Not just breaking down a complex process into simple building blocks and clearly explaining and demonstrating them - but ALSO doing the whole thing in one take - really impressive verbal flow!!
Thankyou!
@malcolmmoore I've been teaching boarding for 17 years, full cert for about 11 years, AASI examiner for 6 years. Out of all the rubbish "pro tip" stuff out there for boarding, I think yours is one of the few worth watching. A couple minor things, like board under CoM isn't always ineffective/inefficient, nor is a skidded turn always inferior to a "thin line/more carved" turn, but as labeled, this is a more basic process video and getting into those details starts to get heavy. Haha. Great basic tips and solid visuals for early season warm up/reminders!
@@NGCM4Can gripping the edge be considered a synonym for control? When should i have the board right under my CoM? What is an instance where skidding is good? I genuinely want to learn. I am starting to think that it's not the turns you do, but more like being able to do all of them and using them properly.
There he is. Malcolm is back
✌️
Indeed he is. I might even say herzlich willkommen 🎉 my Bluetooth is glitching, still listening tho
So freakin awesome… brushing up before a japow visit…
Yay!🎉
I've been snowboarding for over 20 years, and this is so beautifully explained. I can see my tired bad habits in here. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I hate him here too :(
Now I realize why my turns have been skidding no matter what. Thanks for this lesson! I'll try this the next time I return to the slopes.
Awesome, hope it helps!
I was confused, thinking “yea I already do that” then when the “what happens if you don’t do this section” come up, I instantly got it. Especially when it comes to the steeper stuff!
Great tutorial! Can’t wait to implement!
Absolutely nailed it.
Congrats, this is one of the best examples of good coaching. Breaking down complex concepts into something people can see, do, feel and try whatever their level. And best of all it allows people to progress with it and experiment themselves to enjoy finding new things in snowboarding.
Honestly great work!
Appreciate that, thankyou!
This is exactly what i'm doing wrong since forever. Especially when i'm going from the heel edge to the toe edge i do that kick with the back foot pretty much 100% how you described it on the bad edge change section. Always knew i'm doing something wrong there, but it's nice to see a confirmation with some more explanations on how i should be doing it.
Exactly the same for me, just a shame i watched this video right after i got home from a snowboard trip
You literally taught me to snowboard with these videos and this exact point is what clicked for me when I finally learned to turn both ways. You're the man! If you have a "how to progress from beginner to intermediate to advanced" video series that would be amazing by the way
Thanks, and yeah, great idea!
Again, love how you continue to break things down in such simplistic terms. Starting my 3rd season at 45+ and you have been instrumental in my progression. Thank you sir!
Awesome, plenty of seasons left in you I am sure!
Good to have you back Malcolm! Can't wait to start snowboard this season (2nd season for me) and to improve my riding skills with your videos. Happy early season riding!
Awesome, I'll be bringing in some more advanced stuff soon!
Me too
Malcom you're the best! A lot of instructors just say a whole bunch of things that just happened and shouldn't focus on. You continually highlight the actual CORE mechanics, and demonstrate/visualize them very well. Keep it up!
Thanks, appreciate it!
I started snowboarding at the very end of last season so this is really my first season, and I just realized I'm definitely skidding my turns the way you showed by not controlling my CoM through the edge change. Will absolutely be practicing this! Thanks so much!
No problem hope it helps!!
This makes a ton of sense and is super helpful, thank you. It explains why I've been feeling like I "ski" my snowboard. I recently switched from skiing to snowboarding and in skiing, the center of mass generally swings under the body, rather than over the snowboard like you described in the video. Even after correcting counter rotation and doing knee steering, I've felt like I'm swishing the board and getting a skiing feeling rather than carving or riding the board. This explains why perfectly. Cheers.
finally jumping into my first ever snowboard season this year after a few years of skiing. Love your lessons! great explanation
It's so great how you break down snowboarding into its simplest parts! I've gotten loads better just watching your videos. Thank you!
Great video, when you demonstrated the common wrong way of boarding at the end I realised that's exactly me and have always been frustrated why I can't get a good carve. Great simple video .
Thanks 🙏😊✌️
Glad to see you back in action this season! Loving the graphic to show exactly what you are talking about. Keep up the great work
Really can’t thank this man enough!
I love the sport but was never good at it, tried a few times but always got myself injured. Was almost convinced that I was never going to get better at snowboarding but then found your video! The explanation and demos were so easy and straightforward that I really improved by implementing the techniques and always remembering the fundamentals!
I can now truly enjoy every ride and even do the black runs all thanks to Malcolm!
That is awesome to hear, many thanks, and I appreciate the tip 🙏
Love this video. I feel like I never done a proper turn. Bought my first board, binding and boots this season along with my season pass. Thanks to this video, I am pumped!!! Thank you.
