- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Improve your snowboarding turns and snowboarding technique by employing 'Torsional Twist' into your riding! In this video I teach you how to become a better snowboarder by using your knees and ankles properly. This important technique is often used by beginner snowboarders when they start learning, but then forgotten about as they progress. However it is very important when creating grippy short radius turns on your snowboard.
If you would like to have snowboard lessons with me here in Alpe d'Huez, France, then take a look at my website below to find out more:

Best snowboarding channel. This video probably saved my life last winter.
🙏🙏🙏 awesome thanks man!
@@malcolmmoore where the hell are you ? the slope looks so beautiful and you have it all to yourself. so cool
@@mistermurzyn6303 very late reply but I'm in alpe d'huez in France 🇫🇷
@@malcolmmoorestill much respect for replying. I’m about to go snowboarding for the first time, and my brother sent me your videos.
Bro, you have been my big brother in helping me understand snowboarding! By the end of my first year i ripped down that hill with confidence!
I thought I was crazy but ive been using this for years!!!! Flat on front steeper in back cuts me through the crap in New England!!! thanks for teaching this
Awesome! Hope you have a good winter in new England!
Just into my second season of snowboarding. This video and all your videos “feel right”. It’s just clicks in my mind. Can’t wait to drill this on my next run!
Your videos are timeless! Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Thank you. I been noticing my turns are skidded and didn't know where to start to fix it. Especially the short radius turns I can feel the skid as I make a quick turn with my upper body. But now I will go back to basic to do it with proper carving techniques. Thank you for your video very informative and clear. Will definitely try this to fix my riding
Let me know how it goes!
This is a superb explanation. I've been riding for 2 seasons, I catch up pretty fast when it comes to turning on steep terrain but most of the time i skid on my heel edge. And this torsional movement is all ive been looking for. Never knew what torsional is until i found this channel. Been watchin tons of snowboard bloggers/youtubers, but this is the only one that detailed everything. Thank you Malcolm
Thanks Jessica!! Torsional is the one! Happy to help 😊😊
Great explanation! I was taught this in instructor training but find it hard to describe, this way of explaining makes it so simple. This is definitely the number one trick that has helped my snowboarding progress over the years, thanks for breaking it down better here!
Thanks so much Nicole 🙏
Excellent explanation! I have been skidding in my turns quite a bit and have felt a bit out of control sometimes. Yesterday I even fell backwards on a toe side turn and hit my head yesterday. I watched this video on a break and am about to get out there and put this into practice.
I hope it helps!
New snowboarder, love the lever example. I have been struggling with turns and this totally makes sense as to how my body should respond when thinking about lever pulls. I’ve been relying on my upper body. Thank you for this!
Good luck with your snowboarding journey, you'll be smashing it soon!
I really like your snowboarding tutorial. The explainaiton is clear and the music is smoothing. Afterall, watching your videos is really a feast.
Great to hear, i really appreciate it!
Feeling that the thing I missed when trying this was the speed on edge across the slope. Best channel for tips and lessons
Thanks man 🙌
Just returned from practicing these techniques and although when I start the practice this I forget other things I'm working on. Actually got some knee bend and torsional twist going and you really can feel the difference if you try. Great job!
Perfect!
Can you make a video that focuses on tight, short turns? It feels like most videos on YT focus on wide turns which are great for when the slopes are empty but most of the time, they arent. Short turns with a focus on speed control would be a great video, thanks for the content man
Sure thing, I will try and do that over the next couple of weeks. The movement in this video of using your feet and knees independently is essential for short turns. The second key ingredient is getting an early edge change before the fall line, so that you are achieving grip early in the turn, and not just skidding it around.
@@malcolmmoore Thanks, just finished watching another of your videos and I cant wait to put it into practice! Skidding around feels so easy that iv fallen into the habit instead of properly using my edges.
Thanks for the help from CT, USA bro!
@@Yawnz2 skidding can work on the piste, but it definitely doesn't work when it comes to riding off piste, whether that be perfect powder or just some chopped up terrain. Even in the slush skidding will be tiresome on your legs, so its good to try and get riding well on the piste, then taking your riding all over the mountain will become alot easier!
