Malcolm, you're the best instructor on YT, that's for sure. There is really substance to what you sell over here. I switched from skis last year (had a few years break and decided to hop on a board after this time), I've been progressing and i see myself coming back to some of your older videos I've seen earlier and starting to really understand them as i progress with my board skills. The way you explain everything is consistent and bs free. Keep em coming, thank you very much good sir!

@suz4359 one of your original comments, basically telling me how useless I am, you did also offer help. So I asked what that might me, but it seems that you could barely elaborate and you would rather just spend your time continuing to come at me across various different comments. When people do criticise I would say I pretty much always try to enter into discussion with them, as you can see in one other thread that you've jumped upon. To be honest though I don't need to try this with you anymore, your attitude is really terrible, regardless of what you think of me just read back your comments and look at how petty you sound. Just know, and I'm sure of this, there's better and more productive ways to spend your time rather than trolling me. I wish you the best.

Thanks for all your videos Malcolm, I'm heading to the slopes soon and am looking forward to using all the tips you give. Which leads me to a suggestion for a video... Tips for the first day back on the slopes after a break from snowboarding. Thanks and keep up the great content 👍

Great video Malcolm! Yes please make a video of all the different kinds of snow we can encounter, and things like how it is impacted by the direction the piste is facing and the time of day, etc. I think this would help tons of people.

Love your videos, been watching all of then twice to get ready for an upcoming trip to Austria - soo good! Thank you for that. If you could do a short bit on tuning edges, detuning how/when/where that would be amazing, how do you keep your snowboard "in shape". It seems there is as many ways to do it as there is riders - cheers

Malcolm is the GOAT in snowboard coaching. I have watched just a recent video talking about effectively changing edges on yesterday and my ride today became day and night compares to before. A great thank you sent from Canada

Thank you soooo much for these vids. You explain them sooo perfectly to address the exact issues some of us have with boarding. Lol I remember my first few times riding, my legs got soooo fatigued from lifting my toes and riding down the mountain. 😅🤣

I tried snowboarding on an indoor place near my town, it was frustrating but also good and challenging!!! I got the feeling the instructors didn’t teach me much and thennnn I came across your channel and holy moly there’s so much deepness in snowboarding and so much content to learn from!! Now I scheduled a second session at the indoor and hopefully I will have 3 days at Andorra as my first official “season” !!! I’m trying to digest as much as I can for the basics and you channel has been a huge help to me!!! Thanks for doing this all for free to us appreciate and I would love to have a class with you some day !!🎉

Got back on the board last season after 15years. & I kept getting that front shin cramp wasn't til my last day I started doing this more by sitting into the highback more. You are gentleman & a scholar my good sir!! Thanks for clearing up stuff for beginners

Thanks Malcolm! Nice break down!

Thanks! Happy Holidays!!!

Best instructor ever, didn't take any lessons just ripped greens on my first day practicing your methods and staying away from counter rotating so not to catch an edge until I was ripping blue and blacks on day 3 and 4. I wish in the future you make some montage videos of your riding some deeper pow or whatever just too continue to love this channel.

It's really cool when I look at your videos and find that I actually do something which is correct, but I can't explain it as technical and as precise as you do. It really shows how much effort you put into making these videos and how much though you give before you actually state/describe a snowboard technique. I hope you keep posting such videos, because this is just "free money". Others charge good fees for their lessons which are not nearly as "academical" as yours. Cheers mate! :D

I get to ride snow about 1 week every 2 years. I am just back from my latest trip, and from watching your videos in the weeks leading up to my trip I have improved phenomenally. I still ride "weird" as I always have (low squatted style) , but I rode better in the past week than I ever had previously. You are a damn fine instructor.

I've watched many of your videos and they're just so great ! Never been snowboarding before but I already feel like an expert 🤣Nah, seriously I can't wait to get on a board for the first time next February and avoid beginner mistakes thanks to you and have the time of my life 😁

Awesome video Malcolm. This really helps!

