I went to the Austrian alps last week and thanks to your videos I was able to improve my boarding technique from day one. Haven't been boarding for 10 years and it was just great. Thanks man. 🙏🏻
Started snowboarding last year. My experience from falling on bunnies to now carving black diamonds, all self taught through your tutorials and drills really helped to improve my muscle memory. To be honest, I was really frustrated with the sport initially from wipe outs and multiple injuries. But your tips to embrace the failures, learn the proper movements, form, and techniques made snowboarding very enjoyable. The tutorials are simple, improving upon each step of the way. Thank you Malcolm, and happy carving!
I totally agree! I’ve done the same. Taught myself last year mid year with his videos. First full year and turned 40 in November. Day 40 of the season for me tomorrow. Just started doing some double black diamond runs from the Ridge Cat here in Colorado.
When my son was 19, he became a better snowboarder than me. Yesterday (5 years later), he told me that I was riding really well and that I had improved tremendously. I owe most of my improvement to MM. He’s the real deal.
Just came back from riding on ice and thanks to your videos I can actually manage all conditions now. I'm an older lady and sometimes random kids laugh at me. When we get to the bottom of the hill, they're not laughing anymore. Thank you! You made it possible.
It's quite possible to carve on ice, though not on as steep a slope as with good snow. Save your compression for the bottom half of the turn and make more gradual turns. Movements need to be gentler and more progressive. Best learned on a gentle blue or even green run
I've never sent money to a TH-camr (directly) before, but your videos have helped me so much. I feel like I owe you a lot more than this 😂 thanks for helping us all!!
Thank you malcolm for making such amazing tutorials. Ive been snowboarding for 10 years now and thanks to advice from you and others like you i was able to ride my first double black diamond this season. Thank you so much for your videos
This channel is simply the best resource available for snowboarding technique. I've been boarding on and off for 10+ years or so and I think I use many of the techniques described, probably not perfectly, but hearing these crystal clear explanations has really helped me understand what I do and when and more importantly what I'm doing wrong. It's actually added a whole new dimension to the sport for me and I have much more fun trying to perfect the different turns rather than just bombing down slope trying to catch up to my kids who are on skis. Thanks Malcom!
Hi Malcolm. I love your tutorials. You explain in easy to understand terms and in practical ways. And you're doing it as you explain it. My issue is inexperience and age. As one ages any sort of injury can be life changing. (Like, never snowboarding, or surfing ever again) It can overrule your enjoyment of the sport. It's purely a mind game. I started snowboarding around 10yrs ago but only ever get to go snowboarding every 2-3yrs. So it's binging on your videos to try to let it sink in. So with a knee replacement one yr ago and closer to 70 than 60, I feel father time is catching up, but I don't want to completely stop the fun. How do I get over the 'fear' factors?
I’m switching from a flattop to camber and this video is helpful because I’m realizing that changing board profiles on hard pack was extra challenging. I need to be more gentle with myself. Another great video!
Good timing! Back off to the slopes in a couple of weeks and will look to follow my nose down the hill much more. Great exercises to get my snow legs back and end my season better than I started, thanks!
Really appreciate your great videos. I've started snowboarding 21yrs ago but had a break for 16ys due to family obligations and just life. Now I'm back again since last year, and started following your advise really improves my riding skills, even I'm an old guy of 55. I'm of course far from perfect, but this year I really learned to carve and turn without skidding. Thanks a lot - you never get too old to learn
Today was my 8th day snowboarding and I can say, I can snowboard. I started to make turns. Toe edge was hard to learn. But we got warm winter here in Minnesota and snow was very slow. I hope I can improve my riding on a real, not 'fake cannon' snow. So excited. But I embrace falling, and pretty hard ones. Stand - fall - repeat. Until it works. I impressed how body starting to understand movements. Long journey of improvement ahead of me.
Heading to Meribel in March after a 10 year hiatus. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, learnt so much and perhaps mostly importantly, rekindled my love for snowboarding. Thanks mate.
Thank you so much for creating all these videos Malcolm! I just got on the slope the other day, and just applied your tutorials and I was actually surprise I am able to snowboard. Lots of falling still, but as you said on tip number 8, just jave fun and I'm loving it!
Hey Malcolm! I've just spent a week in Chamonix and it's the first time I've been back on a snowboard in 9 years! I've been watching your videos every evening as I definitely had some bad habits from when I started learning all those years ago (I came from a background of skateboarding so assumed I knew it all before I'd even set foot on the piste!). Thanks for the tutorials and tips - I've been consciously trying to improve my technique and feel like even after all this time my riding is better than it used to be! Better yet, I've promised myself to get back out as soon as possible. Keep up the amazing videos!
Hey Malcolm! I was wondering if you would be able to make a video on how to safely and effectively traverse or carve down steep narrow runs. That’s one thing that I have been a little sketched out about whenever encountered. Thank you for these amazing videos, I can’t believe how much I have progressed from your tutorials in one season!
Thank you Malcolm. I’m trying to learn snowboarding both late in life and late in this season. I have two hard days of practice under my belt and things are not coming quickly or easily. But before and after each session I’ve been watching as many of your videos as I can and find them very helpful. Thank you. In this video I especially loved learning that my brain is releasing failure chemicals! I’m hoping my third time out really benefits from that megadoses of chemicals I created! In addition to the technical advice your videos also provide a great model for a relaxed confident enjoyable snowboarding which is ultimately my goal. The Internet is full of snowboarding channels but you are my go to channel. Keep up the great work brother.
You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos and that they're encouraging you to get out there and learn a new sport! I'm looking forward to hear how day 3 and 4 go for you! All the best keep at it, you got this 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Pro tip: never, ever, forever leave your board, like Malcom did, flat on the slope, if it manages to move slightly you might never see it ever again but you can also hit someone with it. Instead turn it upside down, securing it with the straps in the snow. Malcom is a pro, and he knows what he is doing, you might not. Hope it helps
Amazing and practical video. Great delivery of concepts and foundational snowboarding movements. Tapping into your instruction is so easy. A snowboarding instructor in the palm of my hand and in pocket!!!!! LETSGETIT!!!
