I love snowboarder youtubers, they both teach how to snowboard and they entertain us after our hard day. I comeback from snowboarding 6 hours ago and this type of videos come like asmr videos

[WarlockAntaran]

Malcolm, I greatly appreciate your videos and time spent creating this content. My riding has progressed significantly because of you!

Aa and one more; a video proposal - how to fall safely to protect your wrists and sit bone and get back to standing positions from falling optimal enough just to start riding immediately after failing :)
Cheers

One addition (that really works for me) is that on skinny tracks your focus can narrow and that can induce nervousness, so open your head up and focus on where you want to go. Malcolm does this in the first demo, carving forward with lots of focus up and onwards!

Just a few hours ago arrived from the trip to the mountains. I am a good skier and tried snowboarding 3 years ago, but after one day I was too exhausted to continue ride it. This time I decided I give it another try and your videos are really helpful. I love how you talk about the feeling you should get while performing a turn, edge change etc. Also your lever analogy boosted my progress immensely. On a day 4 I am confident at sideslip turns at average frequency, after every fall I know exactly what I've done wrong, I am also confident making long carved turns on a flat - slightly steeper terrain, I am comfortable riding flat base and don't fall anymore riding it, I can also perform quick maneuver to change direction when it's important to do fast. Thank you so much for all your videos, as a technical person myself I really love the attention to detail you provide. Wish you all the best, Roma from Ukraine!

Loved this vid. Yes, narrow are also my nemesis. In particular when other skiers & boarders are flying past, its so difficult not to get nervous & stop. Then 99% of time catching an edge 🥴
Its very difficult in these situations not to lean back on hips & then picking up unwanted speed.
Great tips here to change that. Fingers crossed. We'll see in March 😊

I finally was able to carve yesterday and it made it such a breeze going thru my mellow runs which was fairly tight like in your vid and on blues it’s insanely fun!! I really had to work up the confidence to get used to the speed but once I got passed it it was super fun! Watched a lot of your videos to get to this point it’s such an amazing feeling and just wanted to say thank you for all the vids!

Another amazing video.

As someone who can suffer from vertigo, even though I regard myself as a competent rider, these goat tracks really can be my nemesis (yep, I used that word too).

Everything you say holds true for me, but I'd also add that I personally need to keep saying in my head "you have control, turn, turn, turn".

Yes, they can be hard, yes, turning towards the precipice can be hard, but you can do it, and you should!

Just dealt with this very issue yesterday. Someone without this insight collided into me and I ended up with stitches in my shin. Malcom, you’re a legend. Your ability to transfer knowledge is invaluable to noobs like me and experienced riders alike.

I did a speed check in Bansko, was perfectly in control, and got shouted at by a ski instructor, even though I was perfectly in control he didn't like that I was there even though it was him that was in the way on a possibly dangerous inverse camber. Then I realised not all Bulgarian ski instructors are as honest and trustworthy as you would hope when one tried to steal my snowboard on Xmas day, luckily he had to undo my bindings and was slowed down just enough that he had to abandon the board from the top of the return route to town and escape into the crowd.

Thank you so much for this video. I finally was able to feel in control on the flats/cat tracks this season. Before, I was either catching awful edges, slowing myself down to the point I'd lose speed, stop when others are passing, or I had way too much edge angle & tire out too quickly. At the beginning of the season, it took 2 hours to get through a run with tons of flat cat tracks & now I'm making it through proficiently!

I just got back on a board for the first time in 3 years due to having a bad experience with some boots and being demoralized about the purchase. I've used your videos as incentive to get myself back out there and you've really helped me nail down realizing what bad habits I had developed in my self teaching. First run down was very sloppy, but by 6/7/8/9 I had gained a control over my board I never could really figure out in the past

Just the video I was looking for. Right when I was getting the hang of snowboarding last winter I was on a skinny path and so many other riders were whipping past me and I had no room to maneuver and was picking up too much speed, if I stopped somebody behind me would hit me so I veered off the side and almost hit a tree! Getting back on to the slopes this winter and I will use these tips. Gotta master those speed checks without catching an edge or collision!

[MH-ubmx]

Thanks for the great video as always. I rode my first flat narrow section the a few weeks ago and honestly it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. I ended up mostly keeping the board flat and just doing the occasional speed check and then whenever there was a corner, just holding the edge.

[lanesky]

Would love to see some tips on how to start getting some air (and land) without eating snow or cracking my skull!

[janadam]

So fun today Malcom! Had in Sölden my first training lesson and they didn’t know what to teach me as a result of your videos. Just snowboard they said and have fun. Fasters speeds come from its own by driving much! ❤

[ThatGardener]

So good and encouraging. I usually do the second option for years and have finally gotten more comfortable on narrower paths. Still trying your first method more and also your other tips ❤

[ItlogNgaBuak]

Thanks Malcolm! I’ve been watching your videos before we went on our company ski trip just this past weekend bought myself a used snowboard did the bunny hill for a whole day It was a very good. Your videos helped me a lot the next day I was already up in the green runs by myself ofcourse I fell a lot but overall it was a very successful trip! I learned snowboarding because of your videos and tips More Power to you brother!

[jan.kowalski]

There's a third one, for even narrower paths: front of the board straight down the path and with back leg, you lift back of the board and skid quite fast from left to right. Great control, great maneuverability on narrow paths or on paths with "ski obstacles".

[jobkuperus]

It helps me to try to stay and / or pass people on the "cliff" side. Most people tend to favour the "hillside". Less people equals easier riding.
