One addition (that really works for me) is that on skinny tracks your focus can narrow and that can induce nervousness, so open your head up and focus on where you want to go. Malcolm does this in the first demo, carving forward with lots of focus up and onwards!

Just a few hours ago arrived from the trip to the mountains. I am a good skier and tried snowboarding 3 years ago, but after one day I was too exhausted to continue ride it. This time I decided I give it another try and your videos are really helpful. I love how you talk about the feeling you should get while performing a turn, edge change etc. Also your lever analogy boosted my progress immensely. On a day 4 I am confident at sideslip turns at average frequency, after every fall I know exactly what I've done wrong, I am also confident making long carved turns on a flat - slightly steeper terrain, I am comfortable riding flat base and don't fall anymore riding it, I can also perform quick maneuver to change direction when it's important to do fast. Thank you so much for all your videos, as a technical person myself I really love the attention to detail you provide. Wish you all the best, Roma from Ukraine!

Loved this vid. Yes, narrow are also my nemesis. In particular when other skiers & boarders are flying past, its so difficult not to get nervous & stop. Then 99% of time catching an edge 🥴 Its very difficult in these situations not to lean back on hips & then picking up unwanted speed. Great tips here to change that. Fingers crossed. We'll see in March 😊

Another amazing video. As someone who can suffer from vertigo, even though I regard myself as a competent rider, these goat tracks really can be my nemesis (yep, I used that word too). Everything you say holds true for me, but I'd also add that I personally need to keep saying in my head "you have control, turn, turn, turn". Yes, they can be hard, yes, turning towards the precipice can be hard, but you can do it, and you should!

I just got back on a board for the first time in 3 years due to having a bad experience with some boots and being demoralized about the purchase. I've used your videos as incentive to get myself back out there and you've really helped me nail down realizing what bad habits I had developed in my self teaching. First run down was very sloppy, but by 6/7/8/9 I had gained a control over my board I never could really figure out in the past

Thank you so much for this video. I finally was able to feel in control on the flats/cat tracks this season. Before, I was either catching awful edges, slowing myself down to the point I'd lose speed, stop when others are passing, or I had way too much edge angle & tire out too quickly. At the beginning of the season, it took 2 hours to get through a run with tons of flat cat tracks & now I'm making it through proficiently!

I did a speed check in Bansko, was perfectly in control, and got shouted at by a ski instructor, even though I was perfectly in control he didn't like that I was there even though it was him that was in the way on a possibly dangerous inverse camber. Then I realised not all Bulgarian ski instructors are as honest and trustworthy as you would hope when one tried to steal my snowboard on Xmas day, luckily he had to undo my bindings and was slowed down just enough that he had to abandon the board from the top of the return route to town and escape into the crowd.

Just the video I was looking for. Right when I was getting the hang of snowboarding last winter I was on a skinny path and so many other riders were whipping past me and I had no room to maneuver and was picking up too much speed, if I stopped somebody behind me would hit me so I veered off the side and almost hit a tree! Getting back on to the slopes this winter and I will use these tips. Gotta master those speed checks without catching an edge or collision!

Hi @malcolmmoore, any tips (maybe a vid) on how to maintain control on icey slopes. Most EU resorts appear to be experiencing unseasonably warm weather & no significant snowfall since mid-Jan. On-piste conditions are often artificial on a hard (& dwindling) base. Aside from trying to find the softer stashes that skiers push off to the side, how do you think is best to maintain control without skidding out where grip is almost non-existent? Thanks in advance

There's a third one, for even narrower paths: front of the board straight down the path and with back leg, you lift back of the board and skid quite fast from left to right. Great control, great maneuverability on narrow paths or on paths with "ski obstacles".

Great video Malcolm! After 10+ years I am quite confident on narrow runs now using the techniques in this video. My main worry on narrow slopes now is other skiers/boarders who go completely straight and fast not expecting us snowboarders to turn or even worse do a sudden speed check. I have had some narrow escapes from skiers crashing into me when I make a turn. I know the person behind should be watching ahead but they often don't realise us snowboarders make turns! Any advice on that? I always keep my turns as narrow as possible to avoid this now.

Skinny narrow paths are so frightening on a snowboard. I find that I can go edge to edge like this but then, like you say, start to build up too much speed, so I have to put in a speed check as you showed. However, the skiers behind assume you are going to keep going straight and then when you put in the speed check they ski over the end of your board and that generally makes me fall over or get very nervous. Its a shame there isn't a way to slow down whilst keeping the board in the fall line

Hey Malcolm, Love watching your videos! I do all of the things you mention in your video, what I find difficult on narrow cat tracks is skiers cutting you up constantly or overtaking you, without leaving any space for you to be able speed check or change edges. They seem to forget that snowboarders can’t just snow plow to slow down or stop.

