[@djunglebobo]

I never snowboarding and now i know everything what to do in next 2weeks learning

[@malcolmmoore]

This is the even more condensed version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4C9iKBnd6uIjMk Good luck!

[@0c0cpcpcpck48]

I'm not even a beginner but I love watching these videos

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks for watching 🙌

[@rinhu8864]

Lol same 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@salamdamai]

Same here

[@jumakin5259]

same lol im going to use it to teach my friends

[@vladambrosie2006]

Same!🏂🏂🏂

[@cindycindy4536]

Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". kzbin.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.

[@adamweb]

As someone that sucks at snowboarding and starting over, THANK YOU! This is the most informative beginner video I've seen. You do a fantastic job of describing what you should be feeling and exactly what movements to make!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Adam! 🙌

[@Ryan-no5bf]

So jealous of how nice this beginner slop is. These east coast bunny slopes are like diving in head first, icy and steep

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah pretty lucky here in alpe d'huez 👍👍

[@reptilesgamers00]

yeah over by PA. Skiers use the bunny slops so much they get packed down tight than frozen. Instead of a gentle angle down, they are way steeper than necessary but the hill itself is small. Makes terrible practice.

[@SanchoGracie]

So jealous of that bunny flat! I'm learning at overcrowded Snowbowl in Flagstaff, AZ. Between the Phoenix desert dwelling crowd that have no equipment and are only there to loiter on the bunny slope to take selfies and the complete lack of ANY flat area....it's been trial by fire 😂

[@matthewbrowne9955]

Lol I was thinking the same thing watching this. The hills I learned on in new england were straight downhill, narrow, and icy as hell. I broke a rib on the bunny slope on my second day snowboarding lol

[@MakVizz123]

You’re literally the best teacher I’ve seen, the fact that you use two beginners and have them that good in 6 hours is brilliant! My first day was awful, basics are very important

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Mak 🙌

[@andreeam.1888]

A few years ago I went on a snowboard camp to learn how to snowboard and the instructors had the exact same methods you have and with the exact same detailed explanations. It's so important to have instructors that can explain the physics behind the movements and not just "turn your shoulder and the board will follow" like I heard some of them do. Awesome video!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Andrea!

[@roadtrip6075]

Hi Malcolm, although we do not know each other in person, I want to share with you that there has been an extraordinary change in my life. I just became CASI level 1 snowboard instructor in Canada. I have watched some of your videos countless times to mimic your movements on snowboard, and learn your teaching methods so I could relay information more effectively. Your videos have been immensely valuable to say the least for my snowboarding progression in both riding and teaching abilities. I don't know where this will lead me, but I am excited for the future. Thank you!!!~~

[@eggytd]

I'm a beginner. A very very scared & anxious begginer. Thank you for not just doing it with real beginners but the use of ON snow video & at home positioning in the video is going to be SUPER helpful for me (and others). The 'pulling the levers' analogy made me so confident. I can't put into words how much your videos are helping us beginners gain more confidence. Bravo!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks so much!! Super kind words 🙏🙏😊😊

[@kardaxgo]

A lot of lessons with a lot of disparate teachers and no one couldn't explain me how to turn, they were all about "open and close a door with the arm" or "watch were you want to go and the board will follow" until I watched your leverage method and I was like: NOW I KNOW! Went on the mountain binded my feet and did the first linked turn than I almost cried... Thank you Malcolm

[@Durkrahn]

It is very dependent on the student too, we all aprehend a metaphore in a different way. To make people understand a very precise general body movement which slightly moves your mass center, you gotta start somewhere and it doesnt always produce the same result. I am no professionnal but I learned the basics to a few people. I tried to explain it alternatively with a rotative hip movement that you can "pilot" with your hands on the hips, or with a shoulder movement with both arms extended in the shoulder line, the front arm pointing at the direction you wanna go. If i go "hips and shoulders aligned, bend your knees, move your body weight on your front foot ... no, too much on the front foot ... your but is too far behind, chin up ..." I will have a frutrated student on the ground in no time. You gotta find a description of the general movement that works. The levers metaphor looks great, i wanna try that. I m glad it worked for you. Happy riding !

