Love your vids, man. Taking my 13 year old daughter to snowboard for Spring Break this year. It's only her second time on the slopes, and our first time to snowboard. Your vids are giving us the edge we need to get out there and enjoy ourselves instead of spending the week on our asses in the snow!!
i watched this video early into my first season. Didnt really understand what you meant about any of it. Now into my second season so many of these make so much more sense. There was little things i was picking up on but had no idea how to explain it. Especially with the tip for pressure though the knees. This video is great! Thanks a ton!!!
Man these videos are great. I have been on a board one time which was yesterday and I am going for it again tomorrow. I am a bit sore but I keep watching your videos and I already know my Do"s and Donts. I guess I missed the part about knee control switching from heel to toe and now I completely understand. Maybe on another Beginner video you should go into more detail on why the knee plays a big role in turning. Hey man I found a new hobby and a online instructer that I will probably never meet. Thanks a million bro.
Your videos are gold dude ! would call myself a intermidiate rider but I have tried a lot of your tips, including tricktips, great work. I tweaked my stance last season after riding cowboy 4 years.... Turn initiation and general control gets boosted times 3 when NOT standing like a gangster toad. (even though it looks kinda cool!!) Keep up the good work, looking forward to the nxt ones =)
Great video man, I am just progressing to the intermediate riding style and struggling on the black diamond trails. Can't wait to put these tips to use at Snowshoe! Please post a video of these motions and tips in full speed for a better grasp on the flow.
I love your tutorials. I am having trouble doing my turns on the steeper blue runs. I can do them for a few runs then if i fall I then loose my confidence and feel scared the minute my board is facing down hill. Once i get a turn in I can get in to a rhythm using my feet like paddles , weight through my front foot and my knees to turn.I just have no idea how to get my confidence up because I know I can do it, its just the falling that hurts bad !
Theses are good tips. Especially for beginners. I would add to this (and I consider myslelf an intermediate snowboarder) keep your eight downhill heading into your turns. Transfer weight to your front foot and steer with your back. Sound right? Corrections welcome
In the snowboard school I've been taught to flex my knees on turns and extend on transitions. That applies to hard snow conditions. In the slush/sloppy snow it is the opposite. Have you heard about this technique?
Vitaly Savicks Yeah, I think they're called Down Unweighted turns. You can do them in all snow conditions. The idea is the you extented your legs around a turn to create pressure on your board, then release it by bending your knees in the transition. I guess in slushy snow they would be useful for pushing the snow around. It's a great technique for riding power too. This is the type of turn I ride with most often when freeriding. Have you tried it on hard snow before?
SnowboardProCamp Thanks for the reply! I have first learned it from an instructor. Was interesting to know that technique is radically different for different snow conditions.
Hi Kevin! greetings from Swizerland nice video. I am a beginner and i often have fear to put my board straight in the steep. Have you any tips for me? I'm afraid to get too fast or to caught an edge that often happens to me on straight stretches... thanks
This is an awesome tutorial for initiating those turns. I watched the video closely ( I even slowed it down) and I can't help but notice that it looks like you're lifting your rear foot to quickly change to your heel side. Does that help ? It happens at 0:31
Dear Kevin, what do you think about self teeching? Is it a good way to learn how to snowboard, or will you get stuck later on because you learn things the wrong way? Thanks for the video's, they help a lot!
Thanks for all the good tips! I've mustered up the courage to go on Blue runs at the start of this season. However, there was quite a bit of ice on the upper parts of the run over at Grouse. Do you have any tips on turning on icy areas?
Barry Ho Riding on ice is tough. I always try to avoid it if I can. I think the best tip for ice is Tip number 5 in this video. If you can keep your weight centered as you ride over the ice then you shouldn't slide out. You also don't want to edge very much on ice. If I've got my camera with me on an icy day, i'll make a "how to ride on ice" video. Might see ya on Grouse!
SnowboardProCamp A guide for riding on ice would be really great. I've only been boarding twice and both times were near the end of the season. I had a fair amount of ice to deal with and had a few bad falls trying to slow down on ice as there was just nothing for the board to bite into. Thanks for your excellent videos, they really help a lot!
