Learn how to toe turn in this beginner snowboard video. When you first start snowboarding turning onto your toes can be difficult, but I've got three tips to make toe turns easy.
First, let's break down the toe turn. Get ready for the turn by controlling your speed on your snowboard. Look and point downhill to get your snowboard going straight and Flat. Start to turn your body to the top the slope and pressure your toe edge to complete the turn. Control your speed on your toe edge and get ready for the next turn.
I really want to thank you for sharing this. Today, after 8 hrs of snowboard course, I practiced everything that my instructors had taugh me but I always had a hard time on toe turn but but.. because of this video I was able to execute it well. I am so happy thanks for sharing this time. I had to be confident with the toe slide before toe turn and i did them today with right execution, it worked well!! 🎉
I've been practicing toe edge it's so hard for me for some reason, but heel edge for me is so easy. Just gotta practice practice practice
Me too! The heel is a cinch in comparison.
I recommend using knee pads to gain confidence in toe turns. I know this helped me I first started. After getting them, I wasn't worried anymore about leaning too far forward and bruising my knees.
Toe sliding is so difficult for me! Can't wait to get back on the slopes and try our these tips.
you guys are awesome, just got my first board today after watching your vids for the past week, picked up a Lamar diablo 1570 and have not wiped out once, just keep taking it easy and trying to follow all your directions, keep up the good work you guys rock
Amazing! So glad you got the turns going! Keep us posted on how it goes next time.
I was going too fast down a slope on my second time snowboarding and thought, instead of safely stopping myself heelside, what i know how to do, why dont i try something new. So i started sliding toeside, and and didnt put enough pressure on my toes. The heelside edge of the board clipped the snow, i fell backwards down the mountain with my arms and out behind me. and i am sitting here 6 months later, still with a broken wrist, watching this for when i go back out on the slopes. haha
+TheRubbertoes Good luck next time! Hope your wrist heals up good!
That's literally what happened to me😂😂😂
+Robert Torres NAsty, I'm sorry.....cool that you still like it enough tho, I fell so badly this last time I went this past Friday, but I still love ti!
+guthyjuki874 yeah, im probably going back this spring. just gonna be a bit more careful this time, lol
+SnowboardProCamp thanks! its healed pretty good
Your beginner series is so awesome! Thanks for the toe turn tips!
Im a beginner and the toe turn is the most difficult thing ever! Your videos are so helpful!
Could u make a full gear video. From your snowboard to your helmet. All brands that u recommend for each object and what u have
Definitevely these are the best videos I've seen so far! Subtitles are very very useful (I don't speak English fluently).
THANX!
At the end of last year I was trying out the Burton Custom Flying V. It was a really fun all round board. There are links on my website where you can find good deals on snowboards.
Dude honestly I have so much trouble with toe turning and idk why I've been snowboarding for a couple seasons lol it's probably just all in my head but thank you this was very helpful I feel better about myself now
I just wanted to say, thank you SO much! I watched the 'how to skate, toe slide, heel slide and turn' videos of your beginner lessons (I wish I had seen this one but i must have missed it somehow) but they really helped!
I did fall down on my bum a lot but I only stacked it once where i was doing a toe slide and my heel caught and flipped me on my back :P
but i was able to do heel and toe turns so i was really happy and cant wait to try again :D I'll def be staying tuned to your channel :D
Toe sliding is the biggest challenge for me I always keep falling down when I try to do it! The heel edge is much easier to learn but the toe sliding is hard because you turn and face the mountain. When I try to do it, I always hit my butt! Gotta practice...
The pole I use is from a plastic rafting paddle. I think it cost $15. The mount I use is the gopro handlebar mount.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! this is exactly what I was looking for! I will remember this for winter!
Great idea, I'll work on that one.
Airblaster Freedom Toaster jacket, Airblaster Sissy pant. If you check out my website there are links where you can find Airblaster outerwear for half price!
The other day I accidentally linked my turns. I thought it was funny and I was proud. I'm a beginner and had been learning how to switch from toe to heel and did the 'lea'f.
I just have a fear of my back being towards the bottom. Any tips to change that?
Thank you for your very helpful videos can you show me how your feet move in the boots cause I think I am doing the wrong thing by lifting my foot too far up when I am on the heals and end up falling ! Thanks
Wow this was so helpful, I realize I was using all toes, not enough hip and upper body!! Thanks!! (:
Toe sliding, I'm afraid to make turns on toe slidings. Can't wait till snow season starts so I can finally start practicing with my new board, which I bought off season.
sorry, website is down today for maintenance
Do montages of your tricks and jumps?