[@shuurui]

I feel a bit bad for Alice. I'd say she was learning really fast and was doing great but got completely outshadowed by Elsbeth who was unbelievably fast in progressing. Edit: Oh and you have some great insights and tips for starting to learn snowboarding. This is a really good video to watch if you want to learn to ride or learn how to teach others!

[@yeahimhere0286]

I don’t think it was about out showing each other. They’re both learning. It’s helpful to see someone make mistakes so we know what to avoid. There’s no reason to feel bad for her, not everything is a competition. They both seemed to be having fun

[@eliterolo]

Second season for me. First season I “taught” myself. It was great but definitely missed some of the fundamentals. This time around I found this video and took my first day to get all this tips and exercises and applied that that day. By the second day the improvement was so noticeable that I keep following your advice. by the 3rd day I was connecting turns and catching an edge was almost non existent. My riding was so smooth. So thank you so much

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome thanks Sebastian 🙌

[@yeahimhere0286]

Great video. No over explaining. Straight to the point. 10/10

[@fnxph03n1x]

the difference of having a coach! i learned through a lot many youtube videos, and so in first two days that i went, i mastered the heel side fallen leaf. This video helped me to practice the toe edge fallen leaf, and i managed to then link them up together and do the basic turns! Thanks a lot. Going to read more now, and hopefully be able to say "yes, i know snowboarding" by the end of this winter. This video was amazing! One emphasis to everyone: Put the weight on the front leg!

[@98kag]

My first time was last Monday, and the teacher was the worse, he literally spent half an hour talking about the boards and the boots, almost trying to avoid to teach us. Second time was 2 days ago, on Friday, and a friend of mine was teaching me and everything made much more sense. These girls are so lucky you are the one teaching them, next time I feel like I’ll be so much better after watching your video, thanks man

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, once you get to linking turns, the progression is 🚀

[@ssj4david]

Your lesson is amazing Malcolm! I didn't get to linking turns like this until my 4th or 5th day snowboarding (on my own). Alot of people should watch this video.

[@vuvo2002]

This is the BEST beginner video I've seen! And I've been snowboarding for well over 15 years!!! LOL!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thankyou, I appreciate it, and big thanks to Alice and Elspeth for taking part 🙌

[@AngusMcIntyre]

This is really great material. I'm off for my first go on a mountain this week and hope to be linking turns like this by the end. Great tutoring!

[@DannehT88]

Just started riding and found your videos extremely helpful! I love the commentary at the end where you pick up on things you could do to improve and pick out some mistakes beginners wouldn’t understand. Great video!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Danny 🙌

[@tusharchhibber]

This video alone has helped me a lot to learn snowboarding. I started learning in december and can confidently traverse blue hills now. Yesterday, I started practicing my switch riding and am coming back to this video as a beginner switch rider 🙂

[@mizzstar21]

I like that you are being “picky”, it’s helping a lot to understand why certain postural changes are beneficial.

[@zeinfeimrelduulthaarn7028]

Thats excellent, i will coach my family and 1 friend this season when i get the opportunity to be on the slope so this will help a ton

[@ayaanazam3685]

I have learned more by watching your tutorials compared to my winter ski course hahah Thank you so much!

[@denaamarah]

Wow, best video I've seen about snowboarding. I love your reassurance...

[@donaldzuramp4404]

Im probably like alice so i was cheering for the whole time. Great to see her improve over time!

[@BatkoBrat]

I really like how genuine you are and I can't emphasize enough how much you've helped me (and thousands of others, I am sure). I am so glad you have the subs and views you so much deserve. Keep on growing, bro!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Filip, appreciate it 🙌

[@alfresco4805]

The Leaver method - hands down the best explanation to a total beginner like me. Watched tons of videos and first time I'm really getting it how the mechanics work!

