Today was my first day back on the slopes. I attribute not losing progress and being able to pick right back up where I was at last year to watching your videos. Thanks!!

[@avartani95]

I'm going tomorrow for the first time since last February (which was my first season) so I can go in "mentally warmed up" and ready rather than crashing back down to square 1 👌

[@IvanLopez-rv7wh]

Hello Malcom this past weekend i went to mountain to learned snowboarding i started at 9am and i follow every single instruction on this video step by step until i master it from a slow speed to a decent fast speed. i only took 1 hour of break to rest & eat. by 2PM i was hitting blue trails & by the end of the day i was jumping on small tables & hips. i was so hype & in shock of how much i could progress in only 1 day. i went back home extremely happy. im a guy of 41 years old that definitely was looking for guidance to avoid risk of injurie. i just want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into this videos your are helping thousands of people to learn such a wonderful sport !!! appreciate a lot. i know that not all the people will learned in one day but if they are consistent by doing every step on this video will get it in a much faster time.

[@malcolmmoore]

Wow this is amazing!!!!!! Well done you smashed it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jonpi1651]

I've had snowboading lessons from Malcolm when I was starting out some 8/9 years back, it was money well spent because he picked up my many mistakes instantly and showed me how to fix them in a way that was really easy for me to understand. I bet if I was to visit Alpe d'Huez today it would be really hard to get more lessons from him because he's probably booked up for months. Malcolm is a great teacher and I would highly recomend him to anyone especially if your a beginner, snowboading is really hard so having a great instructor who is patient and encouraging was invaluable to me. Keep posting these videos mate!! I love watching them.

Two days ago was the first day of my season and I drove 3 hours there and back. Thanks to your videos I didn't loose anytime on the slopes and got 4 hours in. I wish I could have stayed another day but school takes priority

[@Hyromania]

I snowboarded for the first time yesterday. I can say that I fell quite a bit. I tried going up the chairlift 20 times, but by the end of the day I was successful 3 times. I've never skied before. I'm going to go snowboarding again next week. This time I will try to learn with the teacher for 2 hours.

Malcolm i would like to say a big thank you! i Had tried before 5 years a first lesson for snowboard and unfortunately the experience was terrible, with the teacher not explaining anything. I have deep dived in your videos and they are awesome, especially for me who i am a huge noobie to the sport. You gave me that motivation i was looking for. Bought my equipment and ready to try the exercises! I reached my 40's to start learning something new, thank you!

That's amazing thanks so much for letting me know 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Transporter0229]

This video explains the learning progresses and tips so well. I started snowboarding at the end of last season without knowing much of the sport and was taught by a friend. I felt I skipped a lot of the fundamental hip/center mass movements. This video makes me wanna go back and try out snowboarding again.

I used to board 20 years ago. Stopped pretty much cold turkey cuz we had no access. Went the other day and only thing I could do was toe side turns. 😂 Lost everything. My heel side sucks! Wish I had someone like you here to help.

[@frezman2009]

This video is super helpful. As a beginner, I had a hard time controlling my board. The concept of gravity center is clear. I start to feel how the board is going to respond to my center change. Big thanks to Malcolm!

[@malcolmmoore]

No problem!!

[@Niphiz]

So insightful! thanks for this content! It was my first time on Monday, and intuitively even though I didn't get lessons, I was doing the falling leaf method on my toeside at the slopes (which where not ideal for beginners because they were too steep), next time I will try to my heel edge also, my first time I was afraid of the heel side i don't know why, maybe my boots were a size too big and also I didn't have in mind the sitting on a chair idea.

[@_kevin8427]

Love it! I have never stood on (any) board and with this tutorial, I learned alone how to do basic turns in 6 hours (but more like in 3 hours, considering half of the time was spent on a magic carpet and T-bar). You do such an amazing job!

