#HowToSnowboard #MalcolmMoore - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
With anything in life, if someone makes something look effortless, then that's a sign of mastery. Your raw run video looked effortless!
i just want to say.. my anticipation for the season was so immense i watched so much content and your center of gravity video changed the entire sport for me.. I went from kicking when I panic to stop to smoothly riding my edges and thats thanks to you!
ok so im kinda confused watching the gravity vid. What info did you take from that vid.
@@seaofmemes8796 just the way you drop your body into the edge and the way the board carved deeply and effortlessly. Idk it was weird it just immediately changed it for me
You'll need a relatively stiff and similar gear to maintain the same level of edge control. It starts with board, bindings, etc...
Love that! Glad it helped!!
which is 'the gravity video' if I may ask, a number of his videos talk about gravity but is there really the ONE gravity vid... need to watch
"Well I mean Gravity is actually just the curvature of spacetime"
gold gold gold
😂🤷
😂 by far the best part of a great tutorial
Man, this one threw me off. Love it
This video just made the missing link I had in my snowboarding snap into place. I will forever remember this. Thank you for this video! Helped me so much forever 🙏
Hey Malcolm, I've been riding since 1995 and still learn so much from your videos. This is a technique I've managed to pick up and it's great to hear it broken down like that. Will give me something to focus on if I get away this year.
Malcolm, great information as always. id like to thank you for the time and work you put into your videos! you brought me from never using a board to being confident on the slopes and actively learning and focusing on technique while going down the slopes, this will be my 3rd Canadian season. once again THANK YOU !
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been snowboarding for decades. I do fine, mostly self taught. I watched this and so many things clicked into place and with this simple awareness/change, my technique improved so much and I work so much less.
Malcolm is so good at explaining things to its fundamentals. I do think a physics Nobel prize should be your next goal after snowboarding 🤙
Haha, I can try!
@@suz4359 "physics Nobel prize" sounds a lot like "Nobel Prize in Physics", don't you think?
U definitely teaches me a lot this is my 3rd year snowboarding I’m not perfect but I’m ok but ur videos make me feel confident
Malcom always hits the key points other youtube instructors miss. Love the physics lesson and theory behaind why we need to do something.
Thanks!
Thanks dude, watched far too many of your vids last year. Best snowboard tutorials!
Wow, thanks, appreciate that!
no, thank you sir 😁@@malcolmmoore
Today was my first day of the season and I tried to work on the centre of mass over the board concept from your first video of the season but was having some issues on choppy snow. I intuitively tried learning the hip and knees forward a bit to get more control over each turn, which I think ties in with what you mention here, and it helped.
Awesome, and yeah, that sounds right!
Great video, I've been riding 15 years but I still like to go back to basics every now and then to try and sort any bad habits I may have gotten into. Cheers.
Good stuff!
i came across this video while I was looking through youtube to do some prep before riding for the first time. The diagram showing the center of mass help so much. I was able to do an S-turn within a couple of tries. You really made my day! I looked through my history just so I can subscribe to your channel thankyou!
Ahh amazing thanks so much!! Real glad you found them helpful 😊🙌🫶
Dude, this video was a game changer for me. I was struggling to do the S turns because I was using just my heels/toes technique with a lil bit of shoulders. But I woke up this morning, saw your video and hit the slopes and I was doing the S so smoothly. Thank you very much
Awesome, glad it helped!
Great video. Thanks for the advice related to posture.
I do agree thathaving good posture helps. But the average, just like you mentioned also works.
im a decent boarder but not good enough, i am a decent rider but not good enough. I love the similarities and philosophies you put in riding a motorcycle and boarding!!
this is the first season im riding my own board and almost a year in owning my very own dirt bike!
I can not live without both, thank you Malcolm.
Nice, I want a dirtbike, I think I would seriously hurt myself though!
Bonjour Malcolm - I was wondering, if possible, if you'd be able to post more videos of live coaching with intermediate riders? Of course, not sure if possible because of permission issues or if you don't record your coaching sessions, but would definitely help to see you coaching live.
As everyone else, i've been watching your channel over the years and your videos have single-handedly saved me thousands of dollars on lessons and taken my riding to many new levels that wouldn't be possible with spending money. Appreciate the free content you put out and you are in the top 5 best instructors out there, if not the best. Merci beaucoup!
Hi Malcolm! Thank you for the video. For beginners such as myself who falls quite often from catching an edge, should I prioritize learning and improving my center of mass changes as discussed in this video or knee steering & remembering exactly when to turn using the direction line & standing up in between that you mentioned in earlier videos?
