I'm finding I'm swaying in my seat side to side watching you carve.....That is what you call an immersive video! 😂

[@malcolmmoore]

😂

[@ferdelyszys]

I've watched it today and same thing man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ZZubZZero]

The first minute of this video, those shots of you just riding and carving so smoothly, that's just pure heaven. I could watch it for hours. I'd love to have a video of just that, for as long as possible

[@GinIchigo]

I recently started snowboarding last month, so far I worked out the basics but with your channel and tips it feels like I can go a bit higher after I can practice some more. Great content, fun to watch aswell.

[@BrentDuty]

Thanks for helping my snowboard skills! Transitioning early was very helpful with thin line.

[@tw5901]

You’re simply the best. I appreciate you. Thank you!!

[@dycevice897]

Superb video. On a subject I was hoping for. With great structure and editing. Please more of this with further advancement on carving. Your videos just get better . Brilliant.

[@Jonadak]

Yo! Thanks for making this video! I can't wait to try this out when I get the chance

[@therealmax3452]

Watching malcom snowboard is so satisfying, it looks so effortless and easy!! Thank you for all your videos! Yiu are a big part of why I can actually snowboard without lessons.

[@PavelJisl]

Hi Malcom, thank you very much for all your videos here. I started to think about my riding this year and tried to change my bad habits after 20 years of intuitive riding. All content here is really good explained. Thank you so much!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Pavel happy it's helped 🙌🙌

[@BlindBatG34]

Fantastic video as usual! Thanks Malcolm.

Great!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌Thanx for sharing this Masterclass!!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Ander 🙌

[@icefrog4606]

Malcom I must say I follow a few of snowboard channels. yours got to be one I can tolerate the most. nice video shots. clear instructions and audio and music is not too over the top. you're editor deserves a beer!

[@mattouhou]

Awesome content. Extremely helpful and you break it down in such easy-to-apply moves. Cheers man!!

[@malcolmmoore]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HashTakMedia]

Great video mate. Decided to focus on my carving game today because of the lack of powder. This helped a lot. Especially step 4 about the early edge! Seems obvious now but I never really thought about it. Cheers!

[@krunoslavuzelac8809]

Hey Malcom, have watched all your videos so far but this one is epic. Really what I needed at the moment! Keep up the good work :)

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome thanks 🙌

[@willoliver9259]

That felt like all your tutorials into one and perfect timing for me to practice tomorrow! Merci Malcolm🤙

[@malcolmmoore]

🙌

[@attita_the_hun]

Hi Malcom, great video as always. Loving these! Could you perhaps do a video on how to carve on steeper terrain. Or maybe just a video on how to do real steep slopes properly without skidding. I find that the steeper the terrain or the tighter the traverse the more I tend to revert to skidding even though I can carve

[@zacpeake162]

My 2c - the confidence to make early edge changes (while traversing) really helps. You get into your new edge before the fall line, turn more quickly and avoid picking up too much speed.

[@devonreid1646]

U won’t be really able to carve on steeper terrain than a blue run to much gravity , u have to use knee steering which is skidded turns

[@roadtrip6075]

Personally, I use down unweighted turn technique on steep runs as I get more control over my board and I can slow down while board is pointing the fall line by bending the board. Generally, I want to progress in baby steps so I don't get out of control. However, in this case, I practice basic turns (not carving) on even steeper runs then go back to the runs I was struggling with earlier, and I get more comfortable with the speed there.

[@Al-nj6ww]

Quoting Malcom in his reply below on when to carve: "Carving is mostly for mellow runs, so it just depends where you spend most of your time!"

[@SugmaDLigmaNutz]

Steeper terrain is easier to carve because it helps with speed/momentum.

[@fabiennecat2235]

Hey Malcom, thanks a lot for this video. Next week I am in swiss alps for snowboarding and just started in Jan with boarding. I will try this out for carving. :)

[@thanhviet104]

I finally get the carved turns thanks for your tutorial videos, Malcolm. Very appreciate your works from a midlife crisis man 👍

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha, hope the crisis is working out well for you!

[@hopchikichiki6431]

I definitely will do it ! Thanks a lot , short and clean !🔥🤘🏼

amazing video. am snowboarding on holiday and just saved me. thank you so much

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, enjoy your holiday!

