Is the flat base section a trick question ? 'Do you even know which edge I started on?' 🤔😃😃 or maybe that's point, it doesn't matter 🙂 Love the content, actually figured out something I'm not doing properly on my diagonal side slip. Keep the vids coming !! 🏂🏂

@malcolmmoore

Жыл бұрын

Yeah exactly, that's the point, it's a neutral position, that you get into in between each turn, where the hips are over the centre of the board. In a normal turn you don't hold this position, and it ideally happens before you get into the fall line, but you still need to cross your centre of mass over the board. A big problem is that alot of people are often late with crossing their hips over the board, instead they shift their shoulders over the board first which will put them in a weak position on their new edge. Being able to isolate this movement will help you bring that timing and coordination into your normal turns 👍

No matter how skilled and full of experience man is, people should start the first run with the beginners exercises.

if I can make a couple of observations Brian... new things are difficult, and ones that can result in pain when done wrong can be scary - here are a few things that might help (apologies if you have already considered them): 1/ practice Malcolm's drills, progress through them but progress slowly - you will develop edge control, awareness of your center of gravity etc making you less likely to fall, and will build confidence from familiarity 2/ make sure you are wearing padding (head and bum at least), so you are not worried about being in pain if you fall 3/ consider using a reverse-camber board - this is where it looks like a banana or flattened-out letter-U when laid on the snow - this will make the turns easier and make it less likely that you catch an edge.

Yup, and every beginner will. You will eventually gain confidence in your riding and be comfortable going at faster and faster speeds. Intermediate riders feel the exact same way when going down blacks or steep blues (reds for the Europeans).

Learning how to instruct. This has been the best turn progression video I have found on KZread so far and I feel like I’ve watched most of them already.

I'm doing my first year as a ride instructor, and going back to basics was a real trip to see just how far away I got from being able to handle those fundamentals at demo speed. Nothing a little coaching from the experienced instructors couldn't fix, which just made me want to be an instructor even more.

Always good to check that you have the basics covered, thanks for the video.

I love these videos because i always start with the basics when I get back to the slopes, this was great to watch!

Love the videos, very helpful and insightful! We are heading out to Les Menuires in March, I will be going back to basics to iron out counter rotation!

I’ve been riding on and off for years and have been getting pretty decent (so I thought). I started watching some instructional videos like this channel and Tommie Bennett only to find out that I’m still not turning correctly. Rather than carving I’m still doing the sloppy tail slide type turn. I usually ride by myself so I haven’t had anyone to compare to until I stared watching some videos lol. Sucks I have to go back to the basics but glad I decided to start watching some videos to see what I’m doing wrong. Good video thanks

Ahh this is a perfect quick breakdown 🤙🏽

This is the best beginner turn explanation video I've come across!

This video is the best…made my day on the slope as a beginner….still trying to practice the first two steps, haven’t mastered the complete turns but man that clock analogy is amazing…it really works….thanks a lot and keep making such helpful content!!!!

Really don’t know what to say to thank you for all those valuable instructions. Simple, clear, concise explanation, even know it’s not easy at all to combine those skills together physically. However good enough for me trying to catch up little by little.

Great Videos. Your explanations helped a lot - I went from nothing to more or less enjoying riding in 2 days. There is one thing that I would add that I as a beginner struggle with. Its a speed - it's hard to understand when I'm going too fast and lose control and what should be normal speed? As soon as I go flat or point down the fall line it feels that the velocity is too high and it can cause panic. Maybe one day you can make a video that explains what to expect and how to handle it.

@Raiders1234

Such a horrible feeling. You start getting confident that you can make both turns at ease, then you pick up a little too much speed and catch an edge and have a bad wipe out and all that confidence goes out the window. The only thing I can suggest is bigger turn across the slope to keep from going to fast. Problem with that is, you become " that guy " that is in the better riders way all the time. Lol.