I’ve done this ages ago but forgot how to do this it’s a very good refresher
Nice, yeah always good to refresh the basics! 👍
DUDE!! Hands down the best snowboarding tutorial in youtube that teaches good and proper techniques that'll set you up with a good foundation and habits! Keep it up man! YOU ARE A LEGEND
You're a legend! Cheers
I’ve just come back from my second snowboard trip ever and I was actually better the first time I went. Felt disappointed coming home from the latest one. Wish I’d come across your videos before I went 😂 but seeing them has made me excited to get back out and practice again.
Are dry slopes any use in learning? They are all I have access to outside of a ski trip.
Yeah I think dry slopes are great as a refresher before your trip definitely! I've taught courses at hemel before
This actually made so much sense thank you so much lol
thanks for the tip. i will apply this next time. Thanks
Hope.it helps 🙏🙏
Awesome video, I had been feeling pretty comfortable making S turns where I'd patiently wait till my board was pointing downhill to switch to the new edge. Essentially the board was riding me, instead of the other way around. Went down a black diamond yesterday for the first time, and that method didn't work. I need to do a better job of controlling the board onto the new edge immediately. Can't wait to try this on the hill next time! Thanks for the tutorial!
This will definitely help you take your riding to the next level. Let me know how you get on!
Exactly where I'm at, got to get more control and less skidding down the steep runs..✌
@@tonchentayler9692 the next video might have to be on riding ice the way the resort is at the moment!
If you've heard of a ripstik I think this kind of helps with this since the only way you can turn on that is with pushing that knee forward.
I wish someone had explained the torsional twist to me before I go through ALL the bad exercises for years and eventually understand it after years of bad crashes :(
Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Thanks Malcolm, this guide helped me greatly; I could translate your analogy to my riding during my next snowboarding trip!
Glad to help! 👍
Needed this info thank u brada! 👍🏽
Glad to help!
Up to a week ago I've never done any board riding. I got a mountainboard. Not snowboard. Your tips have helped me progress quickly. Including torsional twist. I have much more control and more confidence
Awesome, good to hear! 🙏
@malcolmmoore I love your videos. You explain things in a very natural and easy to understand way. I was wondering what your opinion is on board length and rider weight - do these play much of a role or it is just technique and a lighter rider can get away with a longer board? I am 180 cm and 63kg riding 157 medium-flex board. I never manage to create than thin line no matter what angles and forward lean I choose. The board just skids. Looking at the board specs the 157 Burton Process board requires rider weight of 61kg to 79kg which makes me only 2kg above the minimum required. What is your take on length when it comes to lower weight? Thanks!
thanks you, i'm do it , this video is excelent !!!!
Awesome!
I find it harder to do it on the toe edge than on the heel edge. It feels a little awkward and more difficult to press down on the toe to get the turn around. Do you have any tips? Thank you for putting out these great videos.
Thanks so much for the video Malcolm! One quick question: When I tried to pull or push the levers I instantly catch an edge. I suppose I should flatten the board first before triggering the levers?
This has been a game changer on steep runs. However, I struggle getting a good twist on heelside turns. Should I experiment with my angles or is there a trick that can help?
Hi Malcolm, thank you so much for your videos. My riding has been taken so much to the next level because of you. I had a quick question about this - how would the fore and aft pressure on each foot you taught in one video apply to this technique?
Am I always leading with the front foot lever first followed by the back foot lever regardless of the direction of turn?
Wowzer!
🤙🤙🤙
What’s your binding setup in this vid?…if you can recall
+15 -12 👍
Hey Malcolm great video! I been out of riding for a long time and now really paranoid when I'm turning and catching an edge. A question is do you always initiate the turn(turning the lever) with your front foot and then quickly followed by the back foot?
I do always use this movement to some extent in all my turns, moreso for smaller tighter turns and less so for big carved turns, but it's always there. This turn might be worth a watch if you're worried about catching an edge 👍
ruclips.net/video/sVUnwWhz1x0/видео.html
I want to point out that for beginners they need to be careful how much they practice this and in what kind of slopes. I've hurt my right knee because of the pressure that I've been putting on it while snowboarding. Have a safe ride everyone!
Now when u say using the lever are you using that term as in controlling what your feet do such as lift one foot up and tilt the dither down causing twist in the board ?????????????????? Need help !!!!!!
