STOP HEEL JUDDER NOW (advanced snowboarding tips)

[@felipe2fp]

Beginner here with just 3 days of snowboard: your channel is real gem. I'm studying every video, will apply all of it during 2 weeks before go to banff. Let'ts see what I will got!

[@malcolmmoore]

Heck yeahh hope they help!! Enjoy Banff 🙌🙌

[@felipe2fp]

@@malcolmmoore it truly helped!!! Your video about early edge changes was absolutely crucial to avoid catch edges. Body down and up before turn is a incredible strategy to start turn. Torsional twist is still something trick but I used today in a steep blue and helped to turn fast to control speed. Today was my 7nd day of snowboard and I could bomb a blue, so fuck yeah your videos and deep explanation was very helpful. Thanks!!!!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, great attitude you got there 🙌

[@91Pulp]

Your explanation makes sense to me as a beginner. Any time I experience judder, I usually end up falling backward, suggesting I'm trying to carve at too much of an angle.

[@CYMRU619]

Too much angle is unlikely to be your problem if you're a beginner... Unless you've already mastered carving at aggressive angles. More likely not enough edge pressure and weight over your heelside edge, causing the board to want to skid from underneath you.

[@Bizm4rk]

More than likely you're standing up too straight and this is throwing your centre of gravity off. Happened to me quite a lot. Also found out my bindings weren't properly centered and had too much heel-overhang which wasn't helping with it.

[@cjwaasdorp2478]

@@CYMRU619 true. Though can happen from too much angle if your boots/binding drag. Happens to me on thinner boards as I've got big feet. Likely not pulp's problem unless you also run large for boot size like I do.

[@IanCreel]

This helps so much. The part that really hit home for me was around 5:30 in where talks about carrying your energy sideways across the hill at the end of your turn instead of pointing your body downhill, helping to dissipate that energy. Awesome stuff Malcolm.

[@someonespotatohmm9513]

A yes because physics care about the direction you are looking... I am not saying it doesn't help, but I think the reason it works is because it forces you top place your weight more above your board. This reduces the pressure on your edge because you don't have to counteract the center of mass offset, ontop of the force to change your direction.

[@pangtsr]

@@someonespotatohmm9513 thank you! That “look forward to make your momentum go forward” was a super cringe moment. But yeah, maybe the stance difference helps somehow

Exactly the issue i have been struggling with since I started doing harder slopes. I started feel uncomfortable because I picked up too much speed too fast and often ended up juddering because of this. I will try to take these tips with me when I go to Austria next week. And also test out my Insta x3! Thank you for this awesome channel! My friends and I always watch your content. Love it!

[@CurrentlyFishing]

As I was finishing last season (also my 1st) and I was getting comfortable with speed and carves, I'd almost always get these jutters and I couldn't understand why. Ironically enough, I thought I needed MORE edge 😅 one thing you mentioned that I immediately recognized was facing down the mountain instead of where I'm going. I think for me that'll be a game changer. Thank you for these videos!!!

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@Ksoism]

Gotta say, especially helpful to me is the science WHY something happens. It makes it easier to react accordingly to something you are doing wrong, when you actually understand why stuffs happening. You don't need to remember the wise words of The Elders of Snowboarding, you have understanding. That's (only one of many things) where this channel is gold.

[@malcolmmoore]

@@Ksoism sorry for the late response, but many thanks 🙏

[@alejolopezdearmentia2157]

This was super helpful. I have the same problem and I always thought it was because I want gripping the edge hard enough so I would put more into it making it worse... It's a matter of timing and makes perfect sense... Can't wait to try it out....

[@Jasonlimitless]

Very helpful! 95% of my falls are always because of this and also on steep runs!

[@sebastianmetz]

My personal solution to this became leaning forward, or more on the front leg. I always had the feeling that when judder appeared is when I (aligns with it happening on steeper slopes and rougher terrain) was not committing enough into the turn. This also pays into your point with facing the direction of travel rather than the falling line. Thanks for addressing this! Keep it up!