THANKS FOR THE TIPS!
Turned on my toe edge but forgot to put pressure on my toes. Caught the heel edge now my tailbone is crying.
So helpful! I thought the motion was more in your hips ? And I also have a fear of falling on my face but I will try using my upper body more! Is it normal for your legs to be super sore after ?
Thank you!
NazNaz yes
I am having such a hard time with the toe edge. I want to be able to do a toe turn & completely stop. Tips on that please? Also, are there any exercises I can do in the gym to help me better this?? I can't always get in the practice, as I don't live too close to a park. But I want to keep up with the motions at least as much as possible. Tips on exercises & how to actually stop completely toe edge please :)
Lots of squats and any legs exercise, push ups, shoulders, and core exercises. And stretch before and after, you will recuperate faster. Good luck. Watch this video several times and remember it when you go to the mountain.
Today was the first time went snowboarding. I thought it was pretty easy, i taught my self to toe turn and heel turn within 3 to 4 hours by looking at people shred. I jus have to sharpen by carving.
Great video!
Won't lifting your back arm lead to 'petting the dog'? An instructor showed me a few other boarders riding with their rear arms up, called it petting the dog and said it would throw off balance.
its my 2nd time going to a ski resort and your videos were helpful. I'm confident with my heel slide but not on my toe slide though. I've got a question. when turning or doing a "carve" the front foot should lead the direction and the back foot should be stationary? tnx in advance
When you're learning to turn you do focus more on your front foot. You need to put weight on it so you can get your snowboard going straight down the slope. You do use your back foot to control your speed just like when your learning the heel and toe slide. It gets more advanced as your turns become more advanced, but I wouldn't worry about that yet.
When pressuring my toes, do I pressure both feet's toes at the same time or one foot first then the other followed ?
Another question I recently bought a GoPro Hero 3 and I have been looking for a pole for it. I have screen in your vids that u have a black gopro pole please respond.
i have a question, I'm comfortable turning to get to my heel and toe side, but whenever i'm on a black, I tend to need to give my back leg a kick in order to get there. I know this is the wrong way to do it. Is there a way to prevent me from kicking?
Allen Kiang yeah, remember to keep your upper body square to your board when you make the turn. Try to make your turn a little bigger and turn with your upper and lower body together. Hope that helps!
I am a beginner and i can hell turn really well and i am practicing my toe turns. I have a question. When I look at other better riders go down a hill, I see them swiveling. It looks like their back foot is moving and it goes from left to right so they move from left to right but very subtly. Is it just a sequence of slight heel turns and toe turns or is there more to it than that?
Varun Harvu A big difference between beginner turns and intermediate turns is where people are spraying snow to control speed. When you're a beginner you spray snow downhill. The intermediate turners you see are spraying snow to the side, controlling their speed as they ride. The more you ride focus on where you're spraying the snow to slow down to work toward intermediate turning. Good luck!
I am new at snowboarding. Is there any tip on how big your snowboard should be? And wich type of board should i get for starters?
Oh nevermind :) , I watched the video where you explain it :) Thanks!
excuse me i am a beginner. i would like to ask how we should move our knees when we do toe turn on snowboard? thank you very much?
Just got back from the slopes. Toe turn on the toe edge is hard asf. Trying not to get goofy with a heel grind for a toe turn 🤨🧐
Awesome
Which jacket and pants are u wearing?
Hey thanks dude this past season i went and my very last go i broke my elbow from falling on an out streched arm(my bad there), so just one question i can do my turns heel and to(i ride goof) and when i go to do a heel side and try to go back to a toe side turn i always catch my heel edge and fall on my back any tips, also thanks for the videos.
How is your toe sliding?
ok...having response issues. I can get turned around alright, but it seems like getting my board pointed downhill from a heel position is sluggish and gives me a lot of extra speed. Same problem happens even worse coming out of a toeside stop. Anything I should do to fix this?
what kind of snowboard do you have. im gona buy my first snowboard this year but i have been snowboarding for 4 years
thanks for the vid it helped a lot man
great video ty
Back flip back flip!!
If you are right handed should you lead with your right or left foot when doing a toe turn?
which hand is dominant and which foot you put forward are not related. most people run and slide across a slick floor with socks on. whichever foot is in front is usually the foot you want in front when riding.
Great Tutorial Tks... I can go backward but it is almost impossible to be in my toe edged (and brake), I have to be almost like a ballerina and it is super painful... Any idea what am I doing wrong?
