I was just working on my carving the other day and only now realise that I do exactly that same mistake as you point out in the beginning trying to touch the snow and often lose balance on heel side carves. Loving the grab cues that will guide me to stack the weight on the right place next time. Can't wait to try it out! Brilliant as always Malcolm.

[berkes]

Your videos have helped my snowboarding immensely, thank you!

[vincentcadena]

Saw you riding last Saturday when I was on a lift. I've been working on some of the techniques you explain since last winter. Made lots of improvements on driving the board and not skidding. Great vids Malcolm.

Hey Malcolm,
The graphic that you've added in your videos showing where and when to apply pressure to the board is super helpful. That's why I recommend new riders to watch your videos. 👍🏽

[JDenim]

I love how you’re sharing other YouTubers. I love his channel. Between your channel and his my knowledge gap is closing faster than I ever expected.

Just tried this and it is a game changer!!! I was always bringing my front arm across onto the toeside, and leaning for angle. That works but this angulation technique is so much more direct, just ‘bites’ in. Thank you Malcolm

[ruipinto]

I had some Ryan Knapton vibes watching these images! Awesome. The graphic that you've added is also very helpful as usual.

[thanhtungbui]

Nice video! It’s exactly what I need right now. It’s easy to ride for years without realizing the power of these tips. Thank you so much!

[vashusan]

Malcom, your videos are the best. The way you break these concepts down is outstanding.

[Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Nice one, Malcolm!! I love how you explained de-cambering the board as you tilt it higher on edge!! And I love the animation that shows the pressure moving along the edge!! This is good stuff!
Looking more dynamic there in your posi posi carving setup! So cool that you're trying it out.
Thank you for mentioning my video. That's very kind of you!!
I might be in Europe late January! We'll do a clip together, that'll be great! :-)

At 6:55, love that you left that slide in there, haha. Happens to everyone.

I've only managed to "bounce" out of a carve a few times in my life so far, where I actually popped off the ground at the end of a turn, but it's such a fun feeling, I'm gonna keep trying to make it work reliably for me.

Personally, I ride with positive angles because I find it a lot more comfortable; and I think I'm so used to it that even riding in my normal goofy stance, but with a negative angle on the back foot, makes my foot hurt after a few runs. Probably gonna have to correct that, if I want more practice in riding switch 😆

Love the shout out and acknowledgment to Lars! Great to see community thriving! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see your take and evolution into posi-posi! 😜

[Pilot-ATC]

The most clear, useful and detailed video about carving, thank you!❤

[DaveHollanderEE]

That fore/aft sidecut pressure graphic is nice. I'm a fan of VSR to initiate on a tighter radius in the front, and exit with a larger radius towards the tail. Particularly on steeps.

[lauhanwai]

Hi Malcom, those our beautiful carves~ especially given +15 / -12

I also started fiddling with my stance and moved to +21 / -6 and found carving and speed more natural, as I was able to bend and manage my front to aft weight more nimbly. Love your vids

Cheers

[TheDige]

Thank you thank you thank you for not editing out that bit where you sat down. Love the videos, but was feeling very inadequate watching your seemingly endless perfection haha

[darrenpotter]

Good to hear you talk of posi angles, I ride Posi / Posi due to leg injuries and no desire to ride park particularly, and I love the control

[martenih]

I just watched Lars video yesterday and now you post this.
Can't wait to hit the slopes during Christmas!

[BBQKana]

The indy-melon tip was a game changer for me. Tried it today and it made a clear difference for getting the board on the edge. Great video!

[rhn]

Malcolm, you have no idea how much this video helps me.
I recall doing fore-aft movements across the turns because I felt much more in control of my edges while shifting the weight back during the turns, because I mimick a slight popat the end of a curve to unload the board just before the edge change because I try to avoid making the board stay flat as much as possible.
I do that mostly because I'm afraid of how the board might behave when catching more speed so I end up doing something that resembles dolphin turns except I never leave the ground because my fat ass keeps me grounded lmao. Also my board is rather wide and doing so gives me room to shift my weight inside the new curve during the edge change.
Perhaps I should find a stiffer board but I'm not sure if it's wise to ride something different while still learning. I would have loved something like the Dada you had, but I ended up picking a twinpig because, beside being cheaper at the time, I thought it was punishing enough to make me pick good habits from the get go and work on technique and posture. Speaking of which, I probably should have somebody film me but I might be bending forward a lot while trying to touch the snow, and I might have realized that when I lost control of my board it was because my center of mass, while being bent instead of laying low, was much more eccentric than it should have for the speed I was going at.

I'm looking forward to my next trip to try and correct my mistakes, thanks as always for your videos, they are always tremendously helpful.
