As a snowboard beginner I found that it’s really difficult to control my board when I’m riding flat base. Last weekend I caught my edge when I was riding flat on a flat ground with low speed and I broke my rib. Good to watch this video during my break and hope it’ll never happen to me again.

@jasonlorance1918 2 года назад

Some of my most miserable snowboarding moments were the cat tracks at Vail. So long and so crowded! I felt like I was getting locked onto 1 edge and riding until my legs felt like they were going numb. I'll have to try out this technique. Thanks Malcolm!

@drigans2065 Год назад

Good tips. As a snowboarder for the last 27 years I actually like chillaxing down the flats and enjoying the scenery. Usually overtake the skiers. Main thing is to go straight and soften your waist. Standing tall is important as you said, so you can do minimal balance shifts to go from one edge to the other. Thanks for showing the Sarenne, I used to love skiing down that but not done it since 1994.

@zairemrenthlei9478 2 года назад

As a beginner who just started the smallest hill at the local park I always did pretty well at the slopes but would completely eat it at the bottom flat area. This video is really helpful

@Lauren-yn9ze 4 месяца назад

Flats are annoying, but more commonly for me because I end up losing speed and stopping rather than catching an edge (though that has happened a few times!) But worse for me is super narrow bits (flat or otherwise), when you have dozens of skiers whizzing past either side of you, and the kids waving their poles around trying to hit you in the face.

@astridwang5572 2 месяца назад

Thanks man, you saved me from breaking my wrists like I did when I was 12. At the end of my first day attempting to snowboard again after 30 years, I thought I was done and realized with horror that I had to take a long, mandatory cat track to get to the base. I stopped to watch your video, and it took me 30 minutes to get down but the moment that it clicked and I could rock from an edge to another was exhilarating. What helped was a small section of slush, I knew that it was the right time to try rolling edges and it worked instantly. Thank you, thank you. I also like that you’re not talking about lifting or pressing toes - I find this kind of advice from other instructors unhelpful, plus this leads to tension and cramps. Thanks to you, I focused on shifting my center of mass and the rest followed

@malcolmmoore 2 месяца назад

That's awesome to hear, and yes the lifting the toes is more of what I would call a quick fix that ends up actually leading to other problems, I actually made another video on that subject after hearing lots of other instructors talking about it! Anyway, glad to have helped, and appreciate the tip, many thanks!

@coachmozer8099 2 года назад

@bartbaars3702 3 месяца назад

While you can still shift from one way to the other, then there is no issue. It's just when you are barely moving forward that things get interesting. Another tip: lean backward as much as you can to make sure to catch every bit of speed you can! Oh, and the sarenne is lovely! Did it again last year while there was barely any snow in the area. The sarenne doesn't end where you stopped.. you can do another flat section after that lift...

@MagicalQliqui 3 месяца назад

Last year when I started my relevant snowboarding journey (so, not counting my years as a kid where I was not well instructed or trying very hard) my friends treated me to a day at a resort that was new to me. At the end of our very first run of the day on the flat I caught my edge (I was very new to using my toe edge at the time) and actually ended up separating my left shoulder in the impact 😅Ten months later I finally got back on the slopes, and marking 11 months from the injury I went back to that resort and did a whole day injury free, including my first couple black runs! Yet I am still terrified of those flat sections. I guess I shouldn't be afraid separating that shoulder again since I didn't have it reattached but the learned fears are the most difficult to overcome. Once I learn some more edge control and correct my iffy posture like you point out in this video I'm sure I'll be able to hit 'em with confidence.

@malcolmmoore Год назад

@1carusjohn32 Год назад

Speed is your friend within reason. It is difficult to make the edge to edge transitions at very low speeds. Practices as shown but on a shallow wide slope. Speed does not have to be fast, but practice from a stopped position, jump or point the board down the fall line on a flat base as described, this will build speed the quickest way. It is not about going fast but getting to a speed that allows a natural movement across the board for edge to edge transitions. If you can make the transitions at this controlled speed on an easy piste you will know you can do it on a narrow flat path. The movement is subtle and the timing on each edge should be very similar and short else you will start to make a turn across the slope. Be confident, stand tall and relax. If you tense or get defensive by kicking the back of the board out you will run into trouble.

I used to hate pistes like that when I was a beginner but I actually enjoy riding them now. I struggle with the icy path of death (ipod) after riding Col Granier or the Foglietta at Sainte Foy. It’s like a flat icy mogal field but no more than 6 feet wide. Maybe it would be easier on a twin tip board but I use a Jones Mind Expander, which is amazing in the powder. The Foglietta is an amazing run with almost 1000m drop in height but I dread the ipod at the end!

Useful video. Have being riding for years but have never really considered a strategy for flat sections, other than traversing on mostly one edge then occasionally rocking to switch to take the strain off the thigh muscles as you are on the opposite edge, however my way relies on a double falline. This looks so much easier and relaxed, and swapping edges means way less strain. Sorry to hear about your bookings falling off a cliff.

