It’s my job to explain stuff to people and to be rhetorically sound while doing it, you sir are remarkable and second to none in your ability to pierce through the details of the sport you chose, dissect it and get it across. This is something I’ve been missing in many people you instructed me with regards to snowboarding. This is not a tutorial, this is real education! Thank you!

As a veteran snowboard Instructor of over 15 years. This is the best explanation of torsional twist I have seen online. This is my favorite subject to teach. Homework for you Malcom. Try a butter press and add twist to the raised foot. You will be ale to spin endlessly. Cheers! Well done.

Hi Malcolm, after boarding for 20 years I needed some improvement to get rid of some bad habits. I just spent 4 days in Japan using this technique of da-dum, da-dum and it was a game changer. I tackled everything with more capability and confidence. I could ride all mountain before but this really made me on edge with control for more of the ride. Thanks Malcolm, love the videos

I didn't understand yet. Maybe 'cause I am snowboarding just two times and I need to practice more and feel my movements 😅 I do a regular stance so my left foot is my front foot and from what I understood before making a turn I have to release pressure on the front foot and keep the pressure on the back foot, right? I didn't understand how to make flawless turns by having attention on these drills 'cause when I am trying to feel if I am doing it right or wrong I can't help but I feel my body is really heavy and under stress 😢

I had to watch twice to finally understand what he was trying to say. So basically as you’re about to engage into a turn from say a heel edge stance, you’ll need to push your front leg (toes, ankle knees and hips) forward while keeping the back leg neutral to create a “twist” (think of it as if you’re wringing a wet towel) on your board so that your toe edge from your front leg touches the ground first (at this point your board will be in a “twisted” position), then almost immediately after you can do the same for your back leg (doing this will release the twist) so that your toe edge touches the ground where at that point you’re on your toe edge on both feet, then repeat that sequence on your front heel edge.

Like so many others on here, I just want to say a huge thank you for all the invaluable information you have shared! My most recent snowboarding holiday was an incredible experience because of everything I've learned from your videos, and I was able to put it into practice because of your clear and concise delivery! Good posture, crossing the hips, following the nose of the board for example were tips I would think about through every turn whenever I found myself getting lazy, or performing more of a skidded turn. I look forward to learning even more from your videos as my skills progress!

Hi Malcolm. Thanks so much for this video. I had a sucky day on the slopes yday, I just had very little control and felt like I was fighting the board the whole time. I watched your video last night to get some tips and today was a much better day. Okay I’m not flying down the mountain, but I have much better control and my confidence in my abilities. I’ve got 3 more boarding days left. I’m hoping to practice what you are teaching more, and get more enjoyment out of my boarding experience. Thank you so much.

Think this is one of your best videos, love that drill with the side slip to side slip, that dials right in to where I am, when I get on a steep slope slightly out of my comfort zone and rush the turns, having too much skid to get rid of speed and catch an edge..leading to me losing my mojo and going back to falling leaf or just heel edging down...that drill looks perfect for those slopes where I don't have the skill or confidence to carve properly. Many thanks...another awesome video, very well explained

I mean, really. So much useful, pertinent information, given eloquently and concisely, with a smile on his face, AND IN ONE TAKE!! FFS Malcolm, stop making the rest of us look inadequate!! I've been a language teacher and scuba instructor, and wish I were half as good as Malcolm at delivering information. 25% I'd be happy with. Pretty much all his videos, one take. And it's obvious it's not down to indolence - he simply breathes this stuff! If I might be permitted one insight on other teaching methods (in this case PADI's scuba courses), it's that lessons are given much like an essay is written; introduction to what's going to be discussed, the main body, and then a summary. So the lesson is 'given' three times, to start drumming it in (although first and third is briefly of course). On youtube, the title could be regarded as the intro, though 20 seconds or more of intro is helpful. You do this already, along with the main body. Sometimes though, because you have kindly given so much information, however succinctly, a brief repetition of the main points at the end to reinforce them can never go amiss. I'm in my 50's now, and there's not much left between the ears, so I need all the reinforcing I can get! :) Please don't pour the hate, as I said, Malcolm is a master at this, I just thought I'd give insights on other methods, however simple they might be. Wish I were in the alps - I'd be tappin' on your door for lessons to help me improve. Thanks for all the stellar content, Malcolm!

