In this video I've got five tips that will help you link your beginner snowboard turns. These five beginner snowboard tips will help you learn to turn faster and in a safer way. The first tip is to start your snowboard turn by sliding on an angle. By sliding your snowboard on an angle, you won't have to turn as far. Your turns will come around smoother and with less effort. The second tip for linking snowboard turns is to control your speed equally on your heels and toes. Counting in your head will help to even out your turns. The third tip to let your snowboard run straight for one second. This will stop you from trying to turn your snowboard too quickly and getting twisted. The fourth tip is to turn your snowboard with your entire body. Start the turn with your head, shoulders and hips and this will bring your snowboard around smoothly. Finally find an easy slope to practice linking your snowboard turns. Learn at your own pace and this will keep you safe as you learn.

Literally learnt to snowboard watching your videos...Saved me a ton of money on coaches!
Yes same I need to learn hot get on a rop with your back agents it
Agree! :)
Though a coach that sees your mistakes from a side will speed up your learning with less bad habits
Kev if i ever see you up the hill im gonna hug you!
All these vids have made learning i lot less intimidating.
Thanks man!
I just went snowboarding for the first time today and I started on a pretty steep run and it worked out much better for me than the flatter runs I did later in the day. It was a lot easier to toe and heel slide. The only problem was linking the turns and committing for a second but I started to get the hang of it after a couple hours. Just something to think about if you’re starting out like me
Hey Kevin, thanks for your videos. I just had my first day snowboarding today. Your instructions were really useful and gave me a good visual in my head of what my body should be doing. I was linking up turns and really having a great time.
Hey Kevin. thank you for the videos that you post. Getting some great snow in Cali and I've tried to snowboard 4 years ago but didn't pick it back up until this season. Taking all the lessons and tops you've provided and applying them. Last 2 sessions have been productive and I'm progressing. Going up again tomorrow and Sunday. Once again thanks.
Thank you so much for these beginner videos. I’d never stepped on a snowboard before two weeks ago, and didn’t take any lessons, only watched your videos. Just went for my second day and was able to make it down the green runs pretty well. I found being on my toes very comfortable and love sliding around turns on the toe edge. I need to work on your intermediate turn video so I don’t lose too much speed. It was a challenge to keep speed on the flatter areas. It felt great picking it up so quickly.
Another tip I learned last year for linking turns is using ur toes and front of ur feet to turn. What I mean is when u r going to the right and r trying to turn left, u pull ur front toes up and counteract that force with ur back toes by holding that foot down so it tortionally flexes the board which helped me the most when learning. When going from left to right, u put ur front toes down and pull ur back toes up to turn. It also works the same for switch. Also, nice vid!
OH! Thank you! I'm at resort now and yesterday, I watched this video, and it helped a lot. I watched every single video in the begginner playlist. Now I can ride much more naturally and effortlessly. Thank you Kevin! Hope you gain more subscribers ^^
The 2nd and 3rd tips is what I was struggling with! Thank you so much.
If only I could find these tips earlier :D good advices, learned by practice
Your tip about going straight for one second before going to a new turn helped me a lot! I was constantly falling when trying to go from my heels to my toes, but that tip got me to doing it right.
Dude all of your videos have helped me just with the little tips and tweaks, as a snowboarder who feels good on a mountain this definitely helps
I just had my first lesson. Then I spent an hour practicing what I’d learned. Then I kinda got stuck. These tips have answered all my novice questions for my next day’s boarding in one go. Thank you!!!
just started snowboarding this winter and your videos have been a great help keep up the good work!
just went snowboarding for the first time ever last night from 4 pm to 9 pm. your videos helped me alot also ive become hooked even though im in pain it was worth it :D
Thanks for all the tips Kevin been watching your videos for the last few months . They have really helped me out alot. I really have been enjoying the slopes back here in Ohio. Soo thanks again for making me a better and safer snowboarder!
Went snowboarding for 8 hours yesterday and now my whole body hurts.