Yeah, but it comes more from pushing your knees across the board rather than from pulling your feet up and pushing them down 👌
Dear Malcolm: I had my AASI Level I exam yesterday when I used your lever analogy for my segment of teaching garland turns. I got an A for my lesson content! All the instructors loved this analogy and our examiner called it a rock star analogy! This analogy will spread among instructors like fire! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome to hear, good luck to you with all your exams!
Malcolm Moore Thank you! I passed my AASI Level I exam! Now I can relax and watch all your other videos! 😄
@@veronical8103 congrats!
Watching this video was a game changer for me, now I’m in control of my turns and not afraid of doing narrow or steep runs! This man deserves more subs!!!!
Thankyou!
This man has a gift for teaching man!
First off this place looks great, will have to check it out & secondly like others have said, your channel is without doubt the best out there in the snowboarding world, Jeez it's like having private lessons, so well explained & easy to understand, reminds me of having your favourite teacher in your best subject at school , keep it up Malc this channel is gonna be big !
Thank you very much!
@@malcolmmoore What Mountain is that!? It's crazy gorgeous!
@@rossanavuitton9450 Alpe d’huez France
This is explained alot better than in most other beginner videos. You explain how to get the board on edge perfectly. Many videos say "use your shoulder" to initiate the turn which is bad, because later you want a complete seperation of upper and lower body. Turning with the "levers" (lower body) is an awesome explenation
Great videos Malcolm, I’ve been snowboarding for over 20 years now myself but I’m not an instructor and I can’t explain properly how I do what I’m doing. I have just bought my 11 year old son his first board and teaching the very basics is easy enough but this lever analogy for torsional twist is genius Malcolm. I didn’t really know that that’s what I do when I turn! But now I can explain this better to my son. I’ve been watching a few more of your videos now and you explain everything clearly and well. Great job, and thanks.
That's awesome to hear! Good luck to your boy, he's starting off at the right age, I didn't begin until I was 17!
@@malcolmmoore Likewise, I was 16/17 when I first started, but I'm 41 now so soon I'll be the one struggling to keep up the pace of a full day on the hills!
Another excellent video. Love the clear approach.
Thanks Stuart!
Finally someone explains this in a way that I can visualize and digest it! thanks!!
Glad to help, Thanks for the comment!
This is maybe the single best video for snowboard learning on RUclips.
Using Lever analogy was great. I have been trying to understand this, now it’s easy implement
Thanks, glad to help!
So proper the breakdown of that :) I have been really into steering the board with my feet last season and realized how powerfully responsive it can make any board.. Great channel!! found out about this channel from your Salamon Dancehaul review.
By far the best explanation i have heard/seen on youtube dude! Keep up the great work and knowledge sharing!
Thank you, I will do!
as a beginner, not being able to turn from heel edge to toe edge smoothly was a big demotivator, and i wish i found out about this channel before i took lessons because this would've helped me so much
Easy to understand explanation! Thanks so much! Hope you can come to Japan - Hakuba and Hokkaido!
I hope so too, maybe next year!
Your instruction is AMAZING, Malcolm! This is a perfect example of using visual, auditory and kinesthetics for teaching. Your voice, your intonations, how you explain the biomechanics and even the music all worked extremely well to help me understand. You have a talent for teaching! You are an amazing instructor!
Awesome video. As a beginner, can someone help me understand why it's ok to switch your edge before your board is straight in a traverse? I thought this would catch your edge and send you flying. Is this only true when the board is more horizontal? I'm struggling to understand exactly when it's ok to switch your edge and when it's not. Thank you!
Hi Malcolm! I'm a beginning snowboarder and I've taken some lessons and watched lots of RUclips beginner snowboard videos. This is easily one of the most helpful. I've not seen turns explained like this before. I gave this a try today and the responsiveness from the board almost startled me the first time I tried it. Everyone says "get on your toes" or "get on your heels" and that *sorta* works but the technique in this video works on a whole higher level. I felt much more in control today after working the board this way. Thanks from a grateful newbie.
Thanks Josh, that's awesome to hear, good luck with your snowboarding!
Which board did you have (profile)? On basic profile and 7 stiffness its not working without pushing toes
@@opti2k4 I ride an old Burton board that I got on Craigslist, don,t know much about it other than it has a mild camber and doesn't seem exceptionally stiff. Bought a couple years ago as a beginner and have been riding it for a few seasons.
