When you go from skidding to carving, the feeling alone is so different. Feeling your board grip the snow is almost anti-gravity
Exactly!
yep, counting till i get to know the feeling lol
I saw rhis video 2 months ago when it came out and forgot to comment. I really followed this advice and grokked the difference betweem skidding and carving. I have SO much control now over the board this season after focusing purely on skidding as less as I can. 1 year ago, I couldnt navigate my daughter through a bunny hill from a carpet lift. Last weekend, I took her on her first ski lift, had the control to help her all the way down. I even stood as she barreled into me out of control a bit. Last season she was scared to come with me, and only wanted her ski teachers. This season, she wants to come back with me every week ❤
Thank you for your amazing technical breakdowns.
This is amazing!! So happy to hear all this ☺️☺️
Today was my second day on a snowboard EVER and I am delighted to discover my skills are advancing at an incredible pace... I am already able to link turns at rather high speeds (for my standards) which is satisfies me beyond belief! Yes, I fall frequently but jump right back :) I do not listen to music, since your constant "posture-posture-posture" refrain plays on repeat in my mind. I also keep repeating "Stack your weight to the edge! Look where you are going! Don't dread it!" to myself. Your videos have helped me so very much! Thank you!
Awesome, that's great to hear!
I picked up snowboarding after a break of 25 years. Back then I had no idea of carving, so my turns were always skidded. Now I've started to dial in the carve turn. And watching a lot of videos I notice I do way too tight turns for the slopes I'm in. Gotta get the feeling of controlling the speed, not by skidding but just traversing across the slope. Thank you so much for your content!
Great shoulder checking occasionally! Great demonstration
Loving this short form, super informative videos for these small tweaks, Malcolm!! Much appreciated
Thanks for watching!!
This is execellent again. As always you've clearly thought through the problems faced by beginners. Big fan of your clear instructional videos, and especially how you try and help us understand the theory behind the actions as well. I can only say thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks for all videos Malcom. I hope to see a video where you also explain when to use carving and when to use skidding on steep terrain, as well as the difference between these techniques with or without moguls, especially on steep terrain.
I just started learning to snowboard this year (mainly from your videos!) and I look forward to being able to carve, I've only gone twice but I think my third time will be the time I finally get it!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Malcolm, we all appreciate you.
Thankyou, I appreciate that!
Malcolm thank you for all the informative videos. You really separate yourself from the others. Talk is easy, but you walk the walk and are a terrific instructor! Im a disabled military vet of the US navy and suffer from severe back pain. While learning in 2005 at age 40 I had a hard fall and wrenched my knee. I retired the board and it sat in the corner of the garage many years. Now at age 58 my mid life crisis is kicking in, Im healed up and back! I have the newer better tech gear now for old guys, volume board😊 supermatics, double boa we didn't have back then. I've been watching your vids and I can honestly say I'm a better rider now. Your very easy to understand and relate to. I love boarding and want to ride as long as I'm physically able. Thanks again man, you rock! Merry Christmas! 😊
Thanks for this, I really hope you can continue pain free! I've broken my back in the past and have a fair bit of metal in there myself so I understand back pain, and how debilitating it can be. Keep on keeping on, and Happy Christmas to you!
Malcolm you are a legend! Thank you for your time and effort. ❤️
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Malcolm, I watched this on my way to the mountain today and used this tip. It helped me improve my heel edge carve right away! THANK YOU so much!!! You are such a good teacher.
Glad it helped!
Thanks Malcolm. Another great video! I have used one of your codes to purchase the Insta 360 x3. It’s a great deal getting the snow bundle and invisible selfie stick thrown in. I have used the money saved to buy some more accessories. Can’t wait to try it out and analyse my riding at Passo Tonale next month, a great place to practice referencing your catalogue to improve! Really appreciate all the quality content you’ve made over the years and great to see you getting the recognition you deserve!
