When your friend says lets go through that powder and its straight moguls
as a snowboard instructor my self, I have to say these videos are incredibly accurate. Many of the techniques shown are what I actually teach to more advanced riders. the independence of both feet will take your riding to the next level. Save yourself the expensive snowboard lessons and watch these videos before going to shred
One of the best snowboarding videos. I'm intermediate rider and constantly I'm back to these videos to remind me of the proper and stylish technique. Thanks a lot!
Brasiliano!?
I actually enjoy moguls as long as conditions aren't icy.
I love em
I like how he shows other riders making mistakes. Cause his technique is flawless and probably incapable of making them.
Nah it just looks natural. Also you can lead turns, the problem wasn't the guys upper/lower seperation, it's his weight distribution. I lead turns all the time to great effect.
I voluntarily put myself through a mogul field 4 times today. I was shredding it harder than any skier i saw! tips really helped..finding they don't tire me out as much and it was actually kinda fun
Snowboard procamp = fun, Snowboard addiction = actual learning. Great content !
This is great advice... That said, I avoid moguls because they waste your energy regardless. It also depends on visibility. In white-out conditions, moguls are even less fun.
I like that this is somewhat of a concept teach primarily focusing on utilizing rebound. Keep doing the good work these videos really help with progressing and self regulating.
Very well made channel/tutorial, was watching for curiosity as an experienced snowboarder and got some very useful tips and some homework to do :) cheers!
Hi Nev, thank you so much for those clear and simple explanations and the wonderful underlying videos. I know this is a lot work making so many snow fans more happy. You're my favored channel.
Thanks!
I’m in love with Snowboard Addiction - sharp and clear
Just came across this video. As an intermediate boarder some of these techniques I had already picked up on my own, but filled in a lot of gaps from this video. It's fantastic.
Your riding is so skilled and effortless!
I've been riding for years, and these are great tips to help me improve! Thanks!!!
Things I learned from this video:
I counter rotate when I try to do tight turns on steep bumpy snow.
When finish my turns, have my weight on my back foot instead of the front foot.
thanks!
I like the line picking technique, that's where I struggle the most.
Great video! I find alot of times snowboarders hate moguls because they simply just don't know how to ride them. Bumps and moguls are fun on a snowboard! They're challenging, but when you ride through them smoothly and air a few, it's very rewarding!
Finally a video that gives good direction about line choice. Nice improvement over your older treatment of this subject.
Paul Billings probably this is an older video that wasn't free before. They do this often
this channel is so underrated its very helpful
Very well explained. I try to hold my line and see further and to get some speed traversing like you said. Most of the things I'm already doing. Thanks!!
Your teaching is amazing!! Keep on riding and thank you.
I used to think my problem with steep runs was the angle, but what it turned out is that I didn't know what to do when I came to a bump. this video changed my life, thank you very much.
My wife is an excellent skier, so we’ll end up on bumps sometimes and I’ve always had problems with them on my snowboard. This video definitely covers my issues/mistakes and will take this knowledge with me for the next time. Excellent video/lesson, thanks!
Great instruction, well-done in a very understandable way. Thanks!
Nice and clear description! Great work!
Best snowboard tutorial youtube period. I've been boarding for 20 years and his video has pointed out so many tips and bad techniques it's unreal. His "How To Improve Your Riding On A Snowboard" is a must see for every snowboarders new, intermidiate, or experienced.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
This is such a good video. I'm at a plateau in my riding that i'm sure these tips will help me overcome. Thank you!!
Riding mogul fields really helped me to progress to jumps as it trained me to properly bend my knees and ankles and control my balance.
Love this video! One of the best ! Great job guys
Whenever there is powder, it always thinks it can bring its dumb friend moguls.
Yeah I rode deep powder for my first time the other day and I would say this is very true that while they weren’t true moguls because obviously those are man made...the powder did create substantial bumps that lined each run and they had to be ridden the same way u would ride a mogul which was tough but I’d say counter rotation was my main mistake that day because although I did really well on some runs other I would force a toe side turn and fall so thanks for the help Snowboard Addiction!
