I debated hiring someone for lessons at the start of the year but figured I'd give the "tried and true" method of watching youtube videos first. Honestly didn't think it was going to work. Thanks to you, (and some others like Tommie Bennett) I've progressed far beyond my expectations in just a couple months of riding. You're fantastic at what you do and I appreciate it very much!
Awesome, glad the videos are helping, they're not for everyone as you need to be quite aware of what your own body is doing, but if you can self check your own posture then they can be effective!
Tommie VIBINNNNN YEWWWW LETS 🎉🎉🎉🎉GOOO
лапай ми хуя вее сплесканяк
Not a replacement for coach
I also learned from UA-cam. I was skiing as a kid but wanted a board as i was skating. O boy the first day so painful 😅
Second day was still awful but i felt like i made progress. Third day i was carving and didn't fall at all. Well i got over confident and tried some tricks. 180, small jumps. All good, and then a huge jump with to mich speed. I caught and edge and broke my clavicula. Tomorrow on the snow again fully healed. No jumps for me though haha
Had the pleasure of a 1:1 lesson with MM last week.
I watch his videos over and over which has transformed this my riding after being stuck in a plateau for the last 20years,so if you get the chance to get a lesson with him you won’t be disappointed.absoluely amazing experience he explains everything so well and he is an exceptional boarder without having to show off.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks again guys have a great rest of winter!!!
That direction arrow tip is super important for beginners too. More often than not new riders catch an edge because they are trying to turn before they get their board to go straight.
30+ years snowboarding and your videos have helped completely transform my riding. Riding better at 48 than ever before (although the crashes hurt more now...). Huge improvement in my skills due to your skill as a teacher. Thank you!!!
Awesome, that's great to hear Justin, keep going 💪
I always get so happy when I see “older” boarders. I was told that I’d want to switch to skiing as I get older but seeing people quite older than me still shredding gives me so much hope.
This! Pure 90 degree side-slipping is the worst position to make an edge change from (although torsional flex with knee steering and hip unweighting can still make turns from a side-slip happen). Carving, on the other hand, allows you to make the edge change anytime regardless of how your board is oriented relative to the slope (parallel with the fall-line, across the fall-line, it doesn't matter). All that matters is that your momentum coincides with the nose of your board. The video is basically saying "It doesn't matter how you arrived before the start of the turn, but once you start turning, your board should be carving even for only a little bit as this will provide the very cruicial platform for your early edge change."
I also love the final part where you mentioned restricting to carving only when making open turns. I stick to my mantra of "Carve as much as you can, only skid/grip when you have to". It's good training, and forces you to polish all the tools in your turning toolbelt.
THE RULE: Once you have a clean straight line behind you, you can switch edges!!
THANK YOU!
This SINGLE HANDILY made me connect my turns without the fear of catching an edge. I spent so much time wondering how all these snowboarders change edge so quickly before even heading down the fall line
Awesome!!
I haven't applied this yet. Driving up to the slopes tomorrow. This makes sense. I've been searching for when exactly the edge change should occur. Thank you.
You're welcome hope it helps!!
The direction arrow is the best snow board tip i've ever got. They learned me to edge change on the fall line. That so not true when having momentum across the slope. I can change edge waaaay earlier with confidence now! Thank you so much
Amazing so pleased it works for you!!
I don't comment on hardly any videos, but I needed to on this one. I've been riding for 2 seasons now and I feel have become *skillfully just as good at riding as my friends who have been riding for 10+ years, and the only person I have to credit to that is you and your videos. These simple yet techincal videos have transformed my riding and confidence on the mountain and I think about the techniques and drawings you present while ride. Thank you so much Malcom. You are seriously changing the game when it comes to learning to snowboard and improving your skills as a snowboarder. I will be keeping this key gripping idea in mind when I hit the mountain in the next couple weeks and compare the difference in my riding. Keep putting out this incredible content!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it, and glad you're loving snowboarding!
@@malcolmmoore yeah, that guy said it all. Thank you for your contribution to the community!
I've been watching your videos the past few months, how to ride flats, posture, don't counter rotate etc. I'm travelling to Briançon on Saturday for my 3rd time ever snowboarding. Can't wait to put all your lessons to practice! Thank you Malcolm for all your time and effort you put into your videos, I wish nothing but the best for you and your channel.
Kind regards
Simon
Nice, enjoy Serre Chevalier, it's a fun resort, just down the road from me, cheers Simon!
I really like that tip to match the direction of the board to your direction of travel before switching edges. Early this season I started working on starting my edge change as early as possible in my turns and I had a few edge catches right at the top of the turn when I'd engage my new edge. I had it diagnosed as shifting my hips over the center of the board too abruptly but I think I was also not finishing my turns quite enough.