I had alot of trouble too. In the end I did a training keeping myself restricted on one side of the beginner slope making only slight clean turns instead of big ones. But I had enough space in case I screwed up a turn. Also I had no other skiers passing me all the time. Another technique I did was riding on one edge for most of the time(toe) and tilting the angle by pushing the back of my board with my back foot more in front to regulate my speed. Worked well especially in long turns of the track or against that slight incline of the track. It made me go completly straight without too much speed or turns. I don't know if it's a good thing to do avoiding turns in those spaces but it felt good.

Malcolm thank you so much for this. One additional problem for folks who like to explore through the woods- often times there is simply not enough width on the trail (due to trees, bushes, etc) to pivot the board sideways for speed check. Could you do a lesson on speed control in the soubois (flatter sections, coming to a slow speed after a steep descent)?

Was frightening to be doing my best to not catch wrong edges, turn right, and control speed all with the specter of a 35ft drop off the side so super appreciated! One thing that may be hard to do a video on but I'd appreciate any resources for is how to fall well? I know the basics of disperse the energy and not fall onto outstretched limbs, but when going fast or eventually trying to do terrain park any tips are always appreciated

Couldn't agree more on the use of those techniques. I was doing good all day at Heavenly in Califronia doing blacks, blues, moguls and cat walks. At the end of the day, my friend and I did a blue called round about that gets you back to the bottom parking lot. My body was tired by this time from boarding the last 3 days on another mountain. Physically I was worn down but that's when I freaked myself out psychologically. Knowing I was tired out, I mentally didn't want to fall over the edge and scared myself thinking I would catch an edge if I turned too much. My first time on these runs. I could get plenty of speed but also me wanting to catch up to my friend was the biggest mistake. I kept slowing down and even one time bailed it on the fluffy side wall. As Malcom says get the fundamentals down where you'll be confident to make those short s turns and speed checks. Definitely make sure you don't tire yourself out like myself. If you're with friends, go at your own pace and have your friends wait if you guys want to stick together. Else tell them to have fun by going one more run to lap you on the same trail. Safety first.

I would say as tight as you're comfortable with. I'm your junior in terms of years of experience but after trying out how tight my boots can get, I prefer to have mine set to mid tight to full tight. I do like it near full tight when doing harder runs so I can get a faster response on my board. On mellower runs, I've had my binding a little over mid tight where my legs can move around a bit still before feeling the board turn. There is another KZbinr that recently started talking about boot lag and another about high back settings. Play around with how tight and see how you feel about it. Its just a matter of how it works out for you. Just make sure it's not so loose that you can fly out of them 😂.

Ride and ride and ride. Speed check yourself when you need to. The more experience you gain the more confident you are of your ability. I was in the same boat as you, wait I still am! Get an app to check your speed and build up from there. You'll be amazed how fast you'll gain confidence in holding your speed. I'm willing to let myself go faster and down steep slopes now. But I freak myself out about crashing so will do speed checks. One important thing to remember with speed, baby steps. Two I should say. Know when and how to stop fast. For me anyway, confidence is not being fearful of the speed. In doing so you have to have control. Once you can control your riding, ability, youll have more control. You'll be able to stop, maneuver around obstacles and fall gracefully on command. The first to focus on is being able to come to a full stop on command. Straight line for a couple secs and full stop, increase the duration and repeat. You'll be bombing black diamonds pretty soon. Not me though, I'm not craycray yet. I still like watching Malcom race with his skier buddy video.

You've got to really ride the edge hard on sheet ice. It's not much fun at that point so avoid unless you have to cross an area to get somewhere better. On the plus side, you've got a giant brake attached to your feet so even a relatively novice snowboarder can go down a black run. Heel edge falling leaf can get you down almost any surface at a speed you control, just flare the edge of the board to check.

What do you do when the track tilts one one side? They end to slope down a little bit away from the mountain side. When you switch edge, do you have to tilt one edge higher if the track is tilted? Or do you just stay on one edge?

This is where being good at switch helps a lot. My first time on very long catwalks a couple days ago. I'm regular so most of the catwalk my friend and did were heel side for me. My legs were burning so much. I'm not confident with switch still so every time I rode toe side I was scared of going over the trail edge. So move up to the higher side of the run and pretty much stay on the edge till you switch again.