[@ProgramKiraTV]

I watched this video before buying my board, now I’m watching this before teaching my little sister to board too! Thanks for making it so clear and in depth as if it were real ski school

[@SamuelTubbritt]

I wish every slope had someone like you Malcom working there lol currently on day 2 in Slovakia , surrounded by skiers and non English speakers , feel massively out of my depth but these videos are helping it all to make sense. Thanks Dude , from a fellow Brit 🤓

[@rbarrett]

My girlfriend just had her first week of snowboarding. Unfortunately group lessons weren't available, so she had to make do with a private lesson at the start of the week, which took her right up to the point of learning how to link turns. I tried to teach her turning throughout the next few days, and then she had another private lesson which was next to useless. The next morning (unfortunately on the last day!) I took her out to practice using your technique. Thirty minutes later, after only two small runs holding her hand, and then she was already off and linking turns by herself!

[@malcolmmoore]

Well done Rob! Happy to have helped 😀

[@pxlcoarl]

Ive been snowboarding for 6 years now but honestly this video does a great job remembering some basics you tend to forget over time. Great Video

[@PlatinumPaladin915]

This video is so good for a refresh given I am still learning, I got the hang of it, however this video helps me realize what I need to be doing, and things I do not need to be doing, Very helpful and some of the best instruction I found in KZbin! Always enjoy your videos Malcolm!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏

[@cliffsuruki3330]

Excellent video that essentially prepared me to snowboard for the first time at 54 years old. I took lessons on the mountain, but this video (and all his other videos) really helped with the theory and prepared me to actually make S turns by the second day.

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant happy to help 😊🙌🏼

[@TECHBEATZ1200]

I've noticed that nobody suggests in their lessons for students to do some minimal body/limb stretching before starting the lesson. I think its crucial and will help from a super sore body so that the students can practice along with more stamina and less muscle aches,cramps and sores.Those things can be discouraging to beginners mentally and physically.

[@chriscampagna9062]

I leaned how to ride a few years ago and this is great reminder of some essential fundamentals. I’m planning to work on improving my carving and switch riding this year so these are some great tips that go beyond even beginner riding!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Chris!

[@felix5740g]

Seriously amazing video. Been riding for quite a while now and even taught some friends but you're giving so much more insight here. When you just "know" what you're doing and try to explain it, you tend to leave out a lot of the technical stuff. But your detailed explaination really helps understanding the physics behind it. Seeing your approach makes me want to teach more :D. Keep up the great work on the channel. Really glad you popped up in my recommended videos :D

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Felix 🙌

[@cyrusortiz-luis291]

Teaching my daughter to board and I will definitely use these tips to get her toe side down. THANK YOU!

[@lambmaster]

Still a beginner, but putting my weight on my downhill foot is probably the scariest thing I had to get in the habit of; I always felt like I was going to fall forward on my face!

[@abhijithchakravarthy5423]

I taught someone how to snowboard today using this tutorial and he was nearly linking turns by the end of the session. Malcolm's a g.

[@tbaart4428]

This vid actually helps me so much cuz I got a friend that’s going snowboarding with me for the first time after New Years. Hopefully he can learn quick and have some fun. Thanks as always Malcom

[@malcolmmoore]

Thankyou!

[@liavocu7819]

This is so helpful when it comes to teaching students. Will definitely be using these analogies and visuals!

[@edondari]

yours are the best Snowboard lessons around! great job

[@malcolmmoore]

Thank Angelo!

[@frognyanya]

Connecting turns on day 1! Amazing! Took me 4 days

[@Game0verFool]

I just had my first snowboard lesson at Chill Factore which I really enjoyed. It definitely helps to have had a lot of snow experience on skis. There is a lot of carryover so far.

[@maverickmoto]

This is the video I send to people I’m teaching to snowboard. Having a little knowledge on how edges work and body position makes teaching so much easier

[@araujovivih]

Amazing video! It was very helpful to see your explanation and body position on the side. I just finished my first season with some improvements, but it was still hard to link turns. I will definitely save this for my next season. Thank you!!!

[@tuannitro3387]

All the snowboard videos I watch on KZbin this one is the best thanks you very much!!!!!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks! 🙌

[@evaghidinelli8885]

Finally one good snowboarding tutorial about turns! CAN'T THANK U ENOUGH

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Eva, good luck with your snowboarding 🏂

[@asparklesofthebless601]

Wouw, wouw, wouw! Thanks! I have never seen such quality explanations / teaching anywhere. I used to think that snowboarding is impossible with a lot of falls, but you have shown that snowboarding is very possible - a slight change in body position - it turns out that snowboarding is all very logical and you don't have to fall!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks!!!!!!