[@rakish001]

This video changed my game. I always struggled to switch between heel edge to toe edge without stopping, I watched this little video and there I was carving …

[@Yaas90]

Those mountain views never get old! Also have to say, awesome selection of music tracks in all your videos!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Yaas! 🙌

[@blackmagepro999]

Thank you, everytime I watch your video, I learn something new.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks so much 😊🫶🙌

[@thijselzc]

Great vid as always! Such a helpful channel to progress the riding. Maybe a silly suggestion for a vid, but i’ll give it a shot; walking the board while strapped in with both legs. Not one of my strongest skills. Thx a lot and keep it up!

[@jasonarcher6889]

Malcolm ty…. Been binge watching all your videos as I’m headed out to Andorra for my first Snowboarding trip and your tips are making all the difference!!! So a big thanks indeed 👍

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Jason! Enjoy Andorra!

[@Daz555Daz]

Step 4 is the game changer. When newer boarders get that it changes everything. Great content by the way - I've been hoovering up your content since before last season which was my first time boarding for about 10 years. I'm 100% convinced your content was a huge part of why my FIRST run down was 10x better than I expected it to be. Obviously back at it again this year. I boarded all over Europe and N.America for about 20 years in a row from my 20s onwards before my big break - I wonder if I can do the same run now I'm in my 50s! We will see.

[@rakish001]

💯… I left a comment above before I saw yours. That one trick changed my game. I am much more confident now

thank you dude, 5 days into snowboarding and i feel like im on the right track applying your tips!!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome man, good work!

[@ev3rlastingfaith]

I wish it had 20 steps just so I could watch more. You put them all together and it looks so effortless. Here’s a topic: for all the things that you’ve been explaining so well in your videos, can you demonstrate the common mistakes? Like “don’t do this”. I think that would help a lot (just don’t break anything). Thanks!

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha yes, great idea 💡 Thanks 👍

[@lustigmountain]

Malcolm, you are my favorite coach! You mentioned on a heel turn your knees go out......are you opening both your legs outward? Aggressively? How long if so, just until you are traversing again? Is there more outward pressure on the front foot? Thanks for the great content!

[@andassteu]

After watching countless tutorials on snowboarding, this is by far the BEST one! Well broken down components of the carve, and well defined to-do steps to get to the end goal. I didnt even know i was doing it all wrong till i watched this tutorial, thanks for teaching!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 🙏 happy it helped 😊

[@drod2551]

Malcolm, keep the videos coming cause they are fenomenal, I'm commenting the videos that help me get going and this one is one of them main ones, thank your for the posture advice, I practiced it a ton until it finally kicked in Lol, I started slow speed and now I'm riding faster. I practiced slow but steady and now I'm riding it.... 🙏🤝👊😉 Started from ZERO to riding now... following your videos....

[@malcolmmoore]

Amazing!! Thanks for the support 🙌🙌

[@speedpapi101]

Im glad I came across your videos. I just started boarding this season and trying to nip the bad habits early. I honestly didn't think id get into its. Its alot of fun one you stop falling every 100ft.

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant yeah keep at it!!! 🙌🤗🤩

[@canonphotoandy]

I've got to say, Malcolm.. your videos are spot-on. I've skiid (skied, skii'd, skiyed?!?!) for 25 years, and have picked up snowboarding in the last 5 or so. A lot of the info here is essentially the same as a few other channels, but somehow you make it fresh and explain it very slightly differently for it to make so much more sense. Chapters are great. Well done on a marvellous channel - picking up pace ;-) Cheers from London

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Andrew! Yes, its not too complicated snowboarding so you will essentially see how many times I can find another way to explain the same thing haha! But different things click for different people, so I shall continue! Cheers 👍

[@catewilton2750]

Thanks soo much for this…I’m 60 this year and still haven’t mastered carving, so it’s an important goal for me. I scuff my turns.. it’s fear I think. Moved from skiing and started boarding at 40 and can be a bit too cautious, especially as I get older. Need to relax and let go a bit. Where is this? Such amazing wide pistes.

[@christopherrrmoore2661]

Great video thank you!

[@Hulethepenguin]

Hi Malcolm! Can you please make a video on snowboarding profiles (camber vs rocker), how to best choose a snowboard, especially for beginner - intermediate level, for smooth learning and less edge-catching. Keep it up, thanks!

[@damiannavas403]

Great idea!

