I was just working on my carving the other day and only now realise that I do exactly that same mistake as you point out in the beginning trying to touch the snow and often lose balance on heel side carves. Loving the grab cues that will guide me to stack the weight on the right place next time. Can't wait to try it out! Brilliant as always Malcolm.

At 6:55, love that you left that slide in there, haha. Happens to everyone. I've only managed to "bounce" out of a carve a few times in my life so far, where I actually popped off the ground at the end of a turn, but it's such a fun feeling, I'm gonna keep trying to make it work reliably for me. Personally, I ride with positive angles because I find it a lot more comfortable; and I think I'm so used to it that even riding in my normal goofy stance, but with a negative angle on the back foot, makes my foot hurt after a few runs. Probably gonna have to correct that, if I want more practice in riding switch 😆
@78danhughes Жыл бұрын
The "bounce" you've experienced happens when you do down unweighted turns, whether carving or doing advanced turns, say on uneven terrain. It allows for the high board angle during the apex of the turn when your legs are extended, creating a ton of power to pop out of the turn/carve as you flex and unweight into the next turn. Easier said than done though! When you nail it, it's like a eureka moment.

@teacherguy508410 ай бұрын
Something a clinician showed me over 20 years ago has helped my heelside carving over the years with a weak duck stance (I ride a lot of switch while teaching to give students a correct visual in demos). If you stay more aligned to the board (shoulders over the feet) on heelside carves, and put your back hand near/behind your butt as if you were about to put it in your back pocket, this keeps your arm's weight over(inside relative to the turn) the back foot, leading to less of a tendency to wash out the back end. Compared to opening your shoulders, which brings your back shoulder more toward the toe edge and must be counteracted by bringing your front shoulder closer to the snow on the inside of the turn, this allows a more aligned stance so maintains easier flexion and extension to deal with surface irregularities, key on heelside due to the lack of significant ankle joint use. The only downside of this is that you have to be sure of what's around you, as you don't have as much view to the heelside, unless your neck has the flexibility of an owl's.

Malcolm, you have no idea how much this video helps me. I recall doing fore-aft movements across the turns because I felt much more in control of my edges while shifting the weight back during the turns, because I mimick a slight popat the end of a curve to unload the board just before the edge change because I try to avoid making the board stay flat as much as possible. I do that mostly because I'm afraid of how the board might behave when catching more speed so I end up doing something that resembles dolphin turns except I never leave the ground because my fat ass keeps me grounded lmao. Also my board is rather wide and doing so gives me room to shift my weight inside the new curve during the edge change. Perhaps I should find a stiffer board but I'm not sure if it's wise to ride something different while still learning. I would have loved something like the Dada you had, but I ended up picking a twinpig because, beside being cheaper at the time, I thought it was punishing enough to make me pick good habits from the get go and work on technique and posture. Speaking of which, I probably should have somebody film me but I might be bending forward a lot while trying to touch the snow, and I might have realized that when I lost control of my board it was because my center of mass, while being bent instead of laying low, was much more eccentric than it should have for the speed I was going at. I'm looking forward to my next trip to try and correct my mistakes, thanks as always for your videos, they are always tremendously helpful.

@7:07 i'd suggest adding the importance of the 'building of torsional-flex-preload' ( torsionally twist, as you call it )that stores energy from the tip of the (rear) edges while weighted to the rear in the end of a turn, as a process to setup an edge change and a weight shifting forward, to help 'flip' you to the transition to the opposite (nose) edge it is to say the harder you load up the back foot while on edge, the more pop comes from the tail releasing its edge during an edge change and you can use that Fyi, if boot drag is an issue then you are limited, period.

Also I do find that only quite few „youtube instructors“ are able to explain the techniques so precisely and simply as you do! Anyways, I am still struggling to carve at higher speeds on my toe edge. I do wash out, even while applying pressure on my back foot. At the same speed I don’t have these problems on my heel edge. I’am pretty helpless and don’t know how to solve that problem. I also seeked help from an instructor which told me to apply more pressure on my front foot. That helped a little but I still wash out… Maybe you have an idea? Appreciate you time and work, keep up the good work!!! Regards Pete

Hey Pete, many thanks for the nice comment and glad you're enjoying the video. Ultimately without seeing you ride it is hard to diagnose what is causing you to wash out, and therefore my best tips are really just the ones in this video! It might be worth carving at slower speeds, making sure you are really leaving a pencil thin line through the entire turn, and then as you increase speed or gradient of slope, see what part of the turn washes out first. After the edge change, or closer to the end of the turn, and this will help you understand what is going on.