I always thought it was just me having that terrible pain in my shins when doing toeside

been loving these videos. have started snowboarding again and decided that this is the year that i finally really get my feet underneath me and so far your videos have been invaulable. The one about the edge catching was particularly inspiring, as catching that edge and taking some nasty spills has been the hardest thing for me to get passed. I think some at home snowboarding exercises would really help out for the offseason, unless youve done that before. Would love to see the things you think would help

Thanks Malcom.

Yup, setting the high backs correctly is really important. But the technique that really helped me with good heel edge control was your "open the door" move. That torsional movement has given me much better grip and control. Using the knees, instead of the whole body, has allowed for faster transitions.

Yet again excellent advice that in all my many years riding I've never really given any thought too. I'm not even sure whether I am guilty of doing this or not but I do get sore big toes and often wondered why so I probably do lift my toes. I never really think about my high backs but I definitely will give them more thought when back on the mountain. Thanks Malcolm 😊

Great job explaining! Thanks.

This is excellent advice. I spent years, on slope, with aching leg muscles purely because my highbacks were never setup correctly, leaving me using toe lift to gain control.

At 1:04 you touch the snow with your back hand on your toe turn, back hand touching the snow is an easy way to figure out someone is initiating weight shift from edge to edge with their shoulders instead of hips. Try shifting weight with your hips instead, drier gloves and more stability :)

A small video request while I have you. Now, I don’t want you to freeze up there, but when demonstrating posture (particularly knee steering) it would be great to show it without your jacket. I think it would really help to show the hip movements.

Thanks for the videos. Topics like these don’t even cross my mind when riding, which can end up being a problem later on. Most of the time I don’t even think about it. I just shift my weight, lean, bend my knees, think about turning, and it just happens 🤷‍♂️ (not in that order tho).

Merry Christmas! Thanks Malcolm! your lectures are so informative. I just started the season here in California and having difficulty traversing long flat terrain to the next drop in. I found myself flexing the board where my front had traction and the rear would not. I assume it is posture and unbalanced stance. I felt like I would certainly hit the deck on the backside. Any advise you could offer would be very thankful. ride in control and shred that mountain! Be well!

Malcom Moore operating on a different level once again.

Hi Malcom, great videos! The best in KZread! Would your consider doing a Video about how to ride Moguls 😬 I always struggle with Moguls, specially when they are frozen or very hard and deep.

Hey Malcolm, thank you so much for this video! i watched this before my trip and it’s helped improve my riding so much! One of the things I’ve noticed it helped me out the most with is when I bomb it down the mountain. Before this video, when I bomb it down the mountain, I would rely too much on lifting my toes when going on my heel edge, causing my body to get tired and sometimes even lock up which prevents me from changing edges. Now after trying your techniques, I’ve been able to go down with a lot more confidence and with a lot more grip, being able to even change edges confidently between my heel side, flat base and toe side when bombing it down! Since you released a video regarding lifting toes on the heel side, would it be possible to do a related video regarding pressing your toes down when going on the toe side? I feel like I might be doing the equivalent here but on the toe side, which is where I press down really hard on my toes to get on my toe side before being able to feel my shin press on the front side of my boot. Even when I do feel my shin press on my boot, there is still a lot of weight on my toes/balls of my feet. This tires my feet out due to the pressure on my toes when going toe side. Your videos are the best on KZread and your explanations are top notch. Would love a video covering this if possible!

Great analysis! That's exactly right. Carving = edging without pivot. Ie the back foot follows the same path as the front foot. It's fun to do, just gets a little scary fast sometimes :)

What a great vidéo ! Thanks

Great video as usual! Any quick tips for going through trees without having to use the back foot as a rudder?