Absolutely fantastic timing bro! I'm off this Saturday and needed a quick brush up so thanks for the video! Need to iron out those bad habits. Plus I need to be more fluid and less stiff. Any tips for stretching exercises to drop the rust before my return after 2 winters? The stiff ligaments in my legs let me down, especially my hamstrings. I want to unlock the next level of boarding :) Your efforts are much appreciated 👍🏼
I know i am not malcolm but maybe this is useful :) yoga with xavier delerue. Or else the mobility duo. Both on youtube, not sure if it is okay to post links
@@rutgerros I appreciate that thank you. You're the second person to suggest yoga to fix my lack of flexibility. Also, recently discovered that I've been skating incorrectly with my rear leg in front of the board instead of behind. I've got some work to do :)
whatsup, im at the end of our 6 day ski trip in austria, it was my first time ever snowboarding and thanks to your videos i had a blast! It felt really good really fast and your tips helped a lot. i also recommended your videos to a family member and it helped him ride way more effortlessly in an instant. next vacation im gonna try to learn tricks and ill be sure to return to your videos, thanks a lot man❤
I rarely write comments but I wanted to share my improvements thanks to your videos. Day one was obviously painful, but from day two onwards I started to have a lot of fun, taking speed, making nice turns and riding red slopes here in the french Alps. I've always been a surfer/skater so it may have helped me progress easily. So thanks for you work and greetings from Puy Saint Vincent :)
Malcolm you ride on "Sensor Plus" model on this video. It has "Sidekick" feature on noses. Did you use 159W lenght? How would you compare it to "Escape" model in case of carving and edge holding? I know it is not model designed for carving but I would like to know your opinion on this matter.
As an instructor, I've had to move away from labeling skidding turns as bad, as to make the wrong impression on newer riders. In the context of carving it is something you want to avoid for proper form, sure. But like your later points, skidding turns are a very necessary tool in icy terrain or at higher speeds where a carve is not possible/likely to cause a fall. Having experience with the nuance of slide turns helps you greatly in some scenarios. Especially on the east coast :P
Hi Malcolm, I found your channel when I started riding last season. My friends frequently comment how fast I've progressed and I owe it to you - I always send them your playlists and say this is who I learned from! And although I feel like a very comfortable intermediate rider now, my knowledge about owning a snowboard is pretty weak. I got a beginner-intermediate board at a ski swap event, and I don't even know what type of board it is. I want to get a more advanced board so steeper runs and moguls are easier to tackle but I don't know where to begin. Can you do a breakdown of different board types and shapes, terrain/ride styles they're good for, etc? Shoot I've never even adjusted my bindings and backings myself since the board instructor did it for me at the ski swap event 😭😅 the place I dropped it off at yesterday for a hot wax took my bindings off so I figure I better learn lol
Haha, that's great to hear! As for boards, well you're spoilt for choice, but usually picking something in the all mountain category is a good start, and as the name suggests an all mountain board is a do it all board. That said try not to get overwhelmed by all the choices and camber profiles, at the end of the day they're all just a plank of wood with a strip of metal around the edge, and it is your technique and ability that will affect how you ride much more than the board!
So, I had stopped watching your vids, because they were all so much TMI. But finally this is the video that I needed! Really great video and I am glad I didn't skip this one. No mind boggling information that I would never be able to retain! My advice would be to show more instead of micro-managing where every single limb has to be. Just like the first tip, let me know what should the board be doing, and I will try to figure out why I am not managing to do it by looking at your posture. I would really appreciate it if you could explain the turn through board's perspective too. During the turn, what happens first? Does the board changes edge? Edge change and turn happens together? Or you initiate the turn and then the edge change follows? Imagine my board is close to 90 degree to ground and is on heal edge (going to left basically). What initiates the turn now? Do I try to change edge (and fall), get the nose downhill -> switch edge -> turn? or get nose downhill -> turn and switch edge? :') Thanks for this vid!
Hi Malcolm! I just subscribed! It is ridiculously cheap compared to the lessons you teach from your experience! I appreciate what you do for us! Thanks!
Thanks to your videos I finally have carving down without thinking about it. Knee steering finally fully clicked last week, and this week I've been able to do tighter carved turns on steep blacks. Really appreciate what you do. Do you have any tips or advice on moving to one's first double black? A lot of them are steep, with lots of moguls, and have a scary cornice drop to start the run.
Loving the videos Malcolm! Took a tumble a couple of days ago and bashed up my knee pretty bad. I've got my snow boots on in the hotel room, going through the motions from your videos while I wait for the swelling to go down. Wonder if you've got any tips for falling 'gracefully'?
Another awesome video! Thank you, Malcolm! Can’t wait to get out there this weekend to really follow the nose. :-). I still have a little bit of a hard time maintaining the thin line on my toe side turn, but I’ll give another go with your tips. 💪💪
The advice that every turn doesn’t have to be perfect is dead on. Once you learn to carve it’s easy to fall into that mindset. I start most of my turns with an early edge change but the finish is dictated by the conditions or how crowded the run is. Sometimes I’m carving toe side and skidding heal side because the hill is too crowded. The key in my mind is to have a quiver of techniques and to be able to use them as needed. But if it’s a weekday on a wide open run, I’m carving big turns with a smile on my face.
3&4... At some point my brain just went (regular rider) "heels turn left, toes turn right" and it magically made everything simpler. But the real obvious way to improve my riding.......... is wait 4 months and try not to sulk too much as I'm hit by all the algorithm (and subscription, of course) suggestions based on my hobbies. -A totally-not-jealous-at-all Southern Hemisphere Person
Another great video. Your videos make me want to get back on the board as soon as possible. As a follow up to "embrace your failures", what do you recommend about falling? I recently caught edges twice and bruised my ribs because I fell directly onto my fists. How could I fall better to avoid this?