That's so great thanks for the support and kind words ☺️☺️ and happy to hear you got your snow bundle and all that jazz, have a great winter ✌️✌️
I'm in the Room of Spirit and Time watching your videos, and as soon as I will finally go back snowboarding i will release all of my power.
Thanks, as always!
Please do!
Thank you, Malcolm! I think this may be the piece of the puzzle I've been missing
Imagine the arrow kind of just prodding out of the side of your knee, rather than actually directing your knee right out to the far corners of the board!
Love watching these videos and imagining I’m riding up behind and wondering ‘this guy is talking to himself, it must be Malcolm!’. But then I remember it is the magic of Insta360 which removes the pole and unit from the video.
Wow…very nice video tutorial. Thanks Malcolm.
Thanks Rico for watching ☺️✌️
Love your videos and also Zermatt has been one of my favorite places in Europe so far.
I tried snowboarding last year for the first time ever and i eventually gave up after few days and went sighseeing because i couldnt do carving (going down the hill was boring, no speed, no fun, it was bothersome even) so i was falling many times and i hurt my tailbone badly after all. I hope ill be able to do carving and snowboard happily again this year. thank you
Thank you so much I will try that next time. I think it answers why my back leg hurts each start of season, it does all the work with flat foot in front. I go down with good "high" speed but always skidding to slow. 15 years experience never thought to look for these videos. Thank you so much🙌🙌🙌 from Mont Tremblant, Québec, Canada
Greetings from France, wishing you a good winter season!
Youre videos are fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks so much 🙏😊
I always say that I will apply all this stuff when I will be riding.
Today was my first day of the season and I almost forgot everyrhing. 😢
I gotta watch your videos again 😅😅
Haha yeah refresh, hope they helped!! 🙏☺️
These videos are just awesome!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your videos! Very helpful.
Thanks Jennifer 😊
Malcolm I litterally asked you this the other day and this answers it perfectly. Les duex alps next month and can't wait to give it a try! Thank you! ❤
🙌
Thanks Malcolm, yet another great really informative and easy to understand video and to top it off, I’ve just used your link to order my Insta 360 X3 as a belated Christmas present for myself 😂
Amazing!! Happy holidays 😊✌️
@@malcolmmoore my camera was stolen in transit to me in the UK. Someone had opened the box, removed the camera and left everything else in the box then re-sealed the box 😭 reported it to Insta360 so hopefully they’ll sort it. Gutted to say the least!
i have to try this one, thanks Malcolm.
Have fun!
This is a great video! Thanks! Watched it during a break on my premiere day and after I was able to carve those pencil lines much much easier.
I had a bit difficulty understanding what to do with my knee on my heel turn though. I ended up pushing my front knee in towards my middle/centre of mass during both heel and toe turn and that gave the best turn. When I pushed my knee out/ towards upper front corner I just ended up skidding. So maybe I misunderstood but the feedback from my board was very helpful and yes it was an active riding rather that just passively standing on it, the fatigue in my front thigh is a proof of that. Can’t wait to try bit again tomorrow!
Yayy happy it helped! thanks for watching!!
vraiment très instructif, et l'animation est super 👍👏
Merci!
Great video. I’ve been struggling to properly carve on my heel side and often skid when I try to change edges to my heel but I think that note about aiming your knees might just be what I was missing
It is in the small details... Thanks for sharing!
No problem ✌️😊
Great stuff 🙌🏼
Thanks ☺️✌️
Loving the iron filings analogy ! very relatable and made me feel like I was about 13 again which isn't a bad thing as I turned 59 yesterday 😮
My favorite CZcamsr 🙌🏼
☺️☺️ thanks
super interesting… tomorrow I will definitely try😄
Hope it went well ! ☺️☺️
Great tip! Would engaging both edges do the same?(instead of just the front foot edge)
Thank you very much for your information.
