Snowboarding Tips - Improve Your Turns Using This ESSENTIAL TECHNIQUE

- čas přidán 7. 01. 2020
- Improve your snowboarding turns and snowboarding technique by employing 'Torsional Twist' into your riding! In this video I teach you how to become a better snowboarder by using your knees and ankles properly. This important technique is often used by beginner snowboarders when they start learning, but then forgotten about as they progress. However it is very important when creating grippy short radius turns on your snowboard.

Best snowboarding channel. This video probably saved my life last winter.
🙏🙏🙏 awesome thanks man!
@@malcolmmoore where the hell are you ? the slope looks so beautiful and you have it all to yourself. so cool
@@mistermurzyn6303 very late reply but I'm in alpe d'huez in France 🇫🇷
@@malcolmmoorestill much respect for replying. I’m about to go snowboarding for the first time, and my brother sent me your videos.
Dear Malcolm: I had my AASI Level I exam yesterday when I used your lever analogy for my segment of teaching garland turns. I got an A for my lesson content! All the instructors loved this analogy and our examiner called it a rock star analogy! This analogy will spread among instructors like fire! Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome to hear, good luck to you with all your exams!
Malcolm Moore Thank you! I passed my AASI Level I exam! Now I can relax and watch all your other videos! 😄
@@veronical8103 congrats!
This is maybe the single best video for snowboard learning on CZcams.
Watching this video was a game changer for me, now I’m in control of my turns and not afraid of doing narrow or steep runs! This man deserves more subs!!!!
Thankyou!
This man has a gift for teaching man!
Finally someone explains this in a way that I can visualize and digest it! thanks!!
Glad to help, Thanks for the comment!
Bro, you have been my big brother in helping me understand snowboarding! By the end of my first year i ripped down that hill with confidence!
as a beginner, not being able to turn from heel edge to toe edge smoothly was a big demotivator, and i wish i found out about this channel before i took lessons because this would've helped me so much
This is explained alot better than in most other beginner videos. You explain how to get the board on edge perfectly. Many videos say "use your shoulder" to initiate the turn which is bad, because later you want a complete seperation of upper and lower body. Turning with the "levers" (lower body) is an awesome explenation
Using Lever analogy was great. I have been trying to understand this, now it’s easy implement
Thanks, glad to help!
So proper the breakdown of that :) I have been really into steering the board with my feet last season and realized how powerfully responsive it can make any board.. Great channel!! found out about this channel from your Salamon Dancehaul review.
This is probably the best guide and explanation for beginners. As a beginner myself, i use this as my Bible as I get better thank you!
Thanks for the comment! I hope it helps you!
First off this place looks great, will have to check it out & secondly like others have said, your channel is without doubt the best out there in the snowboarding world, Jeez it's like having private lessons, so well explained & easy to understand, reminds me of having your favourite teacher in your best subject at school , keep it up Malc this channel is gonna be big !
Thank you very much!
@@malcolmmoore What Mountain is that!? It's crazy gorgeous!
@@rossanavuitton9450 Alpe d’huez France
By far the best explanation i have heard/seen on youtube dude! Keep up the great work and knowledge sharing!
Thank you, I will do!
Your instruction is AMAZING, Malcolm! This is a perfect example of using visual, auditory and kinesthetics for teaching. Your voice, your intonations, how you explain the biomechanics and even the music all worked extremely well to help me understand. You have a talent for teaching! You are an amazing instructor!
probably most important snowboarding video i have ever watched!
Amazing thanks so much 😊🙏🫶
Great videos Malcolm, I’ve been snowboarding for over 20 years now myself but I’m not an instructor and I can’t explain properly how I do what I’m doing. I have just bought my 11 year old son his first board and teaching the very basics is easy enough but this lever analogy for torsional twist is genius Malcolm. I didn’t really know that that’s what I do when I turn! But now I can explain this better to my son. I’ve been watching a few more of your videos now and you explain everything clearly and well. Great job, and thanks.
That's awesome to hear! Good luck to your boy, he's starting off at the right age, I didn't begin until I was 17!
@@malcolmmoore Likewise, I was 16/17 when I first started, but I'm 41 now so soon I'll be the one struggling to keep up the pace of a full day on the hills!
Another excellent video. Love the clear approach.
Thanks Stuart!
