Catching an edge is the worst! Scraped my knees the first time. Bruised my tailbone the second time. Learned my lesson and the third time showed up with butt pads, knees pads, wrist braces, shoulder pads, elbow pads, back pads, and of course helmet. All in a sudden I was the coolest kid on the mountain. I’d be human canon-balling down the slope after falling and roll myself into a big snowball and standup at the bottom of the hill, dust off, and hop back on the lift. Board or skis are totally optional at this point and just for style 👍🤘

[@ironcladpc8064]

East/Ice Coast rider here...I came FLYING down a run yesterday, in freezing rain that was coating the run in a sheet of ice, caught a heel edge, ragdolled and slammed my left shoulder into the hardpack which jerked my neck WAY too far left, and did a literal backflip in the air and somehow landed upright on my board again. My shoulder and neck are pretty sore but it could have ended up far worse...I was very lucky.

[@neilramcharitar5822]

The new video quality is amazing!! The shooting, the editing, the colouring is just perfect.

[@Delijohn]

One very common way to catch an edge, even if you're not a beginner is when you're in catwalks and flat parts in general. When speed is high, it's easy to adjust. In flat parts, if you don't fully lean forward and don't use your edges, it's easy to catch an edge and fall... same for button lifts or T-bars..

[@Raiders1234]

The worst edge I ever caught was on a flat track going from one run to another.

[@gn02097230]

100% agree to this, i just broke my collarbone in the flat parts catching edge. Not in the blue, green or black runs but on flat surface.

[@sushicommander]

Same, just bruised my tailbone on a flat part between a blue and a black.

[@gregoryf9299]

Same: my worst edge catch was on a flat run out. But I was going fast (but inexperienced) , board started to wander to the left, caught my front edge, and did a huge splat under a chair lift. Took my breath away, board smacked me on my back, and I just had to lay there while people above are like “You ok???” Eventuall gave them a thumbs up. Still hurts to think about it, 20yrs ago, lol!

[@venomousjedi]

Dude I know you get this all the time, but you give off the best fricken vibes in your content, I absolutely love how much fun you have on your board and how smooth you make it look, when you look at the average boarder or even some of the best, with how easy you make it look and how creative you are with playing around its inspiring to be even a quarter of your skill, keep it up man we all appreciate you so much.

[@Gary-np7hl]

you got a bad hip tommie..... you don't need to take a dive for the team! stay healthy, my friend. good vid/advice as always. gonna have to try some of these drills, i really don't have much confidence on features in the park.

I can't remember the last time I caught an edge, I usually only fall from slip-outs, but your spinning drills are still something I want to work on. Thanks,Tommie.

[@xXTensaXxX]

Hey Tommie! Just wanted to say that I’ve been digging pretty much all of your videos lately, and you’re an amzing rider and teacher! You’re living the dream of a lot of us, to make their your living out of what you love the most. I hope you heal up soon and keep on doing what you’re doing, hoping to become as great as you one day! 😊

[@mjxyz8]

Im new to snowboarding and my first time riding this season i caught my toe side and dislocated a rib. Painful but I feel im making progress and starting to get the hang of it. Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@El-Berto]

Dude dislocated rib sounds impossible and very painful

[@KaiSoPro]

I always catch an edge in the flat parts LMAO. Thanks for this

[@klarson7842]

Always so stoked for new TommieB content and this one did not disappoint. Sick drills and love the editing.

[@zakaroonetwork777]

I caught a heal side edge at the top take off ramp of a giant table top at speed for a back flip. landed on my tailbone and ended my pro snowboarding career in 1997 just as I was about to start riding with Burton. 27 years later I'm now just getting back into Snowboarding. That event had spun me into many years of depression. I feel like I'm ready to Live Again.

[@MaxD.]

My sister’s fiancé is a sick snowboarder and on the last run of the day this year, he caught a huge edge and tore his AC joint in a class 5 separation in his shoulder. Definitely can’t get complacent when so much speed is involved.