I just wanna make sure I'm prioritizing the most important concept. if you believe they're all equally important then I'll do that!
This TH-cam instructor is hands down the best for snowboarding. When I discovered his channel, I was an intermediate snowboarder struggling with my technique and occasional counter-rotation. Now, thanks to his guidance, I've progressed to an intermediate-advanced level. Even though I live in Switzerland, I would love to have a few personal lessons with him because he truly knows his stuff! Would love to learn switch riding
Hey thanks so much this is really kind! I do teach in Alpe d'Huez so have a look on my website for details for next season. Also I have a pretty good video on riding switch already so feel free to check it out, hope it helps!!! 😊😊
I like the way youre always glancing behind you to see whats coming . I always tell my son to stop at the edge of the piste and face up the slope ... you never know whos coming out of control . Great vid . 👌
Yeah safety always, thanks for watching 😊✌️
I LOVE that the video is one-take !!! Very original and highly practical tutorial
Thanks 🙏😊✌️
Luv this dude. Been putting these lessons to use, even this late in the Late Late Late Spring 2024 Tahoe Season.
Your videos have helped me progress massively this season. Thank you very much!
Glad to help!
I've learned snowboarding on my own, by instinct, and I've learned a lot of bad things this way. At some point I was struggling to get better. Your videos help me a lot to correct myself and have some pleasure on my board in a way I didn't expect. Thank you Malcolm 🙏
Awesome, great to hear!
My goal this season is to copy your snowboarding form. It's so satisfying to watch!
Hey Malcolm, I want to thank you for your great videos, they really helped me to learn how to ride. I just returned from my first trip to the slopes, and in one week I went from complete noob to someone who can let it go and enjoy the ride!
That's awesome to hear, thanks for sharing!
Love your videos! They really help me remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I've been riding over 25 yrs and I'll be 70 this winter and plan on riding on my birthday. One move that helped me (and everyone I've shown it to) is to think of slightly sitting on a heel edge turn and slightly kneeling on a toe edge turn. Cheers!
You started riding when you were 45 and still going,That’s impressive 👏
As someone starting at 40, this gives me hope
Yeah good tip!! Thanks so much and enjoy the shred on your birthday!!! Cheers back at ya 😊😊😊
@@FurryNightmare666 I started snowboarding last December 2023 at 58 (at my daughters request) so I could be with both my kids (her and her brother) who are passionate snowboarders. Since I started late, I did a crash course by buying great gear in January - all Burton, step-ons, AK clothing etc. (I have not time to experiment and now a platinum member :). Took a membership at a local snowboarding hill and lessons every Saturday with practice on Sundays since then (16 times so far and going). And most importantly watched all of Malcolm's videos with each step of progress every chance I get. Now I can turn properly and comfortable with difficult blues in two months. I should be decent when I go with the kids on a 3 day snowboarding trip in the mountains in April! I will also continuously try to improve with the same method as my body keeps getting stronger, lost a lot of weight(fat) and I have so much energy at work. So at 40, you have all the time in the world!
Malcolm never disappoints 😅
Thanks 😁✌️
Thank you Malcolm! Your content is, without hesitation, the best snowboard content on the web. The way you simplify and logically step through each technique makes it very easy to translate my own riding and take it to the mountain. I don’t see any discussion in your videos about shoulder movement. When carving, should I be opening my leading shoulder on my heel edge and sightly closing of my leading shoulder on my toe edge to help pull the board around?
I can't remember exactly what I say I this video but I should cover shoulders a bit more:
th-cam.com/video/eKmHng_lh74/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iTmXjROlXQTyfktj
I am currently editing a video for more advanced carving that covers this a bit more. The problem with talking about using the upper body is that it's not a 100% all the time rule, you can use them to anticipate and pull you into a turn, and open them up to better angulate your body for hard carving, but it's only when the conditions allow and you're making the right kind of turns for that. I'm always a little hesitant to talk about some of that stuff as people who aren't ready for it start trying to do things that won't help them!
Understand and agree. It’s a very subtle movement but I find it helps engage my carve and when the board comes around, everything comes back into alignment and I’m stacked. Keep the great content coming!
Awesome video, finding the right balance is exactly the problem I'm having right now. Will really give these tips a try next time!
You got this!
Yes!!! I learn something that connects every time I watch this video
Amazing 🙏☺️
Always amazed that Malcom rides on sunny days, on cord and sometimes all by himself. Heaven. Thanks for your detailed guidance.
Thanks for stopping by 🙌
You are simply carving Heaven. Can’t remember a day of driving with no one next to you. Enjoy your life 🤙🏻
Thanks, you too!