Great tips . Thankyou

Malcolm, I think you make the best teaching videos I've ever seen. If I would be around the resort that you're in I'd definitely take some lessons with you. There is one scenario that I always struggle and I'm not even sure how to describe it. I hope I'm clear enough so you can talk about it. I find it really hard to go in not really big runs with a cliff in one of the sides, you know, the typical road street that becomes a run during the snow season. The thing is that there are some of them that have a slope perpendicular to the direction of the path. So, they force you to go only on your hills or your toes. The thing is, that in that position you will catch some speed, and its really hard to change position because you will get the slope perpendicular to you, so, more speed. What's the best thing you can do in that scenario? I hope I'm clear enough and that is an issue that not only I have haha.

I completely agree! Don't rely on your shin muscles, they're not used to this amount of effort. Conversely, we shouldn't press our toes down when riding on our toe edge. I learned it over the years, the hard way, after feeling completely knackered after 2 days on the mountain. The edge pressure should come from the boots, legs and the whole body posture.

Nice video; a lot of the pull up idea comes from skiers who are trying temporarily to adjust the fore & aft inside the boot. However for snowboarding it is using only a small lever in the foot and we all know the ankle is a fast movement in the foot and only temporarily effect over the long term of board control. The longest lever each boarder has is the body though alignment and posture plus torsional twisting is also available. Many instructors put students in an isometrical locked down position though the wrong use of body parts. Your 100 precent correct I couldn't agree more, or Moore!

Big fan! As a beginning what i noticed is that we need to focus on bending the knees. I easily get carried away when i keep focusing on balance. For me the issue is when I'm in toe edge, without bending knees i try to do it with raising my ankle i get burned out pretty fast. Having that knee bend gives more room to balance the weight distributions.

Oh man, I've always been trying to raise my toes...never knew this...thanks!!!

IIl try concentrating on this next time I’m at alyeska. Greetings from the big AK!

Hey Malcolm, first I just wanted to say that I tried to learn how to snowboard over 10 years ago and I just couldn't pick up on it. I also couldn't pay for lessons at the time and I gave up. When Covid hit, I was bored and I so happened to stumble across your videos and decided to try snowboarding again using your teachings. Happy to say that I picked up on your techniques, and I am loving it and able to enjoy it now! I find in more mellow slopes that lifting my heels up when doing toe side turns helps me prevent catching my heel edge. Is this also not recommended or encouraged?

This is awesome information, I know I had mentioned this technique on another video recently. I guess from experience explaining when to and not to use this technique is easily over looked. I see why it should be considered an advanced technique and not be taught to someone just learning as well. I personally also modulate how much I lift my toes even between my forward foot and my back foot when I am using this technique. For example I might lift my front foot toes fall back on my highbacks and no longer be lifting my toes while other times I might be lifting toes on both feet while utilizing the highbacks as well. It is something I use situationally and definitely not all the time which I see would be hard for a beginner to understand. I find myself using it in mostly in the park or when racing down a run against friends and not really when I am just cruising or carving down a run.

That was great info Malcolm u know how I’m a fan of forward lean also I like to think of turning quicker is like driving a standard shift vehicle operation of both feet in harmony 👍

Hey ya no problem brother know your busy have a great holidays and merry Christmas

hi MM, nice one again. I would only point out that this might be a tricky one that does not fit all. I have missed a whole last year Saison due to ACL surgery ( finally ) and will not be ready for a this one properly unfortunately. The reason I am writing this is a in a course of my rehab I have recently noticed that I have a knee instability if I do not engage the tibialis manually ( most likely due to lack of neuro-training after surgery). Therefore I would propose you mention that the toes lifting should be engaged up to a level that they do not drop down from neutral possition, and muscles contracted further if needed ( as you suggested). This actually might help a lot of pees getting their joint stabilities and snow feeling better this way. Cheers and happy new Saison :)

Just got back into riding after an 8 year hiatus and your videos have really taken me to the next level. Probably a question you get asked a ton but what binding positions/ how much forward lean do you use? Thanks!
