Fix These 3 Common Snowboard Problems

My Gear List

In this snowboard video I've got some tips to help you fix the three most common problems with snowboard turns.

Poor guy caught that edge really good!

Even funnier is that he was doing exactly what Kev is advising against

[Mystique]

Really grateful for this channel. At times I see instructors yelling at students for making such mistakes. That actually discourages them a lot and the whole experience becomes negative. Your videos have allowed me to correct my mistakes at my own pace and progressed to another level. We sometimes take videos of each other to make sure we're not making those mistakes you've outlined. Many thanks!!!^^^^ from a country with no snow

The problem with the twist is that when you are in that twisted posture there is no way for your body to compress from that point. So if a bump or unexpected piece of terrain comes up and you're in that position, you're basically like a straight stick. There is no way for your body to go except out of control.

Who saw the guy in the back catch an edge when the vid started😂😂

[pugnatumterram]

Watched the opening 10 times!!! That edge!!!

[chelsealee]

Omg!! I see a lot of snowboarders with poor form like this and I tried to copy them. I felt something was off but now I know why. Super useful as always!

Kevin, your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing these.

It’s going to be my first season Snowboarding this December, and I can’t wait. I’ve made an entire playlist and watch a few of them each night. My wife finds it funny when she sees me practising my stance in front of the TV. Lol.

This channel is so helpful, thank you! I love the way you teach. So simply spoken and to the point

[frikus]

Kudos to camera man, perfect weather conditions, this video have charged vitamin d, only by watching ;)

[RC-hpqq]

You should teach that dude behind you - "how not to catch an edged" 🤣🤣🤣

[titusm]

THAAANK YOU:) it helped me a lot today -- no 2 and 3 :)). i remembered while "leafing"....why my legs hurt so much:))..
And...no.2- facing the slope with your body helped A LOT. It took a while to let go but being a heavy rider the correct turning is very important. otherwise i would only gain more speed that can become very scary.
I combined this video with the carving video for best results:D

I never thought i would say this...but :)) i kinda' learned snowboarding from your videos.

Skier behind Kev at 3:45 … “okay this is where I’m supposed to die”

[robofurious]

Thanks so much for posting this! It's my second full-on season and I need these reminders!

[vsquared]

Can you do a video on steeper train and how not to twist on that?

[paoloequizi]

Ok, these are the common mistakes, but can you advise how to avoid sliding on the butt when exiting a back curve on an edge with a bit of a slope on the descent? Any video to explain? Thank you so much!

Always a fan, man. What is the name of this resort? Cheers!

About that breaking about the waste. I've noticed I tend to do it when I squat a bit lower, which I do in uneven terrain to be able to handle the bumps. However, when I stand more straight I would just fall over backwards. I guess it's the way with my body because I'm quite tall and most of it is coming from my legs. So when squating, my center weight is naturally more overhanging which I need to compensate for. Is this reasonable or is it something to work on?

[ShredAheadSnowboarding]

Is it breaking at the waist or bending over at the hip joint? Generally caused by the rider looking down at the feet i.e. ground! Correct posture.

Thank you

I made the mistake of buying a Zumiez snowboard package as my first gear. I can't find any reviews on the board brand. Did I make a huge mistake? 😬