@Snowmoparaboarder11 ай бұрын
Hi Malcolm, I'm going to challenge you to rethink your technique here. Having your shoulders more open at the beginning of the heel side turn helps create twist in the board over the lead foot to initiate the turn. That's good. Holding that body position has an unwanted effect at the finish of the heel side turn. Just like you want the edge angle steeper over the lead foot and more pressure over the lead foot to enter a turn, you want the opposite to finish the turn. You want more pressure and more edge angle over the rear foot by twisting the board in the opposite direction than holding your shoulders open on the heel side turn would allow. That's why you're trying to tuck your back knee to combat those forces which also moves your center of mass away from the rear foot and reduces range of motion. You also have a tendency to extend through the finish of the turn when the forces are building which would cause you to chatter out on steeper terrain or if trying to complete your turns across the fall line on harder snow. Think about torsional steering with slightly more edge angle and the center of mass slightly towards the lead foot to initiate turns on both edges. Your center of mass should be between your feet in the middle of the turn with no torsional twist. And then to finish the turn, you should have more edge angle over the rear foot and more pressure over the rear foot by having your center of mass move slightly towards the rear foot to complete turns and then there is a diagonal movement from the rear foot to the lead foot at transition to initiate the next turn. Try to make your extension movements more lateral and less vertical to maintain even pressure on the edge and use the rebound in that way rather than losing contact with the snow. Try completing some dynamic carved turns on steeper terrain while controlling your speed through turn shape without skidding by completing the turns across the fall line and don't allow the rear of the board to chatter out. If you can do this while tucking your knee and with dramatic vertical rises of the center of mass, I will be very surprised. A mentor once told me, I can't have an opinion until I stop tucking my knee. It took me a long time but I have finally unlocked the true secrets of carving. Would love to ride with you sometime. I think I could change your whole understanding of snowboarding. Think about a quiet and disciplined upper body with a stable center of mass and an active lower body that steers more than the upper body. You oftentimes show a dramatic upper body initiation to your turns rather than letting the movements happen from the feet up. Just a suggestion bro. I hope you have a great season.
@tayloranderson838611 ай бұрын
You nailed it. The main thing I see is the opposite timing that one would desire if their goal is to maintain consistent pressure on the snowboard throughout the turn. Unfortunately, nobody talks about being most retracted at edge change on KZbin, so there are no videos that I can tag for reference. Maybe somebody should change that? 😂 And yes, the stance is massively effecting the back knee tuck. It’s also preventing the natural squat position required to get low at edge change in addition to blocking range of motion aft to finish the turn. Ankles and toes and very powerful, and work best when in alignment with the knee and hip; which is impossible with a stance that isn’t mirrored. I too would invite Malcolm to change his perspective and movement patterns. Down-unweighting is phenomenal and should be talked about more online. It’s just so soft and flowy and everyone should try it. ❤
@jaimepardo11 ай бұрын
I thought you were supposed to tuck the back knee when carving with posi/posi angles and feet steering was more when riding with duck angles to twist the board torsionally? Carving boards like Malcom’s Stranda tend to be torsionally very stiff to keep them super damp and increase edge hold when executing hard fast carves. So foot steering with torsional twist isn’t optimal in this scenario. Double posi angles enables a body position that can maximise hip movement over the board & fowards/backwards movement necessary to steer torsionally stiff carving boards... check out the Just a Ride channel that explains the difference in techniques when carving posi/posi to duck feet (feet steering quiet upper body) & why tucking the back knee when carving in posi/posi is desirable. Malcom name checks Lars at Justaride at the end of his video so that’s possibly why he’s experimenting with tucking the back knee. Also the Korua shapes guys have some great carving videos on their channel in their yearning for turning series- they’re all tucking the back knee & rocking posi/posi for carving - they don’t have a super quiet upper body and they come from a pro race background. I could of course have completely misunderstood what you were saying though so apologies in advance if I’ve misunderstood your point 😅😂
@Snowmoparaboarder11 ай бұрын
He is riding a duck stance. Not positive, positive angles. The movement patterns on race boards with posi posi angles is much different. If you look closely, you can see he twists the board giving much more edge angle at the finish of his toe side turns and has much more pressure over the rear foot. He does the exact opposite at the finish of his heel side turns because he is tucking his knee and has an open body position. Because of this, he can achieve a much more effective finish to his toe side than his heel side. This is one of the most common movement patterns and obstacles to a more effective heel side finish. Sometimes called the "soft rear foot". A rider should allow the lower body to rotate more than the upper body while shifting the center of mass aft without tucking the knee during the completion phase of the heel side turn to achieve more edge angle and pressure over the rear foot to finish the turn. Vertical changes of the center of mass infer a lack of consistent edge pressure. Extending late through the finish of the heel side turn increases pressure and causes chattering and makes the toe side initiation late.