[@inguracka]

I am finishing up all your videos before i am heading back to slopes this year and starting from scratch! After teaching myself I can see how many beginner mistakes I still make and that is why I cant progress, even after few seasons of learning. This season is going to be much better thanks to you!! I was not able to afford instructor back when I started, but if I ever get to Alpe dHuez, I hope I will be able to learn from you irl. In the meantime, we are very grateful for your videos, it is generous of you to be sharing them free of charge!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks I enjoy making them, give me a shout if you make it to alpe d'huez

[@markanderson4880]

Always interesting and a massive source of info. Brilliant. Great teacher. See you on the slopes.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Mark!

[@lukedudgeon8699]

Phenomenal video. Really wish i had something like this when I was trying to learn. I swear Elsbeth is better after 6 hours than I am after 2 years. Will definitely be practicing whilst thinking about these techniques. One thing I would add to any reading this comment.... Buy or hire the right gear. I purchased an older, 2nd hand snowboard rather than hire, and I believe it made it far more difficult to learn on(due to camber profile and flex). Other than that, get as much time as you can on the snow, and ENJOY! Thank you so much for the awesome content, keep up the great work.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thankyou, and yes, the right gear is a must! 👍

[@alexwrigglesworth2611]

Amazing progress! If I ever wanted to learn snowboarding I would definitely work though these tips.

[@malcolmmoore]

🙌

[@meloliver6726]

I'm an AASI level 1 instructor and getting students to link turns always seems like the biggest hurdle. Gonna try your technique. Thanks and great video!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks so much!! Hope it helps 🙌🏼

[@jasonrutlidge342]

Given the space you have had with both the students also helps. I did my basic and intermediate training at Chillfactore in Manchester.... very limited slope length plus the slope was too steep for a beginner. I always check out your vids because they explain the fundamentals of each skill needed to improve your riding. Keep up the good work, your a good tutor.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, yeah this was filmed last season when none of the lifts (apart from the magic carpet) were running. That explains the quiet slopes and also why at the end we hiked up a pretty poorly pisted slope! Looking forward to things hopefully going back to normal this year!

[@roadtrip6075]

One of my friends is trying snowboard for the first time and this video will help so much. Thanks for the great video again!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, my pleasure!

[@eladcohen3845]

Great video! Much effort needed to create a good tutorial like this. Well done and thank you Melcolm🙏 Keep them coming 🤙🏂

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Elad!

[@christopherleigh2090]

Great video,,amazing results after only 6hr...

[@mariskabrady6123]

Wow! My early snowboarding endeavors (1995-2000) would have been so different had we had resources like this. So well articulated better than any instruction i got 20+ years ago and so helpful for me to articulate all of this to my daughter.

[@carlosbenitez6438]

This is such a helpful video thank you for taking the time to make this!!

[@hugocukurs]

This video it's amazing. It helped a lot to improve my posture and start working my toe slide better! I will recommend it to all my beginner friends!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Hugo!!

[@luvvit]

I learnt to board in a real haphazard way, and learnt my linking after my first week boarding, so had no idea where to start teaching my son. We did 2 hrs up at Lecht this weekend, and managed to get as far as toe edge "falling leaf". It's also helped me understand what to do riding switch, which has been a real game changer.

[@ericbrown2578]

Hi Malcolm, thank you for your video. I am a beginner only been snowboarding for 6 months. However, I am watching this video and able to teach a beginner snowboarder from first time to Falling Leaf in 8 hours. This is so amazing for the result at the end of the day. And It was good opportunity to correct myself posture and fully understanding the theory behind. Many thanks and great video!

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers for watching!

[@christianlollmann9537]

Yah you are a God explaining snowboard skills. Thank you

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Christian 🤩

[@hickokaviation2249]

That view in the background is stunning!

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah alpe d'huez has all the views 🤩

[@ericlim5920]

those look like perfect slopes for learning!