This is probably the best guide and explanation for beginners. As a beginner myself, i use this as my Bible as I get better thank you!
Thanks for the comment! I hope it helps you!
Subscribed. This is extremely useful, I always struggled with understanding how you initiate the edge change from your heel edge to toe edge and have heard a ton of explanations that never clicked for me. I think this lever analogy is extremely good and I finally understand what has to happen down where the board meets the snow.
Thanks Florin! Glad to help, I'll be back with more next winter! Thanks for subscribing 🙏
Keep up the good work.
I believe soon you'll one of the most watched on RUclips.
Clear accent. Brilliant way to explain things 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support!
Great video! Can you recommend best snow shop for renting a decent board? Thx
In alpe d'huez? Alpe Sports has a better selection than most shops. They have some good high end boards.
@@malcolmmoore Thanks! Will be checking them out
A little summary for myself:
This video is a detailed study into maximizing the use of torsional twist in order to accomplish low friction and tight turns.
prerequisites: good posture
Video starts with ineffective tight turns:
1. MM revisits the beginner drill called falling leaves.
- focus on using knee lever action to accomplish the drill. just use one knee lever.
2. S turn: use the second lever once your board is pointed down the hill to switch to toe slide.
To fix the skid and make the turns more high performance.
1. add a 2-4 second traverse between each turn.
1a. this gives speed. greater speed allows you to switch edges more and more before the fall line (due to centrifugal forces). this allows you to have grip a high fraction of the time, which is a requirement of high performance snowboarding.
2. eliminate the traverse for quick tight turns.
keys to focus on:
- no skidded or washed out turns.
Issues I had on my first day:
- my toe side traverses end up skidded for a couple seconds when I first get into it. Maybe because I'm weighting my back leg out of fear? my posture is probably all wrong too.
Takeaway:
- make sure feet are evenly weighted
- focus on spine position over edge.
Hi Malom! Thanks a lot for sharing all those helpful tips!! I actually learned Snowboarding by watching your videos, no other teacher needed! :)
I've one more question about posture while riding. Does it matter if I tilt my pelvis foreward or backwards while being on the edge? To me it felt somehow better to tilt it backwards on the toe edge. Or isn't there a right or wrong?
Thanks a lot! ✌️
Love this channel!.... A tip: In the VERY cheap book "Go Snowboarding", by Neil McNab, on its accompanying DVD you will find a fantastic slow-mo of him flexing the board to do tight turns on black runs. Amazing to watch. Unfortunately the dweeb rides goofy and did not switch the video x axis to show the same thing in regular..... nuts! it would have been so easy to do!. So you have to load it up on your computer.... and switch it in software. Malcom here explains just "how" it is done MUCH better.
Thanks. Somewhat insane but I’m looking at doing instructor course and I’ve just turned 70..
But took up surfing in last four years so I’m rubbish but love it.
Regards and so why not?
Novice rider here, I found when I turned onto my toe edge I would involuntarily do a 360 ending up riding goofy which I wasn't as comfortable doing.
So.if I pull my left knee back in it should correct me back to normal?
awesome explanations and demos, great video quality as well. Only thing I might say is Please keep the helmet on during the explanation part as well(I know you you did for the riding part👍🏼, but it leaves some confusions)
Hey Jack, I just take it off so you can see my face better when I'm describing things, otherwise it can feel like you're just watching a stormtrooper!
would love to be able to do these 'high performance' turns where you go way across the slope without getting bulldozed by a skier from uphill with no respect or awareness for those downhill making turns lol. i pretty much always have to just skid the turns in order to stay out of their way because nobody yields downhill
Tanks for the great videos. I do have a question about the direction of your levers. It seems to not just be straight forward and back especially for the heel side turn but also out at an angle. Could you give a rough angle for the lever to go out and back for both legs on the heel side and toe side turn?
Thanks for this “2 levers” concept. This really makes me easier to understand how twisting works.
Glad to help!
how you go SOON to one edge to other without getting an edge and dropping?
I need to stay both fee flat in the changing?
Or straight change feet edge and body position is the awnser?
I can do toe side carves ok, leaving pencil line but can't engage properly on heal side side slipping. Any ideas.
Used this today to refresh myself. Went boarding for the first time in 10 years. Felt like I'd never been away after a few runs. Only problem I have is I feel like I'm relying too heavily on my back foot and need to trust the board more. But happy with today! Great vid. Thanks.