[@hanyalatif3295]

I'm looking forward to following these steps tomorrow in La Plagne. The important thing for my learning is practise, which I don't get when having lessons. They are keen to rush, and I'm a slow learner. It's good to have this breakdown as a core reminder of the progress process.

[@malcolmmoore]

Brilliant, I'm so happy they help 🙌🙌

[@mrnoodle3777]

Yesterday was my second day ever snowboarding and your videos helped IMMENSELY. Only thing I couldn’t figure out is how not to catch my toe edge during the edge change in my turn.

[@travissk5036]

Great Content. Thankyou

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks so much 😊🫶🙌

[@JukkaliMx]

Interesting. What you call "side slip" here is pretty much what I was taught was, and still call, falling leaf; and what you call "falling leaf" in the video I've always called J-turns. Great video, Malcolm. I love the emphasis you put on leading with the front knee, and not relying on the back foot kicking out to skid. I think many of us get a pass on that from our instructors, when we're just beginning, but you're right that the faster one learns to lead with the front knee, the better the turns get.

[@malcolmmoore]

Interesting, hope you're good, now to get back to practicing that crazy butter sequence!

[@ClosestNearUtopia]

Speed control is key, and yes you are allowed to take the left side hit to for some fun. One thing to take notice on those runs is if they are concave, letting you lose grip under your binders, other then that those runs should ran like any other.

[@leslieGCA7X]

Me encanta este video! I’m between basic turns and early turns. I will keep practicing. The most difficult part so far it’s when I’m on my heels or toes and then I have to flatten before my next turn. I just scare to catch an edge. Gracias Malcom

[@malcolmmoore]

You got this!

[@matthewcheung5136]

This is a nice breakdown!

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks Matthew 😊✌️

[@ercsrc]

Great tips. Do you also have a video or can you make a video for main mistakes such as back foot steering that are common and easy to fall into ?

[@bleeder228]

I've been watching your vids in preparation for my return to snowboarding after over 25 years. Never was a good rider or skier, mostly because I only went a 2 to 3 times a year. (financing lift tickets is a bitch in your late teens and early 20s). Anyway, today was the first day to try to employ all the techniques I've gleaned from you videos. Started in the practice area which is 150m long, at the most. Felt like I was learning next to nothing in that environment, so I exited to the 3.5 mile long green run after 2 trips down the practice area. It took only a few minutes for my skills to return from my previous experience. Problem with that is those skills is, they are bad skills. Sure, I can get down the mountain, but it's all skidded turns and kicking the tail out every time. I really concentrated on the posture and moving my hips and knees. Also thought through the techniques you teach about leavers and knee steering. In practice, I found this very, very difficult. It would start to have the effect desired, but almost always ended in some skidding, even though less than at the beginning. Also, on several occasions, when turning toe side, I would get a nice edge with no skidding, but the board would just stop turning and I would either fall or have to kick the tail out to avoid the fall. I'm doing something very wrong, here. Any suggestions based on the very weak description I've given?

[@kennethteng2849]

Hello Malcolm, I appreciate your video. I've recently begun learning snowboarding, primarily on the treadmill. I'm facing difficulty with the diagonal slide slip as my board consistently veers to the right. Despite leaning to the left, the issue persists. I'm wondering if I should lift my right toe and lower my left while leaning left, essentially twisting the board, to achieve the desired movement. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thankyou! I appreciate the tip 🙏

Hey Malcolm i can't thank you enough. You tips really help alot. I took an 1 1/2 hour group lesson. And the instructor basically just said exactly the same stuff as you. After studying a couple of your videos a few times, I can actually hear your voice on the slope with me..! Thanks to you i was able to chain a couple of S turns within the first few hours. I was also able to tell what mistakes i was doing too. Your tips really made a HUGE difference! Cheers ! @@malcolmmoore

[@pavkovicserik]

Thank you this video, i learned snowboarding only one day with this technique.

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome!