Hey Nathan, hope you're well, it's difficult to say exactly what would be causing that without seeing you ride. It's probably to do with not engaging your heel edge early enough in the turn, sounds like you're probably getting in the correct position towards the bottom of the turn, rather than right after the edge change whilst you're still going across the slope. If you get on the edge right away you can start managing the arc of the turn and managing the pressure build up throughout the turn, rather rather just getting there at the end and not being able to hold it, therefore skidding out. Anyways... I will be making a video on early edge changes later in the season too! 👌

Жыл бұрын

@@respond_code3 heyyy! Sorry for my late response! I thought I did answer it! Yes, I did manage to link turns. The trick is in doing a falling leaf with toe side edge down the mountain to get comfortable with your toes too. Just like you do with the heal edge. Once I did an entire ride down with the toe side only, I used the techniques from this video to link up my turns together. So, for me, the breakdown was like this, day 1-2, heal side, day 3 toe side and turns. But I mean the above trips happened in a span of 2 years for me. The issue with doing without coach is that on day 1, you kinda gotta experience the feelings too. Once you get a reality check, you know that half the videos you were watching were perhaps too advanced. And you can better judge what type of videos you look. And to not get information overload without forgetting what you are planning to improve, you might have to watch one task at a time. So, for me, these two videos helped massively with being able to link my turns, and go with beginner carvings.

Hi Malcolm, thanks so much for your videos. Once I’ve got this down, what’s the progression from here? Any videos about that? Thanks :)

That was an awesome detailed and simple and yet important video, this really worked for me.. Explaining the basic theory very simply helped a lot for me to understand actually because i think %50 of snowboarding is to “get the theory” mentally.. Other than that just trying to do what your coach is telling you while boarding can be confusing..

Hello Malcolm, I’ve been following your videos over the last few months. I really like those videos providing details for making turns for beginner’s level and steps to learn carving turns. I would like to ask if you can make a video on how to overcome the fear of acceleration (when your board started to face the fall line and gain speed while your board travelling along the fall line) when you change your edge from one side to the other. Because the fear of acceleration makes me scare and I always lean back (bad posture) towards the tail of my board which makes it more difficult to make my turn or fall down sometimes (especially on more steeper slope). Thank you.

@K0xm4N

Maybe you will be interested how other people are handling that. For myself I also have that fear. However, it's much lower now. What helped me was riding on mellow slope and trying to be in the fall line for couple of seconds and then, turn. I was repeating this exercise and I was longer in the fall line. The more time I did that I was feeling more comfortable in that position and speed.

Ugh. I'm going to die on my next snowboarding trip in 3 weeks. My first was last year in Colorado. I found a KZread video where he showed how he pulled his toes up to twist the board. That worked for heel side. I basically spent those few days falling leaf down the mountain LOL. I think I was afraid to fall again because day 1 I broke my ass on ice and I was in pretty bad pain. But sucked it up and kept riding. On the last day I ended up on my toe edge (by accident) in a very flat area. Went to get on my heel side and immediately caught a edge. I'll be in bigsky Montana in a few weeks. Hopefully this video makes it click and I can figure out toe side. This way I can actually say I'm snowboarding once I can link turns. I love your one video about imagining shins as levers. But I think this one might work better. Oh yeah I had a question. I knew I was leaving a comment for a reason. I notice your board goes flat. I thought we always need to stay on a edge? If it's flat the board will do whatever it wants and that's how you catch a edge. I guess we need to go flat for a split second to get from heel to toe. But I feel like you're casually cruising flat like eh, no worries. Fingers crossed for nothing broken this trip. I couldn't sit for a month after my first one.

@malcolmmoore

8 ай бұрын

Simple answer is more edge. By having more of an edge angle you will have the board grip in the snow. However you may already have quite a high edge angle and it is still skidding, a few things could cause this, bad posture, or inefficient or even wrong movements at the edge change. I would give this video a watch: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJeFp6-hfKzactI.html

What is the key in not catching the edge when shifting heel to toe and vice versa?

