In this snowboard video I've got some tips to help you fix the three most common problems with snowboard turns.

[@masterJunny]

Poor guy caught that edge really good! Even funnier is that he was doing exactly what Kev is advising against

I watched it 3 times haha.

[@seth5394]

when was it? can’t find it

[@seth5394]

nvm

[@alexnljnpr]

@@seth5394 why didn't you post the timecode if you found it?

[@CalebA]

The problem with the twist is that when you are in that twisted posture there is no way for your body to compress from that point. So if a bump or unexpected piece of terrain comes up and you're in that position, you're basically like a straight stick. There is no way for your body to go except out of control.

[@KitKat-vq3wu]

Who saw the guy in the back catch an edge when the vid started😂😂

[@appa9685]

Talking about problems while turning bro lead by example 😂

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yooo

[@trin_ity_]

RIP edge bro ✊😔

[@meanmole3212]

That looked like he willingly put his toes down while having his front body facing the moving direction and said to himself "guess I'll die". Good thing is that it looked like a smooth fall without banging head on the ground all things considered.

[@l3nn0x]

Seen? I felt it xD Keep practicing, folks!

[@Mystique1633]

Really grateful for this channel. At times I see instructors yelling at students for making such mistakes. That actually discourages them a lot and the whole experience becomes negative. Your videos have allowed me to correct my mistakes at my own pace and progressed to another level. We sometimes take videos of each other to make sure we're not making those mistakes you've outlined. Many thanks!!!^^^^ from a country with no snow

[@SnowboardProCamp]

So happy you found this video helpful! Where are you from?

Omg!! I see a lot of snowboarders with poor form like this and I tried to copy them. I felt something was off but now I know why. Super useful as always!

[@robofurious]

Thanks so much for posting this! It's my second full-on season and I need these reminders!

[@wastedpotential0507]

Kevin, your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these. It’s going to be my first season Snowboarding this December, and I can’t wait. I’ve made an entire playlist and watch a few of them each night. My wife finds it funny when she sees me practising my stance in front of the TV. Lol.

[@GoodrumMC]

This video was golden!

[@titusm]

THAAANK YOU:) it helped me a lot today -- no 2 and 3 :)). i remembered while "leafing"....why my legs hurt so much:)).. And...no.2- facing the slope with your body helped A LOT. It took a while to let go but being a heavy rider the correct turning is very important. otherwise i would only gain more speed that can become very scary. I combined this video with the carving video for best results:D I never thought i would say this...but :)) i kinda' learned snowboarding from your videos.

[@travissk5036]

Great tips. Thankyou

[@vsquared2020]

Can you do a video on steeper train and how not to twist on that?

[@ShredAheadSnowboarding]

Is it breaking at the waist or bending over at the hip joint? Generally caused by the rider looking down at the feet i.e. ground! Correct posture.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

I think they’re kinda the same thing.

[@jjaafar]

Always a fan, man. What is the name of this resort? Cheers!

[@paoloequizi5957]

Ok, these are the common mistakes, but can you advise how to avoid sliding on the butt when exiting a back curve on an edge with a bit of a slope on the descent? Any video to explain? Thank you so much!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Doing a longer toe turn will help! Also adjust your highbacks more forward. Will help too!

[@paoloequizi5957]

@@SnowboardProCamp thank you sir!

[@peterhoughton1731]

The heals of your boots may well be further out than the edge of the board, hence on a steeper slope you end up riding your heals rather then the metal edge of your board and you end up on your butt. Answer.... get a wider board.

[@paoloequizi5957]

@@peterhoughton1731 That's a really good point Peter! I already have a wide board than I will try to put the bindings a bit forward.. 🤙

[@peterhoughton1731]

The bigger your feet the bigger the problem. Many riders are riding with overhanging toe/heal and suffer falls on a regular basis and think its their fault when actually many 'standard width' snowboards are not fit for use on steeper pisted terrain and deep carving. My board has a 295cm waist and I no longer have this problem, on the toe or heal edge. Check out Ryan Knapton on you tube he has developed extra wide boards and rides them amazingly well. Search 'Ryan knapton smooth snowboarding' Also 'how to really really carve' parts 1 to 14. May the force be with you.😀

[@BlaznAzyn]

How much did you have to pay that guy to catch an edge in the beginning?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

😂

[@a150goat3]

What are a good and comfy snowboard boots to buy i am flat footed so comfort is paramount Thank you

[@sashomedia]

As always great tips!

[@azel8rrp169]

I made the mistake of buying a Zumiez snowboard package as my first gear. I can't find any reviews on the board brand. Did I make a huge mistake? 😬

[@joe.nail1]

No just ride

[@guy5330]

About that breaking about the waste. I've noticed I tend to do it when I squat a bit lower, which I do in uneven terrain to be able to handle the bumps. However, when I stand more straight I would just fall over backwards. I guess it's the way with my body because I'm quite tall and most of it is coming from my legs. So when squating, my center weight is naturally more overhanging which I need to compensate for. Is this reasonable or is it something to work on?

[@kolbylaing2953]

Which ski resort is that?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

This is at Northstar.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

😬 it’s a treacherous run!

[@kimw7351]

Ok, I find myself soooo much more comfy on my toes & I keep eating it when I try heelside! I’m goofy on a skateboard, but it seems that my body wants me to be regular on a snow board. Could that be why I’m not getting the hang off heels yet? Granted, I’ve only gone up once! 😂

[@avlehtine]

What’s the issue? Loosing the front, the back, catching the toe edge, heel judder? When I was doing my first heel turns. I realized more forward lean on the hibacks helped me push against them more and made the whole thing more stable. Also I had to put more weight on my back foot than I realized (as soon as I was in the turn).

[@mamukagogiberidze734]

where is this mountein ? what is this area ?

Love the Chanel 🙏🙏 How about conter Rotation when breking hard. Also do you have a video for stoping on red and back. Sometimes My snowboard jumping like crazy and then i crash (only when the speed i hige 🤣🤣

[@Picpic86]

3:45 he saw a camera, he try something, but i don't know this trick, it's a new? ^^

[@liu23usc]

LAMO... 0:03 that guy in the background completely ate it....

[@GTCrais]

Love this channel, but still a hard disagree from me on the "twisting motion" "problem". I don't think it's bad technique / practice to slow down that way, and it's very effective. Also, I feel very stable doing that. You just have to practice putting equal pressure on both feet, rather than putting most of it on the front foot.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Twisting is definitely good to do sometimes. The problems is when it’s the only way you know how to turn.

[@DaveDBD]

@@SnowboardProCamp I always use a twisting motion to cruise around moguls or on really icy terrain. Is there a better technique? Because I need to heave the board around quickly to not crash into the moguls or if I initiate a normal slow turn on ice I will also crash. So is twisting the board around with your body an acceptable technique in such situations or are there better ones?