I love this guy, hes so patient and detailed when explaining the technique. Thank you 🙏
Malcom! Delighted i found this clip! So pleased to find the pedal/leaver analogy somewhere online and for it to be from an articulate source! Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!
Just into my second season of snowboarding. This video and all your videos “feel right”. It’s just clicks in my mind. Can’t wait to drill this on my next run!
Your videos are timeless! Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊😊😊
I thought I was crazy but ive been using this for years!!!! Flat on front steeper in back cuts me through the crap in New England!!! thanks for teaching this
Awesome! Hope you have a good winter in new England!
One of the best metaphors to explain difficult move! Malcolm thank you so much!
Seriously brilliant snowboard teaching content. Thank you so much!!
This is a superb explanation. I've been riding for 2 seasons, I catch up pretty fast when it comes to turning on steep terrain but most of the time i skid on my heel edge. And this torsional movement is all ive been looking for. Never knew what torsional is until i found this channel. Been watchin tons of snowboard bloggers/youtubers, but this is the only one that detailed everything. Thank you Malcolm
Thanks Jessica!! Torsional is the one! Happy to help 😊😊
Just came back from my second time ever snowboarding and the lever imagery was the best thing to help me to ‘fall leaf’ downslope!! Thanks bro, your explanations are very realistic and easy to understand 🙏🇧🇼
I am glad I saw this video, these tips really help me to improve my switch!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I been noticing my turns are skidded and didn't know where to start to fix it. Especially the short radius turns I can feel the skid as I make a quick turn with my upper body. But now I will go back to basic to do it with proper carving techniques. Thank you for your video very informative and clear. Will definitely try this to fix my riding
Let me know how it goes!
Keep up the good work.
I believe soon you'll one of the most watched on CZcams.
Clear accent. Brilliant way to explain things 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support!
Thanks again! ! Malcolm .so clear and useful. ✌
Thanks for this “2 levers” concept. This really makes me easier to understand how twisting works.
Glad to help!
For real, this is the best snowboarding video I’ve ever watched and I’ve seen dozens. Thank you man 🙏🏻
Thanks Yoni, yeah I reference this video in pretty much all my other tutorials as it is essential stuff!
Sitting in my living room Miles away from snow I already feel my boarding is better. Great lesson can’t wait to try out technique in 3 weeks!
Wow. This is the single most helpful thing I've seen about initiating turns. It really makes you visualize each step of the turns.
Thankyou, I appreciate it, glad it helped! 🙏
Your tutorial videos are the best on YT, thanks for them... good job.
Glad you think so! Thanks!
best snowboarding guide I've seen. so articulate and useful
Thanks for watching!
Congrats! Great instructions!
These are things I've done naturally for years, but your videos help me to keep refining. Keep it up Malcolm, your time will come!
Thanks, it's difficult at the minute with no lifts, really struggling to produce videos!
Great video and you have the perfect pants that really shows the legs doing the action
what an invaluable technique tip that hardly any snowboarding schools teach properly. Thank you for this video! :)
Thanks 😊🙏
Awesome, gotta try this ASAP, thanks !
Subscribed. This is extremely useful, I always struggled with understanding how you initiate the edge change from your heel edge to toe edge and have heard a ton of explanations that never clicked for me. I think this lever analogy is extremely good and I finally understand what has to happen down where the board meets the snow.
Thanks Florin! Glad to help, I'll be back with more next winter! Thanks for subscribing 🙏
Great video Malcolm. Love the style and content of all your videos.
Thanks !
This is probably the best visual tip I’ve ever seen on how to control the board!!! Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Hi Malcolm! I'm a beginning snowboarder and I've taken some lessons and watched lots of CZcams beginner snowboard videos. This is easily one of the most helpful. I've not seen turns explained like this before. I gave this a try today and the responsiveness from the board almost startled me the first time I tried it. Everyone says "get on your toes" or "get on your heels" and that *sorta* works but the technique in this video works on a whole higher level. I felt much more in control today after working the board this way. Thanks from a grateful newbie.
Thanks Josh, that's awesome to hear, good luck with your snowboarding!
Which board did you have (profile)? On basic profile and 7 stiffness its not working without pushing toes
@@opti2k4 I ride an old Burton board that I got on Craigslist, don,t know much about it other than it has a mild camber and doesn't seem exceptionally stiff. Bought a couple years ago as a beginner and have been riding it for a few seasons.