Hey Malcolm! I know I keep posting questions and whatnot, but I love your videos and cannot stop watching them haha. Regarding the transition from the toe edge diagonal side slip to straightening the board down the fall-line...that was a major issue I had last season. Whenever I would try to do that transition I would catch my heel edge and break my ass lol. After watching a bunch of your videos I think my issue was the fact that I was attempting an edge change too early; the nose of my board was not aligned with the imaginary direction arrow you have made a video about. Does this sound plausible to you? Does my assumption make sense? Or maybe I just suck haha...

@malcolmmoore

8 ай бұрын

Yeah that makes sense, basically it's all about crossing your centre of mass over the board at the edge change. In this beginner video that happens very slowly hence why the edge change happens in the fall line. Ideally then you do want to speed up these movements and make the edge change before the fall line though, like in my early edge change video. Whilst the movements are lead by the lower body you do need to make sure the upper body is properly aligned though, I've actually just been editing a video about this that I filmed at the end of last season that I'll release in November that talks about this. It'll be called the 'flag pole drill' but essentially it's not really too dissimilar to a much older video I have about 'opening and closing the door'.

For carving which bindings angles? +12 - 12 or + 15 -15 ?

Hi Malcolm, please can I request a short vid tutorial? It's about how to turn almost "on the spot", but from a stationary start. The scenario is you rejoin your group of mates who are sitting waiting for your ass, and you arrive toe side. You want to sit and join them but you're already at their level on the slope, you've stopped on your toes and you don't want to do a big turn and end up yards below them, and you don't want to jump the board round 180, just swivel on the spot almost. I see guys doing this all the time and it's driving me nuts. Is it just a strong differential on the feet like front foot toes up and the other toes down? I always feel I'm gonna catch an edge trying it (and have done so plenty, of course right in front of the mates!). Thanks. Same would apply for wanting to swivel round from heel onto toes without losing any height, e.g. to help a kid from below them. Thanks!

Is there much difference with using the feet to steer and turning our/bringing knee in to turn? Hope that makes sense

"Feet" can man a lot of things, but could be interpreted as using your ankle to lift/push the toes or heel. That is more for fine tuning and will make your shins/calves tired real quick if it's your main movement when initiating a turn. Try leaning your shins against the boots and calves against the highbacks (another way of saying use the levers).

I am in the same position! I started with lessons and then on my 3rd day I hit up a resort (easiest were blues) and I did not have a fun time. Found myself having to constantly wip the board around just to go slow and/or braking heavy on heel side

Hey Malcom, love the videos. I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old, do you think they are old enough to learn to snowboard or should they learn to ski first? Any experience teaching the very little ones? Thanks!

You can teach them to snowboard from that age, and if you get proper kids boards that will help, but in all honestly it is much easier teaching kids skiing. The progression will be quicker and they will take less falls. So really it's up to you, but for ease I would say skiing, my child is too young right now, but he will start on skiing.

@@malcolmmoore I'll take your advice and get them on skiis first, then switch them over to a board when they hit 8 or 9.

Lower means slower, stand up straight means accelerate...there, now it rhymes :)

"Stand up to make the board flat." Are there times when i might not wanna do this? Are there other ways to make the board flat? Thanks for the video!

This video is showing each step of the turn. In a normal turn all these steps are there, but you wouldn't want to hold this flat base position, and ideally it happens before the fall line. The idea is if you can break them all down and show each stage, your advanced turns will be better, not necessarily to turn like this in general!

Hi Malcolm, I’m preparing for the season and have a question for you. How sharp do you make the board edges? How do you check it’s sharp enough? Also, what base/side edge bevels do you set? Thank you!

Honestly I'm pretty lazy, I drop it into a ski shop for a wax every couple of weeks and a full service about every 6 weeks. I'm not exactly sure what they tune it at, but it definitely has a slight bevel!

@@malcolmmoore Thank you, it seems to be not so important if your technique is good. Maybe I missed it, but do you have a video about how to ride steep (red, black) slopes without making stops after every turn (because it’s fast)? Some people just ride down the hill very fast and I can’t understand how. If there’s no such video, I think it would be very purposeful!
