Love your way to explain, your technic, your skills, your sense of humour, your love for the natur and your professionnel eye for the mistakes of your students and the way your explain them and make them progress! Not to forget your beautifull english "accent", your dog and your good vibes. It's such a gift to have access to your videos, thanks! Looking forward to get you once as teacher in real 🤩!

[@raja4448]

I am on a constant hunt to find good content on snowboarding. Happened to stumble upon your videos and they are absolutely wonderful! Love the topics you choose. Weight distribution is a concept hard to wrap our minds around. Thanks for dedicating a video just for this! Kudos for demonstration + simultaneous talking: That's got to be challenging and draining, lot of respect for your teaching style! Keep up the good work! I started putting more weight on back foot on bumpy terrain from intuition and finishing turns with pressure on back foot on tight carve turns. Watching you meticulously explain the concepts gives a perfect closure to intuitive thoughts!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, appreciate the kind words, I'm actually going to cover this subject again this season, and link it better into knee steering, as it can be confusing to grasp all the different movements, but I believe I now have a better way of explaining it all as one!

[@TheBaaLambChampion]

Thank you for your videos! This was my first season, and towards the end I really started getting it and I wouldn't be where I was during my last few riding sessions if it wasn't for your guidance. You really need to get a feeling for it yourself when learning something like snowboarding, as there are many nuances like different micro-movements - it's really not easy to put into words and explain, but your content has been absolutely instrumental in understanding what I'm supposed to be going for. The season is over here, but I am really forward to getting back on the board!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, thanks Daniel, roll on next winter!

[@slowzhu]

Thanks Malcolm, this video is so informative. I feel my back leg has a lot of power, so when I do S turn, always full stop on the heel, and slide down extra distance on my toe before I turn the board head straight.

[@davidhuynh1870]

I just want to say. Thanks for the great insight for riding steeper terrain. I've been riding for like 10 years and your theory really helps. Especially for variable terrain.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, I appreciate it 🙌

[@Sandboarder0]

Love the tutorials, I've grown a lot over this season because of them! I have also even started helping my friends out with learning snowboarding, I was wondering, could you do a video explaining the difference in levels of training certificates, how to go about getting them, and any cool tips you have on acquiring them? I'd love to spend my winter seasons teaching people this awesome sport!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, I appreciate the support! So I'm qualified through BASI which is the british system, although you take all your exams in the mountains in Europe. Most countries in europe all have a qualification and they all aligned at a certain level, but some systems don't go as high as others. Simply put, BASI has 4 levels. Level 1 will allow you to teach at indoor snow domes. Level 2 will allow you to teach in Canada, the US, and some eastern European countries such as Bulgaria. These countries have a lower requirement for instructors but that generally means you make less money working as one too. Most of europe requires you to have your ISIA stamp, which is something you get at BASI level 3. And then france is renowned for being the only place where you need a full diploma to teach, an ISTD stamp, which is what you get with a BASI level 4. This is what I have. I've also done alot of training in the NZSIA system and alot of my teaching in these videos come from that system as I find it is one of the best at explaining things clearly. It is important to have a look at what requirements the country you want to teach in needs. For instance even if you achieved the highest level in the Canadian system, you would still never be able to teach in France.

Yeah at a closed resort in France, I have to hike up every run i do this winter. The school kids use one T-Bar (that I cross over in this video) once a week, so it gets groomed once a week before that! That's it, I would definitely take a few more people if it meant I could take a lift!

Took one run and front foot started cramping…came back to my car, KZbin searched, and started watching this video, will focus on shifting weight from front to back and understand that distribution of pressure varies at times as well; note, I may be slightly dehydrated (have had only around 500ml upon wake up) but I did make sure to eat beforehand and have my coffee plus active warmup.

[@bobby1kenobi34]

Again really cool and useful video, Malcolm! As I progressed a lot with the last season I was wondering about the pressure on the legs during the carving and riding fresh pow, so I found this video absolutely brilliant and well explained. So like this I will practice this more with the next winter (possibly I'm doing it automatically) or I'm leaning more on the toe and heel engaging more the edges like this (something that I noticed later on some photos). 2 questions: 1. Are you using the binding forward lean (I found this with my last season really useful and making the carving more technical) and do you put more lean on the back foot or no? and 2. What action camera (model) you were using for this video (GoPro or Insta360) to hide the stick?

[@Maggie-mj7kg]

It's amazing video. Thanks for solving my problem😁

Malcolm, can you do a vid on gear? Specifically the gear to keep warm and comfortable? Different shells as an example (shells vs shells with 2nd layer built in etc), under gear /wear etc?

[@AaronBegley]

Thank you! Your videos have been super helpful. I'm wondering if you can recommend some exercises we can do at home to help develop these weight shifting patterns into muscle memory.