[@PeytonBrailsford]

I second this! I’m in the market for a new board (as an intermediate rider moving up from a hand me down) and would really appreciate a breakdown on rocker vs camber (and hybrid combos), differences in flex and dampening, and how all of those factors change the actual feel of riding and your control

I suck at those, I have a really bad left shoulder that dislocates alot so I can't really get that arm down. I can kind of do them switch, but not that well!

Happy shredding 🤙

[@EscapingLogician]

Really excellent video, thank you! I had a fundamental misunderstanding of what carving was. The early edge change tip was absolutely gamechanging, I had been trying to change my edge while pointing straight down the slope this whole time!

[@mastermojo9000]

I am right there with you. It's scary making the early toe-to-heel edge change because you have to lean backwards down the hill while you're traversing. That's the psychological barrier i'm trying to work through.

[@jcgnzlz]

Thank you SO MUCH for your videos. So much help, I have learned a lot. I would suggest a video for a dad like me helping my 12 year old and 14 year old to learn how to snowboard. Teach the teacher. Yes they have had private lessons at ski school but honestly, we have not been very fortunate with those. After a few trips, my kids still don't know their toe-side edge turns. Anyway, thank you! Any help on how I can teach my kids would be appreciated.

Step 4!! As a new snowboarder who has figured out quite a bit of what to do-- but it's tough to bring it together, step 4 truly is the secret. Thanks so much for all these videos! I can see why you're so successful teaching. You really know how to describe everything perfectly and easy to understand. I can't wait to hit the mountain after watching your videos.

[@pv7769]

Could you explain it because i really have a hard time understading that concept (English is not my native language)

[@romaniasvic213]

@@pv7769 Hi. Late response, but I can try to explain. Early edge change means this: When you are making a turn, you usually are on one of your edges. To make the next turn, you need to go from one edge to another(For example, let's say you are riding with right foot/leg forward). You make a turn to right, you use your heelside edge(The edge that is behind your back). You go across the slope on your heelside edge and you almost reach the end of your turn. Here, you need to be careful. You will need to turn left(you are on the right side of the terrain). Now some people will wait until the snowboard is pointing down the slope(parallel with the fall line) and just then change edges from heelside to toeside(toeside is the edge that is in front of you). What you need to do is this: before your boards starts going directly down, you change the edges. Basically, when you almost reach the end of the turn and your snowboard is still going in the same direction it was when you made the turn to right, you change the edge.

[@romaniasvic213]

@@pv7769 A diagram helps a lot to understand this. If you can find one it would be good.

[@Versiloff]

⁠@@romaniasvic213you won’t get even with a diagram.. you have a full video explaining and the guy also described it quite deeply

[@Kuonluw]

Thank you so much for the video! I am still super scared to initiate the 4th step since I have awful memories of catching an edge during my first days. I get the theory but I need to practice this! Hopefully, I'll be ok.

[@silverzayan8524]

i learned in 5 days thanks to your videos and i've never touched a snowboard before

[@miroltje]

Hey Malcolm, I love your video's. For me they are the best out there. I was wondering if there's any exercises at home to get the movements of my body for carve turns right. Unfortunately I'm not able to go to the snow for more than 1 week a year and my technique is not that good. I've seen all your vids but when i'm on the snow, I don't have enough time to get rid of bad technique and learn the good stuff. My problems: kicking with my back leg, not putting enough pressure on both heel and toe side (especially heel side), not preparing the carve turn early enough. Can you make a video providing a few exercises to help me build the right muscle memory?

[@paulwheeldon7194]

Really helpful videos, thanks. I wondered if you had or could do a video on setting up your board, choosing equipment for beginner to basic intermediate. Thanks

[@malcolmmoore]

Haven't done that one yet, it'll probably wait until before next season now to be honest!

[@paulwheeldon7194]

[@RadialHead]

I finally started to get the hang of this last week in Obergurl (great wide blues for practicing). One thing I struggled with is I tended to get locked in on heel side carves & couldn't escape, usually resulting in a gentle flop onto my back after my speed dropped. Maybe due to not changing edges soon enough?