[@dexirous41]

By far my favourite snowboarding coach on YT.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Dexter, appreciate it 🙌

[@StantonWarrior4]

This is a fantastic video. I’m a ski instructor who snowboards but it’s so long since I learnt that I don’t really remember snowboard lessons. After watching this feel much better prepared to help my nephew learn the basics on his holiday next week (he’ll be doing some lessons with an instructor as well)

[@malcolmmoore]

Cheers Mike, good luck to your nephew! I'm stuck in a lift queue now, weekend crowds!

[@Afzalive]

I am looking forward since May, when I found this video, to practice this on the slopes! Almost time!! Also taking lessons but that's in January.

[@basswindu7116]

My wife use to snowboard and she’s getting back into it and I’ve been once 15 years ago, I’m 30 now and I’m gonna be buying my first setup soon, these videos have been a blessing

[@a12i9]

Oh wish I had a slope like this and a teacher like you. I tried it last year with a friend who knows how to snowboard, so I could just watch and learn, but I never got to the connecting turns part. In the end I kinda gave up on it and just zigzagged down the slope, hoping to get down safely. These girls are doing a great job and you are doing a great job explaining. Thank you, now I can't wait to get back on the board and start all over again (and hopefully succeed this time).

[@GetoDac]

first time snowboarding... thank you would be not enough... I am very grateful for what you did ! 🥰

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant happy to help 🙌🙌

[@riyadhatrah]

Absolutely amazing video! Loved every single analogy you used to help me get it lol! Tomorrow is my first snowboard lesson learning as a rides in his 30s, will use the tips you’ve mentioned!!! Thank you!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, good luck with it!

[@bananachu]

Wow MM! Lever method - Game changer. This is so much better than the opening door method we're all taught. U got the girls doing both J-turns on one foot outta the blocks! And have them carving S's in 6 hrs! Evidence is there folks... Sick vid!

[@twinklepug]

Wow they did amazing! My first day was falls galore. Well done to Alice and Elsbeth! I'm really impressed. But it helps to have a great teacher. I'm brushing up on my basics before going out again. Thanks!

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah they did fantastic! We rewatched this recently and I'm so impressed how quickly they picked it up!

[@StompedAgain]

I love that you start on toe edge for the sideslip, to me this is the single most important tip in this video. Once a beginner can sideslip on toes with good control, the rest of the progression is easy. I suggest dragging fingers on snow to learn toe edge as it allows learning edge control without fear of falling or the instructor needing to hold hands with student. Once student can glide smoothly backward on toe edge while dragging fingers , stop them and get them to do the same thing while standing tall. From that point forward three key things will make everything else come together. 1. Stand tall 2. Hands don't move. 3. Even weight on both feet. I spend my lessons repeating these three points to students. Great video!

[@emilybwest]

Well done Alice and Elsbeth!! Super speedy progress 🤙

[@malcolmmoore]

🙌

[@danmat2062]

There is a huge difference of my snowboarding before and after watching this video. Thanks a lot!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome happy to help Dan!

[@josechavez2148]

So I tried snowboarding once on my own and once with an instructor. I struggled more the second day on bunny slope. Hearing the way you explained it all using analogy and showing in living room, it finally clicked what I was doing wrong. Thanks for making this video!! You have what I call the heart of a teacher🤘

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks José

[@chrisbirch5705]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've just come back from a week's holiday where I taught my 13 year daughter to snowboard on the back of this video. By the end of the week, she was nailing it! Keep up the great work.

[@malcolmmoore]

That's amazing 🙌🙌

[@rachelcoles3546]

Excellent video and very informative and helpful. Looking forward to getting out in the snow soon once lockdown here in Austria is over.

[@iubwoialbdlwbaldui4625]

Thanks mate ive snowboarded since i was a kid and today is my first day snowboarding with my beginner little sister, this vid helps a lot

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant glad to hear it 😊

[@reginag3326]

What a great video! And these two young ladies picked up so well!! I'm currently snowboarding in Bansko & man I fell down soo many times linking turns.... I wish I had/have a great instructor like Malcolm!