Malcom!! Hell yeah, it’s my second season this year and I’m psyched! Thank you for the confidence
Clear and crisp explenation and demonstration, I struggle a bit with this and now I finally understand where the skidding is comming from. Ready to test it on my next weekend ride! Thanks man, highly appreciated :)
I just need these simple and clear instructions to start my season. Thank you very much😊!!
Ive just done my first day on snow instead of dry slope and I was struggling to get a nice carve skidding every turn. I think practicing this will help! Thanks for the video!
This is so relevant for ski carving as well!
Moving your CoM over the ski rather than emergency forcing your skis past your CoM is the subtle but fundamental difference between being able to feel the edge bite and, well, skidding.
So even though I’ve never snowboarded in my life (soon to change that, I hope), I’m subscribing ASAP!
Awesome, yeah I ski as well, and there's alot of very similar concepts!
Ive been using your videos to learn as last year was my first season. I love your clear and concise way of teaching, and the graphic was an awesome way of showing what I hadnt realized was an issue! Stoked to be out there again soon this year, thanks coach.
Thanks so much 😊😊✌️✌️
This information is amazing!! Thank you for breaking it down, the difference between shifting your center of gravity over the board versus kicking or pushing past your center.
Glad it was helpful!
As always, thank you. Looking forward to this season.
Heading to ski track right now for my second day snowboarding ever. Gonna practice your advices today :) Thanks!
I’ve been thinking recently about videos from Malcom and RUclips recommended me this video :) miracle 😀 thank you for sharing your experience
Hey Malcom,as the snowboarding season is still a ways away here,I was wondering you could think of some drills / practices people could do to practice these fundementals maybe just while standing in there house with or without there snowboard on? Some drills that just gets your body used to the movements so when we actualy hit the slops we can focus on actualy doing these things instead of learning / practicing at the same time. Love the videos and keep up the great work!
Your fundamentals videos have helped me progress so much. Thank you, Malcolm! 🙏
Malcolm has the best tips and tricks!! This is one of the best to understand his riding and to get better, can’t wait 👍
Love this! Focus on the little things! Thank you bro
This was/is extremely helpful. I'm 100% using my front foot as a focal point and my back foot is guiding the turn. I'm going to practice edge change/turn next time out and see if I can improve. Thank you so much! For some reason after watching a million videos this is the one that clicked in my brain on what I'm doing wrong and why I keep catching edges
This is amazing!! I think I was doing it like in the ending so this season I’ll work on bettering it! Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're welcome!!
Excellent- the example of the bad fishtailing at the end reallly helpws
Im so happy to see you back, looking forward to watching your videos this season!
This video was very helpful! In particular, the visual of the snowboard showing the COM change (while you were going through the motions live) made something *click* in my brain 💙 can’t wait to get back out there this SZN
Great video Malcolm, ive been snowboarding for 10yrs and love how i learn so much from your tutorials. Have an awesome season mate.
Your a legend.
Thanks, you too!
Best piece of advice this!!
Now I know the difference between edge change and turns. Very clarifying!
Awesome!
Great vid, thanks !
The last few seasons I have been trying to improve my turns and your vids are so helpful 👍
your videos have taught me how to snowboard, I can't thank you enough! Excited to keep improving with your videos this season!
Happy to help!! Thanks for the support 😊✌️🫶
Insanely helpful video, the moment you showed yourself kicking your foot out, a lightbulb switched for me. I knew my turns felt skiddy and chattery, and not even close to smooth, but I never knew why. Thank you!
Thanks for the vid!! I have yet to even look at a board in person but I’m planning on getting into it soon. Just watching a couple vids here and there learning what I can before I really deep dive into learning, so thanks again!!
Haha thanks!!!
You’re the best man! Every time I watch your videos and apply the advice, I see and understand improvements in my ride.
Awesome!
I had no idea that what I was doing to get myself to turn was a big mistake (kicking my back foot out). Thank you so much for this video. I took a nasty fall and knocked myself while trying to figure out an edge change before seeing this video. Thank you so so much for sharing.
Your snowboarding tips have helped me so much. Stoked that it’s winter again.
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for these videos, you are a great instructor first and then a great snowboarder!
In fact I believe that you could teach anything to anyone!
Haha, don't encourage me to make more RUclips channels!
You’re such a great teacher! Great content. Your vids really helped me improving my posture and technique . Kudos!
Thanks so much 😊😊
Can't wait for the season to start here. Thanks for getting my mind right before I even get out there
Great to see you back! Literally been checking your channel most days in case you found an all year glacier or something! Am off to Austria next year (Ellmau/Sol) then Bulgaria (Borovets), so keen to practice good drills in advance of the season!
Thanks, Ive been boarding quite sime time now. Freeride and park as well but sometimes didn't understood why I was skidding
Great instructional video, good flow and demos. Like the way he shows you how to do it then shows bad technique and how it affects the turns. Learning loads.
