[@regularnimnule9715]

I'm a newbie snowboarder having started at the ripe young age of 58. This video was enormously helpful as I have been eating some serious shit pies trying to get my basics sorted. Thank you Malcolm.

[@billymadison8574]

U srsly starting @ 58? Damn bro, you're braver then most. Kudos x2 👏

[@tradejournal]

Love this!

[@regularnimnule9715]

@@billymadison8574 Thank you Billy. Yeah, 58 and just turned 59 on Monday. I skateboarded quite a bit in the late 70's/early 80's so reckoned I might have SOME residual skills that would help me. Plus my kids have been egging me on to give it a go so what can a man do? :) :)

[@thedroid6462]

I'm 57 and have been snowboarding for round 25 years - I wouldn't like to be starting now! Good luck. Build those legs up quickly as they are the ultimate key - the stronger my legs the better I board. I skateboarded in the late 70s/early 80s but was never that good at it. If you stick with boarding then try and get into riding powder asap - for me it is the real reason to board and is very addictive - piste bashing is very boring by comparison and snow park and tricks are for the young!

[@eddiebang4311]

inspiring sir! going for the first time at the age of 44 this weekend.

[@mirandatobin911]

I learned snowboarding 20 years ago and never had any proper lessons and that really shows. Too many bad habits and technical faults, just watched a few of your videos and realised that I simply need to make these few changes. Thank you so much. Your videos are great . clear and easy to understand going skiing in two weeks time. Can’t wait put all those tutorial tips into practice. Thank you very much Malcolm

[@malcolmmoore]

You're welcome!! 🤗🤗

[@malcolmmoore]

You're welcome!! 🤗🤗

[@BoarderMike]

Never to late to learn, go back to my basics.

[@JeffGibbard]

Same for me. I'm 44, been riding since 22. I've learned more watching like 5 of your videos than riding for 20 years.

[@saveforth]

You just blew my mind, I try to go snowboarding every year and get beaten up by the ground catching edges, I genuinely think this will solve my problem and you’re a genius and I’ve not heard this advice anywhere else, thank you so much.

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, I hope it helps you when you're back out there on the snow!

[@BoarderMike]

I’m new to KZbin, but not to boarding. Want to learn not to fall, go back to my basics. @boardermike

[@num573]

You really hit the nail on the head when you discuss the direction your board is facing vs the direction you are moving, and how the closer those two things are (in other words the closer you are to carving) the earlier you can transition an edge without catching. Glad to see a video discussing that transition phase between full side slip skidded turns and carving !

[@TheGargalon]

I must have missed that in the video but oh my god my mind is blown. As a beginner I'm 90% of the time in breaking mode, which means the board is not aligned to the direction, then I try to make a turn (toes to heel), catch an edge and fall on my tail.

[@jessicaanthony3013]

​@@TheGargalonI feel the same, just went for my second time Saturday and started to catch on a little. Can't wait to try this

[@kathykaura7219]

From all the snowboarding vids I watched, this was the first one where I finally understood exactly what's going on when you ride. You're supposed to be riding ONLY on one edge of the board at any given time. You really cleared a lot of things up for me. 😅 So if I have a board and just lay it on my livingroom floor and practice staying "on-edge," front & back, I can get the feel of what it feels like on my legs and where they're touching the boots, no? I'm old (56) but I really want to learn snowboarding so I'm watching videos and mentally practicing going down the slopes before I go to my first lesson. 😊

[@malcolmmoore]

That's correct, however when trying it in your room, if you lean into an edge you'll fall over unless you have something to lean on, because you have no momentum when doing it in your room. You can balance without falling over, but only by moving yourself into bad posture. Best bet is to have something to lean against to mimick the idea of leaning into the turn.

[@JetsOnAdventure]

Watched a whole lot of your videos while waiting for 24-25 season to start. I went snowboarding twice last winter but know nothing about turning and carving. Now i’m going down on black diamonds, carving and hitting some jumps. I always tell my friends i learned so fast from youtube university.