I pauzed halfway, but want to share this non the less before the end:
I went snowboarding 2 weeks ago, I'm 35Y and this was my second "season", I actually picked it up in January 2022. I did a lot of kiting with a mountain board (no not the same I know, but the movement ideology can be linked), anyhow, 2 weekends ago, I litterally noticed what you're just explaining, and it just made sense. It's hard to explain, but it just felt right. I was already comfortable with changing edges, even on more steeper sloops (although I'm not pushing it, a challenge and boundry pushing is needed to progress), I noticed always that, when I got "scared" or "uncomfortable", I was overthinking my turn and also just pushed to a stop, and then make the turn, on steeper sloops, what was a point of frustration. And then I was basically going to a more mellow sloop, and there it just happend, making that platform, and easy making a turn. Practiced that for a couple of runs, went to a higher altitude and applied it.
The world was instantly different!!! It just all made sense in like one go, speed control, making turns, feeling comfortable, not burning through energy, keeping my strong stance, it all worked.
I've been watching you for quite some time and always tried to think about your tips, and they really all helped :D Just wished I've seen this sooner, but happy I figured it out on my own.
Also, what I did was taking some private lessons, to get the basics really in, and I can only recommend that to everyone who is struggling.
Keep it up Malcom, and have a lot of fun on the mountain!
Un grand merci pour toutes vos videos de qualités, avec des explications simple et claire. C’est vraiment grâce à vous que je progresse au snowboard 🙏🏼
Bonne continuation, je continue de vous suivre ! ❤
Merci à vous! 🙏
Takes notes...Direction of travel must be parallel to board to achieve proper edge change. ps. Thanks for all these GREAT videos Malcom!
Exactly 👌
oh my god. this is one of the best vids I've seen so far. I've binged a ton of your content this season as I've been sort of teaching myself to ride (with the help of your vids being like my textbook assigned reading haha). this is such a simple thing, and I've progressed into feeling decent at linking turns, but just seeing this explicitly demonstrated is huge. this will be very helpful to have in my mind next time i ride.
Been subscribed for while now and for me personally, this is the best one yet. The recent short turns (dolphin) was fantastic as well. You've really started to hit your stride and zeroing in on what really matters, at least to me. In addition, your clear explanations are second to none, no overexcitability, just clear explanations and focused information. Thanks for all that you do for our sport.
Malcolm, just wanted share an overall comment on how much your videos over the past 10 months have drastically improved my boarding. Last year I was in North Carolina doing skid turns, mostly using counter rotation & falling a lot. This year, just got back from 3 days at Keystone & was doing S-turns and really getting nice early edge changes with good posture. Furthermore, I was able to do short, quick turns on steeps and in tight areas, and easy hip movements to change edges on the flats, which are long at Keystone. Just wanted to say thank you, Cheers!
Awesome, great to hear! 🙌
Good lord, this is the best graphic of a snowboard S turn I've ever seen!
Haha thanks 🙌🙌
I'm going to hit the like button for every video. I managed to do turns without a lot of stress using your indications. Also, I advised someone on the slope to use the pole technique, at least to imagine it and she managed to turn without falling over and over again. Using the center of gravity to my advantage, keeping my body allinged, using the right snowboarding positions are the good basics. Many likes, really! Thanks a lot!
Awesome, thank you! Really appreciate that, but more it's just good to hear that its helping you out!
Your videos are insane man. As a beginner I watched a tonne of your vids and picked it up really quickly. For progression your videos were more helpful than the 2 instructors I had. Thanks
Same here.
Awesome, keep going with it, you're only going to get better 💪
Without your videos I would still have problems with my carving and edge changes. Getting my posture right and knowing what I'm doing and why, totally fixed my snowboarding. Thank you so much for helping me understand snowboarding and fix my problems!
I love your content man! You demonstrate the ways to snowboard easily both visually and mentally compared to other channels. I've improved thanks dramatically to you, I always let anyone who wants to get better watch your channel. Cheers!
Awesome, I appreciate the support 👍
Great video! Watched this before riding yesterday, and yes it was a bit hard to understand at first, but you explained it well and once on the board on the mountain it was crystal clear, what do I need to make an early edge change. Great for practicing switch to, and understanding why I didn't make that edge change. But when I got it right, what a great feeling to have that clean turn and to maintain that speed and be whipped into the next turn. Thanks again Malcom!
Hi Malcolm,
A quick than you for the videos. They really do have a big impact on my riding. The hard part is remembering everything when I get on the slope!