Thanks for all the tips. I learnt to board roughly 30 years ago on dry slopes and got to a reasonably good level, but have not been recently. After a period off the board what would you suggest are the best exercises, both on and off the board, to prepare for a week on the slopes? Also how would you say the techniques that are taught now are different from 'back in the day'

I'm just grateful there wasn't the usual flat section cause most pistes still feel designed for skiers with poles! Never fun one foot punting along 🥵 Next difficulty level up - a narrow path, but it's dipped down in the middle 'U shape' so much greater chance of catching an edge 😬

Go to the gym or do cardio exercises in the weeks before you go. Need to build up leg strength and stamina for those long thigh burning runs! Chocolate bars on the piste always served me well, never stopped for a big luch, just sandwiches. Massive breakfast in the morning for fuel. And a decent night's sleep for recovery.

I love your videos! Do you have any advice for skinny flat tree runs, where the room you have to navigate is around 3 feet wide (~1 meter wide) corridor and bumpy terrain? I'm thinking the type of terrain that are exits for steep tree runs. I struggle with these, especially if I have to keep my speed up to hit the occasional uphill on my exit.

Exactly what I do. Beginners usually make wide turns and this doesn't translate well to narrow slopes. Probably good to practice on a wider slope and limit yourself to a defined corridor.

With Technique 1, are you just rocking your hips back and forth and there's little to no movement in the legs or knees to change edge? also, what's the best way to start a jump? when the board is flat or on a carve edge?
@Trentonius
@Trentonius 11 ай бұрын
People should know how to rock and edge, but the most important thing on these narrow areas is looking over your shoulder. Just like driving, see who's coming up behind you and adjust accordingly. Light carving and edging is fundamental to not go overboard on gentle slopes.

Im not associated with the brand at all but i have one bataleon board with 3BT. You can just forget the edge catch on catwalks and such but you sacrifice edge hold and need to work a lot more to lock in the carves, there's a tendency to skid, you need more edge angle. Do love my 2023 Thunder tho.

@vincentdoescolorart
@vincentdoescolorart 11 ай бұрын
Hi Malcolm! I tend to carve in an asymmetric fashion. Usually I S turn in to toes in a wider turn, and I "absorb" better the initial gain of speed, and I control the speed (either speeding up or reducing speed) better while carving . The S turn into heels is usually "shorter" and I skid to control speed, and I struggle a bit to do the S turn wider and smother and carving all the way. Is this because I can't apply the same pressure on the board? front and back body position? and how can I practice to turn wide and smooth into heels and have a more symmetrical ride?

Hi Malcolm, I have a question regarding riding flat at higher speeds on relatively low elevation. I get a lot of fatigue quite fast on my back foot and I shifted my balance towards the nose and it goes away. However it feels like you re less stable at high speeds and there are a lot of close calls. I also tend to lower my posture and bend my knees quite a lot when I'm feeling less safe. Should I stick with the balance shift towards the nose and front leg or there is something else I am not aware of. Cheers mate! Love your work!

As I see blue routes as my nemesis I have watching multiple of these instruction video's. Funny thing though is that I never ever see any comment on the type of board that is preferable for these type of slopes. So my question is, is there a benefit to using a certain type of board? Currently I am the owner of a Jones all mountain board. Brilliant in deep pow, off piste and on steeper slopes. Yet I see you using a much smaller, more flexible board that seems to be shaped in such a manner that is it more forgiving when it comes to wrong edge biting etc. Am I right on this or just dreaming?

Hi Malcom, How should I stand on the board when turning in deep powder on a steeply inclined slope? when I tighten the front edge, I feel like I'm falling, it's hard for me to make the board turn because of amount of powder under board, and when I finally catch the turn, it immediately feels like I'm moving all the snow off the slope, under the board.

Malcolm, can't find this covered anywhere else, just wondering where your gaze is whilst you're riding in different conditions? I find myself focusing about 10ft in front of where my board is pointing which I think effects my riding. How far do you look ahead and does this depend on where you are in the turn and the terrain etc? Cheers, Marti ✌🏻

I'm a beginner snowboarder, and I've had consistent struggles keeping my weight on my front foot, it feels unintuitive to me, and I had the same problem when I tried riding goofy, so I don't believe the stance is the issue. It mostly is an issue on my toe edge, and doesn't happen on my heel edge very much, but feels very unstable when trying to switch edges at higher speeds, any tips are appreciated, cheers.

Try and playb with the angle of that front binding. Also try and look for any tightness or lack of mobility in your body see if there is any pain when you stretch to all angles you may be tight. Besides that, attack that mountain instead of being afraid of it. Act as if till it becomes nature. Its fear of falling on your face that's why it's the toe edge I'm guessing. Good luck