[@transgender_aufklärung_de]

I had 4 different Trainers and not ONE ever told me this. Damn. I still would consider myself a beginner because I only ride like 3/4 times every year. And my curves suck, I am scared of speed and falling. But thanks sooo much bro you saved me because I was thinking about giving up snowboarding. But now I will keep doing it. 👍

[@cg5138]

You have a great way of simplifying the fundamentals. Trying to teach my son and wife, but so hard to describe to them what to do. This helps to a great degree. Thanks for your time.

20 years of snowboarding once a year for 5 days ...... lessons every time means a very large diversity of teaching methods . currently teaching my 9 year old daughter, when lessons are unavailable and your videos help a lot . catching an edge is the largest fear I have for my daughters learning curve.... nice and simple explanation. thank you

[@malcolmmoore]

Great I'm happy to help, enjoy!!

[@AegisRick]

It took an entire day of falling on icy snow, a bruised face, and many tears and snot. Just one day though. Magically, day 2 was pretty good. Haven't caught an edge since.

[@Natureismyhome770]

Going back to snowboarding after 10 years of pause, catching the edge was my biggest problem and I thought I'd would never learn how to avoid this and I remember how helpless I felt every time I fell. I still have to work out over this and many thanks Malcolm for this video and all the the others and the tips you are sharing ❤

[@malcolmmoore]

🙏

[@feyfiren]

your videos are incredible, i'm super impressed by how you've completely hidden the stem of the selfie stick and are able to control it perfectly for demonstrations and you barely have any cuts in your videos!! you are a gem!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏

[@Axewarriorz]

Loving the channel Malcom. Snowboarding is a part of my life and the year wouldn't be complete without a couple of trips to the mountains. At 65 I'm not beyond learning and find your tips to be clearly detailed and thus easy to transfer to the slopes. Last year I had major surgery for cancer and missed a year from life....I'm now getting that back. I took to the Italian alps last month and found my riding was totally different...I think I was over compensating due to my operation, I guess self preservation had kicked in. On the last day of my trip I found your channel and went over many of the problems I was experiencing. That last day was amazing. I was running at 50% and am so looking forward to getting my fitness and skill back to 100% with your help. Cheers.

[@BoarderMike]

Do a refresher course. @boardermike

[@Raiders1234]

Thanks you. Catching an edge is the single biggest reason I don't like to board. Of course I started in my early/mid 40's, so it hurts, but other than that, I love boarding.

[@alexandramercado4162]

This video is exactly what I needed to hear and see!! Your technique and teaching is incredible. 😮👏

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks so much 😊😊

[@BurtReynoldstash]

No one forgets the edge catches. Learning to snowboard on Sheffield dry slope. I caught my edge, flew through the air. Landed on my ass. I couldn’t sit down for months. Ouch. After catching one in Canada 🇨🇦 I was seeing stars & very glad to be wearing my helmet. I wouldn’t ride without by it. Great video as per. 🤙

[@kf1559]

@@malcolmmoore Hope so too. If not I'll hit the beach😀. Utterly bizarre. Good luck for success with your ace channel.

[@cappi10]

My personal rules that helped me as an intermediate a lot last week of boarding: 1. (Smoothly) throw your balance BEFORE moving your board. 2. It's better to over-balance (throwing your weight too far to the other side) than it is to under-balance. If you move your balance too far, it's relatively easy to correct it with your footwork. If you don't move your weight enough, it's a recipe for catching an edge. Specially in uneven terrain this was gold for me.

[@malcolmmoore]

Good tips!

[@nettewilson5926]

Huh?

[@lol109109]

Of all the snowboarding channels I've seen on youtube, you are BY FAR the best teacher / best at actually explaining concepts while showing them simultaneously. This video was a tremendous help to me. Liked and subbed. Thank you!

[@malcolmmoore]

Glad it helped!