Thanks!! Most helpful video I've seen that really helps me understand what I need to do.
Thankyou, glad to help, and of course I appreciate the tip 🙏
Wow. I hope I will someday start with snowboarding. I am 38, never been on the ski resorts for skiing/snowboarding (only for sledding), but it is my big wish to get this done one day, before I am gone... You make it so easy. Not interested in tricks, just to ride down the hill, effortlessly and easy.
As someone who started at 35: go for it!
Be good to yourself. Start soon. It’s a fantastic sport.
I didn't start until I was 40... and I really wish I would've had these videos when I did.
I say go for it. I started when I was a teenager, went for a couple of years, and then due to a series of shit life decisions, I stopped for years. At around age 35, I started again during COVID, and it has been an amazing experience. It is something that has been really fun to learn. It can be frustrating at first, but once you get down a slope without falling you'll feel like a new man.
A man has two lives. First one starts at birth, second one begins when he discovers snowboarding. Take it one day at a time and enjoy it. Nothing like it!
I really love watching you snowboard lol
🙏
I think what fools me in this video is how the camera moves with body instead of with your board, so it always looks like your body is staying still and you kick your board from the front to the back and to the front again 😅 instead of you following the gravity with your body and the board just tilting. But I think I get what you mean. Honestly can't wait to try it out in January. Your explanations are very helpful 🙏
I'm a beginner and I love your channel and videos. I've been twice now and am able to do S turns and I'm now working on getting my S turns smoother and less wobbly. One the things I find that works for me is the sensation of being up on my toes when I'm on my toe edge. I tried your lever strategy but found I just couldn't get myself to focus on it. I think the sensation of being up on the toes helps me ensure my weights in the right place...any advise for me?
Thanks for that video, many people didn't believe me, when I said, that snowboarding is easy, you stand on the board, the board rides down, you step off of the board. Now I have proof!
Well said!
thank you, looks very very smooth
thanks for your helpful tips
You're welcome!
favourite youtuber on snowboarding
😍😍
i'm so on the edge on just jumping in my campervan and driving to the Apls... looks like soo lovely conditions... just a 1000km away
I just started your vids and I want to apply those that I learned into
Practice to improve my skills
I’ve been riding for a few years, took one lesson on my very first day and learned the rest on my own. Turns out I’ve picked up some bad habits and I’m learning the proper techniques now. Your idea of center of gravity and torsional twist really helped me! I tried that yesterday and I feel so much more stable on my board. Your explanations are like no one else’s. Thank you for making these amazing videos!
The track you left behind is flawless.
👽
Thank you!
More thinks to think about when I snowboard 👍
Thanks for watching ☺️
Love your stuff mate. My go to channel was mostly Snowboard Procamp of Kevin, but I got a new number one now! 🥇
Haha brilliant! Thanks for the support 🙏😊✌️
Very very good explanations!🤗
Thank you! 😃
Fantastic video. You are a great communicator.
Thank you kindly!
I can wait to put this all to work!
Thank you!
More thinks to think about when I snowboard
Enjoy 🙌🏼🙌🏼
this dudes got a very relaxing voice. makes it sound so easy lol
Amazing content, can’t wait for the next one!
Coming soon!
Amazing video...well explained tutorial!
Thanks so much 😊😊✌️
Hey Malcolm great video and great tips as always, I learnes my basics and everything from mostly watching you, but I would like you to ask to myb make a video on learning path, like what to learn first and then how to progress like what would be learning order of skills to round up ?
Great suggestion!
Another great vid! That Corduroy tho!!!! 🤙🏽
The best!
Thank you so much Malcolm. I hope I'll progress this Season. Im struggling with my heelside turn. My back leg is alway kicking out and when I force it to make a gripped turn I often lose balance and fall down. It's strange because it feels easier when I'm riding switch.
That's weird, hopefully it sorts itself out this season!
Another great video! Center of mass on the inside was a great tip!
😊😊 thanks for watching
Damn..!!! Another good one... We are hoping to Go to Canada in Feb so going to be revisiting this and pretty much your back catalogue of Vids before and during the trip. :O)
Haha hope they help and you have a great trip!!
What a great, well presented video. Appreciate all your efforts.
Thanks so much!!
@@malcolmmoore
We are off to Morzine on the 20th Jan.
100% gonna try this on my Bataleon Whatever.
Very good video nice
in very very simple wards I will explain it 2. lets imagine a simple s-turn, in each turn we lean in the same direction as our turn. if the turn is sharp move your mass quick in the front foot (start the turn)while lean afterwards(as your momentum goes forward) a little back and simultaneously lean in the same direction as our turn. If it is sharp and steep do all the previous with your mass close to the board
Literally binge watched your videos until my 2nd time ever snowboarding at keystone, Breckinridge, and Vail.