[@DesignRobPearce]

Rewatching this in Bankso. You gave me a lesson last year which was great in Alpe D’Huez but tend to overthink heel edge during the turn and catch heel judder. Think you’re right - look more up the slope

[@mountain_ginger]

Do be able to re create a problem and describe the theory is a true statement of a great instructor. Great job. Not every great snowboarder can teach their craft.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@Wickedsight]

I consider myself a pretty advanced snowboarder, being able to hit pretty much any slope either regular or switch, without issue. However, your videos are still teaching me stuff. Often it's stuff i'm already doing subconsciously, but knowing what you're doing can really help with consistency and setting the bar even higher. Great stuff and thanks for not just focusing on beginners or intermediate!

Happy to help! Glad you like the videos 😊😊

[@Grudzien34]

In my opinion you are the best snowboard teacher on youtube, great work, thank you.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks, I appreciate that 🙏

[@randallmarshall6068]

The second half really nailed it. What I find fixes this is opening up with my leading knee and more lateral movement to put weight on the nose, to pull the board forward. Judder is mixed signals where the board wants to go straight down the fall line and you're not giving it sufficient traverse command to move across the hill.

[@randallmarshall6068]

... keeping the nose at least 10 or 15° downhill instead of being perpendicular to the fall line is also a real good idea here (which means skidding). Judder is dangerously close to mousetrapping because of that perpendicular to the fall line board, the only thing saving you is your board edge way up, and of course that's asking for it to skid out and put you on your butt... Which is what happens to most people.

[@nakharininmontana6475]

Thank you for these videos! I’ve been able to hit black diamond after 9 days of snowboarding for the first time in my life without having any sports history! I still fall here and there but I feel so much more comfortable riding with steeper terrains and I have pretty much just learned how to snowboard from the scratch just watching your videos!

[@Negentropy369]

Mind if I ask which Mountain in Montana you're riding at? I work and now ride at Whitefish Mountain Resort, also just started snowboarding last Saturday(I have had 5 days riding so far) and have also improved extremely quickly thanks to this channel especially, along with a couple others. I haven't sent a black diamond quite yet, but I'm feeling pretty comfortable on the blues and will probably try a black soon. Anyways, I only asked where you were riding out of simple curiosity after relating to your comment so much, then noticing your username which indicates we are learning in the same State. If you're at Big Mountain I'd be interested to hear how you like it? I can get free passes there and have contemplated if a trip down there would be worth it to get the chance to ride another mountain, it's a pretty long drive but still.

[@jivkostoianov3607]

I suffered from this heel judder a long time. From several years it is no more. The solution that I found was most helpful and noticeable for me was that I began to bend my knees more. So when I feel too much judder on the heel side and come to a situation that I begin loosing control on the board, I just bend my knees more and extend the distance between them. This helps in 99% of the cases for me.

[@honzamares8120]

Thanks for the explanation. I would say I am becoming an "intermediate" snowboarder and I think I was getting the hang of fixing the judder myself just by the feel. However after this video I know exactly what to focus on,that "aha" moment! :) Thank you, I am really greatful for this.

I’m a noob (2 days of riding last year) and this is the biggest problem I had, bruised my tailbone so bad.

This year I’m probably not gonna make it out due to work but I’d like to try and apply these lessons and see I do.

[@patrickrobb]

Watched this with the 'toes up' video, which for me are very complimentary. Advice about going less on the forward lean completely changed my heel side carves. I had them jacked all the way forward since beginning and just assumed this would give best performance; but going half way has made such a difference. Combined with not make my toes reach for the heavans is a winner! Always a fan of your vids 🤙

Was the hit of the snow hill! Everyone wanted a turn! Nice long sturdy board and feet cushion area. Felt comfortable for the kids (ages 8-10) and us adults.

That is an outstanding video! Really informative! I had this issue during my education for the snowboard instructor and my teacher could not find the problem. Rlly stoked to try tomorrow! Thank you!

