To everyone who’s struggling just like me. I am now in Finland snowboarding for the third day, and I have just started my day, but had to enter a random restaurant after couple of runs just to get wifi to write this lol I was practicing carving taking all Malcolms tips but still falling and losing my balance until I saw this video last night before I sleep and today I started doing what he explained in this video and I finally made it! To everyone: it will take time.. just practice, and do not compare yourself to anyone else because everyone has his own ability. To Malcolm: thank you so much for your videos. I have watched a lot but yours are truly the best. Good luck!

Crazy how he can give such an explanation in just 1 take. Looks to be typical for some of the best YouTubers.

Had a lesson from Malcolm today to fix these points . Im 49 and started late . A combination of his lessons and watching his videos has transformed my riding. Thanks so much . See you next year.

At 46 years old, I am back on the slopes and I love it, but I know my technique needs a lot of work. An injury and an ER trip took me off the slopes many years ago and life just wasn't complete without riding. Your videos look to be just what I needed, so I just subscribed. Spring is here in the northeast US, but the slopes are still open for a little while. I am going to practice these things as much as I can and come out strong next season. Thank you for what you are doing here, it is a great service for us all!

Every season, after a snowboarding day, I'm watching your videos to get my technique improved for the next day.
Just focusing on one topic at the time. It does MAGIC. I really really love the way of explanation, always sharp and focused.
THANKS A LOT!!!

Malcolm Moore's channel is the best one out here for snowboarding. Absolutely skilled teacher! Thank you!

[stellatu]

I just started riding this season and have been working on fixing these mistakes, especially for toes to heels. Thanks for the helpful video!

[xanadan]

Holy hell! I've been trying to find out why majority of my turns end up skidding. I knew it was something I'm doing wrong when changing my edge, but couldnt tell/see/feel what.

In the middle of both of your examples I had an moments.

When rewatching the recordings NOW I see the problem. You're THE person to watch Malcolm!

[KB]

This is great. I also had that skidding problem when going from toes to heel edge. Thanks!

Though I wish you would show the correct way a bit more too so the difference can be clearly seen.

[SimonAlexander-rg]

Second time snowboarding and I'm about to fly home tomorrow and this finally explains why my toe to heel change kept skidding. Thanks man you've made me a ten times better snowboarder with your videos

[AlexRanedo]

Malcolm! Kudos to your lessons! About 2 weeks before going I was informed after an MRI, I have a bunch of bulging discs on my spine. So my aim was: not fall and learn to remain in control, speed was a plan B, the plan A: weight shift, carve and be in control. And it came after a few days. Especially that counter rotation toe turn. Took work but you seriously helped. Thanks and hopefully one day will get a lesson with ya if i'm in the same resort. But yeh, this year got my knees bent and lead knee working. Was a sorta light bulb.going off got quick turns for fun ans then got closer to.carving with reducing skids. Getting used to weight shif. Kudos my man!

[viindicated]

5 seasons of always feeling something’s wrong with my turns/carving. This explanation finally puts that feeling into words. God damn.

[eigusteeen]

The problem for me riding while trying to use only the edges is that i start riding to fast and very insecure, that force me to skid. Definetly I need more practice, thank you for all your tips!!!

[shaybowen]

Great explanation and denonstration. Ive been suffering with the slide on the toe to heel for a long time (and not been abe to self rectify or work out why). Your explanation and great camera angle solved the mystery for me instantly. Annoying that I have to wait until next season now to put it into practise. Cheers

[Martinezz]

It took me a lot of time when learning to snowboard on my own that I was making these typical mistakes and 'throwing' the back of the board with each turn as I was almost swiping the slope. 1h with instructor who did a reality check on me changed a lot. I really enjoy watching this movie now and realizing that perfection is a goal but practice is the most important part and results will come. Thanks Malcolm for creating such content.

[Ross_Fun_Boss]

Great one, I sometimes struggle transition from toes to heels because my weight stays( not intentionally) a bit more on the back foot. And then I am not kicking the back foot but going too long accelerating before I can start gripping and that too much speed mess up my next edge change

[stadtpilz]

Awesome tips. One more thing to consider: Weight balance between front and back foot. If you lean on your front foot, your back foot is going to slide! Instead stay centered or lean a little on your back foot.
This plus what Malcom explains about the hip and weight shift over the board and you're carving!

[wdou]

Thank you for your advice. Everything makes sense now. I knew I was doing something wrong, but since I never took any lessons, and often ride alone. It was hard to pinpoint what I was doing wrong. The way you demonstrate and explain the cause of skidding is simple but effective. I started with a hybrid board so it is very easy for me to turn, but I have had a couple of bad edge accidents so I probably ended up pushing the tail subconsciously to prevent that instead of working on my turns. It is going to be hard to fix this bad habit, but at least I know where to start. Thank you!

[saulalarcondelcampo]

Hey Malcolm just wanted to say thanks for these videos. They are helping me a lot. You are the best youtuber at explaining snowboard technique. Thank you! ❤

[Shaunyk]

This has gotta be one of the best tutorial vids I've seen, thanks! I've had a problem the past 2 seasons where my carves are perfect on shallow slopes, yet on steeper slopes my toe carves are good but my heel carves are skiddy and i side slide down the mountain. This has the knock on effect of burning my thighs out after a few hours due to the tension. I've watched hundreds of videos with no luck. Anyway, today was my first time snowboarding after seeing the video and it has pretty much fixed the issue. And my thighs were much less sore. Tomorrow I'll continue to work on it. Nice one! 🙌🔥