You sir saved my life and got my progression to carving and falling only 10% of the time 😂 trying to get confidence for the side hits tomorrow
Great to hear!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
I like this video. I hope I can learn toe edge soon
Thanks!
Awesome you're the best, thanks!
Thanks for the video again
No problem!
Nice video bro!!
Thanks 🙏😊✌️
Thx for nice instructions! Now you make me wonder if I do have average posture.. not so sure.. Some time soon I will release a video of my amateur driving I think :p crashes included..
Haha yeah let's see the crashes 😂😂😊😊
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Letting gravity pulling your body over the board is the opposite of what I’ve been doing because I’m afraid of falling so I always move my body away from gravity and let my board go towards gravity. So what you said makes sense. I’m going to try to change my mind set. Thank you so much.
Hope it helps, good luck!
Great video .
Thanks, hope you're well!
Where is this? Such a beautiful and clean space!
Damn! Didn't know you were filming in Switzerland! Are you staying for a while? Will have to keep an eye out every weekend now. Zermatt was fantastic last weekend. Going to Laax soon!
Anyway, great content as always. Thanks for your super clear explanations!
I was only there briefly, back teaching in France now. But it can be difficult for me to film now I'm teaching 6 days a week, so I always film about 8 vids early season!
Have a great winter bud 🏂
Thanks pal!!
Ride onewheels and you do heal toe turns and on trails on that I’m going snowboarding for the first time next month I’m expecting a harder edge and more locked in feeling
Very nice mountain. Where is it?
Great vid! Thanks Malcolm. That a Jones Stratos you’re on?
Stranda biru!! 😊😊
Hey Malcolm, love your videos as always❤ May I ask how to ride effortlessly in crud? Besides having a harder board, how can you keep control of pressure in varied conditions that are not 8AM groomed runs?
Well crud is rarely effortless, but this older video might help!

Another great video. We have a big family holiday this year Malcolm. We will be in Les Deux Alpes (11th to the 18th Feb). My nieces and nephews have learned to Snowboard from your videos. If you're about I'd love to get you to give us all a lesson. Not sure if you have a few pints but lunch will include a few pints:) We can see who's the man after 10 pints in the afternoon. Only joking for the younger viewers DO NOT DRINK AND THEN SNOWBOARD
Haha, unfortunately I'll be pretty slammed over in alpe d'huez though as that is about as busy as it gets during the holidays!
@@malcolmmoore No worries Malcolm. Bet you didn't know but you are now a local hero with my nieces and nephews from Cork:)
Thanks for another helpful and informative video, great to see your content coming through regularly again. On a side note is that the ‘Biru’ and how is it??
Yes, and so far I'm loving it. Gonna try and stick to 2 boards this season. Nidecker Sensor Plus for everyday teaching, any park and just cruising around, but the Biru when I want to start carving a bit harder or riding powder!
Thanks for the feedback!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
i really like you videos and tutorials, helped me alot in the past by getting better at riding. Just wondering, are you riding alone most of the time or just taking time alone for the videos?
Taking time alone for the videos, you can actually see my friend who I ride with alot lurking in the background of this one waiting for me to finish blabbering on 😂
Gold!
Hey Malcolm, glad to see you again on youtube. I noticed u have a new board (stranda biru), can u tell us something about it? How is it compared to the amplid Dada? And lastly, have you ever ride a splitboard? Ciao from Italy
I splitboard a little, mostly just at the end of the season when we shut. The Biru is much more aggressive than the Dada, and has a tight sidecut that loves to carve!
great video as always - i had a question regarding knee steering. i’m trying to progress from up unweighted turns to knee steering and wanted to know - do you still need to stand up with the knee steering movement or do you stay in a position with knees slightly bent and use gravity to pull your knees/hips across the board like mentioned in this video? thanks!
You don't have to use knee steering with an up unweighted movement, but you can, quite effectively as you sink back down, think about sinking into front leg then back leg after to ease the board into and then through the turn. Honestly though, I'm kind of going off talking about all these up and down movements, it's not something I really think about when I'm riding, and apart from telling it to beginners to help them pass their centre of mass over the board, it can sometimes become a bit confusing. Because crossing your centre of mass over the board is the main thing you need to do, and if you can use your legs independently as you do this (as I explain at the end of this video just in case you didn't catch the end!) then that movement can be even more effective. Once you're pretty comfortable making smooth s shaped turns of various sizes on various terrain then I would revisit up or down unweighted movements in order to derive more performance from the board. Sorry, long answer and I can't now remember your question!