This is pure gold, thank you!
Your videos are just great - helps alot for improvement and from there on develop skills further -Thx
Great video, these basic concepts are the same for riding bumps on skis also.
Very true!
Very useful tips 👍
Going across without turning at first really helped me pre video. But I swing my back door out too much so I'll be jumping through my turns Monday to keep my hips alined
The best instrutor!😍😄👏👏👏👏👏👏🎊🎉🎊🎉
Brilliant & thanks for the well-made video! You present the info in a clear & concise manner Personally, I love bumpy terrain & downhill riding. Started snowboarding after my first half dozen years or so on the mountains as a skier, so perhaps that's part of it
Thanks for the awesome comment.

Hey thanks so much for the well described exercices!
Great video your riding is so smooth and looks sick 💼
My friend and I went through a huge mogul field, he was skiing I was snowboarding and I literally fell down the hill head-first laughing my head of the whole time. Funniest thing.
There is so much time-wasting nonsense masquerading as helpful advice on CZcams, but this is clear, concise, and valuable, and I know I'll be watching it again on the lift this weekend (if it's not too cold for my phone to stay on). With lessons north of $300 per session at some resorts, I'm sure many others have turned to CZcams for help refining their snowboarding or skiing. Using the top of an upcoming mogul to slow down and initiate a turn was a big help, and also those independent shock absorbers, bending the knee as it hits the front incline and extending as you hit a decline... I think between this and someone explaining zipperlining through a mogul field on skis, these walls of bumps have gone from intimidating to exciting.
Thank you for the kind words, we do our best!
Awesome mate great tips
awesome and informative video!!!
Thank you this was super helpful
I learned so much from this! thank you
very helpful. thanks for sharing
thanks!! the ski resort I usually ride at is usually groomed and that goes for almost all of the trails there but today they got some new snow so apparently they did not have enough time to groom some of the blues and blacks (which it was a bumpy pow day for sure) so I caught myself falling a lot and losing my balance because I am not used to it being that bumpy anyways this video helped a lot now tomorrow I will feel less like a beginner 🤘😂
You make that look so good, damn.
Very very very good job ty for yr precious advices u could be a very good instructor thanks bro
Great video.
You are a good snowboarder
If I get some moguls filled slopes in the next snowboarding day next month, I will really pay attention if I do what you explained here, and eventually practice it.
Of course any of these snowboarding improvement tips is useless, if one doesn't take the necessary pre season physical training. The vast majority of techniques to improve snowboarding require firm and strong muscles, and people who do not have them yet, simply struggles after few minutes
I do most of what the video detailed except I definitely use counter rotation to try to turn sometimes. Gotta work on it
I ran full-speed into one of these bumpy trails and dislocated both shoulders last year.
Sorry, somehow it sounds funny :D but I guess it wasn't very funny at all :O
ohhh no! man
Excelente buen rey 🤝🏾💎
Great instructions for beginners like me ))
Well, I can go through the mogul field with dynamic riding but I typically skid to save energy for the rest of the day. I think there's no point to prove you're technical on the runs you don't like, it's about having fun on the runs you like.
Well i guess once you get good at them they can become a lot of fun for a challenge. You wont become good at them though when you just skid through
If you ride a Big Mountain you need need to be able to handle everything that it throws at you. Riding Groomers is fun but if your Hill is known for being a place where big Powder Days happen then you want to know how to survive with the best energy management possible.
Thank you 😄
do you know this guy? this is him 4 years ago. still as awesome.
Of course!
Works Great !
As a bump rider, totally agree with everything in this video. The only thing I would add is to watch his back hand - he keeps it in and close to his hip which keeps his weight centered over the board and his upper body "quiet" and connected to his lower half. Just watch all the people making mistakes in the video and they are waving their hands all over the place instead of just using your knees/feet. This leads to an unbalanced, higher center of gravity and your upper body being thrown in the opposite direction from your board.
0:28 that looks so much like The Wall on the French Swiss border near avoriaz. Probably America though?