Thanks so much 🤗😃🙏
I have seen a few tens of videos, and I haven't seen the edge change indication in any of those videos! Thank you, and I cannot wait to try it!
Enjoy 😊🏂✌️
Always great videos. Looking forward for what's coming this winter season. Thanks Malcolm.
Thanks 👍
Another great explanation! Thanks for the tips. When I see a new Malcolm video I know the shred is coming soon! Excited for another season!
Good to see you back malcolm and another great video making great sense as usual.
Good to see you still on the supermatics, I got mine this summer and looking forward to trying them on the snow instead of in my bedroom. In your video about them you did say they work better when they are wet with snow and I'm hoping so because dry in the bedroom they are a bit difficult to engage
20 years that I didn't understand why I drifted on my backside turn. No teacher (that I paid) was really able to explain to me why. I just applied your advice this afternoon. My backside turn no drifting anymore! Thank you very gratefully from France!
The angle that you’re holding the camera is so perfect for illustrating your point. Thanks for the video!
Thanks 😊🫶✌️
Thank you, Malcolm! Fantastic instruction! I can't wait to take these ideas to the slope
Thankyou Jeff, and I really appreciate the donation, very kind of you!
The bad technique with the back foot thing makes so much sense. I have definitely caught myself doing that on steep Blacks last season.
It's called "slowing down". It's not a bad technique. If you don't want to bomb the hill, you need to brake. And you brake by "grippy" turning across the mountain (if there's room), or adding a slide in like a stop.
This video is misleading in portraying a speed check as a bad turn.
It's just a type of turn that also loses speed.
Around 6:50 you mentioned that on steeper slopes, it's common to panic a bit and move your board under your COM. I definitely notice when I'm getting too much speed on a steep slope, I'll kick out the board like that to bleed off some of that speed - is there a better way to do this? Especially when space is limited like on a narrow slope or in the glades?
This is exactly my problem too! I can do edge change decently on not so steep slopes, but once those steep parts come, I find myself skidding just because it slows me down much more. I also have no clue how to get past that. Practice and getting used to speed? Making many more edge changes per meter traveled so that you dont accelerate that much?? I have no idea.
When it is narrow and very steep, there is nothing wrong with this method. It is far more effective to slow yourself down in narrow spaces. The only alternative is daring going for a much faster decent down ind case of a narrow section could be risky and uncontrollable. If your got a lot of room to work with on the other hand try using the all of the slopes width, that's where the true skill shows and those carves really come out.
@@Gal4xy_AMV well said
Ideally you don't want to do it on steeps, but sometimes you don't have the space to turn and on those scenarios you may want to skid the board around.
Learn how to spray. You will learn how to break fast on your spot in a tight situation.
Most troublesome situations for would be like a narrow, lilltebit icey, and bowl shaped sloped. The ones where if you break you will only stand on the two most wide points(especially on camber boards) most of the times on hard icey snow.
What to do in such case?
This video is literally the core of snowboarding. Thank you for the advice!! Can’t wait to try it on the slope
Haha thanks so much, appreciate these kind words 😊😊
I do exactly this on steeper slopes. My plan for this season is to improve my poor technique. Great video, thank you!
Very clear! Not easy for me on steep blacks but I'm imprpving thank's to your edge changr tips.
Excellent video! So simple but so effective! 👌 Good to see you back on snow, missed you mate!
your videos helped me go from not knowing what an edge was to doing a 180 without an instructor, absolute legend. recommended you to all my friends
Great to see you back, thanks for excellent yet so simple advice
Great love how you make the mind body connection
I actually started doing early edge change (saw it in some carving tut) last season and it's a game changer!
have a nice season Malcolm!
Great video man! You're a natural teacher and explain things so clearly.
Happy shredding to ya!
Thanks! You too!
As a lvl 2 snowboarder I absolutely love your videos. You have such a clear way of explaining the mechanics of snowboarding & I feel like you have helped me to understand what I am teaching and make me a better instructor. Thank you! Keep up the great content ❤️
Awesome, thank you!
Oh goood! I am waiting my winter too and it's so close. Hope gonna have beautiful season again
I hope so too!
Love the way you explained this!
Thanks 🤗
Its so cool how you distilled this knowledge over the summer.
Yes! so good to have you back, Malcom😀 which means 2 things for me: winter is coming yeah! getting stoked! and need to check my technique - yes this a thing i need to work on. As always: this is the best quality quality when it comes to didactics and video editing on youtube. All thumbs up!
Wow that was like going to church ! It was great lesson coupled with great illustration !
Malcolm is back! Whenever I see your first video of the season I know snow is around the corner for us!
Cheers to a good season man!
Cheers!