Traaaft you'll get used to it. Just keep doing it and it'll be fine
I bet you can snowboarding for 5 days in a row this year
The more you improve on your technique, the less muscle strain youll use
@@PhaseSkater I can't stop once I start. It is just soooo fun. Even though I've only gone snowboarding about 4 times, I am basically addicted. Getting a season pass this winter!! !
lmaooo falling on my tailbone, i could not move the next day
Great tips!!! LOL...just sent your video to my daughter who’s on the mountain now and frustrated with her first day.
Hope it helps her!
thank you I just moved to layton utah and park City is an awesome place to snowboard. I just started. your videos were very helpful. thanks again..
today i had my first snowboard day...it was great
Awesome vid man as usual. Could you make the same kind of tutorial for intermediate/advanced snowboarders' turns please? Cause I'm sure your experience could help me carving better in steep runs.
went on my 2nd trip snowboarding because I fell in love. The point about letting the board run straight was my eureka moment and when I was able to start linking turns (obviously improvement needed). Don't fight the board, ride it out for that one second or however long and then initiate that turn. I went form taking a fall every toe edge turn to pulling it off (a bit too fast still) but this is when it gets fun, not stopping and getting down the trail.
Love these videos. I need to get better at carving regular.
Thanks so much for these awesome
Videos!i went up for my
First snowboard lesson and rides
And I used so many of your tips!i had so much fun.cant wait to go out more often !!!
Solid advice. Thanks for the help man!
Nice tips!!
Thanks bro👊🏽
This is video I really appreciate. It's something I had trouble with starting out last year.
Wow I was literally trying to search this on your channel. Thanks for posting
Super helpful! Thank you! I've had a hard time going from my toe to my heel when turning.
Hi kevin. Thanks for this amazing video and answering my questions. 🏂🏂👍😀
this actually really helped because I just came back from snow valley and I was trying to learn to turn
Hey man thanks for your information very helpful I just started snowboarding been on it only 4 times now but your videos are great thanks a lot
Hey kev, congrats on the #1 boarding channel and daily uploads, I was wondering if you could do some more advanced tutorials, such as maybe a tamedog or a 270 onto rail. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
77777777777777
You are making it looks so easy!
I am a beginner snowboarder. I have taken snow school for two years and I still can’t turn to heel side. (I’m goofy apparently since being lefty with cartwheels and baseball.) This video really helped me understand what it’s supposed to feel like- which helps me get there. Thank you so much for posting.
This is what I was waiting for 😂
loving all the videos!
I will try to ride switch with these tips💪 today when I was trying it I fell in the snow all the time😂
Lakey inspired is dope. I show all my friends who start snowboarding these videos!
Yo keven I watch all your vids even if I don't need the tips. I just love snowboarding hahah
hey Sir.
i love the channel, it's help me out alot being a 45 year old advance beginner.
I've got a question though.
I've gotten a really good base down for linking turns on mild runs. I really like traversing back and forth on mellow long runs.
however, on steeper drop runs i can't seem to make the switch from heel side to toe side and i stay mostly heel side , causing me to side slip alot.
I'm Regular footed by the way.
any suggestions.
thanks alot in advance.
Thank you, this will help me a lot.
What's next once I've got this down!! Also thanks im solely learning how to snowboard with your videos 🙌🙌
went on holiday with my girlfriend and while she learns to ski i forced myself to learn to ride switch and rode switch all week. These tips address a lot of the problems i encountered. Not turning using my whole body, being more frightened turning on my toe edge because its blind and carrying too much speed as a result. its like learning to ride all over again haha
Hope u had a great Christmas, ur vids cheer me up a lot man ;)
i remember when i have fighting all this things, very reasonable tips gj
Great tips Kevin, I'll be taking your advice today at nakiska so thanks, awesome.
hey kevin love your vids man keep it up (clicked this vid asap lol)
Can't wait to go boarding at our local hill!
today's the first day of year for me!!!!!