You're welcome 🙏😊
Hey Malcolm, curious what your thoughts are about the effect of binding angles on carving? Would your carving guidance be the same for some who is riding +15 (front) / -12 (rear)? Thanks!
I find it so much easier to carve on my to edge (I'm regular) but my heel edge i still feel weird, like i don't know how to hold my body. Great instruction though! Thanks!
Thanks for the content Malcom. I am struggling to sustain my carves as I go into steeper terrain. I have no problem now in green slopes nor blues, but in reds and blacks I just devolve into skidding to reduce speed. Any progression tips?
Same here. Seems like if I am carving, the speed just keeps increasing, it starts to feel not safe an I go into skidding.
Thank you.
You're welcome 🤗
“Set it and forget it”
I love it 😂
Haha thanks 😊😊😊
Can you do this with a rocker board? Or do you recommend full camber for learning to carve?
mount Toblerone in the back 😍
How do you keep the grip when you hit a patch of ice ? I’m following the tips and doing much better thanks but as soon as I hit ice I’m slipping out
Cheers
Love the videos, been super helpful over the years, how do you like the BIRU?
Yeah I love it, it's quite aggressive, but if you're in the mood for carving it's a great board!
How do you lock the gripping on the back foot when carving without sliding? I have to shift my weight to the back foot in order to lock it, but that makes me so tire on my back leg after a run. Any tips? Or another video for that? Thank you!!!
When riding I try visualizing my back foot edge following my front foot edge once i get that front edge set. The other thing that helps me is being in a relaxed posture! When you start stiffening up is when you’ll run into problems. Just something that helps me. Hopefully will work for you.
Thank you for sharing. But I watched this videos and ones from others many times. I didn't pick up the skill you said before. I finally earned how to carve from other videos. Once you know how, you know what this video is talking about.
what videos did you watch? I’m currently trying to learn how to carve right now
I’m a big finer but I feel more comfortable linking turn at higher speeds compared to low speed. When I’m trying to turn when going slow i tend to use my body to twist the board to try to turn and stop any tips ?
My biggest problem when I go from a skidded/gripped turn to a carved turn is that it feels like I'm on a rail - my board suddenly turns so much more sharply. It almost feels like riding a bicycle in a rut or next to an edge on the road. I get scared coz I feel like I'm losing control of the board and usually fall.
Am I just afraid of what's supposed to be the actual/expected feeling, or should I reduce the pressure and/or go down a little lower (i.e. like a down unweighted turn position) and just ride through that on-the-rails feeling?
Edited to add: what helped me most to go from skidded to a more gripped turn is your lessons on down unweighted turns - I don't feel as freaked out by higher speed and changes of direction when I lean into turns in that lower position. And that helps make my turns tighter and avoid edge catches.
Hi Malcolm! Thank you for this video - helpful as usual.
Question: does the back foot "dig" into the board's edge during the turns too, or is it lifeless, just following the front foot, which has slightly more body weight on it?
I struggle with putting too much pressure/weight on my back foot during the top half of the turn, and it is most obvious on toe-side turns, which is never fully carving into the snow but always slightly sliding (more of a gripped turn than a true carving turn).
Thanks in advance!!
The back foot plays a role yes, absolutely, but don't let it mess up the role of the front foot. In my next video I'm going to be talking about more advanced carving and the role the back foot plays.
Sounds great! Thanks for replying and looking forward to your next video! 😊
Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate that! 🙌
Does anyone know if he has any snowboard buying guides? I am looking to buy a used board cause I am trying to ball on a budget. I just honestly have absolutely no clue what I should be looking for aside from the price. This will be my third season and I can ride pretty much the whole mountain but mainly enjoy cruising blues and greens as a beginner-intermediate snowboarder. Any knowledge on boots, boards, and binds are appreciated.
How do I stop the back leg coming round ?
Hi Malcom, do you usually ride posi-posi when carving?