Thanks for updating your introduction to moguls and for discouraging snowboarders from side slipping through them Nev-san. Keeping the upper and lower body in alignment is great for learning the basics, but we aren't jazzed about that form for advanced level riding in bumpy terrain. Happy shredding, avoid moguls at your own risk fwiends!
I'm not sure if it's just the video, but some these look like some small moguls or "natural bumps". Every video I've seen where there were close large moguls seem to show the rider employ some form of "counter-rotation", although not as exaggerated as in this example. Usually the arms seem to go the opposite of way of the board to initiate a quick turn (more like a skid).
Smaller bumps are typically used to demonstrate the basics. When riding larger moguls in the steeps, we find that separating the upper and lower body allows for faster turn execution. For advanced level riding in bumpy terrain we like to see the shoulders pointed down hill and have the lower body move with the board. There are some examples and tips for snowboarding in moguls on our channel you may find of interest. Happy shredding!
@@rasmasyean I agree there is some counter-rotation at 7:36 - I think in the example before then (7:17-7:31) the guy with the red jacket was relying on his back leg to do all the work where he should be leading with the front leg - 60/40 weight split as they say. That would give him more control down the hill.
@@jeremym2313 Nev "leads" the turn with his upper body. That's not the same "counter rotation" as in the red rider. The red rider is rotating his arms OPPOSITE to the turn direction, while simultaneously rotating the board into the turn direction. It's not necessary to do this in these "baby moguls" used in this vid. However in other vids with moguls worth their discussion, all "good riders" perform this type of counter rotation. To my knowledge, neither Nev nor other advanced riders have demonstrated success in a REAL mogul field using "proper body alignment" they keep talking about. But most others do counter-rotation. This video is for beginners in beginner slopes as far as I can tell. When you up the level of the terrain, you need different methods.
what binding angles are you usng in your front and back foot? thanks!!
Just get out there and ride, best advice !!! Start young lol it will hurt less !
Great tutorial. Moguls can be fun when you know how to Ride them, unfortunately, i don't see a lot of riders who know how...
3/4 of my day in the pow
I used to hate them but now I actually like them, a helpful tip also to go through them is follow a good fast skier and copy his lines just behind him. And also putting your board exaggerated on an edge to carve through them as the snow in between moguls is generally quite hard. And the most fun part about them is to jump them when there's not too many people around.
I ride with mostly skiers so I need to do this and like it. Thank you for these tips. I feel like I'm doing what you do but I don't look like that (as my daughter will attest). Wiil intermediate lessons help or will make my daughter film my horribleness be better for me? -no ego
Nev you are a beast 💪
just got my season pass. your vids are pregame!
I mistakenly read “picking your line” to “risking your life”… great tutorial!
most riders don't enjoy bumpy terrain, but i do ( :
One must be precise to ride smooth, every bump should be a kicker and that means lot of fun.
You guys do great tutorials... But if you rely on the board Flex to get your pop in the Moguls then you'll never get good in the moguls... It's all about saved energy with your flexion and extension
One thing you do, that you didn't touch on specifically in your explanation that I think is worth pointing out and drilling on, is to shuffle your snowboard fore and aft under your hips. 5:18 When you finish your turns in bumps you accomplish it by moving your rear foot under your rear hip with a quick little shove forward of both feet. (If that's what you're reinforcing with the wheelie technique - well done.) You make the opposite movement to create nose pressure to start the next turn. By comparison, in your 'body position on groomed runs' demonstration, to add pressure to the rear you drop your rear hip more, allowing more of your upper body weight to influence the pressure. Even getting in the back seat more. Then a fairly large heave of the torso both fore/aft and toe/heel. While this distinction is subtle, I think it's critical to the discussion. On groomers you subconsciously allow yourself more upper body influence on the board because you know it will hold. In more dynamic terrain you can't afford to allow that much ballast to move that far from your center of edge contact. Your upper body in the bumps stays very tightly connected to your intended line while your legs and board under your hips move around to create nose/center/whole/tail pressure where needed. Better balance, better directional influence, more predictability and anticipation. This minutiae in lower body pressure adjustment is the key to bumps, deep powder, and park features.