[@ColombiMigal]

I had the pleasure to met you this week at Alpe d’Huez and I told you and I will say here as well. I had my first time doing snowboarding and with your videos I manage to go from barely standing up to able to go down to hard red one in 5 days. The way you explain things help us like a lot. Thank you

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome 🙌 so glad to hear the videos are helping people like yourself 👍

[@bigmanoncampus88]

This guy really explains things properly. You see so many seemingly experienced snowboarders bombing down runs thrashing the board around with no traverse - you can literally draw a straight line down the slope through their edge changes. It's a recipe for disaster for a beginner to try and copy those guys. Traverse and follow the nose is the way to go!

[@floriankaiser]

Hey Malcom we are beginner. And with youre video we can drive save and learn very important things to stay safety and comfortable. Thx so much for youre very good explanation. Sorry for my bad english, I am from germany. Greetz :)

[@malcolmmoore]

Danke!

[@zanetusken]

I've been a skier all my life. Tried snowboarding once like 20 years ago, I caught a lot of edges and ended up going down the hill on my ass because I couldn't stay on the board and ended up back on skis an hour later. I didn't really think about it but watching you ride I see you're carving pretty much the whole time. I must have taken for granted that I could lean forward and ride on the flat on my skis without anything bad happening except uncontrolled acceleration. This season I might get back on a board now that my son is learning. Thanks for this!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, good luck!

[@dangriffiths1392]

Best beginner video I have found... I fear it may be too late for my Mrs, but I'm gonna have her watch it!

[@malcolmmoore]

Hah, awesome Dan, best of luck to her!

[@Goffinho02]

An important thing is also to be sure having your boots tightened so that there is full reactivity when you balance your weight front and back. With boots just a little too long, your feet will likely have space to move inside your boots so you will have to insist more on your balancing than you should need. It could result in catching edge especially on straight slope where you need only small and quick balancing !! Nice video !

[@malcolmmoore]

Good tip!

[@markietje24]

This is exactly what I was doing wrong a few weeks ago and got me an annoying shoulder injury. Thanks for explaining so clear and I'll try and improve next year ;)

[@markietje24]

@Shane Belanger perhaps we should visit steeper slopes next time

[@noeuntae]

I just snowboarded for a week as of yesterday. The unforeseen shark bit my board and when it was over my new helmet was dented and my goggles had vanished into oblivion along with my desire to try the Advance level, again. Now, I know what I did wrong and in December, we just might try Advance, again. Thanks.

[@Rapt0r_]

I honestly appreciate this so much. I am 36, I started snowboarding at like 26, but stopped a few years after after a hard edge catch took me off my feet for a few days. Seeing this makes me wish I saw it back in January so I could have still given it a shot! Next year for sure!!!

[@Direitistaconservador]

Hey Malcom!!! Love Ur snowboarding!!! Today was my 1st day I have learn this lesson !!! Dint fall no more today!!! At the 3rd day if snow boarding and watch all of Ur videos I really helped me a lot!!! Thanks!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@jonskeee]

malcolm could probably explain quantum mechanics to a toddler and they would understand

[@DConstructiveCritic]

As a snowboard instructor at Squaw Valley, we used to detune our boards for park riding to minimize the chance a sharp edge can grab. In fact, one of my boards has completely rounded edges for spring park riding so theres almost no chance of catching edges on rails and boxes. Great video btw.

[@BoarderMike]

You haven’t found me yet! I’m @ BoarderMike you should have already learned this your 1st day.

Awesome happy to hear 😊🫶✌️

[@AntonSafonov]

Basically it can be summarized as: start learning carving ASAP. But explanation about the ride direction and position of the board is wonderful, will use when teaching. Thank you!

[@mr.kubson]

I discovered your channel a week ago and I have already watched most of your tutorials. I really like the way you are linking (well prepared) theory with the practice in a simple and enjoyable way. If I may have another suggestion for future topics to cover, it would be how to find the right stance width and binding angles. Keep on doing that great job mate!

