for all the beginners. Listen closely. He is very pedagogical. and I watched this dude for 10 days straight beofre my first snowboard trip this march. i tryed to implement everything he gone thru with us in his vidoes. first trip i was going most slopes, and reach a speed of 43 khm/h .. now im hooked, sold my skiies. bought a board and booked a trip. going 5th december :D
gracias a este chico después de tres años que lo sigo, puedo decir que soy un gran snowboard :) los comienzos soy muy duros, pero es un deporte muy divertido y como dice en muchos vídeos, déjate llevar como una hoja que cae del árbol, y sobretodo no tengas miedo a caerte.. saludos y disfruta
Many thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it, there's definitely some other good guys doing good work on RUclips too, but I always like to try and show my riding too, and if you like what I do, we'll then thats the style in which I try and teach people to ride!
Malcom you are by far the best teacher, really breaking down the technicalities and nuances in a clear and simple to understand way. Itll be my 4th season snowboarding once we get snow in colorado, and im working on getting comfortable with switch and hitting my first 180s and beginner boxes and rails
Welcome back. This is the holy grail of learning how to snowboard. I started last season and by the end of it, I was carving safer, better, faster, smoother. The videos are 100% repeatable on the mountain. The breakdown of carving and edge changing along with drills really got me confident and gave me an even greater appreciation for teachers, instructors, educators of all kinds. Thank you. Getting another AMPLID board at the end of the season.
This is THE video that anyone wanting to learn how to snowboard should watch before doing anything else -- before getting to the mountain, before renting a snowboard and boots, before booking a lesson. If you understand how a snowboard works and your part in it, before trying it, your first experience and everything after it will be SO much easier and SO much more fun. A++++++.
I jumped in and bought the course this morning and am currently half way on my first watch through. I started riding last season and Malcolm’s videos were one of my favourite resources to learn from. So far I would say the course is excellent, you can see the care and thought that has been put into it all from the way it’s structured, the progression and all the minute details, each videos is of the quality you would expect and superbly filmed. The video clips and diagrams that go along with each section are definitely what I’m loving as a visual learner and I can’t wait to get back up to the slopes in a couple months time and put all this stuff to practice! Thanks for taking the time and energy to put this all together and I hope it gets the popularity it deserves!
Malcom is one of the best teachers on the internet. I started snowboarding 2 seasons ago and aside from some tricks, I can already hang with any of my friends on any run because of following his approach to turn progressions, edge control and body position. Stoked to see new content!
best snowboard coach ever. I've learnt how to board thanks to Malcolm. this year will be my 2nd year boarding and I want to focus on getting my early edge changes, its something i struggle with right now.
I am a long time moocher that has never really bought "courses" or services through influencers before, but your videos were fundamental in my being able to fall back in love with snowboarding in my mid 30s. Your communication style and content has become mantras I repeat in my head every time I go riding. This course is a no-brainer for me just to be able to review before this season. Thank you Malcom
When I see someone on the mountain that could use a few tips i always recommend them to your channel, you are the best instructor, how you break everything down is superb. I met a few people on the lift last season that watch you.
I feel I owe Malcolm a debt of gratitude for helping me learn to Snowboard over the years and cannot thank him enough for his fantastic content, enthusiasm and the way he can break snowboarding down into something that is easy to understand. I have signed up to the course as I have a number of bad habits and it looks ideal for ironing these out with step by step tasks, video and written explanation. I like the option of being able to download some reminder cards to my phone for when I am off grid on the mountain. I am sure this will be a great success and is great value at $90 about £68. Can’t wait to get out there again, will have to get down to the Snowdome at Castleford or even risk the dry Ski slope at Silksworth if I’m feeling lucky!....
Another simple, yet easy to understand approach to snowboarding. Your lever description was a game changer for me. Completely changed my riding. Look forward to more tips from your this season!
That's great to hear, yeah I'll be back on snow in November for a little bit so will be making some more videos then, and then from December my local resort is open and it's game on!
I happened to be in Hintertux at the same time as Malcolm and I can attest to the conditions being absolutely awesome... Currently crying here in sunny Montenegro waiting for December! Rest assured that Malcolm is the kind of teacher who can say one small thing about your riding that leads to a massive breakthrough over the course of a few short days, at least that was my experience! The course was an instant buy for me and I suggest anyone else thinking about it to go for it, you won't regret it!
Congrats on launching your new course Malcolm. Your content has been amazing for the past few years and has really helped us in improving our snowboarding.
Thank you for all your content! I’ve been following you for years. Your course is a great way to pay you back AND do something for improving my riding. Thanks for creating it and keeping the cost reasonable.