[@luiscastagna4944]

Great content, Malcolm. I’m trying to apply the techniques you are teaching every time I go on the mountain (unfortunately not so offen). I came from a surfing base and because of this I instinctively twist the upper body towards the front what causes the board to skid during turns, especially heel side. I guess I must put more pressure over the edge and lean more the board to correct that and distribute better the weight as you just taught. All the best!

[@malcolmmoore]

As you improve and get better edge control you will likely find the surf style comes back in to help, riding with a more open stance and a surf style can be effective, but you'll need to develop good edge control first!

[@breathermachine]

I've learned that putting a lot of weight on my front leg during the initiation of the turn has helped me in two major ways: 1. Knee steering becomes much more effective, and I can make really tight turns that are essential when riding the steeps. 2. My body becomes more perpendicular with the slope, the slope starts to look less steep and is a big confidence booster.

[@tobiaslollesgaard7389]

its just like riding a bike fast, to anisiate a fast turn you put the wait on the front, and then when you are turning you can go back to neutral.

Yup, i just kept planting by nose in the heavy powder i had last time, i can't even count how many times i fell :p I found it really hard to find the right front foot pressure to be able to turn in powder, but hey, i guess practice makes perfect!

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah it takes a while to learn, and often theres isn't always powder available to practice in! But practicing carving on piste will really help with riding pow, just because it gets you used to always riding the length of your board, nose to tail, which in powder will translate to getting the most out of the surface area of your board! 👍

[@catc8876]

Do you have any tips for teaching little kids? I have a 6 and 3 year old and they started a little bit last season. This season is their first full season. Could you recommend things to work on with them that will help them figure out what they need to do with their bodies? Thanks so much! Your videos have been SO educational!!! My riding has improved tremendously because of them.

[@malcolmmoore]

Hey there, so it can take a little longer with kids and theres no point bogging them down with technical descriptions! Start on a nice slope where it flattens out at the bottom so they won't end up going crazy fast if they straight line the whole thing! Start with just pushing them so they get the idea of sliding. Then they and get them to make J turns onto their heel edge, bending their knees as though they are sitting down. I've found kids start to get the heel edge pretty quickly. Once they are starting to get it you can start on bigger slopes heel edge side slipping, and traversing left and right across the slope. Next step it to try it on the toe edge which kids tend to be much worse at. I use the analogy of putting toothpaste tubes in the front of their boots and they need to squeeze it all out, this gets them to push their shins into their boots. However kids of often so floppy that it doesn't always work! If you're able to ride next to them and hold their hands this if often just the best way. I have also used hula hoops in the past to save my back whilst doing this and to create some distance between myself and them. If you have any cones or can draw sonethibg in the snow visual aids often work great for kids, like stop here in this circle etc. Finally equipment makes a huge difference, the kid specific snowboards these days are really good. I've mostly had experience with the burton ones but I know other brands make them too. Burton also do this bar that attaches to the board for really young kids to hold on to. Hope that helps!

The part I struggle with is keeping from naturally leaning aft when going down hill (since instinct is to keep my head and shoulders upright) leading to catching an edge and falling really violently

Hi Malcolm, this is something I've been working on the past couple of weeks and this is incredibly helpful. You may have answered this in your video, but basically the pressure on the front foot at the initiation of the turn is what makes the board start turning? If I were to want to ride on heel edge but straight with the fall line, I wouldn't be putting any pressure on the front foot? Hopefully this makes sense.

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah thats correct, the fore pressure is basically to help initiate the edge change!

Great video. Explains it really well. I find though that on the heel to toe side turn transition I’m skidding the back edge out before the edge change which slows the turn down and sometimes makes it a bit sketchy and edgy.

I realise this is from a year ago but if you ever end up making more videos about "knee turns" the angle when you go into the "demonstration" part of the video is great for showing that. I find a lot of the time the videos show the person from the side/from a distance and the knee movement isn't as clear as looking straight down at it.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3yqqXZoiteqd7M This one is more aggressive, it goes into retraction turns. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zQeaGdlNGbbZY This one talks about the benefits of a more open stance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX3TpoKbpJyXm9E This one is specifically on banked slalom but this requires alot more techniques. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3u2Z5x5hJWej9E This one is for riding hard in rough terrain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZDHpol4prh1jq8 And this one is for down unweighted turns which is what I'm doing in the clip you pointed out 👍 Plus if you go back further I have some more on carving, and using your back foot to drive more power through the end of the turn.

Hey Malcolm, can you use the same powder technique on the piste? If not, why? And what is your school of snowboarding: CASI, ISIA, etc? Thanks in advance!

[@malcolmmoore]

I would adjust the technique for powder or piste, basically on piste you can reap the benefits of using fore movement to create tight turns. If you want to make tight turna in steep powder you need to work the down unweighted movement more, because too much for movement will just sink the nose. I'm qualified to the highest level, which at level 3 gave me my ISIA stamp, and now at level 4, I also have my ISTD stamp. I've also trained alot in the NZSIA system. I've done a little CASI stuff but that was 10 years ago now!