This might be going past the scope of the video, but you also pivot between your feet a lot in the bumps which contributes greatly to quick and positive directional changes by keeping contact as you move around the 'dome'. I would love to see you do a video incorporating those types of pivots into an exercise.
For those reading along casually wondering what's this old fart on about? Imagine holding yourself up off the ground between two parallel bars. Strapped into your snowboard, keep your torso immobile then slide your snowboard towards one tip and then the other. Nose and tail. Once back on the ground, move your torso over the nose and tail. They are very different movements. How fast can you move your body over your feet compared to how fast can you move your feet under your body? Also, what does it take to slow down your upper body once it's got momentum? I dragged myself into too much detail again... my point here is... It's a very quick and effective movement to shuffle your board nose to tail without committing so much upper body mass away from your edge.
Now think about this. You can do the same thing toe to heel. Also very powerful in the bumps and demonstrated in the video above. Heel edge towards toe, then toe edge towards heel at 5:24, pretty easy to see.
Hi Twongo, I think you should have a go at making a video on the subject and if it turns out good, we will share it on our platforms. I had read of your comment but it's quite hard to follow from just text. A video would make it far easier to see what you are trying to explain. I will forward this to Nev. Cheers
@@SnowboardAddiction Text is hard to make clear. I see what I'm referring to in your riding and was thinking how cool it would be to see SA do a video on shuffling. I'll think about it more and see if I can make a video that would inspire you to make a better one.
thanks!
Tombstone Kid is still the best mogul snowboarder ever
tge skiiers always look like janitors on the slops lol
I did learn ut myself but luckly ive been skiing sience i was 3y old and snowboarding sience 8 so i did it natruly when i tried to ride in the bumpy terrain
What kind of boards do you recommend for this terrain? All-mountain vs all-mountain/pow? Do you recommend a medium flex board over a stiffer board for this?
I’ve never been snowboarding but I do skate how hard is it to learn to snowboard is it anything like skating
I confess I use counter rotation🥴 Probably should go back and lay a more solid foundation to stay turning with upper and lower body in alignment..
damn mane i live in germany and after 12am/1pm mostly of the slopes are shitty like this one. its horrible for the leg muscles when u are exhausted and still have to ride a valley decent like this after a day of boarding.
at 5:35 is that a skid turn? Do you still have to flex the ankle to engage the edge like carving? thanks
It's a great video about how to deal with bumps :) I've got one question - you talk about straight back but at 7:00 your back isn't straight at all so what's the right way to ride? :P
mYOUsic it is straight his butt is just back
lekker bezig !! 1Love
Just tried moguls for the first time, ate shit, now I'm here
Our moguls are SOLID ICE
Also after bumpy terrain your legs hurts like hell, and you exhausting more quickly. I do not like Cheget Mountain because of that terrain all around
Класс! Отличные рекомендации и техника исполнения👍
It wouldnt be a problem. The only problem is the psychic boundary not do go faster or just to try it at this speed.
Thing about moguls is I can get past them fine, but my legs are in agony afterwards lmao
Exactly my thoughts. If this mogul terrain is really long (like 2 km of this), it feels like leg stop working completely at some point.
once you can ride them faster theirs less strain on your body, unless you send it
Cycle all summer, that will help.
Any chance I can send you some footage for some tips??
wait a minute, what are other snowboarders seeking out if not bumps?
Speed wobble is an issue im having any advice
I must be one of the only snowboarders who actually likes moguls
Fucking love it. Bumps are the best! Ok, maybe after Pow and slush. Just send it!
I have snowboarded for eight days in total and can ride down the red and some black "slopes" or whatever you wanna call them, and i want to be compared, kinda. I can do pretty fast zigzags and some easy tricks, how good am I?(make your own skale fx. 1-10/bad-good)
I scratch down them toe edge to knock them down when I can. More cuts on the same lines == bigger moguls. Skiers do the same cuts all the time and it is what creates them to begin with. If they just picked a different line, they wouldn't exist!