[@Supremecris]

[@malcolmmoore]

Haha 😉

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

@@malcolmmoore @Malcolm Moore The thing is: someone with actual experience can recognize high skills. You don't have to show lots of freestyle to the trained eye. Look Ryan Knapton for instance. He is a beast at carving and you won't see him at the park, but he has been a beast at freestyle. But there are always those kind of ignorants who think that you can't ride if you are not "Travis Parkering" all the time. Your videos are absolutely awesome, either at explaining things or showing new and original exercises to improve all kind of techniques.

[@malcolmmoore]

@@The-Man-On-The-Mountain thanks, I don't do much park these days to be honest, and most of the time I'm doing my best riding I'm not filming. You've got to also take time to enjoy snowboarding without turning it into work. The park side of stuff is pretty well taken care of by people like Tommy Bennett anyway so there's no need for me to get too into that. Got to get the balance!

[@shedytaieb1083]

Hi, Dear the best snowboard youtuber out there, I ve been following you and I m doing nice improvements, but I have two issues, One : you ve already made a video about it and I m going to put it to experience this weekend Two : When I m going fast on a straight forward track there is some lateral movement on the board ? can you explain what's the reason and how to avoid it, it makes me panic and stops half way on a narrow field, and I end up by going by by foot, or I end up catching an edge because I m trying to correct that movement.

[@davegaul7165]

Hello Malcolm. Been watching tons of your videos and you often mention making the edge change early in the turn, while in the traverse. What am I missing? Is there any other way? Or is this how we explain not making skidded turns?

[@agaik1]

Hey, I love your videos, I've learned a lot following your tutorials! I've got a quick question about your board, I know you switched from a warpig to amplid dada but was that a sponsorship deal or more of your unbiast choice? I've been looking at boards like warpig, superpig, orca but you've said a lot of good things about that amplid board. Thanks!

[@malcolmmoore]

It was a choice, I did get a 40% discount on the board that helped, and I do make a 5% commission on any sales made through the amplid link. But I'm not pushing it because of this. In a dada versus warpig duel I would say the dada wins in almost all areas apart from boxes and rails. 👍

[@armanohanian4787]

Hey Malcom what stance angles do you use and does it make a difference to carving?

[@jakubpietrzak8482]

Hi Malcolm, can you make a video how to make these nice carve turns on a steeper slopes (reds, blacks)? On a mellow pists I manage to keep this single line, but on a steeper slopes I go back to skidding and this smooth edge change is much more difficult

[@davidc6834]

thanks g

[@malcolmmoore]

[@danielforrester8078]

Good morning, I live in Florida and go out west to snowboard every few years, I have learned to carve like you say, however, how can I control me speed? Is making narrow carves the way to control your speed? Thanks

[@norbharrison6371]

Hi Malcolm, I watched a whole lot of your videos and I try to incorporate your tips best I can. I'm goofy... and when leaning forward, I leave a nice thin line in the snow. But when leaning back, I usually skid through the turn. I feel a bit uncomfortable leaning back. I know I am not supposed to stick my butt out, but it feels like the right thing to do. I am certain, I pushed my hip across the board during edge change. And I manage to maintain a straight posture. But for reason unknown, I skid or lose grip completely when turning right. I have tried putting more pressure on either my back or front foot. I changed stance and forward lean. Still leaning back does not leave a nicely cut line in the snow. How can I become more confident when leaning, back? ...or what else could it be?

[@jimmybushkill5295]

Hey Malcolm could u explain the importance of forward lean in a video for everyone.I see way too many people at the lifts who never adjust this or have no idea it’s there and how important it is drives me nuts to see that huge gap of high back and their calf. If u want perfect posture like Malcolm says your high backs should be adjusted correctly so crank up the forward lean people u won’t be disappointed and like always great video and eat your bananas

[@malcolmmoore]

🍌🍌🍌

[@kcsw95410]

Thank you Malcolm!! I’ve boarded 3 times now and looking forward to the next. On steeper slopes I’m still doing skidding turns and sometimes I have a hard time getting from toe edge back to heel. Thoughts? I feel trapped on my toes.

@Suz I’m at -12 left and zero right, and my stance is a bit wider than my shoulders

[@kcsw95410]

@Suz will do. Thanks for this. Yes. Left foot at about 10:30 on a clock face

[@kudu222]

Great video, only thing I would add is always be looking back up the slope before initiating your turn, especially on crowded pistes. You may have the right of way, but it’s never fun when you get smashed from the rear by someone who doesn’t see you coming across the slope!

Correct!
