Always love watching you snowboard. I learn just from looking at you. You can post as many snowboard runs as you like. Don't even have to put music on or talk. Leave the natural sound of the slish slash and people in the background.

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome thanks!

@@malcolmmoore Please do one without you talking, but mic on, grunts, and whoops whoops!

It's always a pleasure witnessing an accredited expert demonstrate a passion and joy for the sport. Thank you!

I would love more videos of you just enjoying a run. This was chill AF.❤

[@a12i9]

Yes, please!

[@wakayama1991]

you make me sick, Malcolm! Sick with envy - envy that I am probably 10% of the snowboarder you are (I know, I'm inflating my own abilities there...), envy that I don't live closer to such beautiful places and runs, and envy that I cannot benefit from your in-person training! But... This year, after a 15 year break from boarding - kids came along - and after watching what seems like hundreds of your very, very excellent instructional videos, I took my 55 year old ass and two of those kids - my daughters - to the mountains. I thought these old bones would suffer, but using your advice to hone my technique, not only did I get through the week unscathed, but also managed to get my two girls addicted to snowboarding. I was so proud of my 9 year old especially, she really had to struggle to keep up with her 15 year old sister at first, but she always made sure we were last off the mountain each day, and by the end of the week she was outperforming her sis, and tackling the reds. I really look forward to taking them again, and they can't wait to go. You did that. If not all, then the largest proportion, as I was able be a conduit for your advice, and get them into good habits and carving, well, if not from day one, then day three at least. You're a good man, a great 'tuber, and a superb teacher. Thank you, from me and my two new snowboarders :)

Same here , after the initial panic is over i get the calm Malcolm in my head "your weight is not where it supposed to be", and that helps :) I struggled on gentle green , i went back watched some vids from Malcolm, got back on the slopes it clicked and i had fun on Blue runs , happy with myself i get a call from wife "i've seen that guy you always watch on YT and told his vids are super helpful and he's doing supper job" that made my day :) So Malcolm you're helping a lot of people to enjoy Snowboarding . Thanks :)

Malcolm - looking for a wide board then buy a Donek. My boards are 157cms in length. 318mm at the waist and 357 at the tip and tail (11m sidecut radius). For an 8.7m side cut you're looking at 308mm waist. You will never look back.

[@Jon-Chan]

Really enjoyed this video👍. Your instructional videos are great, but it’s also great you mix it up a little and just film different runs that you enjoy and show us how it’s really done! Hope you do more of these😉

Lovely vid! Have been slush slashing in April together with my son in Austria, too. Was so good fun! I like spring snow conditions very much and the nice sunny weather in the mountains adds to that and makes those days just awesome. Also best time to learn some new tricks and jumps imo because one falls sooo softly. ;) Keep on riding. Peace!

Is this the “get lower” video I’ve been requesting since I found you? Yes! Finally. You can still get much lower though. Great!

[@DjBaapreB]

Happy to have you back! So good to see you flow. I’ve been practising switch and made some nasty slams. I’m sure you already made a video about it. Some pointers would still be appreciated.

[@malcolmmoore]

Yeah I got a switch video back there somewhere, but I'll make another one next season for sure!

[@AlexanderGeorgiev-Marck]

I appologize, but since the info is limited about Stranda and i am kind of intriguite by the brand and especially Biru, i would like to ask some more questions about the board. 1.How heavy it is? 2.These "pumps" on the edge which which we have with Mervin brands and Jones, are they effective with Stranda on icy conditions? 3.How do you find the base? For me Jones and Capita provide best bases are Stranda base is good for you. Of course waxing the board is always critical. Great videos. Trying to learn from you.

[@moontothemoon4445]

What ski resort is it? Very beautiful!

[@Meddy813]

[@AirZeee]

Making me want to sell up & head to the mountains full time. ❤😂

[@malcolmmoore]

Do it!

[@evanjohnson1740]

I think of it like this, you need the skill and ability to execute that skill in a controlled manner in order to navigate variable terrain. Just like in any sport, you break down fundamentals to apply them in a game (which would be riding the mountain) which isn't perfect slope etc.

[@donnfelkeryt]

Malcom, as a fellow large foot rider (size 14 shoe here) I also wanted a wide board. Check out the Lib Tech Stump Ape. Nice and wide and perfect for us big foot guys. Great board.

[@AlexanderGeorgiev-Marck]

I totally agree with you. There are days in my snowboarding when I just enjoy the mountains and snowboarding without experiments and attempting new tricks. Please make a review of Stranda snowboards. I checked this brand, but your opinion is much more valuable for me than what is wirtten on the brand webpage.

[@malcolmmoore]

It's a great board, carves really well, rides powder really well, it's not great in the park but I didn't get it for that!

[@Beltan83]

@malcolmmoore, Malcom if you ever felt like it, can you please explain the ratio of Board width to Boot size, in one of your videos ? the reason I'm asking, is that I wear boots size 11.5 US and have been riding wide boards ( normally width size>260mm) or longer boards over 160cm, I would love to know what would be the good/safe range, or width to boot/binding size ratio is. I feel like I'm missing out on so many good boards in the market to ride :(

[@iamtimur4795]

pure joy to see that, especially knowing that my season is over :(

[@_PadelAddiction]

Hi Malcolm! Unrelated question. Is it possible to resort snowboard during the month of May in the Alps ? and if so what's the best resort for it? Val Thorens, Val d'Isère or other? in Alpe d'Huez? and are you still doing lessons? Thanks!

[@NateH8_05]

Love your tutorials, could you possibly make a tutorial on how to ride through glades/trees?

[@malcolmmoore]

I don't really have many trees where I am unfortunately, they stop growing at around 1800m here, and it rarely snows much lower than that!

[@user-sl5re2pt1c]

Hey, Malcolm! Your videos have helped me progress so much! I’m having one problem though, my heel side turns are way shorter than my toe side turns. I feel a bit unstable when I’m taking big turns on my heel edge (from toe to heel with early edge change, so I’m heel side before I face the fall line). I think I’m most uncomfortable when my board is in the fall line during the turn so I always rush through until my heel edge is traversing across the slope, then I feel stable again. How do I fix this so I can take big turns on mellow slopes? And thanks for all the videos you’ve brought us, you explain in a way that is very easy to understand and your videos have really got me hooked on snowboarding!

[@unfa]

This season is over, having this in mind could you share some exercises that could keep beginners in shape before the next one starts and make the start of next season easier. Through they year i always forget what hurts the most ...

[@playingcasually]

I'm amazed how you can keep talking non-stop and keep most of your breath over an 8 minute run

[@ArPak831]

Malcolm! On a different note, Might I ask you about your Biru? How does it feel flex wise compared to your older boards that you ride? What size are you riding and what stance angles?

[@malcolmmoore]

I'm on the 156, or 157? Not sure, the biggest one anyway. It's about as stiff as I like to go, I still like to be able to bend the board a bit and for some freestyle. The stiffness definitely makes it carve well and hold an edge, I really like it, it kills it in powder as well. I've ridden it alot this season but I do appreciate also having a true twin park board (nidecker sensor plus) for when I want to jib about more.

[@malcolmmoore]

+15 -12

[@adpbobcat]

If youre looking for a fatty, i recommend the weston hatchet. The 152 with a 27.3 waist is an all around board. Good for pow and it rips the groomer. They also have a 156 at a 28 waist too Since you're one of the bigger snowboarding channels, i would reach out to them since not many people have heard of them