Thank you. Your videos helped a lot. It would be great if you made one about the board profiles. I rode only on flat boards so far and I would like to understand how a camber board might help me and on what kind of snow it would be more useful.
No worries glad you like the videos. Yeah people have a lot of questions about different types of snowboards, I'll put it on the list and see what I can do!
Super nice! Just about the whole video is simply about FLOW! 🙂 Point 3 and 4 are so linked together.... and so underestimated!! When I teach ZE CAARV I spend a lot of time explaining what happens in between turns. Setting up for the next turn is so key to a good turn... Nobody will figure this out on their own, because it's seemingly an unnecessary thing to discuss, as the turn itself seems to be the most important thing... Love you you casually explain all that while riding. It shows that you've done this and thought about it a million times. Nice one, Malcolm! (But don't do that in that bad, bad posi stance that breaks everybody's spines! There's no fun to be found with a broken back! Hahaha...)🙃🤪
@@malcolmmoore the Creator read my message and replied. I'm honored! Sincerely, a not-so-good snowboarder who had the privilege to ride in Finland, Austria, and Sicily (on the Etna volcano). Would be glad to accompany you there if you'd like :-)
@@malcolmmoore I'm not sure about riding on the ash. I've done it on snow, both on Nicolosi and on Piano Provenzana sides. If you're lucky, you can ride your board, see a bit of lava on the top, and at the same time look at see at the bottom... but it needs an eruption and perfect weather :-) Unfortunately the season is relatively short, and the tracks small. But it's a great experience
Love the have fun vibes. Trying to radiate that to my 5 yr old skiier as I take her on her first ski lift, and as for my 2 year old yet undecided snow eater, I'm getting the riglet (=
Amazing advice as always! Can’t thank you enough for all the great tips you shared to improve turns and riding style 🙌🏻 Great video once again! Also, I really like the song you added in the background. Do you mind sharing the name of the artist? 🫶🏻
dude i went from day 1 snowboarder thats clueless to carving going low with my center of mass with insane control and looking sick. Now I am moving into jumping boxes and controlling air
Great video Malcolm! Thanks for putting such great content which helps all of us learn. Would you mind doing a video on riding powder? Or powder through trees? I rode last weekend on a heavy powder day, and it required me to lean more on my back foot, so don't know if that is the correct way to ride on a powder day. Would love to learn the correct technique from you! Cheers!
Haha, I would love to but powder days are very rare where I am, I haven't had a proper powder day since December. Unfortunately here tree skiing isn't much of a thing as it rarely snows down to where the trees are (below about 1800m) and therefore the majority of the resort is above the tree line. That said I do have these older videos on riding pow: th-cam.com/video/h86lL3Mjxn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LfqesV4JitXMRFZd th-cam.com/video/yDSeCk04kvc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XHR4jr_YsN1jEBCs
Honestly it's whatever works for you, a 0 back foot can be tricky if you have larger feet, because of toe and heel drag. But just experiment, it only takes 10 minutes to change your angles if you don't like them!
Malcolm, would you create a video discussing your process to center your boots to the bindings and then bindings to the board? Also, when you would need to consider a wide board? I've seen videos covering this but would be interested in your take.
@@malcolmmoore Appreciate that Malcolm, I'll take a look! I don't get to snowboard too much but I've been subscribed and watching your videos for some time now. For the most part I've been visualizing what I need to do to make good turns based on your videos. When I get to a run I feel prepared but I still have a hard time manipulating the board under me. I don't feel like I can get the board easily from edge to edge, and heading straight down the slope I feel like the board wants to go left eventhough the setup seems centered. That sparked my question to you because I'm thinking that setup (boot to binding to board), or the fact that I bought a wide snowboard many many years ago, could be a contributing factor.
@@malcolmmoore Great video on wide boards, it's like you read my mind! I guess I'll have to up my skills on the wide board or alternatively try out a regular width board and risk the toe/heel drag.
Hi Malcolm ! Thank you for those amazing video ! Looking forward to apply alla those good advices in the next days.. I've got a question, how do you have such clean audio , despite the wind you must have while riding ? Do you have an additionnal mics hooked up to your insta 360 ?
Trying my luck in a more recent video as I initially posted it in a very old one.... @malcolmmoore I love your videos. You explain things in a very natural and easy to understand way. I was wondering what your opinion is on board length and rider weight - do these play much of a role or it is just technique and a lighter rider can get away with a longer board? I am 180 cm and 63kg riding 157 medium-flex board. I never manage to create than thin line no matter what angles and forward lean I choose. The board just skids. Looking at the board specs the 157 Burton Process board requires rider weight of 61kg to 79kg which makes me only 2kg above the minimum required. What is your take on length when it comes to lower weight? Thanks!
Thanks for good tips! I get to ride my first rides of this winter in about 2 weeks, can't wait and put these into work. Do you have any riding videos lined up? Those are cool to watch while waiting for winter vacation.
No haven't got any coking up but hoping to make more after the busy holiday period, want to make more like this one th-cam.com/video/BqDWZ_z4GQw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3oonD83Z9-urV7ZF
Hey man, nice vids: I've been teaching my mates the basics and really started focusing on improving myself rather than just going down the mountain (which is fun, but I want to get better). Indoors, I've tried a few things (soon I'll be on real slopes), but I noticed I've difficulties getting my edge carve cleaner. The line's thinner than when skidding, but not as thin as yours. Do I need to lean into the turns even more to fix this? Also, I know how to ollie when standing still, but during a run, I can't seem to grasp the rhythm. Any tips for that?
@Malcolm Moore Could you please Analyze some subscriber videos and comment/tell how to do better or point out their mistakes Would be very interesting and helpful to know how to analyze my riding
Hey Malcolm great videos as always, you don't know this, but you are my snowboarding coach LOL. I've been progressing rather nicely, thanks to your videos, but, how do you snowboard moguls? a video on tips/technique(s) would be much appreciated.
Yeah I still need to cover this in a video, first thing you need is good short turns though, and then you need to be able to edge change in a low position, I should hopefully make that video this year but it's been difficult to film in the past!