Congratulations on this new initiative Malcolm, I haven't yet managed to book lessons with you because I have always been too late 😢 But now I've just ordered your online lessons 😀Even though I've had to watch most of your videos on RUclips and Instagram I'm convinced that I'm going to learn lots of new things and progress thanks to you 🙌🏻
Yo te sigo hace tres años y nunca me había puesto una tabla de snow y ahora tengo unas ganas que llegue ya el invierno para ponerme la tabla :) este año toca pistas negras y a saltar con más confianza y eso para mi hace dos años era impensable, muchas gracias por tus consejos y ánimos y sigue así y espero algún día ir a Austria, tiene que ser espectacular hacer snow ahí :) saludos desde Barcelona
Wishing much success with the course! Have a fantastic season 😁 Will be in Europe in February, most likely, but aiming for a full week at St. Anton this time. Need to go back to France at some point, though!
Excellent video Malcom. Those views are spectacular. I was wondering when you would put out an online course. Just purchased. Can’t wait to dive in. Thank you for everything you do. You’ve helped greatly improve my riding over the past two seasons. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone deliver this much value.
The 10 hour drive didn't quite seem worth it whilst I was doing it, but as soon as I was there it totally was! Just waiting on some snow in France now...
Malcolm Moore's videos are back, winter season is really coming close! The online course sounds awesome! Quite a bit more expensive than what I was expecting it to be, I'm still going to buy it, but it better be really good! 😄
Ah sorry it's coming in a bit higher than you expected, I can't quite get my head around the tax part, but it's all integrated into the programme and depending on where in the world you are it can be anything from 0 - 20 dollars on top of the course price, perhaps you also got hit with more Tax on your country? My hope is to try and keep it around the price of a one hour lesson even if you have the tax added in. (Again this depends where in the world you are I know!) Just seen Tommie Bennett is charging alot more for his 😂, anyway I hope you get some good stuff from it ✌️
@@malcolmmoore Yeah, the tax is $15. I was comparing the price to Chris Birch's dirt bike riding course that has 4 hours of quality video content for €40 so I guess that's where my expectations came from 😅Anyway, that doesn't matter, I really like your teaching style so I'm pretty confident it will be worth it's cost!
Hey Malcolm, thanks for making this video and welcome back! Can you please help to make a video about how to think about snowboarding sizing and overall gear set up. I am looking to upgrade my set up and there's a lot of different advice on what is an acceptable amount of toe overhang, heal overhang (does less overhang mean better carving but worse control or slower turns???), board sizes, set ups for different conditions, what's a beginner board or more advanced board and it is a little overwhelming. (Does it really make that big a difference?) Can you please help to make a video on how to navigate that as people progress by watching your videos? Thanks again for all the knowledge you share?
Purchased straight off. Having found the individual vids to be gold in explaining what/how to do, programmed course of progression took 0.00002 second to decide its for me. have reviewed the flat base bits and Im gagging to get back to the Tamworth Snowdome to Practice (just finished the Sept £2 an hour lift pass offer). Is it ok to watch the vids but not complete the goal vid to show progress? Brilliant Malcom just plain Brilliant. Many Thanks
Awesome, thanks for purchasing, and yeah it's absolutely fine to go through the whole course first (which will advance your progress bar) but the main thing is to get each goal correct before moving onto the next. To be honest there's no harm in having a practice of something further down the line, just don't expect it to necessarily work immediately until you have completed the previous goals too! (I think that's what you were asking?!)
It's been 20 years since i was in Hintertux.. Back then there was a picture at the middel station from 1989. where you could see the glacier was much bigger. Then it was in 2004 when i was there.
Hi Malcom. I’m about the level you’re describing in this video, so the course sounds great. I’m also wanting to buy my first board this season. Any recommendations?
Will you have just put it out on the same line of thinking that we are going for this season; learning board performance from the get go to improve riding by being better educated. We are also wanting to introduce that in small increments with little bites at a time for better rider ownership! All the best as we wait for the snow to actually be on the ground here in Idaho?
Malclom: I hope you didn't think i was slamming on you? I was just saying that I think it's great when the community can show working understanding of principals in just a clear and understandable dialog! We really enjoy your videos one of the best in instructions for all level riders!!
K, I love your content, but when you do stuff like this, you realize it's only the instructors and other coaches that follow eh? Nerdboarding doesn't always equate to good instructing, but from the ped side, this is all spot on!
Can't work out if you're being nice or the opposite here haha, all I'm trying to do is simplify snowboarding as much as possible. In my opinion people get so concerned about posture etc, that they forget about simply trying to balance their weight in the right place. Much like when you learn to ride a bike, you need to learn to lean into the turn, rather than learn how to hold the handlebars in a certain way.