I really enjoy the quality! Good job :)
Thanks for watching, I'll keep them coming!
Also. Prior to getting board about 4 years ago I lost my main career I got really sick and not as active. Because of being sedentary or standing I developed in wanted curves in the spine. Yesterday. Because of boarding and the added mobility my back popped multiple time throughout the week. My back is straight again. My balance is much better. I can walk over 450 feet on a pipe that's 4 inches in diameter and in places 5 feet off the ground. The balance and motion has really helped. I have a background in flipping when younger but it had been over a decade after an injury.
Man that sounds tough, I broke my back about 9 years ago and it was about a 3 year recovery with a couple of big operations, back pain can br the worst. But try and keep motivating yourself, doing rehab, stretches etc, and hopefully things will improve! Sounds positive so far though 👍
These are things I've done naturally for years, but your videos help me to keep refining. Keep it up Malcolm, your time will come!
Thanks, it's difficult at the minute with no lifts, really struggling to produce videos!
Awesome video!
Malcom, great channel! Lots of very good instruction videos and explanations! Unfortunately Alpe d'Huez is a bit to far away for me 😞 I love your lever analogy and dry run exercise. My snowboard teacher back years ago explained it by foot movement but your lever visualization is much easier to understand from my point of view. Along with your open/close door visualization it created a four step mantra in my head "open - door - close - door" which I will remind when practicing your posture drills with ski pole. Good to have your beginner and advanced snowboard tips playlists in advance before I hit slopes again in two weeks 🙂 But there's one thing I still struggle with: sometimes in steeper choppy terrain I'm "over steering" my backside turn (no issue front side), pushing my back leg way too long and too much lean aft (already seen your videos on back leg potential and before/aft lean). Leading to slow down a lot as I often face slightly uphill, loosing my line and rhythm. I know it's hard to rate it on distance without any video or such. But maybe you have an idea of what I'm doing wrong in case it's caused by a "general reason" like wrong posture, stance (riding +15/0). Or maybe you know some corrective drills 😉
Finally, I like to watch your riding style but as soon as Indy is appearing I'm distracted and watch him. Great dog! Going to send you a tip for going out and get him a goody.
Hey Olly, thanks for the support and I appreciate the tip, it will go staight to some treats for Indy 🐕😁
As for the oversteering, it's difficult to say without seeing you ride. It could be a bit of counter rotation, check your arms stay in line with the board and the back arm isn't coming out at the end of the turn. It could be too much weight only on the front foot. Or something else! If it's not happening on more mellow slopes focus on what you're right there, and see if you can take those movements onto steeper slopes!
Malcolm, do you have a physics background? I have a physics degree and you explain everything like a physicist would. Very logical and clear! Great teaching :)
Thanks so much!! I don't have a background in physics but have always been interested in science...also my mum is a biologist
Malcolm. Wow. I tried this today and it really brought my turning up so much! I come from a surf, skate and water ski background. I've been doing those since I was 8 years old and was even competing on an amateur level in skateboarding and water skiing. I surfed triple overhead waves when I lived in southern California. I moved to Switzerland and started snowboarding late last year. When I got off piste at the end of the season, the whole thing opened up. I was surfing again. But I didn't know how to work with the bindings. They seemed to prevent me from letting my feet guide the board. I've been listening to other RUclipsrs and nothing has helped more than this video right here. We got some fresh snow and the slope closest to home was closed, so I hiked up and tried this. Wow. I am suddenly on the next level. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Thank you, and you'll have to teach me to surf better one day, 5ft waves are about as big as I've ever gone!
so - hang on - I turn into the direction that I push the lever forward?
what board is he riding?
I'm on the Ride Warpig, 154!
Snowboarding for 18 years with plenty of seasons off lately and this video helped me get back to basics and get my confidence back on the steeps!
Awesome to hear! 👌
Isn't this technique more dangerous (easier to catch an edge) than just twisting your upper body a bit (head/shoulders) and leveraging weight to front foot to turn? What's the pros of your technique over mentioned except slightly faster board response?
You can catch your edge if you do it wrong yes, but with your technique mentioned you won't be able to make more advanced moves like carved Edge wiggles for instance. I go into all this stuff a bit more in my most recent video 👍
thanks for the video! is this Alpe d'Huez ?
if so is it recommended ? (it looks really nice from the video, and im looking for a place for my next snowboarding trip :) ) ...