I'm not sure where the follow occur. I see you body positioned towards the side of the lane while the nose of the board going down. Are you talking about the head or the chest. What part of the body should follow the arrow? And how it goes with turning? Saying that I want to make the switch body position and go across the lane where my body should positioned to?
An instructor told me that on heel side, he likes to put out his rear hand out straight and even up in the air. He said it helps with stability and also helps edge change faster when bringing the hand back. What do you think of this? Clashes a lot with what you teach, hey?
Well that might be fine, it depends how you are using the movement. Ultimately though I would try not to make a habit of having arms extended, you typically use your arms to help you balance and if you are already extended to your max you don't have anywhere else to go from there. Also upper body movements can be used to anticipate an edge change, but they are often used incorrectly to counter rotate the board, so really it just depends how you are using these movements and as I can't see and I'm not fully sure what you mean I can't really say. What I will say is that everything should be goal driven, or outcome driven, don't just do a movement for the sake of it. So if doing what that instructor said gives you better board performance, better grip, faster edge changes, whatever it is you are looking to do, then that movement is probably helping. Obviously in my videos you can see what I'm doing, if you like the look of what I'm doing on my snowboard, then give those movements a go. If you don't want to do the things I'm doing, probably best not to take advice from me!
How do you like the Nidecker Supermatics? I'm thinking to maaaaaybe get a pair but they are pricey! It's mainly because I want the freedom to choose a boot rather than go with Burton step-ons (which also look great too)
tip number 9 find a sloap that looks like the one in this video I never could find such a flat sloap where I have gone so far the sloapes I went to are uneven like hell with plenty of huuge bumps on it :( or iced all the way on an unrelated topic : I dont know why but I am allways imagining myself runing on a snowboard from a Bear. Could you make a video on the best technique to use in my mind to avoid beeing caught up by the Bear while also minimizing the risk of falling which would lead to an imminent death ?
Hey Malcolm, just wanted to ask a quick question. Recently back from my first week of snowboarding in Andorra which was a blast a lot of which can be put down to trying a lot of what I learned from your videos but something I couldn't grasp was the concept of "following the nose of your board". It took me a day or so to get any kind of control with turns which I did always try to finish but I was consistently skidding while traversing a slope after a turn and didn't know how to stop it. Is it possible to be going to slow or was there something else I should've been looking out for?
Usually if there's an inherent skidding within your riding, not coming from a lack of grip, but rather because of a movement you are making, it is usually because of something that's not happening at the edge change. And that is usually that you're not properly crossing your centre of mass over the board, and if you're not doing that you will make another movement to change edge, but that usually results in kicking the back foot out and creating skid. Difficult to know without seeing you riding but these are two of the biggest mistakes I see people making at the edge change: th-cam.com/video/JXn-CzfdOOM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dZqv2d24cB10qATE
Malcolm I have an advice for you, make an unusual tutorial "how to teach your dog to follow you while you are snowboarding or how to teach your dog to pull it a snowboarder with leash on flat terrain") ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Unpopular opinion? It's fine to skid, sometimes. It has its application. I don't think you meant it in this way, but carved turns are very nice, but they're not the only valid way to turn a snowboard.
Your back binding highback seems to be quite loose for your boot, do you like it to be like that or is it mistaken? Its practically flapping about even on milder heel side turns.
Still quite a newbie here. I recently went out on my second snowboard trip and rented some gear. The highbacks on the bindings were pretty much always against my calves the entire time I was riding and would just be engaged when I'd go on to my heel edge. I found this quite uncomfortable and my shins would cramp up. Is it more normal to have highbacks set up more further away like yours in this video? I noticed that your right leg barely even touches its highback even when you're on your heels!
My boots are a bit on the soft side after 100 days plus in them which does make them a bit more flexible than they should be, but really it comes down to preference. I like a softer boot that allows me to flex my ankles more, but some people need the stiffest option going. However if you're not comfortable, that would suggest it's probably worth changing something!
Hi Malcom, i am a intermediate rider. I want to buy a new snowboard boot. I have a Ride Showdowban snowboard. I riding less powder and icy areas. ı ride freeride no freestyle or no backcountry. Should I buy a hard boot or a soft boot to be used in such areas? if i buy stiff boot such as Ride Fuse will I have difficulty ride it?. thanks
@@malcolmmoore funny I just found out about this board last night! you don't think too much board for a beginner? love your content and learning a ton.

Thank you! You made it possible.
Haha that's amazing!! 🤩
It's quite possible to carve on ice, though not on as steep a slope as with good snow. Save your compression for the bottom half of the turn and make more gradual turns. Movements need to be gentler and more progressive. Best learned on a gentle blue or even green run

Amazing thanks so much!!! Love this comment 😊
This is the best snowboarding channel for anyone looking to get better.
Thanks so much 😃
Malcolm is really good. He selflessly tells you the most scientific methods and tirelessly explains and repeats them over and over again
Thank you 😊🙏🏼
Hi Malcolm. I love your tutorials. You explain in easy to understand terms and in practical ways. And you're doing it as you explain it.
My issue is inexperience and age. As one ages any sort of injury can be life changing. (Like, never snowboarding, or surfing ever again) It can overrule your enjoyment of the sport. It's purely a mind game. I started snowboarding around 10yrs ago but only ever get to go snowboarding every 2-3yrs. So it's binging on your videos to try to let it sink in. So with a knee replacement one yr ago and closer to 70 than 60, I feel father time is catching up, but I don't want to completely stop the fun. How do I get over the 'fear' factors?
I’m switching from a flattop to camber and this video is helpful because I’m realizing that changing board profiles on hard pack was extra challenging. I need to be more gentle with myself. Another great video!
it's so much harder than I thought, after 5 days of riding I'm still doing worse on my new board than my crap board I rode since 2007
The guy on the back didn't follow the nose of his board
🤦
Now he follows. He watched the video.
Good timing! Back off to the slopes in a couple of weeks and will look to follow my nose down the hill much more. Great exercises to get my snow legs back and end my season better than I started, thanks!
