#HowToSnowboard #MalcolmMoore - Jak na to + styl
Hey Malcolm, just finished our last day at Alpe d’huez, just wanted to say thank you so much for surprising me on my birthday and helping me and my stepdad with our snowboarding!
No worries Josh it was super fun!! Glad you had a good birthday!
Yes even though it wasn't for me the tips were brilliant and Sunday was a much better day putting it in to practice. Once again thanks for making Joshua's 21st a great day absolute legend we will be calling on your services again deffo after a few more vids keep up the fantastic work supporting the community
@@sportbilly9815 thanks, hope you guys have a safe journey home, great to ride with you!
Ye home and planning next trip thx again
Can you do a video on moving from green to blue and blue to black? Maybe if you can show level bench marks or skills you should have before moving forward
Stop analyzing so deep into it. Just go and try it out.
Trail difficulty levels can vary from place to place. But generally blue to green is negligible: if you can comfortably link turns you're good for blues.
Blue to blacks can be more ambiguous, but you should be very comfortable changing edges quickly and be comfortable with possibly gaining speed quickly and braking at speeds without falling.
@@EwokyBalboa I agree because blacks tend to be steeper, and it's less about bombing, and more about quick edge changes with c-turns. Starting with shoulders, then whipping the board around. Sounds straight forward but it's technically much different than regular riding.
Try riding reds before blacks. I've noticed that there's little incentive in going to black slopes, as it's very steep and you need to be super technical to enjoy it in any way. Of course both reds and blacks are a spectrum, even overlapping a bit. Steep reds with hard packed, almost icy snow can give you a fair challenge. Skiers will create moguls everywhere, so that's another layer of challenge :)
Go out, try it yourself. On reds you can just falling-leaf-it down if it gets too steep for you. Legs will burn tho.
On a (good) black, if you loose your grip you might find yourself sliding down the mountain with little ways to stop.
@@GMNestorPL i mean he could be in NA, reds don't exist. but yeah OP, just go try one. there are blues that should be blacks in part, and blacks that really should be blue. remember that a slope is graded by its most difficult part - that means the majority of a black could be a blue in difficulty, you'll just have a slightly more challenging section. go slow and if worst comes to worse, slide sideways down it.
Your videos literally made me an intermediate snowboarder
from beginner
Haha awesome!
Never thought how much I would improove my snowboardingskill from watching youtube videos. Thank you for sharing all this information here for anybody to watch. It helps alot.
You're welcome I'm happy they help 😊😊
Don't often comment on YT, but after my first 2 days snowboarding and some nice progression, i gotta say... you're an amazing intructor and cummunicator.
Following your instructions, made learning a lot more intuitive and clear.
Cheers man! Really turned these 2 two days into an enjoyable experience.
Amazing well done!! And thanks 😊😊
Great and clear deconstruction! I like how you use the same concepts over and over in your instructions, this helps a lot in grasping the key points just by watching a lot of your videos and realize how they are all based on the same fundamentals. This helped me a lot!
Good work explaining the subtleties of the carve. The way I see it, if you’re not turning, you’re not snowboarding. Aloha from Hood😎
Love your videos and small details you highlight which can make a huge difference. I started snowboarding quite late and struggled alot. But after watching your videos for last 2 weeks, i went down the red slope without falling down :-)
great helpful vid as always, digging the PIP edit! it’s awesome to show us proper form, but sometimes i wish you would do a side by side or comparison of incorrect form. here specifically you mention pushing into the edge too soon and causing a skid, it would be cool to see that next to the proper form shown in the vid to compare the mechanics and timing
Hey Malcolm, thank you so much for your effective and easy to understand tutorials! I've been stuck on the same level of snowboarding for 3 seasons and after watching your vids and applying your tips, I've finally broken through and gained 100% confidence on my board. It has never felt so safe, satisfying and fun before! TYSM you legend!
Ahh amazing!!! Great to hear 😊😃
I know European resorts are less geared for backcountry riding; but a vid on those sorts of areas with someone of your skills and instructional style would be great 🤙🏼
Yeah someone said the other day a video on off piste/back country was a good idea, need some fresh snow here in France first...
@@malcolmmoore don’t tell me that. I’m back home from States to come get some Alps in my system. Flying to France end of this week with hope the storm is going to hit Valberg area 🤞🏻. You can always come out to Colorado for some fresh powder, great excuse is making content 😌
@@malcolmmoore it's been a long time since i went off piste in france, came face to face with a 35 ft unmarked drop in the trees a stones throw or two from the piste and had to grab a tree. never again! annoys me that france has this attitude towards piste, and from what I can tell you can't get insured for it because of that!