[@lachlanroche1373]

Bruh it’s always the last runs I swear

[@christophergruenwald5054]

@@lachlanroche1373 it definitely is. My 12 y/o daughter ran into a tree the other day on the very last run of the day. She’s ok, but yeah, those just one more runs will get you.

Thank you. I'll try these exercises next time 🙂🙂

Amazing color grading and editing! It's apparent that a lot of work has been put into making the video!

[@DjBaapreB]

Grandmaster T! Thanks. The tip of leaning with my frontfoot into the front of my boot (where the shin touches the boot) really helped me.!!

[@christophergruenwald5054]

That editing was sick Tommie. I felt like I had a concussion watching that part. I caught an edge this weekend Ollie frontside 180. Landed on my shoulder and neck. No concussion, but I wrenched my already messed up neck. I didn’t let that ruin my day though.

[@moeyali123]

Currently in Japan, haven’t skiid in 7 years but I’ve boarded 2 days so far and I love it so much I’m going back for a third day tomorrow. Hit a fat edge today and slammed my ribs so tomorrow I’ll work on edges

Thanks TB!! 🤙

[@rustynailriders8211]

MY edge catches are usually lack of concentration. One of my painful slams was riding on my heel edge. Had a bud catching up from behind. He yelled my name and I rotated my body to the right to look back up hill. When my shoulders rotated, I guess my hips did to and BOOM. total face slam. Learned when on heel edge, only look uphill over my left shoulder and vice versa for my toe edge.

[@hihokie]

Looking back has nothing to do with it. Dropping the clearance of the edge above the snow to make contact with the snow is what caused it. Not learning how to look back isn't exactly safe riding. Just keep concentration on having enough edge clearance while looking around.

[@reptilesgamers00]

I went snowboarding today with no instruction. I went straight down hill probably twenty miles per hour and caught an edge. I did Three flips. Surprisingly I didn't get injured.

[@daviddalton3981]

Liked the shifty edge transitions with quick tempo

[@ljshoreslokal]

Been boarding for over 20 years and narrow flat cat tracks are my kryptonite. Hate them. I have to stay heel or toe or I’ll catch an edge.

[@KelJud]

It doesn’t tickle, that’s for sure. I had some pretty black and blue knees when I very first started. I’m improving but this still is a problem for me sometimes. Thanks for the helpful video!

[@chili8414]

Caught an edge yesterday going fast down a blue. I fell forward, scraped the top of my helmet on the snow and landed back on my board. Hope it never happens again 😂

[@raresr79]

I cant wait for the tehnology to allow me to download Tommie's skills into my brain

[@truongnguyenquang93]

This isn't something I send my kids to the MT with, but it's perfect for them both ages 6 & 9 to learn a home. I'm pleased with the purchase.

[@Kdash66]

My worst edge catch was at the end of a run. I was just casually coasting to the lift line and caught a toe side edge that got me winded when i suddenly dropped to my chest while simultaneously scorpioning so hard smacking my head with my board. Good thing i had my helmet on but damn, it happens when your guard is down and least expect it.

[@bengorge9417]

I was fixing my mitten while going really fast without tilting the snowboard. I dislocated my shoulder after catching an edge. It was painful and I have paid attention to be on either one edge since.

[@diegosocold4767]

If you spin back in the opposite direction you can unwind your dizzy

[@benh2134]

Have to try them out. Caught an edge last season that broke a rib. Always up for not repeating that mistake

[@donkeyavenger]

I'm a pretty new snowboarder and learned the hard way looking back while on my heel edge was a bad idea and caught my front edge landing on my ribs and fracturing them on ice

wish i saw this earlier lol wasnt paying attention + tired n caught my first major frontside edge n went to ER. was breathless for a few seconds n its taken an year to heal

[@jennifervanhoutert7370]

do you have a video covering the speed you need on jumps to land well?

[@ChrisMason.333]

I just broke my scaphoid today catching an edge. First season back after about ten years all geared up and stoked. Second time out season may be over. Pretty bummed out. Sad. I used to rip, after so much time off it the transfer from heel side to toe side that gets me. Was just starting to get confident again too.