[@jasonrutlidge342]

I got Malcolm to answer this. The distance between your bindings / feet / boots should be comfortable enough to not cause any discomfort, like over stretching ankle tendons... start with the reference points on your board and try different distances that feel comfortable. Too close however can reduce your balance as your will have to compensate for the closeness of your feet. Try different set ups that feel comfortable and does not affect your balance and turning.

[@yoramchmiel7417]

I went snowboarding for first time last weekend, took two lessons but watching your videos in last 3 weeks were so helpful and much better than any instruction given on the slopes. Thank you! It was a great fun thanks to that.

Just came back from 3 days of snowboarding and your videos were the Absolute best, giant thanks. I was a full beginner a few years ago not even being able to toe brake, came back this year and in the first day i was already doing turns and going onto blue trails, second day was about sending it into the Reds and gaining a lot of control over were i wanted to go and overall capability to do what i wanted. The third day was the best, started to really go fast, absolutely ripping the blues and moving way more fluently and naturally and even tried a black one which was a bit scetchy but made it to the end. Unfortunately had to leave but thanks to your videos this 3 days were the Absolute best way to start snowboarding. Definitely looking forward to go next year and Definitely watching your videos again. Absolute wonderfull content, thank you, love from Portugal 🇵🇹!

I've been watching snowboarding videos on KZbin for 2.5 months now to guide me in my learning journey. I've gotten something out of each of them, but this is otherworldly help. I never even considered that I was mostly skidding down the mountain rather than traversing with a clean line. I'm going for my 4th time ever this weekend and I am excited to put all the new knowledge to the test. Thanks!

[@dirtbikedevon6949]

Ever sence i watched this video last session still have not cought an edge sence just scares me going fast and remembering how bad it hurts to fall even if it don’t happen you know it can happen if you get lazy at all this guys videos is what did it for me dont give up its easy ones you understand it all

[@dairyairman]

Great video! I wish I'd seen this when I was first learning, because in those days I was an edge catching machine! Besides the excellent advice in this video, I've also learned from the school of hard knocks to keep a little more weight on the front foot than the back while turning. Weighting your back foot in a turn is the kiss of death and can easily lead to an edge catch or other disaster. Likewise while on flat slopes, it's good to bias your weight slightly forward to avoid edge catches.

[@davidlilley2742]

Last week was my first week of snowboarding. I went to Val Thorens. Watched your videos and they really helped me. Nevertheless I learned it the hard way, almost broke my shoulder the first day. But i kept going, I was on heavy painkillers the rest of the week. The last 3 days it was going so well, I felt like I was surfing on the slopes! Thanks Malcom, I had a great vacation and will be snowboarding a lot more in the future!

[@mvmcali6900]

You explanations are incredibly well worded and articulate. Thanks!

[@Ross_Fun_Boss]

Oh Malcolm, thank you so much! I just found why I am afraid of toe turns and catch edge in them, its just because I am skidding/stoping to reduce my speed just before starting the turn itself and that leads to exactly what you described - my board and body is going straight down the hill and at the same time I sometimes try to make toe turn… Just have to remember to go in traverse and not braking/skidding when starting a turn

[@andyk9414]

Thanks Rafael, I appreciate it 🙏

[@neuroleptic2563]

It's like you read my mind, I picked up on snowboarding this very season and I'm loving the feelings of it, it's got me totally catched up but as I'm learning, I'm also doing (less now, but still) the typical begginer mistakes that lead me to catch an edge and get a bruise or two the next day. I was wondering if you were going to do this video, and here it is!