Have fun!
the most underrated video on this channel. Worked for me 100% when I tried every advice from it. Thanks, man
Great to hear!
Really appreciate your great videos. I've started snowboarding 21yrs ago but had a break for 16ys due to family obligations and just life. Now I'm back again since last year, and started following your advise really improves my riding skills, even I'm an old guy of 55. I'm of course far from perfect, but this year I really learned to carve and turn without skidding. Thanks a lot - you never get too old to learn
True words 🙌🏼🙌🏼 happy you're back on the board and that the videos are helping!! All the best
Today was my 8th day snowboarding and I can say, I can snowboard. I started to make turns. Toe edge was hard to learn. But we got warm winter here in Minnesota and snow was very slow. I hope I can improve my riding on a real, not 'fake cannon' snow. So excited. But I embrace falling, and pretty hard ones. Stand - fall - repeat. Until it works. I impressed how body starting to understand movements. Long journey of improvement ahead of me.
Heading to Meribel in March after a 10 year hiatus. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, learnt so much and perhaps mostly importantly, rekindled my love for snowboarding. Thanks mate.
Yes that's what I like to hear!! Enjoy your trip 😊🏂🏼🙌🏼
Thanks so much man. Delivering advice in this way is so much easier to comprehend.
Thanks so much 😊😊
Thank you so much for creating all these videos Malcolm! I just got on the slope the other day, and just applied your tutorials and I was actually surprise I am able to snowboard. Lots of falling still, but as you said on tip number 8, just jave fun and I'm loving it!
Great job!
Hey Malcolm! I've just spent a week in Chamonix and it's the first time I've been back on a snowboard in 9 years! I've been watching your videos every evening as I definitely had some bad habits from when I started learning all those years ago (I came from a background of skateboarding so assumed I knew it all before I'd even set foot on the piste!). Thanks for the tutorials and tips - I've been consciously trying to improve my technique and feel like even after all this time my riding is better than it used to be! Better yet, I've promised myself to get back out as soon as possible. Keep up the amazing videos!
Awesome, glad to hear you're back on the board, and thanks for the kind words!
Hey Malcolm! I was wondering if you would be able to make a video on how to safely and effectively traverse or carve down steep narrow runs. That’s one thing that I have been a little sketched out about whenever encountered. Thank you for these amazing videos, I can’t believe how much I have progressed from your tutorials in one season!
Thanks Malcolm. Learned snowboard this year with your videos, love it. Take care.
Amazing well done 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you Malcolm. I’m trying to learn snowboarding both late in life and late in this season. I have two hard days of practice under my belt and things are not coming quickly or easily. But before and after each session I’ve been watching as many of your videos as I can and find them very helpful. Thank you. In this video I especially loved learning that my brain is releasing failure chemicals! I’m hoping my third time out really benefits from that megadoses of chemicals I created!
In addition to the technical advice your videos also provide a great model for a relaxed confident enjoyable snowboarding which is ultimately my goal. The Internet is full of snowboarding channels but you are my go to channel. Keep up the great work brother.
Third day is when things clicked for me, self taught as well. It's a long terrific journey with many more breakthroughs to come!
You're very welcome, I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos and that they're encouraging you to get out there and learn a new sport! I'm looking forward to hear how day 3 and 4 go for you! All the best keep at it, you got this 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Pro tip: never, ever, forever leave your board, like Malcom did, flat on the slope, if it manages to move slightly you might never see it ever again but you can also hit someone with it. Instead turn it upside down, securing it with the straps in the snow. Malcom is a pro, and he knows what he is doing, you might not. Hope it helps
Yeah this is right 👍🏼 and I normally don't either, was just for filming purposes, and I'd made it a little ledge
Amazing and practical video. Great delivery of concepts and foundational snowboarding movements. Tapping into your instruction is so easy. A snowboarding instructor in the palm of my hand and in pocket!!!!! LETSGETIT!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely fantastic timing bro! I'm off this Saturday and needed a quick brush up so thanks for the video!
Need to iron out those bad habits.
Plus I need to be more fluid and less stiff. Any tips for stretching exercises to drop the rust before my return after 2 winters? The stiff ligaments in my legs let me down, especially my hamstrings. I want to unlock the next level of boarding :)
Your efforts are much appreciated 👍🏼
I know i am not malcolm but maybe this is useful :) yoga with xavier delerue. Or else the mobility duo. Both on youtube, not sure if it is okay to post links
@@rutgerros I appreciate that thank you. You're the second person to suggest yoga to fix my lack of flexibility. Also, recently discovered that I've been skating incorrectly with my rear leg in front of the board instead of behind. I've got some work to do :)
whatsup, im at the end of our 6 day ski trip in austria, it was my first time ever snowboarding and thanks to your videos i had a blast! It felt really good really fast and your tips helped a lot.
i also recommended your videos to a family member and it helped him ride way more effortlessly in an instant.
next vacation im gonna try to learn tricks and ill be sure to return to your videos, thanks a lot man❤
Awesome, that's great to hear, glad to have helped, and glad to hear you're loving Snowboarding, that's what it's all about!
I rarely write comments but I wanted to share my improvements thanks to your videos. Day one was obviously painful, but from day two onwards I started to have a lot of fun, taking speed, making nice turns and riding red slopes here in the french Alps. I've always been a surfer/skater so it may have helped me progress easily.
So thanks for you work and greetings from Puy Saint Vincent :)
Thanks for sharing, glad to have helped out, it only gets easier and better from here on!
Malcolm you ride on "Sensor Plus" model on this video. It has "Sidekick" feature on noses. Did you use 159W lenght? How would you compare it to "Escape" model in case of carving and edge holding? I know it is not model designed for carving but I would like to know your opinion on this matter.
As an instructor, I've had to move away from labeling skidding turns as bad, as to make the wrong impression on newer riders. In the context of carving it is something you want to avoid for proper form, sure. But like your later points, skidding turns are a very necessary tool in icy terrain or at higher speeds where a carve is not possible/likely to cause a fall. Having experience with the nuance of slide turns helps you greatly in some scenarios. Especially on the east coast :P
Bro your analogies for making content digestible are top tier 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I appreciate that, thanks!