[@MateuszSkutnik]

Hey Malcom - thank you for all you do, it really helps. I want to point out something crucial that I found really counterintuitive at first - but I think it hinders progress in many cases. I'm talking about the fact that when you learn basics - you are almost always told that you should never "be" on the front edge - the one that causes you to tumble and fall. However, while making an early turn - you totally ARE on that lower edge for the first phase of that turn - after you changed the edge and before your board is 90 degrees perpendicular to the slope. Not sure if I'm making myself clear here, but there is this factor of leap of faith to the early turn - you worded it nicely two videos ago when you said - you have to let yourself fall over the edge to the other side. I think this needs more elaboration and reassurance from you that yes, to make an early turn you're on the downhill edge for a bit, but it's ok.

[@mankybrains]

That's more of an advanced move when you get out of beginner mode. This video is purely for beginners to get them used to changing edges during the turns without having to think of other aspects. I'd assume building the base skills first would benefit most people. Some just have the knack to learn faster and learn differently, the majority don't.

[@JukkaliMx]

You're right but in that case you're not moving down the fall line. You're moving either across, or diagonally. If you sink your downhill edge on the snow, while it's perpendicular to the direction of your movement, you WILL eat it 😆 That's the difference, and it's going to be hard for a newbie to get the nuance.

[@MateuszSkutnik]

@@mankybrains this video literally ends with Malcolm explaining the early edge change. :D

[@MateuszSkutnik]

@@JukkaliMx You're totally right. And this is why I'm suggesting this to be explained more by Malcolm.

[@OnlySoloQueue]

Nice man, just went snowboarding for the first time a couple of weeks ago, picked it back up last week, 2 sessions of 4 hours and I can do basic turns it so sick to see the progression everytime I hit the slope. It's insane especially since I do it with a couple of friends that are at the same level. I didn't knew anything about Winter sports. This is nice

[@OnlySoloQueue]

Oh btw they told me to use the backfoot to turn, I was like f*ck I just learned myself to not do so. But luckily it's not meant to be with your backfoot, only issue when snowboarding with ppl that are at the same level so I'm glad I did watch this video before I learnt it myself the wrong way.

[@malcolmmoore]

Incredible!!! Yeah the progression is wild, glad you're loving it!!!

[@d3adpool301]

Thank you so much!! Such great videos and explanations. I just found your channel today and i‘ve got just one more day on the slopes. Will try to use that day for better turns. One question i do still have… where were you filming? Looks like a great spot for the Next holiday xD

[@FnkProduction1]

I wonder if you had a video where you give some advice on how to handle narrow and steep slope. I've watched most of your videos (from which by the way I learned a lot, so thank you for that) and I'm not sure if I missed it in some of them or there is not a video of that topic. My problem with narrow and steep is that I gain speed quite quickly and then get scared so I turn my snowboard on my toe edge or back edge, which leads top slowing down my speed. Maybe this is the way of riding on narrow and steep slopes, I don't know, but I wanted to ask you if you have any advice on that.

[@farzinnasiri1084]

Can you make a video on the best exercises to do in the gym or outdoors to become ready for snowboarding?

[@laurathurneau]

I was doing really well for only having two snowboarding days under my belt. Instructor said I was a natural. Form was great, fundamentals were fine. But I caught an edge a few times at speed and then when I would start to move quickly I would panic because I felt it was too fast. I let the fear creep in, and it's been five years since I went boarding. I'm going to give it another try because of your video. I think I see what I was doing. Thank you!

[@yarikbratashchuk3386]

Hello Malcolm, awesome videos The most difficult part for me is the bumpy steep slopes, it's where I skid and eat snow. Or just very steep slopes. Is there any limit of where to carve? Seems to me like carving at 45deg is going to be hard

[@JukkaliMx]

Carving is just one of the many types of turns a snowboarder needs to have in their arsenal. And you need to know when to deploy each one. No, you cannot carve in all runs. Malcolm has a video on short turns and knee steering. Watch that. It's the one you'll use the most on stepper marked runs. For bumps, one issue we all deal with is not being aggressive enough. You have to ride very dynamically, and really attack the moguls. Snowboard Addiction has a great video on mogul riding; and one thing that helped me is ride tracked out slush like it was a mogul field. It's a lot more forgiving than actual moguls, and helps you practice the movements.