It shouldn't be super painful. How do your boots fit?
What kind of board do you have?
Love it though I'm wondering, I was using my Aunts snowboard last year and shoes from another aunt and my toes stood out a bit off the snowboard, this year I have my own board and my own shoes but I haven't used them yet. Last year when I was snowboarding the reason, I think, made me faceplant most of the time while doing the toe turn was that my toes dug into the snow when I tried to turn... could that just be the setting on the board or am I simply doing it wrong?
ps. I've done skiing since I was able to stand on the ski's, but I'm 18 now and starting snowboarding for the first time. XD
If your toes were digging into the snow, then the snowboard was probably too small. Do yo know the angles your bindings are at?
SnowboardProCamp Nope, no idea. Though I believe the guy at the store adjusted the bindings for me on the new snowboard that I've yet to try....
Thanks for the reply :)
I've just changed boots (Thirty Two Lashed) and it feels like my heel is pulling me back down when I go to my toes. Is there a setup adjustment I'm missing? I can toe turn no problem. I just can't hold the toe as I feel my heel pulling me back.
+Michael Simpson Awesome you got the Lashed! Is your heel moving up and down inside the boots?
+SnowboardProCamp Hi, no my heel isn't moving in my boots. I have to loosen my boots a lot to get and hold my toe edge. It feels like my heel edge is being forced back down when my boots are snugged up. Leaning into my toe edge isn't working as it usually would.
Practice*
Apparently I'm weird, and am extremely comfortable on my toe side, but terrible with my heelside, any tips?
***** Just spend more time heel sliding and working on the heel turn. You can also adjust your highbacks so they are angled more forward. This will help a lot for stopping on your heels.
I always end up turning too much and falling on my knees when toe grinding a right turn regular
Are my heels not supposed to move up and down inside the boots? m wearing boots size 6. When standing straight, my toes barely touch the front, which sounds right. But when doing toe turn, Mine heels can move up and down in the boots and i feel like that makes it harder for me to do toe turn. But If i go half size down, 5.5, i feel like too tight for my toes when standing up. My regular shoes size is 6.
Not sure if you've figured this out yet but no, your heels are not supposed to rise up. Nicer boots have internal harnesses and even customizable heal cups that help prevent this. You can also try adjusting the position of your ankle strap to help hold you down better and while boots shouldn't be uncomfortable the should definitely be tight. Heal lift is no fun.
i hurt my wrist tail bone etc. whwn i wass trying to turn
Should work now:)
Does it matter on your type of board?
The type of board doesn't really matter, as long as it's the right size for you and it's set up properly.
Im learning this year. Been up 3 times so far.. comfortable heal edge but I keep catching my heal edge as I'm trying to toe edge turn and i fall backwards down the mountain.. how high should I be trying to get the heal edge off the snow for this turn and any tips on maintaining my balance so I don't keep falling backwards? thanks!
To stop yourself falling backwards try having your hips pushed out up mountain to stop yourself falling backward
i cant do toe stop and turns i always fall. i am pretty comfortable with my heel stop and turns
me too. But I really want to be good at both! SnowboardProCamp each time I try toe edge turn...my heal always in my way after the toe turn caused me to fall on my back and slide for a couple of meters...
I am in dry slope so its even harder to learn I can go from heel side to straight but my board just won't turn to my toe edge. I put pressure on my toe edge but I just fall on my front. I know I'm not meant to kick my back foot out but it seems to be the only way. Any help?
Inverted Plays How is your toe sliding?
Yeah much better actually! I have "c" turns nailed and I'm working on linking them. The tip of looking up the hill just worked I can't explain how. Your videos have been really helpful can't wait for more!
is Kevin riding goofy? or are we supposed to go into a toe turn using right foot first?
he rides goofy
I can't access
How do you do a jump
Check out the jump video here: How to Jump on a Snowboard - Snowboarding Tricks
Is a stiff board bad for a beginner.
Takudzwa Gorondondo yeah
I never had a problem with toe turns. Heel turns were much more difficult. I felt like I was gonna fall backwards.
ok who wrote this title? 1:54
That is the correct British spelling...
Every time I try to toe turn I end up losing control and practically do a 180! Am I just not angling forward enough or putting enough pressure on my toes? I've fallen so many times I'm getting scared to even try anymore :(
It's hard but i got it though
am going snowing boreding next Wednesday
mmmmm
He spelled practice wrong lol