Im hoping to experiment with a more posi posi stance at my next opportunity to see if this remedys the issue. Cant wait to see a Mal and Lars Colab 😂

You always time the videos perfectly for when they're needed! I quick question about posture/body position. Should this more open approach be ones standard on the slopes, or should the "shoulders stacked over board" kind of position be preffered in most situations still? What about in icy / steep terrain, where it is difficult to achieve grip? And thank you so much for all of the free resources you put out! I am contribute a lot of my progress last year to your teaching, and I can't wait to get going this year :) Best regards

While on the frontside carve, do you try to push in with your toes or is it your shin that’s doing all the work? For me it’s mostly the shin pressing against the boot/binding but that sometimes despite 8/10 boots Leads to my boot flexing more than I want. Is a stiffer boot the solution or should I use some other techniques?
@malcolmmoore Жыл бұрын
Honestly this is a question I've asked alot of other riders and instructors and had mixed responses. For me I think you really need to mostly feel your weight in your shins, however you are obviously still standing on the balls of your feet as well, but the problem with pushing down into your toes is that you can end up opening up your ankle joint when we are in fact trying to close it. If your boots aren't very stiff this can however lead to, like you say, flexing too much. I've had the same issue to be honest, and stiff boots always get soft pretty quick, so I have found myself not flexing to my maximum, and using pressure on the balls of my feet more so than thought my shins. I think in an ideal world the boots would have enough response that they don't collapse under your weight! Sorry for the not very clear answer!

When I really started to explore full power squating on edge to dig the deepest trench I could, I would try to power out. Thinking at extension I would get more power. Now with a few seasons on.. I find i get way more power and control progressively squatting deeper through turn initiation and peak arc, at that point you then have a mariad of options to flow into.

What boots do you wear? I find my 32 tm2 with a 7 flex to be too soft for carving after breaking them in - my big toe gets strained so much it wants to fall off. And the boa system isn’t helping, the top goes loose after every hard charge or carve. (I ride +18 -9 as well 😃) Great video!

Very nice video Malcolm! I'm a lightweight, 62 kg, with size 42 EU boots. Fairly good rider. I have a very soft true twin 152 cm board (Lib tech skatebanana) and a stiff directional 152 cm board (Tur Buteo), that I got for this season. Too the next season I'm looking for a board between those too, and the Stranda Biru caught my eye. To my question, do you think the Biru 154 cm is too large for me? Should I wait for the release of the shorter variant? I'm do not want a stiff board, as I have my Buteo for that, I want something in between my current boards.

Awesome video Malcom, I was struggling to understand what people mean when they say camber profile allows you to load the board through the turn, and you have just explained it clearly. Another thing I am struggling to understand, and you touched on it a little bit in this video, is the role of the front and back foot which ultimately influence if you ride regular or goofy. I am a right footed person and usually it should mean I should ride regular, but when I tried both styles I found riding goofy was much more comfortable for me. The issue is I feel that I am missing out on something when I have my dominant foot on the front of the board, unlike most people where they have it at the back (i think). Should I force myself to ride regular as it might enhance my riding on the long run?
@JukkaliMx Жыл бұрын
As a left-handed, right foot dominant person, who rides goofy, I say do whatever you feel most comfortable in. In snowboarding, there's the theory of what works, and then there's what works for an individual rider. If having your right foot in front is what works best for you, then you're goofy. Don't overthink it.