No one ever talks about how to change from te to heel or vice versa while carving. Being a beginner when I reach a certain speed and change from heel to toe i fall. What am i suppose to be doing with my front/back foot when making the change so I can maintain my speed. Basically what are my front and back foot doing during a turn?
A lot of good stuff is mentioned at this video. But i spotted a common mistake you make during your backside turn. You move your hips to front but lean back your upper body. If you want to put more weight on your nose move your hips forward and keep your upper body straight :D Stop the video at 3:49 to see what i mean. Anyways keep up the good work man!
are your right or left handed? does this help determine the stance of being either regular or goofy? I can't manage to break away from counter turning so I'm wondering if I shouldn't be riding goofy.
stand straight have someone walk up behind you and push you forward the foot that you put forward to catch yourself is what foot forward you should be riding
Pablo223523 Here's a link to the carving video. There's also an into to carving video in the playlist as well. th-cam.com/video/76N7S9NdaT8/w-d-xo.html
Lol my issue is that I like to go down fast, and when I see a turn( left or right ), i panic and just dig my board(heels) into the snow to brake and throw my self on my back to stop. Any advice or tips? Also, I ride with my left foot in front, so sharp right turns going a decent speed are a bit hard for me. I always fall forward, OR slow down almost completely, and turn really slowly... Unlike when i turn to the left , i feel more confident and ride and turn at high speeds( sometimes falling , but not a good deal xD )
yes, always carve and stop gaining speed. gain speeed as you carve and you will naturally understand how to turn while you carve and gain speed at the same time.
hey Kevin, when I snowbord I usually stay on my heel by going in cercles on my heels and when I try to go on my toe I always fall backwards and hit my head. also when I go straight to get some speed it feels like my board is stuck to the snow and I can't lift it without falling. Can you help.
I keep catching edges and the back of my board likes to start to spin to the front as if I were doing a heel side stop and I dont know what I'm doing wrong
To avoid catching edges you need to keep your weight centered over your working edge (uphill edge) and keep your body stacked. (Head over shoulders, over hips, over your knees and board). The reason you're spinning is because when you do your turn, you're not managing pressure along the whole edge. You're only digging in one heel instead of both. Remember when you go sideways, in order to keep that board from rotating, put equal pressure on both of your heels.
EliteAlex000 I'm riding the regular camber Process 159. I'm really liking the board. The camber flex makes it really stable for doing these types of turns, but its still soft enough for riding park. Check it out!
dude ur great. good job and thanks a lot for all these videos
Thank you!
I'm a new boarder and these videos have been helping me a lot thanks man and keep doing what you're doing
Me too! This guy literally taught me to snowboard!
Love your vids, man. Taking my 13 year old daughter to snowboard for Spring Break this year. It's only her second time on the slopes, and our first time to snowboard. Your vids are giving us the edge we need to get out there and enjoy ourselves instead of spending the week on our asses in the snow!!
good luck!!! She will love it!
Nothing like a slo-mo/freeze frame video for seeing things you've never been able to pick up before.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU!!
Out of your many turning, carving videos on this channel, this is for sure the best and most teaching one. Thank you!
Keep it up man you have made me a better boarder!!.
Great tips, I have been riding for a few years but always looking for new things to try / think about. Appreciate the vids! Thumbs up
i watched this video early into my first season. Didnt really understand what you meant about any of it. Now into my second season so many of these make so much more sense. There was little things i was picking up on but had no idea how to explain it. Especially with the tip for pressure though the knees. This video is great! Thanks a ton!!!
You're the man! Your videos helped me a lot on my first day snowboarding!
Man, You are the best.
Seriously no one made such a useful videos so far, so professionally and brilliant camera man
keep it up
thanks
After the third time snowboarding, used the "back hand streering tip" and....boooom...transition between edges is easy! ! Now I'm having fun!
Man these videos are great. I have been on a board one time which was yesterday and I am going for it again tomorrow. I am a bit sore but I keep watching your videos and I already know my Do"s and Donts. I guess I missed the part about knee control switching from heel to toe and now I completely understand.