Yes it is, it's where I live and it's good enough for me!
Gonna try this technique next weekend. Was able to link some turns last weekend but still get afraid shifting from heel to toe. Toe to heel feels fine. This video shows that I can slow down a lot and still change edges successfully to figure out the balance and get comfortable before going further on each edge. Thanks!
Same here!
So many teachers gloss over falling leaf like it's bad. Most don't even spend time on toe side. Getting a student to master both sides like this will lead to a seamless teaching of turns.
👌
Awesome vids. Quality info from a Quality rider.
Thanks!
Nice work dude. It's rare to find someone who will explain torsional twisting. Have a superb day in the midst of the madness 👍🏻
Cheers Leo!
, it’s a good booster for beginners and essential tip for explanation
My issue is that my back foot comes out further and full stops me. I'm not able to get that full s-turn and dig the edges into the snow. Any tips?
probably most important snowboarding video i have ever watched!
Amazing thanks so much 😊🙏🫶
This could really be helpful for steep moguls. I still struggle with those after a few years snowboarding. Im going to practice this on some steeps next time, then take it to moguls.
Absolutely 👌
Bei 80% snowboard tutorials are really garbage. „Turn with your shoulders“ my ass, this is the fundamental stuff right here
🙌
This is when knowing how to ride a ripstik helps in snowboarding
Bro, this is literally the best edge to edge turn tutorial I could find on RUclips! When I was practicing carving turns, I always found myself kicking the back leg and I always end up with skid turns. Thank you so much! Please keep the hard work. - Fan from China
Thankyou! Unfortunately the ski resorts here in france are still shut, but I'm still trying to make videos, it just requires me to hike alot!
at about 3 minutes, when you say "pull the leaver back" when doing a toes turn, does that mean all the way back so one foot is on heels, or so that one foot is neutral?
All the way back I think, I didn't watch the section, but yeah you pull your knee over the board to pull it from heels to toes or vice versa in one movement to change edge
This is awesome Malcolm. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of how torsional twist affects how the board reacts. My entire family just started riding and this video is perfect! Thanks again mate!
Awesome, Thanks for letting me know!
This videos great for beginner slopes, but when you’re doing black diamonds on uneven terrain. you have to do quick, narrow movements. Can you do a video for this?
Marvin, thanks for breaking this down... as an advanced snowboarder I remember when I discovered this by accident and began making it a more conscious part of my riding(it may have been learning powder when I was forced to subtly initiate my turns)... What a game changer! But my question is, I am going to buy a new snowboard... the one I am looking at is a Burton double dog tree family board.... I am coming off of a very flexible board and expect this one to be stiffer(mine is an old ride control from 2000)... I am worried I will lose some of my torsional twist and ability to quickly steer through the trees in the powder?? What do you think?
hands down the BEST in-depth explanation for snowboarding!! Thank you so much!! I'm still garbage but slightly more knowledgeable garbage.
😂 thanks!
My kids are not snowboarders by any means, but they desperately wanted to play with/learn to snowboard on our local sledding hills. This snowboard is perfect. It seems to be made well; is sturdy. The price was very reasonable for something we're just playing with. I will definitely buy two more; I initially only bought one for my 3 kids to share, just to make sure I liked it well enough.
Thank you Malcolm, by watching your video I've finally knew how to change my edges after a long time being a falling leaf player.
However, I found a problem that i can't figure it out myself, which is I can't put my weight on the front foot, even i can feel my gravity is shifting to the front but still not feeling my front foot is taking control. Always back foot feeling exhausted.
great video. will you in the future do tutorials for people who are goofy? Thanks.
You can actually get apps that will flip your screen, or you can just watch it next to a mirror!
That is how I learned how to ride contra rotation on steep
my first time snowboarding was surprisingly easy. not because I'm some prodigy or beginners luck, but because of the physics shown in this video^ and all my years beforehand riding a Ripstik.
that was about 10 years ago and i've since used Ripstiks to teach my friends the basics at home so we can make the most of our time ($$) on the mountain. Being based in Florida (contrary to popular belief, it doesn't snow here), caster boards and practicing torsional twist are probably the best tools to build a foundation for snowboarding on the cheap.