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah els and Alice did great!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@ninilustig]

I started watching another video then I turned back to this one, I love it, I wished my first class were with you….a nice fun snowboard instructor ❤

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 🙌

[@ethicfpv]

Thank you for the detailed, well explained steps! Just got my first 4 hours in without a teacher (2x 2h indoor thing). First 2 hours were a lot of falling :-) but managed to get down a few times without. Today went a lot better, almost didn't fall anymore on the beginner slope. Toe side feels easy but riding on the heel edge is still challenging. I tend to skid and break a lot and my body wants to go inverted down instead. Again, many thanks for making these vids, cheers

[@louiscollin5109]

I have been snowboarding for 16 years and now I am teaching a friend and your video is an amazing tool to help out first-timers. Good work man.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Louis hope it helped!

[@Tchutcha82]

Thank you so so much for this video. I've tried skiing two times and last time i developed sole sort of trauma, it was horrible . I'm a natural water person and a teacher too and at 40 i did not think i could manage , i changed to snowboard due to the more flexible boots to help me feel and connect to the activity and its hard ... i spend a few hours today reconnecting to the entire experience and i started to be frustrated ; its not a natural activity for me at all, I'm more seal style :D sliding in my belly kind of thing ;but after searching a fair bit i found your video and i will follow step by step. I like the way you explain how we should be feeling in terms of movement etc... thank you :D

[@thomasbroleen4241]

Ive had a 12 year layoff from boarding hence why I'm here. There aren't many good snowboard instruction KZbinrs out there.....BUT you Sir are definitely one of the good ones, I started boarding 22 years ago and apart from a few new techniques (which look like great additions to what i was taught) this is exactly how I was taught over 2 decades ago. Simple, concise information. Yourself and some American/Canadian youtubers are keeping it old skool.👍👍

[@malcolmmoore]

Glad to help! I'll be back in about a month with more vids!

[@kaibinyin7761]

thorough and clear explanation!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks!

[@finalflashko]

Good stuff. I just went snowboarding myself first time today with my GF who does it for 2 years now. It went pretty well, although now I have a technical understanding of what my body was naturally doing and how exactly to execute smooth turns. We both wish we found this video few days earlier, but we're going to try to apply everything you explained here on our next trip to the mountain. Thank you.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, good luck with it!

[@gabrielbratu7524]

Awesome explanation and great progress for the girls in under 8 hours. 🤙

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Gabriel! 🙌

[@honeywasp7839]

today i rented a board just to get a feel but no instructor was wanting/could teach me and oh my god is it much harder than skis, ive learned a new level of respect for snowboarders hahaha... but fr i will learn one day and hopefully i will be able to get a teacher and not just an amazingly informative video! thanks man this is really useful edit: im making the instructors seem like they where shoving me away, their main job is the ski's so some have never touched a board and all i did was ask for any tips/tricks when i came face to face while we where on the rope pull on the bunny slope (the smallest one, still steep tho if i knew its way easier to grasp on flats first i would have :) )

[@chaouki20]

Time to start Snowboarding :D Thanks this is helpful. I'm going for lessons next week and I need to make sure to not be completely lost

This was great. I thank skateboarding and hockey for preparing me for this. All of the weight shifting, hip placement, and edge thinking already make sense.

Are you better when you know how to skate and ice-skate?

[@donovanhays]

@@roniburriss2683 I'm not sure since I didn't try without already knowing those things, but I assume any technical physical activity prepares you for others. I consider playing ice hockey and skateboarding both technical physical activities when compared to running or catching a ball for example. Getting used to weight transfer, understanding separating your upper body movement from your lower body movement, knowing what getting on your edges means, having already used some of those muscles, and getting your brain to talk to your muscles all comes with those other activities. With all that said I did learn to both ski and snowboard in 1 day. Obviously not double black level but I was on blues by the second day.

@@donovanhays Ohh okay, thanks for telling me! I’ve never been but I’m Planning on going soon so I’m just trying to learn to prepare myself.

First and only snowboard lesson was awful, the instructor barely ran us through braking and heelside leaf. Since then it's been youtube tutorials and trial and error. 9 days on snow and I've finally got my linked turns going. This video is a godsend.