Malcom I have to say I am impressed by and did not at all expect your brief aside on general relativity 😂
Haha, it's a side interest of mine!
i have been riding for a few seasons now and i have burtons infidel disc bindings and im going to upgrade but to what is my question? i feel like those are not that good quality. Ive been looking at some step ons from burton, clew, nidecker and flow. its just so many choises lol, is it even worth it with step on? and if its not what normal type should i get? btw thank you for posting!. you have really helped me alot and other riders! but i do struggle with carvings but i get there soon!
May i ask what kind of microphone are you using for this video mate?Nice video and board lesson.Thanks for the video and the answer in advance!
Rode lav mic with a wind fur, you can see it on my jacket 👍
How is your board (bindings set up)? You also have a lot of gap between your rear boot and your binding back on your rear led. What is your set up back there?
Hey Malcolm, thanks for the vids!! keep uploading regularly it is very enjoyable.
Quick question: which mode did you use on the INSTA360 X3 to film this video? Thanks
Malcolm thanks for making this video! May I know what's your binding angles? Many thx!
I'm either in +18-9 or +15-12 😊😊
@@malcolmmoore Malcolm thanks so much for your reply! +15-12 for more freestyle prone?
That's more more usual stance, +18-9 more for carving 😊
@@malcolmmoore Thank you again!
I'm working my way through your vids after discovering you on my return from a boarding trip to Andorra just over a week ago and struggling with a few things. Although I won't be going anywhere for another year, I may go to our local indoor slope to practice. Are you able to help with something. When I did my lessons indoor a few years ago, I was taught to lift my toes to turn onto the heal edge and then lift my heels to get onto the toe edge. I use this pedal style motion for controlling most of my turns and it's clearly bad practice as my calves were burning after day 1 and as I got through each day on the slope things just got more painful. How can I get out of this habit of using my toes so much? I just couldn't switch it off for the 6 days I was on the slopes. I've watched your posture and turning vids and all makes complete sense, I just need to replace these bad habits with the correct ones, it's just never that easy. Thanks
Yeah I don't like this habit for this exact reason, it's super fatiguing. Try this video, hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/BqJcXN4W0fU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LfkxOyFrIM3M5UbO
Hi Malcolm. What kind of board are you riding. I se it's not the Amplid anymore. It looks like the Stranda Biru. A board i have my eye on! If it is please do a review of it🙏
It is the Biru! It's my go to this season!!
@@malcolmmoore i was hoping it was!! There are not many reviews on it. Are you going to make one? 🙏
Useful.
Glad you think so!
@@malcolmmoore This is what I was getting at in our other conversation, this and that other video you posted from Tux the other day. You're targeting the most efficient way to make the board work...
I am trying to combine an effortless riding with the carving rule for a "pencil line" behind you and this does not happen often. The carving turns you were doing in the video were also not thin pencil lines in their middle section. So, does that mean when we are riding effortlessly we shall not be so demanding about the strict carving?
where is this wonderful place???!!!
Hi Malcolm! I cannot find any video regarding going through narrow and steep slopes simultaneously. I cannot imagine going there with short turns but rather only skidding and the worst thing ever counter rotation to control the speed or slow down when needed and not skid on one side of a board only. Could you please make a video about this? I cannot find a solution for this and feel very stressful going down on the narrow steep slopes. I believe a lot of people have this issue.
If it's only about 2m wide then counter rotation and skidding might be your best option, I never seem to find these pistes though! Ultimately in crappy conditions you might just be best off doing some crappy riding, always look for the better more enjoyable pistes!
What board you riding this year? Also curious to know your binding angles
I'm on the Stranda Biru or the Nidecker sensor plus this season mostly.
+18-9 or +15-12 😊✌️🙌
hi malcolm. love your videos.
do you have any specific advice for a rocker-dominant board? my GNU GWO uses mild camber underfoot but rocker shape between the feet. i have a hard time locking into carves and find my back foot slipping out. are there any techniques that help with my kind of setup?
Hi mate, I had a Riders Choice last season and one thing that someone advised me and helped me was pivoting my leading foot knee when doing the turns. So in a sense slightly opening the knee on my toe to heel edge turn and closing it a bit when going heel to toe edge turn. Hope that helps!
Btw tried the GNU GWO a couple of times and oh boy was it a fun board!
I have a GNU and a Burton Custom camber, on the GNU is very hard to do some carves because it always wants to skid, it`s more easyer on a camber but i love the magnatraction on the GNU, it`s a lot of grip on ice compared to my Burton :)