That helped so much thank you
Hey Kevin I'm always scared to turn onto my toe side not because I can't see where I'm going because I go to fast and I can never switch from heel side to toe side. Any tips?
+Philip Bengelink work on your toe sliding, then work on the turn on a super easy area.
SnowboardProCamp thanks I'll definitely work on that
Hey if your are regular footed try this. Go very slow on your heel edge. Pull up on your toes on your right foot. Push down on your toes with your left foot. This "twist" of the snowboard will cause you to turn in a clockwise direction which can lead you towards your toe turn. When you are facing down hill push extra weight on the toes on your front foot and bring your hips forward. (dont stick your butt out). Good luck
I'm exactly the same! Fine turning onto my toe side when I first set off, but when it comes to turning againg onto the toe side, absoloutely terrified!
Im just learning i have the same issue it was pointed out to me i was looking down at my board instead of up hill and i was leaning back when my board was straight so when i go into my toe edge turn the front of the board was lifting so try keeping your eyes up where you want to go and lean down the hill rather than back wards
Thanks so much for all these great tips Kevin! I recently subscribed to your channel and I am a complete beginner from Chicago. I learned to go down the bunny hill last winter in 3 days. I just bought an EPIC Pass for this winter and will be buying my own equipment soon. Do you have a suggestion on the best beginner board to buy along with bindings? I ride Regular.
Thank you! I just finished my very first lesson and evening boarding. It was very hard, but a blast as well. Loved most of what I was able to do at 39 y/o first time boarder. I was able to come down the slope multiple times without falling at all. I was able to stop heelside at the base. I really want to be able to be more in control of speed while on the slope. Not just downhill flying, although it is fun. Any tips for specific practicing or movement to help with that? or just try while coming down the hill each time.
Hey man, great videos! I have an iPhone 7 plus and go pro 4, but it seems when I upload them from my camera roll, the video seem I bit more blurry, any recommendations? Thanks so much!
I'm still struggling with turning my back to the hill. I can snowboard straight or zig-zag down the hill but I couldn't turn around... this video is so helpful!
That's where I'm at as well lol
Hi Kevin, I've just started linking my turns (been snowboarding now 5 or 6 times), definitely more confident going toe to heel. Do you have any tips for what I should be doing next for picking up more speed and more fluent riding, instead of starting and stopping with my turns? I'm guessing once it's more fluent I'd be able to control myself better on narrow runs. Thanks! Really enjoying the videos, learning a lot!
thx just begin today and going back in a little bit. I hope these tips work
I watch you evert day an I think you sure awesome
Thank you SnowboardProCamp for so many amazing videos!
I have one question. I sometimes caught the edge mostly on my heel side. I tried to lower my stance but it still happened two or three times. Do you have any suggestion for avoiding this kind of situation? (Or I just haven't digged enough videos from your channel hahaha)
Thanks, Bro I'm going out on friday and I will be binge watching your vids till then
Nozzie1020 where you skiing
Huff hills it's the only local place!
Good video thanks
Thank you for videos. They are helpful and I really liked your Blue & Brown jacket. Can you please let me know what brand and model is that?
Hey Kevin. I am going to Whistler in the the middle of April and never been there before. I need to work on linking my turns. What runs would you recommend to do this on?
Bytt til norsk
Hi! Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from you. but you can make some maintenance video and setup for your board. little technical stuff too. And more new beginner video:) Thanks!
What's up, Kevin? I have a trip in January to Copper Mountain. I'm soaking up all the tips I can.
I'm perfectly comfortable with the back edge and when I want to switch to the front edge, the back edge locks into the snow and doesn't come forward.. I'm gonna try to lean on toes more this weekend. hope to make it! I'm obsessed.
play with foot angle up to +/-15 degrees on either foot, that helped me. Originally I started off with 15 leading and 0 trailing, changed to -10 on the trailing and made turning twice as easy. Couple that with upper body movement and practice, jobs a guddun.