, it’s a good booster for beginners and essential tip for explanation
Malcolm, amazing explanation! Much more visual than making turns using the body spinning. Now I understand how and why it's working. Great lesson!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video!
I really enjoy the quality! Good job :)
Thanks for watching, I'll keep them coming!
this single video has immensely improved my turning abilities. thank you sir.
🙌
Great explanation! I was taught this in instructor training but find it hard to describe, this way of explaining makes it so simple. This is definitely the number one trick that has helped my snowboarding progress over the years, thanks for breaking it down better here!
Thanks so much Nicole 🙏
This is simply phenomenal. Thank you!
Thanks 🙌
Great work! Clear and intuitive, thanks a lot!
Thank you!
Awesome vids. Quality info from a Quality rider.
Thanks!
Malcolm. This is by far your best video
Thanks Ryan, yeah this movement is so essential in every type of turn!
Love this!!! Keep up the good work & thanks for the help. Iv improved so much because of your video's
Yay! Thank you! Its quite hard to keep them coming at the moment due to all resorts in france being shut, but I'm trying my best!
Can’t wait to try this out in two weeks, thanks for educational videos 👍🏽
Hope it helps 👍
Great explanation. Best one ive heard so far
Thanks Dustan! 👍
Nice work dude. It's rare to find someone who will explain torsional twisting. Have a superb day in the midst of the madness 👍🏻
Cheers Leo!
Excellent video. This was the game changer for me. And, all your videos contain genuine instruction. Unlike many youtube videos out there where there is alot of useless talk, followed by useless ego rides to show off nothing.
Thanks 😊 appreciate this!
I like the way you teach and explain. Torsional Twist! Great and quick way to link the turn smoothly.
Glad it was helpful!
Used this today to refresh myself. Went boarding for the first time in 10 years. Felt like I'd never been away after a few runs. Only problem I have is I feel like I'm relying too heavily on my back foot and need to trust the board more. But happy with today! Great vid. Thanks.
Our leevers 😃 this is some of the best instructions ever! The way Malcolm breaks it down its easy to understand and apply to your riding. I cant wait til my mountain opens tomorrow at 9am! Mt Wachusett Massachusetts
Ah awesome man! I wish the lifts here were running this season, everything's still in lockdown here in France, still, I can hike everything for the time being!
The biggest exercise ever for beginners!
Great! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome! 😊
I really like your snowboarding tutorial. The explainaiton is clear and the music is smoothing. Afterall, watching your videos is really a feast.
Great to hear, i really appreciate it!
Lever method is legit! Thx Malcom!
I discovered this by myself last week, it helps tremendously to make a successful turns. Good stuff Malcolm
Thanks Roshan 🙌
Thank you!!!! I’ve been learning how to ride w my 8 yo daughter for the past 2 yrs and both of us have been constantly falling. I saw this video last wk and it worked! I made my daughter watch it and it also worked! Thanks so much!
That is awesome!
hands down the BEST in-depth explanation for snowboarding!! Thank you so much!! I'm still garbage but slightly more knowledgeable garbage.
😂 thanks!
Bro, this is literally the best edge to edge turn tutorial I could find on CZcams! When I was practicing carving turns, I always found myself kicking the back leg and I always end up with skid turns. Thank you so much! Please keep the hard work. - Fan from China
Thankyou! Unfortunately the ski resorts here in france are still shut, but I'm still trying to make videos, it just requires me to hike alot!
super helpful video. thanks for sharing, malcolm!
Thanks for the support!
Malcolm. Wow. I tried this today and it really brought my turning up so much! I come from a surf, skate and water ski background. I've been doing those since I was 8 years old and was even competing on an amateur level in skateboarding and water skiing. I surfed triple overhead waves when I lived in southern California. I moved to Switzerland and started snowboarding late last year. When I got off piste at the end of the season, the whole thing opened up. I was surfing again. But I didn't know how to work with the bindings. They seemed to prevent me from letting my feet guide the board. I've been listening to other CZcamsrs and nothing has helped more than this video right here. We got some fresh snow and the slope closest to home was closed, so I hiked up and tried this. Wow. I am suddenly on the next level. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Thank you, and you'll have to teach me to surf better one day, 5ft waves are about as big as I've ever gone!
