Live Coaching: Improving Your Heelside Turns

For a lot of beginner riders, keeping your weight centred over the top of your board while carving can be a bit of a challenge. Without the right technique this can cause you to slip out onto your bum and in a lot of cases hinder your snowboard progression. Take a lap with Nev and Dan as they give you some tips on improving your heelside turns and building that confidence while carving!

This is the single most useful snowboard video I have ever seen and I watched them all, incredible gamechanger for me just went from a advanced beginner to good intermediate after applying this technique, thank you so much every instructor should watch this cause I had lessons but nobody ever told me this!

[brettOfficial]

I had this same issue, kept skidding/chattering on tight heel edge turns, made this correction over the weekend - what a difference!

[mkvalentine]

You should add a tip jar to your profile. Thanks for the great video.

This MADE my riding so much more secure. One seemingly small thing completely changed my boarding security. I used to hate my heel side, and just rock out down the hill on my toe side as much as possible. THANK YOU!!!!

[lettheroadtakeyou]

Your pointers are right on! Every new ski season I rewatch these videos as a reminder. Thank you all!

[parkerwhitchurch]

I've had this issue for years. I'm gonna try to fix it this weekend

[cudosone]

Woah!!! One of those corrections that once you get, you get insta-better, so cool to see him implementing it right away, and how much better he is on his heel edge than his toe edge now!!

This is a really good tip for newer riders. I used to have that chattering issue a lot and the bending of the knees helped out so much

I can't believe something so simple just blew my mind. Nev is the best instructor (of anything) that I've ever seen. I'm so thankful for this channel.

32 years of boarding & for some reason last 3 days, 3 heel slips & butt check to the ice! Ouch! Totally going to try this. Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I just spent 3 days boarding with virtually no chattering, no slide outs, and finally able to be in control and confident on intermediate runs. I had seen the point made in a few other videos (including by SA) but it didn't sink in until this video.

[snoboyz]

Excellent short and to the point video! Learning how to carve properly (applies to 90% of skiers too) and being able to use your snowboard ( heel back, toe straps, edges, etc.) the way it was designed to be used is so important. His video on toe-side turns equally outstanding. Whistler seems really nice. Future trip out there soon.

I would love to see more live coaching

[bontasbogdan]

Nev, this is awesome. Tried it today and no more biard chatter, no more sliding on my ass when on my heel edge 😅 Thank you a lot for this small but powerful tip!
However, all others, be warned: your thighs will be on 🔥 🔥 🔥

[markvalentini]

You are the best teacher I’ve ever seen. Your explanation is clear and precise, best snowboarding channel.

[BootsBTI]

I just found this channel, excellent work guys! I’ve been riding for 25 years and I’ve found a ton of little nuggets in your content that has improved my riding and helped me shed some of the bad habits I picked up along the way. Thank you!

Props to the camera man for being able to record like that while following them

[TCK]

one tip and instant improvement. Fantastic coaching!

[MathieuImbert]

I had issues when coming out of my heel turn and traversing on my heel side. Always kept skidding which made changing edge so much harder. It took me a few times to get it right, but when I did, I suddenly felt like I was in complete control. Incredible advice!

[rookies]

I didn't even know I was just leaning on the heel side until I watched this video. No wonder I kept chattering on steep heel side turns.