I did it.. actually the main problem was the arms, they weren't sharp enough. I sharpened the edges and killed it in the most difficult hill.. this weekend I'm gonna work on short curves and the speed..
this is what im doing right now, tried to link my turns, unfortunately there is a lot of crazy people here in Germany and for some reason im always worry for the people coming down hill behind me.
Hi Kevin, nice video! I managed to link the turns but everytime when i go to my heels i switch to the other leg and then it is really frustrating to go back on my front leg. Do you have any tips how to avoid that?
Idk if its just me but the hardest turn in back to front edge, you say go straight for a second but when i do it i get locked straight and have to aggressively turn myself this usually ends up with me sliding on my face
Russell Owens push your shoulder and your arm, slowly lean on your toes and if you feel like you are not gonna make it go for a stop... I had this problem for 2 years... Just be confident and practice at low spead... Also the more trys in a row the better
exactly!!! that's still my biggest struggle in the second season of my snowboarding! I'm perfectly comfortable with the back edge and when I want to switch to the front edge, the back edge locks into the snow and doesn't come forward.. I'm gonna try to lean on toes more this weekend. hope to make it! I'm obsessed.
@@Eastern_Mermaid how did it go?
It was brilliant.. I was carving.. just this switch from heels to toes made me to do carvings in the same session. I just found out what snowboarding is as soon as I was carving. it increased my speed a lotttt.. now I'm fearless, I'm not stopping myself of doing silly tricks like jumping! I fell a lot but it definitely worth it..
Its the j
I think the bids are A+
Hey Kevin have you ever tried downhill longboarding?
Nice vid
Hi Kevin, I have been watching your videos and now can overcome the fear of toe turn. And I can still go at angle after toe turn. However, after turning back to heel, I go to a complete halt with board horizontal ly placed. How can I make my toe and heel turns more smooth? Thank you so much!
Can you a video on etiquette of the mountain like passing people and if you need to look at for people behind you
That guy at 1:43 had no etiquette at all. Kevin was going super slow towards the side of the slope with his arms wide open (signaling that he's a [fake] beginner) and the guy just blazed past him. He then cuts off the skier in the yellow jacket.
A real beginner would have freaked out and lost his balance.
The same thing happened to me last year (my first season), but the guy hit me from behind and sent me flying. I stood there on the ground not being able to breathe for about 5min.
That experience really blocked me from progressing my riding, as I would be constantly looking over my shoulders and stopping whenever I saw someone behind me (yep, that means all the time).
Like driving, just stay close to the right if you are slow.
I guess that makes sense, but it's really hard if you're a true beginner and:
A - Your board has a life of its own and you can't control which way you go
B - The fall line pulls you towards the left
C - The outside of the run is on your right and you want to stay the hell away from those scary orange/yellow ropes (especially if you can't control your board)
In Canada, the faster skiers from behind would yell: I'm on your right/left which tells you he will pass you from yout right or left. you can go straight/slow or opposite his command. It's a first rule in beginners' skiing lessons
the general rule is to protect the people in front of you
Im going out tomorrow so ill try to include these tips into my 2nd day
Hi Kevin ! How are you going ? I've got two questions for you: where do you live ? ( even though I've seen you were living next to Canada) and Do you have a flat for when you're going snowboarding ? Thanks !
very helpful
you should do more videos of you just riding.. keep making vids
probably not the video for it, but what brand of pants do you wear, and model? I dig the cut. thanks man, enjoy your videos.
Do a video on park riding for the first time!
when transferring fluidly from a toe-side turn to heel-side turn, should your front foot lead, with hip and shoulder behind? or should both feet drive at the same time?
many snowboarders swing their back foot out like a rudder and it is hideous and causes loss of speed and counter-rotation.
Hi.. Im an beginner/intermediate boarder heading to Whistler in a few weeks. Any runs that you can recommend/instructors up there that can help me progress..Thanks in advance.
Hey Kevin what do you use for editing? I'm not sure what program to use to edit my gopro footage
Also if anybody in the comments had any advice as well :0
Hi I’m between beginner to intermediate turn level. While I’m trying to steer more aggressively, every time I turn on my heel edge, my board just seems to go straight to being perpendicular to the slope such that I am facing the slope. Am I placing too much pressure on my heel? But if I don’t do this I feel I am going down too fast. Please help!