This video has helped me tremendously in learning how to snowboard. I saw this video just before I started my third day snowboarding and the difference was tremendous. Just watched it once and practiced the first 15 minutes on the snow and I went from falling constantly and not feeling in control on my board to being able to take red slopes with barely any trouble. Amazing way to visualize just how stand and steer on a snowboard. Thanks Malcom.
Brilliant so pleased you found it helpful 🙌
Needed this info thank u brada! 👍🏽
Glad to help!
Man! You are really producing THE best snowboarding tutorials on youtube! Levers, that's exactly what it is! When I first learned to snowboard, I saw so many videos teaching you to use your arms to turn. Now I'm gonna use your lever analogy to teach my friends, so that they don't have to navigate their boards by pointing fingers, which looks quite silly😂😂😂
Haha, thanks man! 🙏
Amazing explanation. Finally I can use my front foot for turns instead of my body. These tips immediately fixed my posture and doubled my speed. Thank you so much!
Thanks! ✌
This video made something click and unlocked a whole new world for me.
Thank you 🙏🙏
Wow.. you made it make so much more
Sense now. I’ve gotten way better.
Booyah! Awesome to hear 🙌
Just starting, will give this a try on my second trip snowboarding thank you for the tips!
Nice, good luck with it, snowboarding is the best!
I just had the best week boarding after following this advice. Thank you!
Awesome to hear, thanks for sharing, I appreciate it 😀
It is also a great base for carving if you focus on early edge change :) Excellent explanation of technic used for advanced riding!
Keep on the good work man! You’re a really good teacher! 👊🏼
Thanks! Will do!
Wow this video is so satisfying! Those turns look pretty neat 💯
Thanks 🙌
This is absolutely my issue. I am going to apply this on my next slope ride! Thank you very much for making it so easy to understand! :)
No worries, glad to help!
Thanks Malcolm, this guide helped me greatly; I could translate your analogy to my riding during my next snowboarding trip!
Glad to help! 👍
Best turn vid.
thanks for the tip. i will apply this next time. Thanks
Hope.it helps 🙏🙏
Malcom, thanks to this video I went from use the upbody turn to use the torsional twist in a day. And wao !!! There’s a huge difference. So happy. Thanks for the help.
Nice work!
This is awesome Malcolm. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of how torsional twist affects how the board reacts. My entire family just started riding and this video is perfect! Thanks again mate!
Awesome, Thanks for letting me know!
Wish I could have found this channel earlier. Dude you absolutely deserve much more subs. Nice job 👍🏻
That was very nice and relaxing watching you go down the slope so smoothly from edge to edge 🤗
Haha cool 😎
You're my savior. Watched this video before hitting the slope. I went from not being able to turn toe-side at all to carving in 6 hrs, and this is my first season snowboarding. Thank you so much!!!!!
Incredible 🙌🙌
Great tutorial,helped me a lot!
Thanks Emmy!
Brilliant points Big M. Thank you.
Thanks bodyproof!
Great training method! Thanks!
You're welcome!
My kids are not snowboarders by any means, but they desperately wanted to play with/learn to snowboard on our local sledding hills. This snowboard is perfect. It seems to be made well; is sturdy. The price was very reasonable for something we're just playing with. I will definitely buy two more; I initially only bought one for my 3 kids to share, just to make sure I liked it well enough.
Easy to understand explanation! Thanks so much! Hope you can come to Japan - Hakuba and Hokkaido!
I hope so too, maybe next year!
This will be the 2nd year for my 3 kids (13,14, & 19) and this is such a great visual for them as they are still struggling to make solid "S" turns. I think this tip will be a game changer for them. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks, I hope it helps them!
The lever analogy and using your knees and hips to control your movement is really working in my brain. I’ve watched a lot of other videos and they usually say to just point while leaning in that direction, and then using the shoulders to turn but like you said it’s a delayed movement compared to using the hips + knees first
Great to hear!
this tutorial is amazing!
Thanks!
Really love your videos!
Hope to see more soon :D
Thanks! I'll be putting one up every Wednesday!
Been riding for 20yrs and while ive naturally done this, never bothered to identify and focus on this technique. But i will now, ty
🙌👍