This is really helpful. This is my second season snowboarding, and I'm starting to feel confident. This is going to help me just to remind myself of a simple way of doing what I need to be doing every turn.
Thanks so much 😊😊😊
You always know winter is here, when u start seeing Malcolm with his videos 👌
brilliant, im not a beginner but i have friend's that i would love to help out. this is a really straight forward way of explaining
thank you so much! this weekend was my first time snowboarding. Reminding your words I was able to nail it pretty quick! (also gotta admit Ive been skateboarding for some time, which I think has helped my balance and confidence!)
That's awesome well done!! Enjoy it 😊🙌✌️
I mean the level of clarity you bring with your lessons, this one specifically, is phenomenal. You literally showed me what I was doing wrong. Cant wait to try this upcoming season.
Cheers man ✌️
This video is golden, I didn''t realize I've been doing this mistake until I watch your video. Much appreciated!!
No worries glad it helped 🙌🙌
Having that COM diagram/demonstration is EXTREMELY helpful. That's the perfect implementation for people like me who have never snowboarded but are planning to, and do well with visual demonstrations of the HOW when it comes to explaining/doing things. I'd love to see a video on a beginner lesson in turning and stopping using this same device. Gonna have to go through all your other videos.
Thanks for the help man!
Glad it was helpful!
This is very clear and succinct. And it points out something I have been doing wrong for three decades!
Glad it helps!!
Thanks Malcolm
You just provided the one thing I was missing. Best advice on snowboarding ever!
I couldn’t work out why sometimes turning was difficult -once I made sure to shift my weight over the board it clicked.
Everything - trees, steep, edge to edge on flats just works now
Cheers Chris
Amazing I'm so pleased 😀 cheers Chris 😊😊
Such a simple thing but not obvious, thanks for clearing this up! This is precisely what was holding me back
You're welcome ✌️☺️
I have to comment again since Ive gotten out 5 times this season so far and am now utilizing this technique. I have to say, the sequence of getting on your new edge before the actual turn starts is the single best tip/advice Ive gotten out of any youtube vid. What a game changer for me and I think its worth emphasizing that once I started focusing on this my turns have smoothed out significantly. I do think there is a place for skidded turns where you bring the back foot around, mainly icy or really steep conditions, but this one tip of getting on your new edge before the turn really starts is absolute gold. I probably was aware of it but didnt conceptualize/implement it until this video, now its my one ride thought and its been great. Thanks again MM, keep em coming!
Yeah absolutely you can still use skidded turns, sometimes it can be the best thing to do on certain terrain, but glad to hear this tip has helped!
@@malcolmmoore Yesss, I'm kinda a beginner( last year was my first season) and I had been working on griping/carving turns and it feels so good on not so steep slopes, but I'm having a hard time turning in steep terrain because griping on turns make me catch too much speed and I get scared. I got a kinda better board for this season and I'll keep working on improving!! Turning on steeper terrain is scaryy :D (even more when you dont feel your wrists anymore)
Woahh. Finally I understand why I skit a lot. This is the problem.
Definitely doing this exercise this season.
This Saturday I started my season. I was in Austria too Mölltaler Gletscher. Testing my nevly bought supermatic. Everything was awesome.
i found ur channel at the start of this summer (ouch), im so glad you are back uploading new videos.. will look into all of ur channel to prepare for my next time on the snow! Thanks for everything!
So glad to see you back, no bs videos, straight forward and great information. This is going to be my 3rd full season and I know that I struggle with this concept. Kicking the back leg out is something I do on steeper terrain on my heel side turns and I know its not ideal technique and something I will be working on this year. I am one of the odd folks that are way better on my toe side than my heel side for whatever reason. Next time I go out, hopefully later this week, really going to focus on the edge change then the turn and try and not speed check so much kicking the back leg out. I appreciate the guidance and info as always! Keep them coming!
Thankyou, I hope the tips help!
@@malcolmmoorewhen i see videos of good snowboarders going down steep parts of a black diamond, I seen them doing the pivot foot thing. Is it ok in that situation? Also a video on going down steep terrain would be great
@@bboyVice007 ideally short turns on steeps is the technique, I've got a video on steeps coming out in a few weeks, I've just finished filming it..however also you need to ride to the conditions, if it's not very grippy sometimes you do just want to skid the board around!
Thanks for this simple rule and two-step sequences. I'll call it first principles of snowboarding
So good at explaining! Every beginner should watch this 1000x.
Thanks so much!!
Great start to the winter :) We just hit up Parsenn in Davos today and it was fabulous. Great to see you back on snow Malcolm :)
Awesome, I've just arrived in Saas Fee!
Welcome back! My literally favorite snowboarding teacher.
Very well explained. Can't wait to practice this next time I get to snowboard.
Enjoy!!
First signs of winter!! Thank you Malcolm