Hi Malcolm, I found your channel when I started riding last season. My friends frequently comment how fast I've progressed and I owe it to you - I always send them your playlists and say this is who I learned from! And although I feel like a very comfortable intermediate rider now, my knowledge about owning a snowboard is pretty weak.
I got a beginner-intermediate board at a ski swap event, and I don't even know what type of board it is. I want to get a more advanced board so steeper runs and moguls are easier to tackle but I don't know where to begin.
Can you do a breakdown of different board types and shapes, terrain/ride styles they're good for, etc? Shoot I've never even adjusted my bindings and backings myself since the board instructor did it for me at the ski swap event 😭😅 the place I dropped it off at yesterday for a hot wax took my bindings off so I figure I better learn lol
Haha, that's great to hear! As for boards, well you're spoilt for choice, but usually picking something in the all mountain category is a good start, and as the name suggests an all mountain board is a do it all board. That said try not to get overwhelmed by all the choices and camber profiles, at the end of the day they're all just a plank of wood with a strip of metal around the edge, and it is your technique and ability that will affect how you ride much more than the board!
So, I had stopped watching your vids, because they were all so much TMI. But finally this is the video that I needed! Really great video and I am glad I didn't skip this one. No mind boggling information that I would never be able to retain!
My advice would be to show more instead of micro-managing where every single limb has to be. Just like the first tip, let me know what should the board be doing, and I will try to figure out why I am not managing to do it by looking at your posture. I would really appreciate it if you could explain the turn through board's perspective too. During the turn, what happens first? Does the board changes edge? Edge change and turn happens together? Or you initiate the turn and then the edge change follows? Imagine my board is close to 90 degree to ground and is on heal edge (going to left basically). What initiates the turn now? Do I try to change edge (and fall), get the nose downhill -> switch edge -> turn? or get nose downhill -> turn and switch edge? :')
Thanks for this vid!
Hi Malcolm! I just subscribed! It is ridiculously cheap compared to the lessons you teach from your experience! I appreciate what you do for us! Thanks!
Awesome, many thanks, I appreciate the support 🙏
Your the best! I’ve learned so much from you, many 🙏🤟
Happy to hear that!
Thanks to your videos I finally have carving down without thinking about it. Knee steering finally fully clicked last week, and this week I've been able to do tighter carved turns on steep blacks. Really appreciate what you do. Do you have any tips or advice on moving to one's first double black? A lot of them are steep, with lots of moguls, and have a scary cornice drop to start the run.
That Nidecker Supermatic is surely handy
For sure!
Hey cheers from Canada, I wonder where is that resort. It is beautiful there.
Thanks for these videos.
One of the best teachers out there. Bar none. 💪
Thanks, much appreciated 🙏
Loving the videos Malcolm! Took a tumble a couple of days ago and bashed up my knee pretty bad. I've got my snow boots on in the hotel room, going through the motions from your videos while I wait for the swelling to go down. Wonder if you've got any tips for falling 'gracefully'?
Another awesome video! Thank you, Malcolm! Can’t wait to get out there this weekend to really follow the nose. :-). I still have a little bit of a hard time maintaining the thin line on my toe side turn, but I’ll give another go with your tips. 💪💪
Good luck!
The advice that every turn doesn’t have to be perfect is dead on. Once you learn to carve it’s easy to fall into that mindset. I start most of my turns with an early edge change but the finish is dictated by the conditions or how crowded the run is. Sometimes I’m carving toe side and skidding heal side because the hill is too crowded. The key in my mind is to have a quiver of techniques and to be able to use them as needed. But if it’s a weekday on a wide open run, I’m carving big turns with a smile on my face.
Exactly this 👆🏼
Thanks Malcom!
These are great tips. Some of them never seen in other videos.
Awesome!
3&4... At some point my brain just went (regular rider) "heels turn left, toes turn right" and it magically made everything simpler.
But the real obvious way to improve my riding.......... is wait 4 months and try not to sulk too much as I'm hit by all the algorithm (and subscription, of course) suggestions based on my hobbies.

Another great video. Your videos make me want to get back on the board as soon as possible. As a follow up to "embrace your failures", what do you recommend about falling? I recently caught edges twice and bruised my ribs because I fell directly onto my fists. How could I fall better to avoid this?
Thank you. Your videos helped a lot. It would be great if you made one about the board profiles. I rode only on flat boards so far and I would like to understand how a camber board might help me and on what kind of snow it would be more useful.
No worries glad you like the videos. Yeah people have a lot of questions about different types of snowboards, I'll put it on the list and see what I can do!
Super nice! Just about the whole video is simply about FLOW! 🙂
Point 3 and 4 are so linked together.... and so underestimated!!
When I teach ZE CAARV I spend a lot of time explaining what happens in between turns. Setting up for the next turn is so key to a good turn...
Nobody will figure this out on their own, because it's seemingly an unnecessary thing to discuss, as the turn itself seems to be the most important thing...
Love you you casually explain all that while riding. It shows that you've done this and thought about it a million times. Nice one, Malcolm!
(But don't do that in that bad, bad posi stance that breaks everybody's spines! There's no fun to be found with a broken back! Hahaha...)🙃🤪
Haha, cheers Lars, I hope you and the secret society of lizard people posi posi carvers can relate to this?! 🤷
@@malcolmmoore Lizard people is right! Because of those curved spines!!
Excellent video Malcolm! Thanks
Many thanks!
Refreshing ! Thanks Malcom
My pleasure!
That single word at 7:33 gave me so much energy!

@@malcolmmoore the Creator read my message and replied. I'm honored! Sincerely, a not-so-good snowboarder who had the privilege to ride in Finland, Austria, and Sicily (on the Etna volcano). Would be glad to accompany you there if you'd like :-)
Did you ride Etna on snow, I've seen you can also ride the ash I believe?!