[@Username-yp5zu]

Great video. Content + editing (Y)

[@SugmaDLigmaNutz]

I have also found that hybrid shapes tend to be less catchy. If you're still a beginner, start with a hybrid shape board. Don't recommend full camber boards for someone that is still learning.

[@DiegoTheWolf]

I can do the drill you described frist instinctively well, but i catch my edge when I initiate the backside turn when riding toeside ...

[@Readit4Life_2Chron7_14]

I really like this video breakdown of just where one catches an edge and drills to help you avoid these catches. Love the drills. I can ride steeper runs and few bumps. BUT, for some reason, I can't keep my self from falling/catching an edge once in a while on the catwalks, the green runs that are flat or just any flat area. I'm baffled by this. The only way I can do these flat areas is by riding switch. It's weird. I would love to hear what you have to say to help us folks not catch an edge on the flats.

[@teemuhamalainen7059]

On flat area there is less room between the slope and the board, se the edge of the board ”bites” the slope easier. In steep slope you have more room to move your board before catching an edge.

[@Readit4Life_2Chron7_14]

@@teemuhamalainen7059 Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the mechanical reason why I bite the dust on the flats. A blogger showed this physically on their blog. Guess I was wondering why after all these years I still catch that edge on flats? AND mainly asking what riding techniques I can used to at least decrease the chances of me dong the slam especially on my heel side edge?

[@sebjan180]

@@Readit4Life_2Chron7_14 I saw another video that suggested to make sure to always intentionally using an edge, eg, instead of just riding flat, do carving turns back and forth, even on flats.

Change playback speed on the video

[@jasonburton5092]

For people watching on your phone, press on the little cog symbol in the upper right corner of the video, that is settings, then scroll down to playback speed. It will say "normal", press on that to see speed options. Go to the drills in the video, change it to .25 to see the drills done slowly. He will sound like he is totally drunk, but his explanation and demonstration of the drills will be super clear.

[@fullsend9076]

I just started this year and whenever i go there has been 3-4 inches of fresh snow on the slope is it normal to feel like i have to pull my back leg around to initiate that turn? Or am i rushing the turn putting stress on my gear and legs tiring myself out?

I caught my toe edge last April slammed onto my chest doing 25kph ish. Was riding a cat track with a flat board. Best I can guess my board got bumped 90 degrees by some hard packed snow instant chest to ground. It messed up my Xiphoid process, still painful today. 😔

[@ojsannals6877]

I knocked myself out from catching an edge. End of a run, steep-ish hill at end so went fast to make it back to the gondola and I was going fast on a straight flat (I think I was switching edges) and slammed hard back of helmet, broke the helmet and KOd me. Knocked my confidence a lot pardon the pun

[@mariusskrupskis2042]

ANCHOR is the worst, its when you f up your trick/jump/rail and are mid air falling on your back, but edge hits ground first. Had that one and my neck did not like it :|

hey bro look ive been snowbording for 4 or 5 years now and even tho i dont go very much im pretty good at it because i do other board sports but the problem for me comes when going fast on a straight line instead of doing turns, thats usually when i catch and edge and its a biggg hitt. how can i not catch and edge when going on a str8 line fast?

[@2ambriella]

My issue is catching an edge when I'm going really fast and that's when it really hurts. Any tips?

[@BigBird-]

I have no edges I ground them to a 24’ (degree) angle (more for messing around on fallen trees then edge catching) but don’t just go and do this you have to learn to really know your board and body cause you basically have no edge. Horrible on icy days. I’ll move the edge 11’ on icy days

[@specolour8780]

Catching an edge is so painful one time in one run i catched an edge and landed on my head the 2 times then the next run i caught another edge and like did a flip and landed on my back and then i had back pain for like a week and my head hurted me for like 2 days

[@RealEastCoastJ]

Catching edges are definitely the worst. Few days ago I caught toe side edge right at the lip of the jump while going for a fs 360.Shit sent me into a corked front flip right to my ass😭Last run too ,killed all my confidence after stomping them all day .Feel like I didn’t pop of 2 feet that time, hopefully that never happens again lol