[@Scr3amapillar]

1st i wanna say: you´re a good instructor in your videos (and that´s all i see, so i don´t wanna say anything else). Now i start talking about MY opinion. The turns you made in the video are cool... for experts. A beginner doesn´t see your up´n´down motion in your knees. But this is very important, because it´s making more or less pressure over the track you let behind you (the S as a graphic you perfectly made). The up´n´down motion is the essence of making turns. And we have different possible techniques to make turns. You just showed one. And i as an expert couldn´t see an up´n´down motion (or the timing when you do it). But let´s not talk to much about every inch. The 2nd thing i´ve seen is the slope condition. On fresh prepared, soft snowed slopes (like in your video) you can make your turns with more tact. You get a better feeling back from the ground. On harder, icier or later on bumpier conditions (or all these 3 things together) turns aren´t that easy to execute. So you need a combination of angle, speed, technique and POWER in your legs. So for beginners: go slower and then start to increase speed and steepness. The 3rd thing is: be carefull out there. To train these things you need space (in front of you and below you). If you crash you need space to stop and stand up. If there is someone in front of you, then you have no chance to stop in a very short time and you crash into others (normaly) form behind. And that´s not funny at all. If you train take care of others. Always. And that´s it in short: conditions, steepness, fitness, speed, technique. And at least: which board do you ride? I mean the material you prefer (raceboard, freeride, all mountain, park). Finally: you brought very good tipps, but that video is not perfect and not everything. But if it helps, why not. You are very good explaining. Just a bit more detail in my opinion. If you think i´m wrong, just leave a comment and let´s talk about it. Hang loose, dude. 🤙

[@iamkeir]

I also see this in my students when their edge change is too late on steep terrain (closer to fall line), and they have to manage ALL the forces in the last portion of the turn, rather than managed progressively throughout the whole turn. Leads to “edge dumping”, and inevitable judder/blowout.

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah exactly, same results, early edge change is super important 👌

[@adam1887]

What about turning with the lower body - hips, knees, feet? If all you're doing is trying to tilt the board on edge in the steeps you're probably going to accelerate too much before you hit the fall line, which will result in a skid. Engage the edge early in the turn, turn with the lower body, and progressively increase that edge angle throughout the turn. Try to spray snow towards the sides of the run. That's how I like to teach it anyway.

[@bryanfreed7891]

As I began to aggressively carve I found the BEST thing for heel side judder or chatter was to get my butt close to the board. I mean low, like lo lo. If you stay extended your CG is not over the hill and if you push with your heels you are not pushing the edge into the snow you are pushing the board down the hill (judder). When you get lo lo your CG is much closer to being over the edge and it stays planted and the result is beautiful angular acceleration jollies. A wider stance *can* help enable this as it will get you room for your fat arse to fit in between the bindings -- good luck and happy ruts!

Is it possible there could be terrain where it cant be avoided? I started back up riding this week. 5th time out but the last time was 17 years ago so still very beginner. I was riding somewhere that was 60f degrees. Top layer of snow was mush with load of ice under. Because everyone was plowing it down the steep runs youd get a lot of inconsistent "traction". I was thinking there is really no hope of avoiding judder when you are on ice then slide into mush and back to ice. I was hoping the intermediate slopes would give me a good place to work on carving across the hill but just ended up with a judder fest! I found your vids while trying to get my wife and kids on boards this year(lifetime skiier) and love the way you break everything down! Has been the most helpful channel for sure!

Hi Malcolm your view might be juddering out on his heels because his legs might be to straight has he comes round. Good videos keep it up 🏂🏂

Hey Malcolm, I’ve got 2 ideas for Videos: 1.) Test and review some Boarding/skiing Apps like Slopes or Snoww. 2.) What to do on icy slopes. On our last vacation as a family we enjoyed using Snoww and Slopes. Great for finding each other in the resort. And I’ve been struggling on icy slopes, so if you’ve got some tips and tricks, I’d appreciate your input 👍 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Thanks for the ideas, never heard of either of those apps so I'll check them out!

Hell yeah. I'll keep this in mind tomorrow.

Hey Malcom, Rico from Oregon. Thank you for the video. Very good techniques. I truly appreciate your way to explain them and just makes it easier to remember them when at the slopes. Happy Shredding and Feliz Navidad.