Thanks a million bro.
Thank you kevin, you do a fantastic job breaking it down
Great video, learnt a lot on how to have a fluid riding , clear complete and even beautiful, THANK YOU MISTER !
Perfect and helpful video. Thx
Your videos are gold dude !
would call myself a intermidiate rider but I have tried a lot of your tips, including tricktips, great work.
I tweaked my stance last season after riding cowboy 4 years....
Turn initiation and general control gets boosted times 3 when NOT standing like a gangster toad.
(even though it looks kinda cool!!)
Keep up the good work, looking forward to the nxt ones =)
Excellent tutorial. Clear and helpful. Thanks!!
Honestly, I learned how to snowboarding using your videos... Thank you so much
thanks a lot! I will train this moves next week at Valle Nevado (Chile).
Your tips were super helpful! Thank you!
Tip four literally saved my life on my last snowboarding trip.
Thank you Kev, i'll probably see you at Whistler !
Awesome tips, great methodology! Cheers!
These videos are really helpful, thank you Kevin!
I just started and these videos helped me a lot thanks :)!
Great video man, I am just progressing to the intermediate riding style and struggling on the black diamond trails. Can't wait to put these tips to use at Snowshoe!

Thanks for the vids man they are the only reason I know how to snow board and with that I have taught 2 other riders how to ride : )
Over the clouds? Looks great^^ (3:26)
Awesome video! It has helped me with both my edges!
Really helpful advice just finished a week in Tignes and was flying down with zero wipeouts (phew)
Theses are good tips. Especially for beginners. I would add to this (and I consider myslelf an intermediate snowboarder) keep your eight downhill heading into your turns. Transfer weight to your front foot and steer with your back. Sound right? Corrections welcome
Great video. You mention that you can turn with your knees easiest with a narrower stance. May I ask what your height is and your stance width?
Nice video Kevin! You should post some videos of you doing free riding
Thanks for your advice ♡♡
Very good video awesome & thumbs up
Dude you make it look so easy...
Great advice. Thanks
3:26 Such a nice View!
twice that! Where is this taken mate? @snowboardprocamp
Kevin I love your video! Your tips are quite useful! Just keep posting!XD
You guys are so friendly up there eh..Thanks
Love what you've done here man :)
My GF has to watch this video!!! hahahahaha Once again nice tips Kevin, thank you very much.

Thanks for the video's, they help a lot!
that's really helpful! thanks
A video about torsional flexing of the board would be nice.
awesome video
Thank you for these videos guys, It's really helpfull :-) Great job

Hi, after a few hours of riding, my leading ankle (right, im goofy) starts to really hurt, especially on toeside turns. Any tips? Thanks
Can you do a how to properly carve video?
Pablo223523 Here's a link to the carving video. There's also an into to carving video in the playlist as well. th-cam.com/video/76N7S9NdaT8/w-d-xo.html
When I do toe turn, my feet get tired very easily. When I do heel turn, my thigh get tired very easily. Am I doing anything wrong? Any advice?
where is this place ?
it looks so beautiful.
I wanna go there.
Grouse mountain
THANKS
Riding on icy conditions
That view at 3:26...
I was thinking the exact same thing
High
hey I was wondering if you still give feeback on videos?
I joined instagram and # my snowboarturns did it work? Ps thanks for the awesome video
Lol my issue is that I like to go down fast, and when I see a turn( left or right ), i panic and just dig my board(heels) into the snow to brake and throw my self on my back to stop.

yes, always carve and stop gaining speed. gain speeed as you carve and you will naturally
understand how to turn while you carve and gain speed at the same time.
Hi Kevin, just added the video on Instagram with my snowboard turns and, I'm waiting for your feedback. Cheers. :)
Can you make a how to ride on icey slopes
(My english is not very good because i am dutch)
Hi, can you help me out? what do you use to edit your videos?
I have been using GoPro studio but currently it keeps crashing on me.
Thanks!
Is what he is doing, the same as carving? What's the difference?
hey Kevin,
when I snowbord I usually stay on my heel by going in cercles on my heels and when I try to go on my toe I always fall backwards and hit my head. also when I go straight to get some speed it feels like my board is stuck to the snow and I can't lift it without falling. Can you help.
Hey dude if your boards sticking then it needs a waxing simple as that :)
+Emilie Fatoric Either what peteruk987 said or there is ice on the bottom of your board scrape it off and your problem should go away.
What bindings angles you have? Reply plz
Do a vid of how to edit
I keep catching edges and the back of my board likes to start to spin to the front as if I were doing a heel side stop and I dont know what I'm doing wrong
To avoid catching edges you need to keep your weight centered over your working edge (uphill edge) and keep your body stacked. (Head over shoulders, over hips, over your knees and board). The reason you're spinning is because when you do your turn, you're not managing pressure along the whole edge. You're only digging in one heel instead of both. Remember when you go sideways, in order to keep that board from rotating, put equal pressure on both of your heels.
+BrianReynolds123 doing a lot better now, thanks dude!
What the counting 123 with the head??
Hi just wondering, how tall are you ?
You are so amazing lo l
Where was this shot?
Super Dude Bruh thanks
Are you goofy or regular because i see you riding both
Wozi2001 I'm goofy, but I spend half my days riding switch.
I keep swaying my hands every single time I turn and it looks really weird any advice?
Monica ZZZ try it with your hands on your hips after a while you get used to it :)
exactly the same board....:)
What do you think of the process? Which profile do you ride?
EliteAlex000 I'm riding the regular camber Process 159. I'm really liking the board. The camber flex makes it really stable for doing these types of turns, but its still soft enough for riding park. Check it out!
all these tips are just confusing for me. I will do what I've always done and that is just feel it out on the mountains.
Dude kinda looked like Oliver Queen
My (for English sorry hi)
Are you goofy rider?
clickbait title
Trump
hahahahahahha
I went 1 time riding goofy and just toe
Turning pretty dang hard even collided to a booth idk how to stop at high speeds🤙🏂