Keep them coming, all the best
This is extremely helpful stuff! I'm into my 3rd season snowboarding now and am fairly comfortable but still very sloppy, you're videos have been super helpful in creating ways to visualize how I'm supposed to be turning
That's amazing, glad to help, keep going, it only gets better too!
A real eye-opener! I have a good posture, most of the elements of my technique are ok, however I tend to slightly skid (I think the main reason is sloppiness) and will be working on it this season - the insight about always remembering to "complete the turn" i.e. reach the thin line sounds like gold as a countermeasure for sloppiness. And thanks for mentioning that on icy surfaces it might take longer - I usually go snowboarding later in the season, so the slopes in the morning are very icy (they melt during the day and freeze again during the night) - if you didn't put that warning here, I would most likely force myself to reach the thin line ASAP, which would most likely end in me catching the edge. Now I know that I shouldn't rush it. Thanks again!
started watching ur videos last season after i was snowboarding for the first time and fell in love with it ( even tho learning it was very hard for me ). Yesterday was my 8th time snowboarding and i have to say im literally ripping the slopes, very confidently driving black slopes. thank you MM, your videos helped me tremendously. much love my brother
Awesome, that's great to hear, keep going 👍
Thank you Malcolm! I was making some quick tight turns today and caught an edge not knowing why then I remembered this video and didn’t fall again the rest of the day 😊
Brilliant 😍
I just started snowboarding this year and it's been pretty slow to start. Between the tip about changing edges when pointed in the direction of travel and the video with the lever analogy I'm finally seeing some improvements. I can S turn down the majority of the green runs at my local hill, and managed to go a full day without catching and edge. Next stop, carving :) Thanks a ton!
Awesome keep it up!!
3:57 lmao subtle
😂😂😂😂😂In German that's a "Text-Bild-Schere" (text-picture-scissor)
Been waiting 4 yrs for this video
Haha hope it was worth it 🤣
i just learned so much from this video. I thought carving was just an option of snowboarding, not the actual way youre supposed to snowboard! wow mind blown, will be working on my carving and have a new perspective. Thank you!!!
ive been watching your videos after the first time riding and having a bad time. Now I'm actually starting to get stopping, c turns and jturns and all of that using the tips from your channel! I've even had my boyfriend watch your videos so he can help me and tell me what i need to do/work on a bit more which has greatly helped as well. Awesome videos!
Thanks Ashlin 🙏🙏
Again props 🎉 your explanation fits so nice with my experience which really helps to bridge the sensation knowledge with physics, giving me a platform 😊
Thanks Malcolm. Long time watcher - your videos helped me finally get snowboarding to "click" last season and be enjoyable/no falling. (Well, only twice over 2 days) It was a little nervous after the prior year I went - fractured a rib. Was good to gain that confidence and actually be able to feel confident. We're headed back out this week to Park City and have been looking at your videos again - this one was pretty simple and to the point and really good. Looking forward to using this tip (while it's been said at some point in your other videos, I think this is the first one you've clearly said it and harped on it)
Awesome, enjoy Park City!
Thanks for another great video!!
I live in Southern Japan, which means no powder but lots of ice. You talked about it a little in this video, but do you have more tips on dealing with icy conditions? Since global warming isn’t gonna be easy on us, I’d love to be prepared and a video about dealing with icy conditions would be really awesome! (Unless you already have a video about that and I’ve missed it somehow!)
Sliding inevitably leads to nackered knees or a battered sphincter or both! Thanks again for the vid…just wish I could get on the snow more often to try all the tips out 😢
I watched another video of yours which had a similar tip, and actually used your tips at the slopes today. My edge changes have never been this smooth or early, and I also reduced my choppy turns.
Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Phenomenal communication! Learning from you is such a pleasant experience. Cheers!
Thanks Lance, appreciate it 🙏
Hi malc....ooommmm
What can I say ... smashed it again bud... I'm going Bulgaria on Saturday and this and the ski pole will be on repeat,repeat,repeat,repeat....
Thank you and please take it from me.... they are massive videos for those who can't....
But soon will after watching these videos...
Be kind to yourself bud
I've been trying this out this season and was catching that edge but couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. That arrow analog is spot on! Thank you so much for this explainer video!
Thank you 🙏😊
Hi Malcolm, I have just returned from a week in Bansko after being out of snowboarding for over 10 years. Your videos have been critical for me this last week. I literally had your voice in my head telling me what to do, at what point and how also visualising your stance. It took me a few days to get the hang of it again but worked it out so I could carve, on an early edge change also while trying to minimise leg muscle effort and making my board do the hard work. Many thanks for your videos. You’re a true professional and an excellent teacher.
