Beginner here with just 3 days of snowboard: your channel is real gem. I'm studying every video, will apply all of it during 2 weeks before go to banff. Let'ts see what I will got!

[neillee]

good stuff! clear, concise, and free of ego. been snowboarding for 32 years and still learning everytime i go out on the mtn.

[Wickedsight]

I consider myself a pretty advanced snowboarder, being able to hit pretty much any slope either regular or switch, without issue. However, your videos are still teaching me stuff. Often it's stuff i'm already doing subconsciously, but knowing what you're doing can really help with consistency and setting the bar even higher. Great stuff and thanks for not just focusing on beginners or intermediate!

[Pulp]

Your explanation makes sense to me as a beginner. Any time I experience judder, I usually end up falling backward, suggesting I'm trying to carve at too much of an angle.

[connorrojek]

You just instantly gained a new subscriber.This was one of the best snowboard tip videos I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. I feel the knowledge given in this video is provided in such an attainable manner that I can take it on the mountain and instantly improve my riding now. Excited to look into the rest of your content!

[gnarthing]

This is it, you intermediate-to-advanced riders. How to tame persistent annoying heel judder when riding ungroomed steeper terrain. Great instruction as usual Malcolm. Wonderful body of work you've put together.

[mountain_ginger]

Do be able to re create a problem and describe the theory is a true statement of a great instructor. Great job. Not every great snowboarder can teach their craft.

[destinycovington]

Riding 30 years, never been coached, your videos have helped me progress! Plus you are very likeable! Thanks so much! I even won an event after studying another video of yours and got cash from winning it!! I was just missing a small thing(that was a big thing) that you brought to light! Im now a subscriber and a fan♡ thanks

[IanCreel]

This helps so much. The part that really hit home for me was around 5:30 in where talks about carrying your energy sideways across the hill at the end of your turn instead of pointing your body downhill, helping to dissipate that energy. Awesome stuff Malcolm.

[ckernick]

Your channel is incredible. Thank you so much for everything you do. Hope you have a great season!

[sunnysfamily]

best video I've ever seen for explanation of heel judder! no one explained about Hugh back! thank you!

[dougritchie]

What a eureka moment this video was. I've got the backplate on my binding angled forward thinking it would help give me a better carve and stop the judder, never thought it could be contributing due to overly aggressive turns! Thank you!

[canyoupleaserunfast]

No way. It’s nice to hear that heel judder is something experienced by advanced snowboarders. I’ve been rinding 6 days (2+4) and this is where I’m at. Going back for another 2 days next week. So I will do my best to try and not edge into carve too early. I’ve been watching too many early edge change knee steering videos hahaha my instructor just told me relax your knees but I didn’t understand how if fighting snow and hill. I realized if I drop speed using j turns I can still carve turn on steeper slopes and judder goes away😂 but that’s not a proper way is it now😅

[DavidLee-qodb]

Wow this is an incredible explanation I’ve been boarding 8 years on the east coast hit cold springs at Big Sky yesterday with my bindings set at F-3 and going into turns maxed out on edge. Needless to say it sent me home frustrated, humbled, and disappointed in myself. I couldn’t complete a turn without bouncing out. This will give me something to work on. Thanks.

[sebastianmetz]

My personal solution to this became leaning forward, or more on the front leg. I always had the feeling that when judder appeared is when I (aligns with it happening on steeper slopes and rougher terrain) was not committing enough into the turn.
This also pays into your point with facing the direction of travel rather than the falling line.
Thanks for addressing this! Keep it up!

[DzzH]

Exactly the issue i have been struggling with since I started doing harder slopes. I started feel uncomfortable because I picked up too much speed too fast and often ended up juddering because of this. I will try to take these tips with me when I go to Austria next week. And also test out my Insta x3!
Thank you for this awesome channel! My friends and I always watch your content. Love it!

[CurrentlyFishing]

As I was finishing last season (also my 1st) and I was getting comfortable with speed and carves, I'd almost always get these jutters and I couldn't understand why. Ironically enough, I thought I needed MORE edge 😅 one thing you mentioned that I immediately recognized was facing down the mountain instead of where I'm going. I think for me that'll be a game changer. Thank you for these videos!!!

[James-ipgz]

What made heelside carves click for me was focusing on touching the snow with my hand. Thank you so much! 🙏

[PhilippUnterreiner]

According to Nev Lapwood (Snowboard addiction) many beginners judder out because of riding with their legs too straight while bending at the waist, so they're not able to manage pressure especially on the heelside. For that particular scenario he encourages using more forward lean to force oneself to ride with the knees more bent. Just wanted to throw that tip into the mix. Great video as always!

[roblowe]

Thank you. Adjusting the binding heel angle almost completely cured my heel side issues. Nice video!