[@kurikuchi]

How do I ensure I am not catching an edge when changing edges during the traverse? Mentally, Im very stuck on changing edges when the nose is pointing straight down the slope...

[@Eric-wc6bg]

I have only skied in the past...at ages 10-16. I'm now 33 and going back to the slopes next week for the first time since then. Going to try my hand at snowboarding. Always wanted to snowboard but was too scared to try and was proficient in skiing...so I never took the chance. Nervous still, but going to overcome it this time around. Your videos are helping me prepare.

[@mankybrains]

You'll be fine. You have experience with skis already so your learning would be way quicker. If you have tried skateboarding you'll get an idea of snowboarding already too. You have the general idea of using edges. I only did skiing,ski blade(whatever you call it) one time in my life only at mid 20s. They were easy to pick up since I roller bladed a lot and ice skated occasionally when I was younger. I roller bladed miles just to get to work during the summer a few times. Though I never did go super fast nor learned to really slow down quick during high speeds. I slid and used a tree for that after losing control. No real lessons, just all picked up from putting on the roller blades. It's been over 15 years since the last snowboard ride. Prior to that 2 times snowboarding. Since I moved closer to the mountains, I decided to do it more often. Last season I rode 6 times, as I wasn't sure if my body could keep up. I have a season pass this year and expect to be riding multiple times more than last season. Good luck have fun stay safe.

[@Eric-wc6bg]

@@mankybrains Thanks for the reassurance. I am still fairly athletic as I keep in decent shape. Roller skate, roller blades, skate board, wake board, water ski, you name it, I have probably done it. I think that all plays a factor as well as confidence and I feel 8.5/10 confident it's going to be fairly smooth next week. We are going to the be on the mountain 2 days of the trip so should definitely make some progress.

[@static_motion]

@@Eric-wc6bg How did it go for you?

[@Eric-wc6bg]

@@static_motion It went great! Honestly, about what I expected. I was at the top of the mountain within about 1 hour and making turns by the end of the first day. I accomplished what I wanted to in my first 2 days on a snowboard (probably only around 6.5 hours total). Heel-side was my strongest but I would say toe-side was roughly 85% of what my heel-side ability was. Thoroughly enjoyed it. My tailbone still hurts and my R wrist still not fully functional lol

@@Eric-wc6bg That's awesome! Nice work. Pretty much mirrors my own first snowboarding experience last year as well. Going again in March and I'm stoked for it. Main goal will be picking up more speed because last year I was making very slow turns all the way down the slopes and keeping my skiing buddies waiting haha.

Malcolm, how hard are the runs you do your videos on? Green, blue?

[@malcolmmoore]

Depends on the lesson but yeah mostly wider blues and greens 😊✌️

[@eddivonn]

You have such a great way of explaining everything... How do I get lessons with you?

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 😊😊 all my info is in the description in the videos 🙌

How do you ride slush? I am beginner. One day I have good curving. It rains overnight and next day, my curving is all over the place. I have no control on my speed, curving radius and forcing me into J turns!

Hello malcom im watching a lot of your video but I have a problem. I ride goofy but when I ride with one foot i ride regular. What should I do ?

[@malcolmmoore]

Strange problem, either learn to ride with one foot in the other way, or just work with it!

[@sigilin1902]

@@malcolmmoore thanks for the response. yes next time i hit the slopes i ll try using the right foot when unstraped, trying to learn switch too, your tutorial how to ride switch helped a lot thanks!

Hey Malcolm, video idea for you: How to ride steep slopes (or steeper slopes)

[@malcolmmoore]

It's been filmed, hopefully out before Christmas!