@@malcolmmoore I'm not sure about riding on the ash. I've done it on snow, both on Nicolosi and on Piano Provenzana sides. If you're lucky, you can ride your board, see a bit of lava on the top, and at the same time look at see at the bottom... but it needs an eruption and perfect weather :-) Unfortunately the season is relatively short, and the tracks small. But it's a great experience
Love the have fun vibes. Trying to radiate that to my 5 yr old skiier as I take her on her first ski lift, and as for my 2 year old yet undecided snow eater, I'm getting the riglet (=
That is awesome!
Liked a lot your video. Have fun is the most important one. 👏👏👏
Agree 💯
Following the nose of my board helped tremendously!
Awesome!
Amazing advice as always! Can’t thank you enough for all the great tips you shared to improve turns and riding style 🙌🏻
Great video once again! Also, I really like the song you added in the background. Do you mind sharing the name of the artist? 🫶🏻
Fantastic vids as always with as always great insight
Thanks, hope you guys are well!
dude i went from day 1 snowboarder thats clueless to carving going low with my center of mass with insane control and looking sick. Now I am moving into jumping boxes and controlling air
Yeahhh awesome 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Brilliant! Great video.
Thank you!
Great video as always! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video Malcolm! Thanks for putting such great content which helps all of us learn.
Would you mind doing a video on riding powder? Or powder through trees? I rode last weekend on a heavy powder day, and it required me to lean more on my back foot, so don't know if that is the correct way to ride on a powder day. Would love to learn the correct technique from you! Cheers!
Haha, I would love to but powder days are very rare where I am, I haven't had a proper powder day since December. Unfortunately here tree skiing isn't much of a thing as it rarely snows down to where the trees are (below about 1800m) and therefore the majority of the resort is above the tree line. That said I do have these older videos on riding pow: th-cam.com/video/h86lL3Mjxn0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LfqesV4JitXMRFZd

@@malcolmmoore Amazing! I will take a look at these videos :) Again, thanks for what you are doing, thoroughly enjoy your content!
Hey Malcolm love your videos man! Question - what angles do you ride your bindings on?
I'm either in +18-9 or +15-12 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@malcolmmoore I’m (intermediate) trying to find a better stance for carving and I’m wondering if you’d recommend a 0/+15 ride?
Honestly it's whatever works for you, a 0 back foot can be tricky if you have larger feet, because of toe and heel drag. But just experiment, it only takes 10 minutes to change your angles if you don't like them!
Malcolm, would you create a video discussing your process to center your boots to the bindings and then bindings to the board? Also, when you would need to consider a wide board? I've seen videos covering this but would be interested in your take.
Hey so I have an older video on whether or not you need a wide snowboard here's the link
th-cam.com/video/iQug24P-q2I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ge1CMLWJJrGNWKG5
@@malcolmmoore Appreciate that Malcolm, I'll take a look! I don't get to snowboard too much but I've been subscribed and watching your videos for some time now. For the most part I've been visualizing what I need to do to make good turns based on your videos. When I get to a run I feel prepared but I still have a hard time manipulating the board under me. I don't feel like I can get the board easily from edge to edge, and heading straight down the slope I feel like the board wants to go left eventhough the setup seems centered. That sparked my question to you because I'm thinking that setup (boot to binding to board), or the fact that I bought a wide snowboard many many years ago, could be a contributing factor.
@@malcolmmoore Great video on wide boards, it's like you read my mind! I guess I'll have to up my skills on the wide board or alternatively try out a regular width board and risk the toe/heel drag.
Great Video. Where are you snowboarding? The conditions where similar last weekend in Marilleva/ Madonna di campiglio
This is in my home resort Alpe d'Huez France 🤗
Hi Malcolm ! Thank you for those amazing video ! Looking forward to apply alla those good advices in the next days.. I've got a question, how do you have such clean audio , despite the wind you must have while riding ? Do you have an additionnal mics hooked up to your insta 360 ?
Awesome content as always! 🔥
Appreciate it!
Trying my luck in a more recent video as I initially posted it in a very old one....
@malcolmmoore I love your videos. You explain things in a very natural and easy to understand way. I was wondering what your opinion is on board length and rider weight - do these play much of a role or it is just technique and a lighter rider can get away with a longer board? I am 180 cm and 63kg riding 157 medium-flex board. I never manage to create than thin line no matter what angles and forward lean I choose. The board just skids. Looking at the board specs the 157 Burton Process board requires rider weight of 61kg to 79kg which makes me only 2kg above the minimum required. What is your take on length when it comes to lower weight? Thanks!
Thanks for good tips!
I get to ride my first rides of this winter in about 2 weeks, can't wait and put these into work.
Do you have any riding videos lined up? Those are cool to watch while waiting for winter vacation.
No haven't got any coking up but hoping to make more after the busy holiday period, want to make more like this one

Good to hear, I really like the playful riding and the scenery is incredibly beautiful!
Hey man, nice vids: I've been teaching my mates the basics and really started focusing on improving myself rather than just going down the mountain (which is fun, but I want to get better). Indoors, I've tried a few things (soon I'll be on real slopes), but I noticed I've difficulties getting my edge carve cleaner. The line's thinner than when skidding, but not as thin as yours. Do I need to lean into the turns even more to fix this? Also, I know how to ollie when standing still, but during a run, I can't seem to grasp the rhythm. Any tips for that?
@Malcolm Moore Could you please Analyze some subscriber videos and comment/tell how to do better or point out their mistakes
Would be very interesting and helpful to know how to analyze my riding
Hey Malcolm great videos as always, you don't know this, but you are my snowboarding coach LOL. I've been progressing rather nicely, thanks to your videos, but, how do you snowboard moguls? a video on tips/technique(s) would be much appreciated.
Thanks, glad to hear the videos are helping 🙌🏼🙌🏼
And yeah lots of people want this video it's on the list!
thanks mate@@malcolmmoore
Failures= new information! 🙏👊
Yes exactly 😊😊😊
The most important part of the video is 7:33. Change my mind.
