when cornering?
How can I keep the speed the same when turning on red slopes (relatively steep)? when i curve?
Haha lots of questions!! Looking at covering this in some future videos but look at my steeps video for the moment, good luck out there!! 😊🏂✌️
Very nice, now you need to do the same thing as the advanced carving video you did a few weeks ago. 5 advanced carving drills. Challenge the expert riders out there !
Yeah good shout 😃
@@malcolmmoore Always looking for new drills, it's not because you are an expert rider that you can't still improve and work on technique.
Hi Malcolm, if you have time please make a tutorial for dolphin turns, like how to achieve it step by step. And yes please, more drills
Yeah defo more drill videos coming 🙌🙌 thanks for the support
Hello Malcolm, I can officially say that I am an intermerdiate snowboarder thanks to you. I Gathered the courage to do the Sarenne run at alpe d’huez this weekend after watching your video and did 10 other black pists right after. Would love it if you could do some more videos on the challenging runs you come across during your season as I would have never done the sarenne if it werent for your video. Thank you for all the joy you have brought into my life through your advice videos!
Did you go as fast as him? 😅 I'm still getting used to the speed going downhill so I'll occasionally make myself slow down a lot.
That's awesome to hear, I've got a long lens camera to try and make filming steeper runs a bit easier, as having someone follow me down nasty slopes doesn't always work!
That's great, we need more snowboarders riding (EU) blacks and yellows! 👍
Be sure to do Sarenne first thing in the morning, too, such a difference to the afternoon moguls - you can smoothly carve almost the whole thing.
Oh and I second showing the interesting technical (aka steep) runs. 😀
@@mankybrains no way haha i use speed checks and also took a 5mn break in the middle of the run !
@@elho001 Thanks yes i went as soon as the lift opened as per Malcolm’s advice haha !
I’ve heard that a positive-positive binding angle is better for all-mountain riding and a positive-negative binding angle is better for freestyle riding. Could you make a video detailing the pros and cons of using different binding angles for different conditions?
For sure will try these drills.
But that last one seems hard to do. Never done an ollie before. But will give it a try
Its so simple even a kid can do it! 😂😂😂. Only reason why I told myself to go down a black diamond though I was still learning. Sure enough, it wasn't too bad as long as you stick to good technique. Of course I stumbled and grumbled down the black diamond the first few times but still at the end, great fun and enjoyment.
@@mankybrains I tried a black diamond run once in a sunny blue bird day. There is only ice left on that run and I cannot even stand on my heel side there 😱
I get a nightmare after that run. 😂
@@tontj yeah, that totally sucks. I did that last season a good amount of ice on the black diamond. Sadly though, I found out each mountain has it's only 'universal grading' of how the runs are labeled. Over in California, there are 3 resorts from Vail. One being the easiest and the other two progressively harder. The black diamonds at the resort I go to is considered green by many at the other resort. 🤣🤣🤣
Another awesome video. Will you or have you made any videos on snowboard-specific fitness or strengthening exercises? My riding ability is pretty good but my thighs just buuuurrnnnnnnn so much towards the end of each day!! Is it as simple as spend more time riding or is there anything away from the slopes that could help?
Yeah I've had a bit of demand for this video so will have a think! Get squatting in the mean time 🦵🦵
@malcolmmoore - I incorporate squats to my toothbrushing routine (bear with me here!). 2 mins alternating 30 secs of bodyweight squats with 30 secs squat held in a static position, repeat twice, morning and evening. Yet still my flimsy thighs were giving up on me by the end of day 3 😁
Hi Malcolm, thx for another inspiring tutorial with exercises to start the new season about to begin!
Well, even far away from dolphin turns, one thing I noticed on both videos covering them (short turn video in addition): it seems like you're checking landing area as you take your head down just before touching down front side. Or am I getting it wrong due to camera perspective or such? Usually you don't look what your board is doing and look in direction of travel. 😉
Hmmm, didn't really even notice that, but yeah I guess maybe I'm looking down a bit more than usual!
Hey Malcolm loving your content!
Thanks to you I identified that I'm stuck on skidded turns and in my attempt to progress further, I actually pick up some bad habits. Would love if you can make a step by step from upgrading from skidded turns to carved.
Also in my country, ski pistes aren't as wide and empty, as the ones on your vids. Whenever I manage to get away for a few days of board, I'm forced to snowboard into huge traffic of people on not so wide terrain. I really feel I don't have the space to start trying carved turns, as some people in front of me are just learning and some "pros" for some reason fly on the edges with 100 km/h ... I always feel stressed and pressured and can't allow myself to gain some speed and try to feel out the board. Really not sure how to solve this, unless switching ski resorts.
I try and film videos outside of the holiday times so early season if we've been lucky with snow, and also avoid the weekends...good luck 🏂😊✌️
Hey Malcolm!
Currently in Alpe d'Huez, maybe I'll say hello if i catch you on the slopes!
Thanks foe all your tutorials. Im on my third week snowboarding now and i'm feeling very confident thanks to all of those, slaying reds, blacks, and off piste tracks. Maybe too much so though, I'll practice those tomorrow in Baralpettes 🫡 dont get cocky guys! 😂
I'm on the mountain every day, so if you see me say hello!
Back to Alpe'd Huez, my favorite place :)))
Hey Malcolm, can you do a video on which types of snowboards, high back angles and binding angles are best for carving at the beginner and intermediate levels?
On your recent Relatable Riding video, there were a lot of comments discussing how carving is not relatable to them and I think some may not even have the right type of board or setup for that type of riding.
Nope, you can learn to carve and carve a lot harder and better than most do on any proper (ie. no "catch free" "learn to ride" BS with zero edge hold) board and setup. You just have to bother to learn it, ideally with an instructor.
The slow - "lazy" as Malcolm calls it - carving by slightly leaning to one or the other side we learned in the first week beginner course, the technique of up unweighted turns in the follow-up advanced courses third and fifth week - practice of actual riding made them better and better with the foundation of proper technique set.
Most riders that you see on the mountain not properly carving just never got that foundation.
Anything more - dedicated carving board or positive stance will help to then lay even deeper or have more fun turning tighter or wider radii. But that's all down the road.