@@malcolmmoore Trying to provide a bit of positive and objective criticism, though I realize now that I came off backhanded and condescending. Sorry :/. The content as a whole is solid. However, using metaphors, analogies, and certain drills/tactics (nerdboarding - pedagogical and technical talk) like the Pendulum can be misleading and confusing to new and intermediate riders. Advanced riders may have the proprioception and kinesthetic awareness to understand the pendulum analogy, while beginners and intermediate riders will not. Another such analogy is the Clockface. These kinds of tactics are arbitrary and interpreted subjectively. They do not give individuals something measurable and objective to work on. Instead, they require the student to understand the concepts of these tangible objects in an intangible and non-concrete manner. In your example, a student must understand a pendulum, how it arcs in motion, and how much it arcs in motion. Similarly, a clockface in snowboarding is split in half and lined up to resemble 2 turns, which is equally confusing. These are complex concepts to explain and ensure understanding in a short or long lesson setting. It's a lot of information to throw at someone on top of "how to snowboard". I encourage avoiding tactics, jargon, and analogies/metaphors that obfuscate and complicate your point. If you're training other instructors or evaluators, these make sense. For anyone else, there are better tactics and drills to achieve the same goals more efficiently. And isn't that what good snowboarding is really all about? ;) That's half the challenge, in trying to break down the pedagogy and skills. A lot of high-level instructors and coaches do this frequently. They often aren't aware that nerdboarding overcomplicates things for students. Of course, not every student is the same, and some will have great proprioception and kinesthetic awareness, but those individuals are far from the norm. I hope this helps clear things up. From one trainer to another, happy turns!!
I think about snowboarding 24/7 in my off season, so this was a nice surprise pop up in my notifications.....I spent my last 2 winters in Austria snowboarding, so I know you're loving those runs this early in the season 🫡
he makes it look so easy ... then you go on the slop and spend most of the morning on your bottom .. then you calm down . think of the ski pool and it clicks ...
@@malcolmmoore OK, I understand. Is the snowboard better than the Warpic? I'm about to buy. Now I'm unsettled. Could you give me a tip? I am an advanced driver. But I need a wide board for carving. That's why I wanted to buy the Warpic now. Overall, an all-rounder who can also carve well.
@@TheTzzaa If you're looking for a mostly carving board, then the Superpig might be a better option than the regular Warpig. The Biru is a great shred but is more expensive, harder to get hold of and in my personal opinion not as good as the Super/War. But everyone is different, and will treat you differently depending on a whole host of stuff....Amplid boards are super damp haven't ridden the Dada, seen in the video, but the antiphase tech in the Souly Grail and Singular is outstanding.
I don't know how you change the edge so early. If I put my weight to the edge on the down side of the hill, the board just bites into the snow and I fall. Edit: Okay, I see it now. Your body is a pendulum in a sense but there is another grand pendulum to the whole swing going down with you. When you are at the end of one side the pendulum is still going down but in relation to the hill you are going up. Another, more sensical way to say it would be "You are going up at the end moments and that allows you to change sides."
Yeah, I didn't want to get too deep into the technical stuff in this one, but yes a slight up movement can help you make the edge change. I go into that on much more specific detail in my course, but also in alot of my other videos too if you don't want to pay for a more in depth programme!
Sound like you're catching your edge, which will be because you aren't holding a clean traverse across the slope at the end of a turn before changing edge, anyway, just seems like everyone is getting confused... 😂
@@Loki_Tata Essentially, the rules that apply to going down still applies when going up, but they are in reverse. For a short moment at the end of a swing, he is going up. Therefore, he has to switch where he puts his weight. If he did not switch, his board would bite up into the snow. If it helps, imagine that someone pushed you really hard uphill and you are going up for 15 meters. How would you stop yourself and turn it into a swing and go down? Idk if it still seems like an awkward explanation :D Have fun with your course.

Edit: Okay, I see it now. Your body is a pendulum in a sense but there is another grand pendulum to the whole swing going down with you. When you are at the end of one side the pendulum is still going down but in relation to the hill you are going up.
Another, more sensical way to say it would be "You are going up at the end moments and that allows you to change sides."
I also don't understand this, but I don't get your analogy either 😄
Yeah, I didn't want to get too deep into the technical stuff in this one, but yes a slight up movement can help you make the edge change. I go into that on much more specific detail in my course, but also in alot of my other videos too if you don't want to pay for a more in depth programme!
Sound like you're catching your edge, which will be because you aren't holding a clean traverse across the slope at the end of a turn before changing edge, anyway, just seems like everyone is getting confused... 😂
@@malcolmmoore No worries mate, I'll see you in the spring for my live 5-day course, so you can get me all pro'd up 🏂🤣

Essentially, the rules that apply to going down still applies when going up, but they are in reverse.
For a short moment at the end of a swing, he is going up. Therefore, he has to switch where he puts his weight. If he did not switch, his board would bite up into the snow.
If it helps, imagine that someone pushed you really hard uphill and you are going up for 15 meters. How would you stop yourself and turn it into a swing and go down?
Idk if it still seems like an awkward explanation :D Have fun with your course.
Im so jealous...