My vacation was instantly over, 2 weeks (around €2500) down the drain. The fear is real, I see tons of other people commenting in here with the same thing so im not the only one. I do wonder what we are doing differently to what you are doing in this vid. Maybe your subconscious feels those micro movements better that are necessary, through your experience. Im not risking anything anymore on flats/cattracks, maybe if I had an expert coach with me like you to guide me through.

Simple fix to save you from falls: Grooves are most likely to grab your board and drop you when going slow and you are on a flat base. always be on an edge, especially at slower speeds, rocking back and forth, that means you are always turning and the grooves typically won’t overtake you.

So if the flat slope is cambered/tilted to the left, I go on my toe side edge (regular foot placement). When I do this I somehow still slide off to the left and lose speed and then I’m stuck.

@simeondimitrov5167 2 года назад

Hey mate, lovely video and really helpful, thanks :) I love this riding style and I'm looking for a board that will suit it best, I am a fan of Amplid boards too, what would you recommend Creamer, Morning Glory or Dada, a good edge hold would be important too, I've made bad experience with washy boards. Thank you!

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

Thanks, hmmm I would say the creamer probably has the best edge hold, but the dada and morning glory are not bad either. All are very different boards though. The creamer is more of a conventional directional all mountain twin. The dada is kind of what I would call an all mountain board but it has a very unique shape and therefore different feel to it, it is very wide which does require a little more to make edge changes, but if you have big feet you might benefit from that added width. The morning glory I would say is a board to add to your quiver to take out on those big powder days, it's good on the piste too, but not as playful as the other boards, and doesn't really do switch. Hope this helps!

I Just crouch down on flats and squat, Just chill in that position and being tilted because of my forward lean :)

Malcom. As always great video. I’ve watched every video on your channel. How did you transfer speed data from Watch to video gauge?

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

So I get the FIT file from the watch when I sync it to my phone, and then I use the free Garmin Virb Edit software to turn that into the gauges and overlays 👍

I’m really struggling to hold a small amount of heel-side edge. I always end oversteering and across the fall line. Any tips on how to get this under control? Thanks for the excellent videos, they’ve been so helpful!

@Daz555Daz Год назад

Without seeing what you are doing it is hard to diagnose but my gut is you have too much weight on your front foot in those moments.

@Gramercy_Stiffs Год назад

Does pitching your shoulders forward onto your toe edge come into play when you are charging fast? Or is something you should never do. I find I can carve very aggressively and hold a line when going fast with this method.

Thanks for this, Malcolm. Saving this to re-watch when I hopefully go on the 17th of Jan. Sucks to hear you lost around 90% of your bookings dude! Dropping a tip to help lessen the blow!

This is actually the second video I've watched on this channel. The first was "omg how the hell this guy rides with insane speed almost flat straight downhill and not catching an edge". So I'm right on time.

Yesterday I went on flat areas like that but I gain some speed I'm really scared because I know that if a catch an edge the impact can't hurt alot. The problem is that those area are so tight and there were alot of skiers passing so close to me at high speeds, so there's the possibility to make a real mess if I try to slow down , because I can cut the road of people behind me, so it was a real struggle and I felt some times 🥲

@RWTWM 2 года назад

Can I ask how you deal with speed checks on the flats and narrows? When I feel the board is going faster than I can emergency stop, I put the brakes on, but find it hard to unwind out because of the lack of room to the sides. Hope my question makes sense.

@jimmybushkill5295 2 года назад

Carve more often to keep that speed in control it’s gotta be a carve and not a skid back and forth subtle carves work the best

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

So yeah as Jimmy said ideally try and control it with the rocking edge to edge but if you need to put in a speed check do so so my counter rotating the upper and lower body to quickly push the board into a skid, then use that counter rotation to unwind and bring it back 👍

@jonthevon 2 года назад

As a long time coach and instructor I surprised to see that there is no talk about where your weight should be on your board. With proper technique you don't need to turn your upper body and bring it back to slow yourself down. That is ACTUALLY one of the main reasons why people catch an edge. In general if you got proper riding technique you will not catch an edge ever. Basically you left out the most important and crucial thing about riding flats which makes this whole video extremely sketchy.

@ericlim5920 2 года назад

very helpful Malcolm. Wanna practise those moves. Sometimes, i feel that i pick up a lot of speed on some of these "flat" and narrow sections. How would you scrub speed without putting your board across the fall line?

@jimmybushkill5295 2 года назад

U could try carving more than usual keeping speed in control a lot of subtle carves no skids seem to do the trick kinda like a dancer sounds funny but it works get a rhythm down

@malcolmmoore 2 года назад

Yeah quick carves work but at some point if you're picking up alot of speed a quick speed check might be the best way!

@bavoification 2 года назад

Don't forget to wax your board to overcome these flat sections even faster.

@nj5374 Год назад

How do you control your speed on these flat sections? Does rocking between edges slow you down a bit? I find I'm constantly pulling the board around to slow down as it feels as though I am out of control, I don't want to stack it on these icy paths and I definitely don't want to hit anyone!

@katherinewatson4306 Год назад

Me too 😯 I'm afraid of picking up too much speed & then the whizzing skiers & boarders past me make me want to slow up too 😵‍💫