Love the direct explanation, I would say this is a video for advanced. For intermediates I also always explain that the shoulder goes with the motion as well, since a little bit of counter-rotation is often present, which obstructs the smooth turn. Keep making these.

Thanks for these very informative and entertaining video's. I learned a lot and still am. The knee steering is something I already did but I'm still having trouble: - Choosing the right turning method (falling leave, small(er) S-turns, carve, ...) according to the steepness of the piste. Choosing the wrong one makes me catch an edge or I chatter; - Need to improve my posture on my heel edge because I sometimes still get heel judder; - I need to become comfortable riding switch which I never do. I guess I know what to focus on when I go on my board trip to Ischgl - Austria in february and your videos will help me with that for sure.

A really easy way to learn this is to ride a ripstick, because to make the ripstick turn, you to introduce some torsional twist, and when the turn is completed, you align your foots again (otherwise you will make a full circle). I used to do a lot of ripstick riding, and I naturally ride my snowboard with knee steering because of that. I hope this can help some people pratice during the off-season 🙂

Man! I'm 48 yrs young and after 42 yrs on skis I jumped onto a snowboard! It was my 3rd attempt, I must admit - first one was 30 yrs ago when I was 18... That time I was riding, well, learning snowboard in ski shoes!!! Can you belive?! Even more, that time you could ride a snowboard but standing right to the nose, both your feet together pointing nose! Like a one wide regular ski!!! Anyway, my 2nd attempt was like 13 yrs ago. Toghether with friend of mine we took snowboards for learning and couldn't even stand straigh with 3 or 4 hours!!! And when I was 18 within one hour I was like a bit riding down... So last Saturday, my older daughter (14) put strong on a table (that ski tweekend was connected with her birthday day) she wants to try snowboard (shes quite good skier). And I responded - great, I'm in too. I wanted to spent more time together and I didn't want anything major she can I can't... Belive me or not, both of us watched literally 2 videos on YT, such an 101 and the next day at 7pm we hopped on the snowboards. By the 8pm we were riding down the green horn slope. That was end of the day in the resort, so next day, after another 3-4 hours of practicing that slope, we hit the red piste... And we nailed it. I didn't fall once. Rest of Sunday I spent on that slope... Sorry for the long introduction to my words, but I must say you are talking! I'm like installing your words into my brain... Like they fit to special slots... Can't wait till next moment I'm on the deck... Thx bro!!!

Have you played around with making sure you have a flat base moment (any length of time really, but certainly a moment) between all your turns? It's incredibly challenging going slow, and sort of not possible in bumps but still an idea to try to achieve. One's stance has to be rock solid both in terms of position and muscle tension. Once we're going faster it adds to flow, and feels effortless (ties in nicely with your How to Snowboard Effortlessly video). And it allows for such smooth roll onto the new edge, and a ton of control over edge grip and build up of pressure. If you haven't deliberately played around with it, then I do recommend. Another great snowboard tip and tool in this video though man. You do continually put out good and useful content.

Hey Malcolm, i tried these drills over the weekend. The first one is really a gold, i could clearly see a difference between my regular side and switch side. For the 2nd, i think i'm missing something especially when changing the edge but idk how to correct it. Dolphin turns are really hard, i can do an Ollie on the base but not on the edge😂

This video perfectly rounds out the original videos on torsional twist and short turns. I was previously still a little unsure about that brief moment between the two edges-- whether the board is momentarily on a flat base, or whether it is torsionally twisted without ever going fully flat base (almost like making two independent edge changes like you say).This video makes everything crystal clear. Even in carving, where the edge change is much snappier, it is still helpful to think of the two knees independently, and have the movement initiated by the front knee (even though the back knee follows suit almost instantaneously).