[@AijazAnsari]

Malcolm: Came back here to thank you for this video. Turned 50 a couple of months ago. I took snowboarding classes 2 years ago, but only practiced twice before the pandemic. Today was my first day back. Yes, I sucked at the beginning, but I had 3 hours on the slopes, and I had a plan. Skate for an hour. J Turns with one foot strapped in. Side slips, Falling leaf, and then straight to C and S turns. It took me all 3 hours, but by the end I was linking my turns, and not falling. Best part: I could feel it in my feet: Could do minor adjustments on toe turns to apply just as much brake as I needed. Two things from this video made it click for me where even in-person teaching didn't help. 1. Posture. Posture. Posture. And: Change the edge when the board is moving in the direction of the edge. Once I got the feel, poof! No edge-catch shark. Bad news: I'm still too scared to stand-up to do up-unweighted turns. Good news: Torsional twist turns come naturally to me. :)

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, that's good to hear, thanks for sharing! 🙌

[@ChaseHub]

I haven't ridden in a few years and even though I'm very comfortable and can ride double black diamonds I still took something away from this video. It was a good refresher and, I got to feel like I've just warmed up, It's funny, like riding a bike, how you just get the muscle memory and can awaken it with videos like these.

Thank you! Going Saturday going to keep on watching more of your videos!

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Blake, enjoy today!

I think I spent more time trying to figure out where your selfie stick went or if it was a drone than listening to your advice!

I wish I had this video last year. I had to examine tons of content to observe everything you mentioned. My problem now is managing my speed without skidding so much. I always feel like I get going way too fast, and can't slow down by carving alone. Though this is mainly on blues.

Beautiful video man, very well put together and articulated. I've just recently gotten really into it and trying to learn a lot more to ride better. Parents bought me a board back when I was 18, and now I'm 34 lol, and just officially bought a solid board and decided to make it an actual hobby that I wanna get good at.

The “very sore tailbone” is truth. It’s been a week since I landed on mine from an edge and it’s still throbbing after bengay and massages. Granted riding and falling twice on it again didn’t help. Great vid

Dude this video was so informative earned my sub just started snowboarding was having trouble riding steep slopes and now I understand what I was doing wrong.

[@malcolmmoore]

Amazing 🤩🤩

Hey Malcolm, your videos have been very helpful in coming up-to-speed from the early beginning stage bridging to the early intermediate. Example: in theory, i knew well what to do and why, from your videos. In practice though, i was stuck at a particular point: during a toe to heel turn, i would over-rotate once on the heel edge to a point where i always had to come to a complete stop before finally transitioning back to a toe edge, for the next turn. Eventually I got an instructor who pointed out that after transitioning from toe to heel turn, i wrongly continued to keep my shoulder “open” and turned out of alignment with the board, causing me to keep on turning while on the heel edge (and over rotsting). Essentially I wasn’t “closing the door” early enough. That is all I the feedback I needed to fix what was broken and put it all together. The instructor commented how thereafter everything came really nicely together almost instantaneously - and that I know was largely because of your videos. So I hit the tip jar in your link for a small token of my appreciation. No longer frustrated and I wish I’d never get off the slope now. Thank you.

thanks! was looking for info so I could teach a friend how to snowboard, no idea how to properly explain this stuff myself!

[@patc2515]

This channel really deserves much more praise and subs. The time taken to examine things in a way that is more practical and productive is so underrated and helpful. I hope anyone watching these videos will realize how important it is to thumbs up and sub to the channel. Even if you don't watch it all the time, just do your part in helping a deserving channel grow. Malcolm really deserves the help. He can't get there without more ppl liking and subbing for him.

Excellent instruction video! Even a beginner could understand and benefit from this! Thank You!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Frank!

[@frankh.4226]

@@malcolmmoore ; Thank You!

[@wingsurfer]

Even though I've been snowboarding for years. This is so well explained.. I've learned something!

[@Xantulle]

Hey Malcolm, nice video once again! Here's my question: have you ever made a video on how to properly fall or break a fall, and thus minimising the risk for injuries?

[@AppleCliser]

Wish I watched this last week. Thanks. *i went snowboarding again today. Thanks to you the shark didn’t get me. 😌

[@mvmcali6900]

Great psychological image that there is not an edge catch shark waiting to get you! I have been guilty of that mindset of getting too worried about when that next edge catch is gonna jump out and get me

[@malcolmmoore]

No need to play the jaws theme over and over in your head!