Can you do a video on advanced butter tricks?
How do you go straight though? Do you just stay on an edge and make your board go as close to the ground, while staying on that edge?
Perfect timing video Kevin. Ima send this to my son. He will only ride on his heel, I think he is kinda scared to move to the toe edge. I try showing him but he seems to over-commit when he moves to toe or try to get up on toe. He will over-lean to the toes and will just fall over.
+AOmonsta Try and get him to do a few runs of just toe sliding. This will help him find his balance over his toes. Thanks for watching!
it is very helpful.
hey nice video i have just started jumping with my snowboard do u got tips for me
go watch his videos, so many tutorials you'll learn a lot
What about your degrees when you do tricks on custom board?
This helped me so much on money
Omg
Solos
I know right
Yea
Ive heard that Twisting your snowboard (with torsion not pivot) helps turn. Do you agree?
Yes it does help... I started out flailing my arms to get my board to turn at first lol - but i didnt know any board mechanics.
I flex my front foot up and press down on my back foot to get the board sliding easier.
This really helps for me when going slow and on flat runs...when im acheiving high speeds, the momentum from riding does most the work.
It would be awesome to get a video about choosing boots, and how to go about breaking them in. I finally bought a pair of Burton Imperial blue snowboard boots. I didn't think about breaking them in, and the first day on the mountain run #2 my feet were numb. Can you give me some advice on how I should go about breaking them in?
+Morgan Linton some ski/snowboard shops can heat mold your boots to your feet. Also just wearing them around the house for an hour or two a day.
Hey Kevin, do you edit your own vids?? Because it is very good
DieEneSven Ya he does
Where are your skihelmet from?:)
Hi Kevin! I'm an intermediate rider. i don't know how to ride in a steep run (blue, black) when linking the turn do u crouch down more or u stand up and change slide.
Steven Wang What I do is crouch, which adds stability on the peak of the turns , then when I start to come around and need to switch to either toe or heel turn, I stand up a little bit to release the pressure from the board and snow and lean into the direction I want to go and allow to momentum from the previous turn to carry me over to the other side. Hope this helps!
Reilly Hughes thank u！ thats how i ride too, btw when riding, do u feel u don't have much control in font foot compare to ur back foot ? I tend to put more pressure on the back foot.
Steven Wang I've been snowboarding for 8 years now, so I've gotten the hang of foot control and such, but I have found that when I'm going really fast down a hill, I tend to lean more forward to allow my turns and cuts to be more aggressive. Going slow I'm usually more in the middle to back to allow for quick initiation of butters or flat tricks.
Steven Wang always put more of your weight into your front foot. Will make your turns feel more confident and fluent.
For learning to turn on a steep run it is best to start the turn standing up (extended), as said. Start the turn by using torsion to twist the board. Make sure as you start to turn you are leaning forward. your hips and shoulders should match the slope of the hill (parallel). Lastly use a pivot motion to rotate the board quickly under your body so your turn is quick. You will gain to much speed if your board faces downhill to long. GLuck
I cannot do anything with the toe part. I just automatically fall. Or my board will clip the snow and I fall. Can't figure it out yet...
I found that when I'm going from heel to toe side, I make myself look up the hill, this controls my speed and I keep keep skating along toe-side before switching back to heel. Hope this helps :)
Practice on a skateboard going toe to heel, bend your knees, lower center of mass, dig the toes in and grip the snow/street - then coast along to a full stop. Or start going down the hill, begin the toe edge turn and literally try to make a U pointed towards the mountain.
Start slow and easy, mastering the toe is the hardest part.
I had this problem the whole last season. but I tried to go down the hill just on toes. slowly. I was going and stopping! I'm still not as comfortable as heels but can handle it hopefully.
i just learned my 4320s today im good asl at boarding
what backpack do you use?