Keep in mind if you follow the leading foot twist with your rear foot too slow you will catch an edge. The timing of it is the tricky part as you can easily overshoot or undershoot if you're focusing too hard on body cues.

Cheers Malcom, came back for a refresher as tried Bankso this year and struggled a little on the steeper runs with judder on heelside. Like you said, I tend to overthink things on the slope, so ideally need to just feel it rather than think it. Not sure why I juddered as I was intentionally pushing weigh onto the edge and using my knee to get weight out. It was under speed or steep, so I assume it was just technique or leg strength?

Good stuff! All techniques aside, my biggest challenge right now is getting over the fear of crowded runs. It really messes with my riding when I'm constantly concerned about getting blasted from uphill skiers and riders who bomb down the hill. Besides wearing a bright red jacket and being predictable in my turns, what else could I do?

4 days of working on this method and it's starting to come in for me. I'm probably being impatient and my expectations are too high, but I'm employing tenacity and discipline which seem to be paying off, even if a little on the slow side. This method of instruction is brilliantly simple, but putting it into practice is another beast entirely. The conversion from mental understanding to physical reality is fairly difficult. One thing I that I am trying to diagnose is that I sometimes get a turn started and get to or just past 45 degree beyond the fall line and the board stops turning and I fall. This almost always happens on a toe side turn. I look back in the snow to the point of fall and I have a nice skinny line with almost no skidding through the edge change and around the turn to the point where it just stops increasing the turn. This is probably happening once every 20 to 50 turns. I usually catch it by shoving the back foot out to induce skid.... Any thoughts?

do you use knee steering when you're carving too? In another video you said to carve by doing small lateral movements with your hips only. I'm confused because I think I do knee steering but definitely end up just doing a skidded turn.

When I was a beginner, the first real aha moment was to ALWAYS move weight (center of gravity) to my front leg before making a turn.The front leg will then start acting as a pivot, making the rest of the board (back part) rotate almost effortlessly around it. After the turn, weight back to center on both feet. So lean forward before the left or right turn.

How much should I obsess over perfecting turns etc.? I love these videos but I’m finding it’s casting me doubts over the way I do everything while in the local fridge. Hoping a week away this month will bring my confidence back. These are great lessons but when I can already turn etc. I’m finding I’m trying to perfect my riding like this over just having fun like I used to haha

Can you transition these principles into tracked out runs, moguls, and glades? (Opposite of groomed, or smooth steeps). I see alot of videos explaining independent front leg / back leg principles (mentioned here too), but don't see much elaborating on when/how to edge/flatten out, weight change anticipation, even counter-rotation (as needed) to regain control when riding uneven terrain. Would love any drill suggestions you might have so I can repeat undulating runs with less fatigue. I marvel at good riders who shred through bumpy stuff with so little effort.

Everything just suddenly clicked. I dont know if it's just me or what. Its like this "ah hah" moment. Before, i was like, sure it's fun sliding the board around but not the greatest feeling. Now, i can totally say im addicted to snowboarding 😂 That feeling, when doing the turn properly, the pop in the end, or the pressure release and energy return, which let me quickly press down to change edge to initiate the next turn, just is something else. I finally nailed it and could now easily turn down most red with lots of really tight and neat small turns (as long as it's not too icy). That rhythm is useful as i was waiting too long when i first tried. Next, mogul and tree run. I saw ur website talking about japan, just came back from Rusutsu hoikkaido!

@hannesm8173 11 ай бұрын
Hi Malcolm, to me it looks like, just before starting the edge change movement your board gets a push to go underneath your body and that helps you to change edge. So it looks like it's not just getting your weight over the board but also getting the board under your weight? Am I wrong with that observation?