Awesome, glad the vids are helping, apologies about my annoying voice in your head, but glad you had a good week. I did my very first season in Bansko!
You have a really good way of verbalizing these somewhat abstract principles so that they're easy to understand. Thanks!
Thanks so much 😊😊
Thank you so much for your wisdom. First time out this season, with the mindset of strong position, and edge changes with out skidding!
Yeahh you got this!!
Great stuff, Malcom! Gonna be heading up to Big Sky this week and I'll def keep your arrow idea in my mind. Trying to eliminate as much unnecessary skidding from my riding as possible and I think this video gave me a new perspective 🤙🏻 YEWWW
Niiiice, enjoy Big Sky!
Love these videos, thanks so much for sharing your expertise Malcolm 👍
Thanks Kevin 🙏😊
Thank you so much for your tips! I'm so gonna give it a go!
Good luck!!
Your explanation certainly gave me the answer as to why I was sometimes catching an edge and tumbling over.
Definitely a lightbulb moment watching this.
Awesome, glad it helped!
Great analysis and explanation; thanks for promoting carving. However, the green arrow at 2:44 intended to show your body's actual direction of travel while you are skidding across the slope, should be pointing to the left of the board's centerline (as seen from the rider's point of view (i.e., more downhill)) rather than to the right, because the combination of skid plus board alignment means your body is traveling on a line that is descending more steeply than the direction the board is pointing. Building the platform means stopping the skid, which is ideal; for truly icy areas, if a rider can't stop the skid, they need to pivot the board to point more downhill until it points in the direction of travel of their body.
Your videos are incredible! So informative and amazing production. Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏😊
Great riding with you few weeks ago, great teacher 💪
Thanks, sorry not sure who you are from your handle, but all my guests this winter have been great so I can safely say it was a pleasure riding with you too!
Awesome video! It's something I've always felt/understod but have never really articualted like you did.
Thank you 🙏😊
Thanks for all the help! Very understandable video(s) to build a (what feels) solid foundation.
Thanks so much 😊🙌
hey malcolm! i love whatching your videos and I be wanting to know the step by step, on how to do 180 and 360s front and back side. I would love to see a video like that... much love and take care
This is amazing advice! It makes so much sense! Thanks!
My pleasure, back in December with more!
Incredibly helpful!
Thanks ☺️🙏
This advice helped me tremendously! My snowboarding increased exponentially!
Amazing 🤩
dang. this concept was huge for me. thank you. makes a lot of sense
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Best tip ever! Thank you Malcolm 😊
No problem hope it helped!!
Thanks for your videos, you're a great instructor.
Thanks John 🙏🙏
Thank you for your videos!! 🤩
Thanks Hannah 🙏😊
Thank you very much for sharing the technique!!
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
wow so clear. thank you!
Thanks 🙏🙏
Watched about 50 lessons on UA-cam lol but this one has been the most helpful with the diagram
Awesome!
Sei l’insegnante migliore ! Grazie da Italia.
Grazie !!!!
Writing from Canada and you definitely grow my skills!!! 🎉 thx man
Awesome! Thank you!
Best video so far! Fantastic tips! I'll be trying them out tomorrow night!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
@@malcolmmoore worked like a charm! Was able to get my weight down over the edge and really feel the board gripping into the snow giving me like you said a stable platform to turn on. Felt awesome and such a difference to how I normally just slide through the turn. Awesome stuff!
That's awesome, so happy to hear 🙌🙌🙌
Malcolm, I FINALLY had the opportunity to ride, and that was at Whistler this past week.. Your videos helped me tremendously friend! I kept telling myself "proper form" lol. I hit the green hills the second day, after a great first of training, and probably should have spent more time on the bunnys... ha! I was connecting turns, so I thought i was ready for the greens but nope, not at whistler! Im heading to SLC at the end of Feb, and cant wait to work on this and other fundamentals you teach. Thanks man. We really appreciate you!
Thanks Richard!! Appreciate this message 😌
Thank u very much. This answer my question in the S turn vid 😊
Great 🙌🙌
Switched to the Worca I see. Review time!
Nice set of tips as always. We fly to Bulgaria this Saturday for our 1st ski trip in 3 years! Got a new board for Christmas so will may take a bit of getting used to but I’ll be thinking of your drills while doing it. Happy riding
Have fun in Bulgaria!!
@@malcolmmoore Thanks
The guy struggling in the background while he talks about posture and stance is so ironically hilarious at 😆@3:52.