This helps a lot! The instructors I've met never explained these things clearly
I will be doing this drill on my first day back on the slopes after a two year break.
Your videos are very useful, thanks mate :)
You're welcome 🤗
Keeping knees bent and weight on board is half the battle well done Malcolm!
Today I had my first experience of "table losing grip at the end of a carved turn because I was going too fast", and seeing this video might explain that I was actually not compressing enough
Awesome 🎉
Thanks 🤗
Hey Malcolm, would you consider doing a taking a look at James Cherry's video "Four Drills to Improve Your Carved Turns" or the longer version "The Secrets of Snowboard Carving: Part 1 - The Nine Elements" ? I honestly found his breakdown to be the best description on movement/ how to position your body / drills to do all to do pencil carves on even black diamonds.. which is impressive. You are both great teachers and just thought I'd mention him and that great vid, would be cool to see you two talk or network etc
I've had a look at his stuff he's good!!!
@snowboardprocamp needs to watch this video.
Hey Malcom! Your videos have helped me get comfortable on the greens and finally move up to the blues! However, I ran into a new problem riding one of the blues. There's a spot that I can't get across where I'm trying traverse across the slope (to the left) but I loose speed and slowly inch my way towards the edge of the run and find myself stuck in powder with no where to get speed. I have to get unstrapped and walk up the slope a bit to be able to get some speed and make it the rest of the way. I see other riders getting stuck here too! I also noticed it's harder to keep speed riding on my toe edge (goofy rider here) so I end up going switch and am able to make it a little farther on my heel edge. Would love for some tips on this situation!
Хорошее упражнение и сложное для начинающих. Спасибо из Казахстана
Thanks so much 😊😊
Hey Malcolm - super helpful video, as always. Can you do a refresher video on down-unweighted turns, as well? Cheers!
Yeah sure I'll put this in the list!! Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@malcolmmoore I second this idea. Also would be good to explain when to use the two techniques
cool video. any chance you could make a video on forward/backward movements? a friend of mine is an instructor who always talks about having the board underneath you (rather than leaning over the nose) on edge transition, and then out in front of you to release pressure. I find myself struggling with the first part and simply leaning on my back foot for the second. Need the 's' diagram broken out on this :)
Thanks for the great videos. Is there a video to show how to ride a steeper slopes with moguls? Could I still achieve gripped turns or do I actually need skidded turns?
I really need to make that video, you can still get gripped turns provided the moguls are reasonably uniform. It's basically the same movements as a down unweighted turn over the top of the mogul to do what is called a terrain unweighted turn.
Malcom can you breakdown the movement of feet/legs to decamber board? Is it related to the gas pedal movement (twisting of the board)?
Could you do some advice videos on boot comfort and how to prevent/fix blisters when snowboarding
Ah sorry I don't have much advice on this subject! Got pretty sore feet myself! Anyone else got some advice on this??
Hey there! Just wanted to say that I have just started snowboarding (today was like my 7th time), and your concepts have given me a lot of confidence, to the point where I can take some speed without fearing for my life.
I think I might pick up some of your drills the next time I go snowboarding... Even if they seem less fun, I guess they will enhance my future experience?
Yeah sometimes the drills can be a bit like school but they will help you gain control and confidence hopefully!
Hi Malcolm! I have a question. So in each turn (heel or toe) your back knee needs to look the direction you are riding towards. Especially when turning heel side, I feel like my back knee points the oposite direction, in sort of a duck stance. Can you enlighten me on this? I feel like this might be the solution of me turning too much on my heel side.
Hey Malcolm, is there any chance you could do a video on different boards and there function? I'm looking to buy my first board and not sure I'll make the right decision.
Yeah good shout, I'll put it on the list! Thanks so much 😊
Malcolm for the rescue!
I still have trouble keeping the weight on the leading leg.
Every time I gain some speed and make a heels to toes turn
I feel the weight shifting to the rear leg and obviously losing momentum to link the next turn.
Do you have a golden tip - how to maintain the weight on the front foot?
Thanks champ
Try feeling the outside of your leg against the outside of your boot, might help!
Holy shiz them mountains cray
Can you do a video guiding us on how to gradually increase the speed at which we’re riding our boards with maximum control? Not looking to break any speed world records, but will be nice to have a various catalogs on runs when I go away in a couple weeks!!