💯
Malcom, I think everyone who comes here and watches your videos should chip in to make a statue in your honor! You are the best!
Haha thanks 😂😊
Hi Malcolm, one thing I struggle with is riding over and turning where there are mogouls...
Yeah I still need to cover this in a video, first thing you need is good short turns though, and then you need to be able to edge change in a low position, I should hopefully make that video this year but it's been difficult to film in the past!
@@malcolmmoore come to NZ we have heaps of them for you 🤣😅
@natzmapp I know you do, I worked 4 seasons at treble cone!
Thanks Malcolm 💪
Thanks 🙏🏼😊
I'm not sure where the follow occur. I see you body positioned towards the side of the lane while the nose of the board going down. Are you talking about the head or the chest. What part of the body should follow the arrow? And how it goes with turning? Saying that I want to make the switch body position and go across the lane where my body should positioned to?
An instructor told me that on heel side, he likes to put out his rear hand out straight and even up in the air. He said it helps with stability and also helps edge change faster when bringing the hand back. What do you think of this? Clashes a lot with what you teach, hey?
Well that might be fine, it depends how you are using the movement. Ultimately though I would try not to make a habit of having arms extended, you typically use your arms to help you balance and if you are already extended to your max you don't have anywhere else to go from there. Also upper body movements can be used to anticipate an edge change, but they are often used incorrectly to counter rotate the board, so really it just depends how you are using these movements and as I can't see and I'm not fully sure what you mean I can't really say. What I will say is that everything should be goal driven, or outcome driven, don't just do a movement for the sake of it. So if doing what that instructor said gives you better board performance, better grip, faster edge changes, whatever it is you are looking to do, then that movement is probably helping. Obviously in my videos you can see what I'm doing, if you like the look of what I'm doing on my snowboard, then give those movements a go. If you don't want to do the things I'm doing, probably best not to take advice from me!
Depending on the steepness of the runs
How do you like the Nidecker Supermatics? I'm thinking to maaaaaybe get a pair but they are pricey! It's mainly because I want the freedom to choose a boot rather than go with Burton step-ons (which also look great too)
Yeah if you're looking for a step in I think they're the best

You got this!
tip number 9 find a sloap that looks like the one in this video
I never could find such a flat sloap where I have gone so far
the sloapes I went to are uneven like hell with plenty of huuge bumps on it :(
or iced all the way
on an unrelated topic : I dont know why but I am allways imagining myself runing on a snowboard from a Bear. Could you make a video on the best technique to use in my mind to avoid beeing caught up by the Bear while also minimizing the risk of falling which would lead to an imminent death ?
This might be my favourite video request idea yet 😂😂😂
Yay new video!!
Yay!
This is Informational 👍
By the way What board are you using now?
This is the Nidecker sensor plus 🤗
Hey Malcolm, just wanted to ask a quick question. Recently back from my first week of snowboarding in Andorra which was a blast a lot of which can be put down to trying a lot of what I learned from your videos but something I couldn't grasp was the concept of "following the nose of your board". It took me a day or so to get any kind of control with turns which I did always try to finish but I was consistently skidding while traversing a slope after a turn and didn't know how to stop it. Is it possible to be going to slow or was there something else I should've been looking out for?
Usually if there's an inherent skidding within your riding, not coming from a lack of grip, but rather because of a movement you are making, it is usually because of something that's not happening at the edge change. And that is usually that you're not properly crossing your centre of mass over the board, and if you're not doing that you will make another movement to change edge, but that usually results in kicking the back foot out and creating skid. Difficult to know without seeing you riding but these are two of the biggest mistakes I see people making at the edge change:

Malcolm I have an advice for you, make an unusual tutorial "how to teach your dog to follow you while you are snowboarding or how to teach your dog to pull it a snowboarder with leash on flat terrain")
^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Haha, strangely my dog just does it naturally actually! Although he's getting a little old and more tired these days unfortunately
Unpopular opinion? It's fine to skid, sometimes. It has its application. I don't think you meant it in this way, but carved turns are very nice, but they're not the only valid way to turn a snowboard.
Point 8 I think I covered that!
nice flare at 8:20
Your back binding highback seems to be quite loose for your boot, do you like it to be like that or is it mistaken? Its practically flapping about even on milder heel side turns.
I think it's OK for him and he just doesn't mention it, because it's not a problem
Still quite a newbie here. I recently went out on my second snowboard trip and rented some gear. The highbacks on the bindings were pretty much always against my calves the entire time I was riding and would just be engaged when I'd go on to my heel edge. I found this quite uncomfortable and my shins would cramp up. Is it more normal to have highbacks set up more further away like yours in this video? I noticed that your right leg barely even touches its highback even when you're on your heels!
My boots are a bit on the soft side after 100 days plus in them which does make them a bit more flexible than they should be, but really it comes down to preference. I like a softer boot that allows me to flex my ankles more, but some people need the stiffest option going. However if you're not comfortable, that would suggest it's probably worth changing something!

Hi Malcom, i am a intermediate rider. I want to buy a new snowboard boot. I have a Ride Showdowban snowboard. I riding less powder and icy areas. ı ride freeride no freestyle or no backcountry. Should I buy a hard boot or a soft boot to be used in such areas? if i buy stiff boot such as Ride Fuse will I have difficulty ride it?. thanks
I basically just ride nidecker Kitas and I have done for a long time, I don't test out boots I'm afraid!
can i wear stiff boots at icy terrain? @mmoore
Yep
@Malcom Moore any board recommendations for someone 6'3 200lb with a mondo 30 foot? was looking at the warpig, new rider.
I'm a big fan of the Stranda Biru 😊😊
@@malcolmmoore funny I just found out about this board last night! you don't think too much board for a beginner? love your content and learning a ton.
If you're 200lbs it won't feel overly stiff for you, but the warpig is slightly more beginner friendly
I know you're holding a selfie stick but from this point of view it looks like it's floating by itself I can see the rods Shadow but it's invisible😅
