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!!!!

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!

good stuff! clear, concise, and free of ego. been snowboarding for 32 years and still learning everytime i go out on the mtn.

[@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.

[@dougritchie6870]

What a eureka moment this video was. I've got the backplate on my binding angled forward thinking it would help give me a better carve and stop the judder, never thought it could be contributing due to overly aggressive turns! Thank you!

[@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

One of my biggest issues when I went from green to blue runs. Super helpful as always Malcolm. Love how you always bring this to science. Gravity, momentum, strong position to overcome the force. Super simple when you think about it. Executing - now that’s something else. 😂 I had my forward lean at max when on greens but when I transitioned to blues or steeps, I had a lot of issues. Dialing it back as Malcolm suggests = game changer. If you are having issues, dial it back a bit.

[@exorder2005]

Some steeps you just can't carve, that should be mentioned as well.

[@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....

[@D1zz3H]

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!

[@malcolmmoore]

Awesome, thanks David!

[@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!

[@roblowe9846]

Thank you. Adjusting the binding heel angle almost completely cured my heel side issues. Nice video!

[@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!!!

[@carkdonwah1528]

Great vid. In La Plange this week and was heel side juddering all over the place. So glad I watched this vid as it was just the high back set too far forward. Dialled it back and hey presto no more judder! Thanks Malcolm great instruction as always.

[@cube63]

Thanks for the super in depth breakdown! This is why you are the best snowboard instructor on KZbin. Love to see you repping the Jones outerwear, seems we both made the same choice of outerwear for this season! Reviews coming soon?

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks! The Jones is becoming my uniform to teach in, but I'm sure it'll appear in videos that I film after teaching too, really good outerwear, and then I'll still have a set from yuki threads that will probably be used more in my vids going forwards!

[@Dr_Bombay]

this is so helpful! i get heel judder pretty often, and i always thought it was because i was going too fast and not staying over my board enough (which i guess is partly true). My intuition was telling me i need to make smaller/sharper turns, but i didn't know for sure if it was true, or why... and you explain it perfectly. Looking forward to trying your tips out next time i'm on the slopes. Thanks!

[@TStunta]

So much help. I recently moved to going down my lift's steeper blue run and I was getting a lot of toe judder on some of my carving, I didn't think too much edge was a problem lol. I can see how I was killing my downward momentum too soon, by too much edge too quickly now.

[@AasirAliKhan-f8n]

You are amazing Malcolm, havent even reached the hell judder mastery level yet but still totally understood how it'd feel and what would i do. Thanks a million ❤

[@rasheedabiola1956]

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. I increased my forward lean and though the response was great, I started have loads of judder on my heel side. I think this is the first video that points out the negatives of forward lean especially for people who ride trees, steeps and bumps. I took my forward lean off and it went away. Lack of forward lean guarantees a low edge angle when you start your turn and allows you creates more of a stable base and allows the ability to gradually create a high edge angle. Thanks!

Thanks Rasheed 🙏🙏

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 🤙

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?

According to Nev Lapwood (Snowboard addiction) many beginners judder out because of riding with their legs too straight while bending at the waist, so they're not able to manage pressure especially on the heelside. For that particular scenario he encourages using more forward lean to force oneself to ride with the knees more bent. Just wanted to throw that tip into the mix. Great video as always!

[@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.

[@ryanstage3912]

Always found the lesson of not boarding the fast line slow and instead boarding the slow line fast as the biggest help. I found the judders for me came from trying to bleed off speed through skid turns rather than bleeding off speed by my carve direction. Variations in snow condition and board types also make a huge difference as I noticed in a new advanced board I bought that will make you pay dearly for any lazy skid turns. Love the board as it forces me to carve correctly but wow does it wear me out.

[@RodrigoeBeta]

Amazing tips. I love carving hard on mellow turns, but I'm always fighting heel judder on steeper slopes by trying to add more pressure on my front foot, which makes transitioning to a toeside turn longer (and therefore, more time traversing, which on tight/crowded slopes is not very useful). I'll try tomorrow to lower my edge angle first to see if it gets better without changing my high back angle (I use K2 Clicker X HB which I love, but having only 4 angles sucks :[). Thanks!

[@happydog529]

Excellent explanation. I always had trouble understanding why I have heel judder sometimes. Thanks Malcolm!

[@jokermtb]

good explanation - I've been boarding since 1997, and every once in a while when I'm getting a little aggressive and rushing making my high angle turns on steeper terrain, there comes the judder - or what usually happens when I blast thru some chunk during a turn, and not exactly fully in control upon resuming my turn, I've landed in too high an angle situation - instant judder. It' happens when you're either pushing too hard, or not paying attention or both! ha - love the judders as it's a good reminder. While sometimes it topples you, often can be dissipated by relaxing and doing what you suggest. Great tips for people just beginning to experience the next level stuff.....

[@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.

On the board after two years off it, and then the first weekend at Chamrousse and this kept happening.

[@Jasonlimitless]

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

[@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.

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.

[@malcolmmoore]

Thanks 😊😊

[@beeegeeedeee]

Nice explanation and video. You are spot on, it is too much edge angle , but also factor in snow conditions and speed, it does not happen in soft snow or at slower speeds. When one feels this happen back off the edge angle and open up the turns or slow down (and bend the knees a little bit more to absorb any furthur chatter now you know it's there). Same thing can happen, depending on snow conditions, if you put too much edge into a heel/toe edge stop from speed.

[@malcolmmoore]

Absolutely 👌

[@beeegeeedeee]

@@malcolmmoore You got me thinking - so for a consistent snow condition, let’s say the surface is just soft enough to get a nice edge, at a consistent speed, as one reduces the radius of the turn the centrifugal force (is a force to simplify this explanation) will increase mvv/r. At some point as the edge angle increases and the turn radius decreases the grip provided by the edge of the board is less than the centrifugal force and it releases, then regrips, causing the chatter. Hence increase the turn radius or lower the speed.

I consider myself at least a intermediate rider but this will help me on my first trip to Whistler this winter on a big hill. Thankyou!

Awesome, enjoy Whistler!

Great explanation. I have had that problem and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. 👍

[@malcolmmoore]