I'd been wondering the same until I got a chance to practice riding more and every week (before it was like 2-3 days per year) - and gained a lot more control then ever. Therefore, I increased my confidence and started to ride faster and faster)
hello, yesterday I started snowboarding ... after the first day I'm afraid to make classic turns ... I have a problem that often if I want to change edges, I catch the snowboard on the edge that is in the direction of the slope ... then it cuts me and I fall quite hard .. ... now I'm afraid to try it, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the transition from edge to edge is giving me a problem ... am I doing something totally wrong or does it need more time? I have ridden about 3 hours on a snowboard (half of it on the ground) :D
Such a great video! Is there any functional difference between this and a down unweighted turn? Or is there no difference so long as we are unweighting right before the edge change?
Yeah, these work best on groomed slopes, whereas down unweighted are much better in bumpy terrain, chopped up snow, and powder! I've got an older video somewhere explaining when to use different turns for different terrain!
@@malcolmmoore Got it! I've been doing up unweighting only so this is a bit of a switch for me. To be clear, is the only difference that, instead of "standing up" quickly to unweight, I am "sinking down" quickly to unweight?
What's your top 5 areas in Europe for boarding?
Could you please do a video on how to attempt jumps in a snowpark?
Yeah good idea!
Is there a video where how you can jerk your snowboard onto its other side really quick, because I need to be ready for the black diamond next time I go snowboarding.

What level of ability would you consider this skill to be aimed at? I worked on these drills two years ago in Australia at Mt Hotham, and was just at the point of attempting a black run (even if the bulk of the effort was in heavy stops to ensure that I was setting my edge correctly). After that we attempted some carving, but I can't recall the drills for that 😅😅😅
I have a flat/rocker. I'm assuming this won't work with my board?
Definitely will! Have a try!!
Excuse me if i'm here again to ask you the name of the place. Could you specify it in the beginning of the video? Thanks.
This is filmed in Alpe d'Huez 😊
Is there an american alternative to Skibro? Looking to take more lessons but want them to be quality.
I think skibro has started up in America now if that helps!
Where is this mountain?! This is 100% my dream terrain :)
Alpe d'Huez in France 🇫🇷
Good video you have 👍 But this skibro platform is terribe. How can you make such coaching platform for winter sports and forget hardboot snowboarding 🙁
It just depends what the instructors on there offer. I don't offer hard boot instruction for example, you're looking at a small niche within a niche!
@@malcolmmooreyeah, but what I mean is thay don't even have such category at all. Damn
Will there be ski bro in North America?
Maybe one day, difficult there I think as most resorts monopolise the ski schools
@@malcolmmooreполучается будет проблема для видео обучения?

Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼
the other day i tried to do a down unweighted turn on the steeper part of a green run and i fell so hard on my ass, i think i'll stick to these turns for now xd
1. Crash pants work (if they are proper).
2. A green is not steep enough, TBH. It is like if you tried to learn riding a bicycle at sub pedestrian speeds. A green is fine for the first "lazy" carve just leaning on one or the other edge, but that more agressive carving of tighter turns Malcolm mentions is gonna kill all your speed within one turn.
3. Personally, I found the timing of down-unweighted turns challenging (when ramping up the (turning) speed (think frequency of S-curve)) and it only clicked for me a few years (of 2 week vacations) into riding, long after getting confident at up-unweighted carving. Now, many more years later, they are my carving weapon of cheice for when it is too steep or narrow for other carving techniques.
So do not give up, but yeah, get these more intuitive up-unweighted turns down on the blues and reds along with the feeling of controlling the carve radius and get back to work on the (typically) quicker down-unweighted turns then.
I've been using demon flexforce d3o crash pants for years now and I am very content with them. Not having the feeling that your spine is coming out of your mouth when you fall is worth it. Makes you a bit more relaxed.
"on a simple level with a Guinness"
Hahaha
Mal i love u.
☺️☺️
Malcolm is great but notice how Malcolm only replies to comments that thank him and praise him? Any comments that ask for a special request or specific question it’s crickets…
I do my best but I'm just one person I don't have a team or anything, I teach 6/7 hours a day in person on the mountain, make Instagrams everyday and try to make 1 or 2 CZcams videos per week, my admin is crazy! The more complicated comments take me longer to answer so sometimes they get out to the side til I get a day off which isn't often atm