I've got a video on posi posi coming out this week, but normally I'm riding +18-9 or +15-12
I feel like thats the piece i was missing. 💪 I could carve some turns, but sometimes the board just wouldnt grip. It felt like understeer.
Yeah exactly, not a bad driving analogy...
I feel like I can drive through the back foot on heel side but I struggle to feel that on toe side
Can you record a video on progression on what is required to handle green, blue, red (In Poland we have red) and next balck runs? What diffferent techniques are required. I am just starting and can handle our green ones and blue ones, but red ones I feel my turns are too slow. How make them faster? Cheers
As an snowboarder starting my 3rd season I'd say the biggest thing for me has been getting more comfortable with speed. Your turns will be the same, but with steeper runs you pick up speed much faster. If you go too slow you'll be using a lot more muscles when trying to turn.
Yeah this is a good idea thanks 😊✌️
Hi Malcolm, is it common to struggle much more with carving on the heel side than on the toe side? From heels to toes I can do an early edge change and get it to grip and leave a thin line, toes to heels I can only engage the edge when the board is already pointing down and I really struggle to grip it especially when there isn't a soft snow layer. I think I am a bit concerned with falling on my butt and therefore I don't angle the board enough (?)
Thank you for your great videos!
Hey, just want you to know that you are not alone. Exact same problem with you
I think for a lower edge angle in heel side, you need to make the s shape much bigger to gripe so that it matches the nature of board in lower edge angle.
Also are you in zermatt now? I’m there in December this year it’d be great to get some lessons if you’re about to
I'm based in France, usually Alpe d'Huez. I go to Zermatt early season in November to film content. It's amazing there you'll have a great time!
Apologies for asking about a different topic Malcolm.
May I ask, what Nidecker binding and shoe size you wear?
XL bindings, either supermatics or kaon x, with size US12
how you go SOON to one edge to other without getting an edge and dropping?
I need to stay both fee flat in the changing?
Or straight change feet edge and body position is the awnser?
Knee steering, look in his videos :)
When you set and forget your last leg. where is your center mass? is it in the middle of the board or is it offset towards your back leg?
Just in the center, my next video out tomorrow is about more advanced carving where I talk about the weight shift in more detail.
thumbs up!
Thanks 🙏🙏
I'm not sure I can understand clearly... What does that mean by top corner vs far corner of the board?
See where the green arrow is pointing. Yes I understand the board doesn't actually have corners, but if you imagine it as a rectangle with 4 corners then it should make sense.
You are HIM!
☺️🤩🙌
Thank you! This is what I need learn to do next. I feel like I'm skidding all the time, but maybe it's just a speed issue.
Today morning my closest slope was like ice rink so I couldn't do anything but just slide down.
Should I sharpen the snowboard edges as it's very old used one?
Sharp edges help, but also ice is just ice and there's not much you can do when it's like that!
please do some videos for advanced riders
Got some coming, keep an eye out.. 😊😊
I’m so frustrated with my turns. Every time I change edge I feel like I’m braking instead of turning. My progress has been stagnant for the past three weeks. I’m not looking to carve yet I just want to make my turns smooth
Keep going, try some new things, these videos can help but the best way you can really learn ultimately is to feel the sensation yourself and figure it out yourself, practice on terrain you're comfortable on, and hopefully it will start clicking soon!
When carving, I don’t understand how you don’t catch an edge while transitioning from edge to edge. Am I missing something obvious?
Yes, the front tip of the board is lifted off the ground. To put it simply, the board can go flat based (not on an edge) while in between carved turns
Only on edge. 🙏👌 🏂
Exactly 😊✌️
Here is is, always making a nyce thin lyne in the snoyw
Yup always ☺️☺️
Merhaba CZcams kanalınızdaki videolarınızı altyazı olarak Türkce de ekleyebilir misiniz ilginiz için teşekkür ederim iyi çalışmalar
I would need to pay a translator to do that!
I’ll be in beautiful zermatt in a week
Ahh enjoy!!!
Good explanation …