😂😂😂
Just another great video MM👍
Thank you 🙏😊
111th like! I’ve learned so so so much from you!!!! Before I head out I make sure to watch a video of yours. I officially know how to snowboard!!!! thank you for making these videos!
Cheers Mélissa 🙏😊
Background music is making a video like interstellar movie for me ahah. Thank you , mate. Helping me to understand the very basic of snowboarding although I have some experience in it.
Great film 🙌🙌
Hey Malcolm just a quick heads up. The links in your description to the other videos that help with fundamentals are all youtube studio links which are not acessible to the viewer. You need to add the actual link of the video :)
Awesome thanks for the heads up, i think I've fixed it now 🤞🤞
I like the diagrams. We need more of it
You don't know it but you've pretty much taught me how to ride. Second season in Colorado from me, it's starting to get really fun as I become a better snowboarder. Thanks man. Do you have a video with trees?
This looks like a solid advice will try it out today wish me luck
Hey bit late but good luck!!! Hope it helped?!
@@malcolmmoore hey bro np thanks all of your videos have been really helpful thanks. really sad that season is over looking forward to the next one, this year was my first year as a snowboarder and it was awesome
Your vids have helped me going from being able to do some blacks, but not comfortably, to being able to tear down them, even with bumps and moguls! Thanks a ton for everything mate! btw your related video links are slightly off ;)
Ah cheers, I'll sort them out, thanks for that!
You know you're good when you can try and catch and edge on purpose and still avoid doing so lol. Thanks for the laugh Malcolm in addition to all the super helpful advice.
Haha happy to help 😜
Great channel. Thank you! Hope you do a review of the Yes Warca. Just bought mine and would like to know your thoughts on it. 😊
Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate the tip!
Thank you for this tip! And for all your other videos. I was trying to look for a video that could help with riding steeper slopes, such as reds and blacks, but couldn’t find one. Would you be able to share some tips? I can carve on blues and some reds, but as it gets steeper, I find I tend to counter rotate because speed builds up so quickly. Thank you!
The guy at 4:00, I could see me there hahaha. Greatttt video!
Haha 😂😂
Some really smooth video transitions there!
Haha thanks for noticing 🙌🙌
Sounds familiar :) thanks again for the lessons Macolm!
Thanks Joey!!
I'm going for a ski trip next week, will try to make you proud and stop doing skidded open turns
Have fun!!
Momentum... You better have it, when switching from uphill edge to downhill edge, across the fall line. Obvi it will be hard if possible at all, to do this with skidded turns.
i strugle with this so much
3:59 pure comedy when he mentions "good posture" and you see the gal in the background leaning back for her life.
Congratulations for your excellent and very useful videos.
I would like to ask if would be possible to make a video regarding of what is the correct/ideal distance between bindings. I know that everything depends on how tall is each one, but also apart from the height, everyone legs have different length. Is there any way to find the exact distance between bindings? Also, I would like to ask what is the correct/ideal angle to adjust the front and back bindings. Best Regards and thank you very much!!
Hi Malcolm - This video was very eye opening for me. I'm an advanced snowboarder with 10 years of getting about 20 days in a year. I can ride most anywhere on the mountain, but I continue to get more tripped up by slick / icy spots than I should. And if I'm working hard to control speed I often get some chatter. I've determined that when doing S-turns (less so if I'm doing quicker turns) I slarve, rather than carve. I think fixing this would help the chatter and help me in icy spots. Your video above is great. Do you have any more that I can watch to help here?
Thank you for your videos man, you are the best! I wonder if you could give some advices about how to ride a red/black slope (European scale). Can It be carved or it's necessary to skid a little for slowing speed? Thank you again!
improved a lot today watching this !!!! But still can't do it on reds ...
Keep going, it'll come 💪
Thanks
You're welcome 🤗
That on-purpose edge catch must have been difficult, made my heart drop
Haha yeah it was tough!
3:56
Malcolm: I’ve got loads of videos to get your posture correct
Guy in the back: Goes full on inflatable dancing guy
😂
Your instruction is fantastic and invaluable. My first day of snowboarding ever a couple of weeks ago went very well, and was able to link turns by the end of the day, and made it down a couple of blue runs. Do you have stickers for sale anywhere? I'd love to promote your channel when I get back out on the slopes. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks so much 🙏🙏 i don't have stickers but that's not a bad idea!!
Thanks your video for learning snowboarding! I took 7 days and practice from basic from your videos (important posture!!), I can do some basic S turns with edge change!
I have a question when watching your videos, what is the different between craving vs open turn vs S-turn vs closed turn? I am a bit confused about these.
