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!

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

@sax1607 3 года назад

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!

@brettOfficial3 3 года назад

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

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!!!!

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!!

@notsocooldude7720 3 года назад

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.

Man can’t wait to snowboard again. Used your beginners course during my first 4 days. Can’t wait to practice and learn how to carve.

@marnieoflynn 2 года назад

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! 😊

@neilhamilton2091 Год назад

I have exactly this problem. I can go as fast as I want toe edge as it reminds me of surfing toe edge, LOTS of confidence no problems. Heel edge I feel like I cannot see people and that I am not in control. I will try this and see how it goes. Thank you!

@SnowboardAddiction Год назад

You can do it! just takes time to learn how to open the hips:)

@tysonwyant Год назад

Same! I have no problem absorbing the terrain on my toe edge; moguls aren’t a problem; but on my heels edge I’ll have a lot of chatter with bumpy terrain. It’s like I have no shocks on my heel edge. I bend my knees during tor side and heel side turns, but it’s like it doesn’t matter on the heel side carve. Does applying more forward lean to the high backs essentially do the same thing or do you have to lift your toes?

@belm0_ 3 года назад

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.

@snoboyz3 2 года назад

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.

@SpikeTheSpiker 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, I've struggled on heel turns and I think I've been doing the exact same thing. Also you can see him going from sliding to carving his turns with just that advice.

@MathieuImbert Год назад

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!

@SnowboardAddiction Год назад

Awesome!

@bontasbogdan 7 месяцев назад

The way you explain and the calmness is just perfect, it helps me a lot. Please, I have just one problem, I just cannot get it right. I want to buy a jacket exactly like yours Nev, but I don't know what model is it. The one you use in this video, please it it's not too much to ask, can you tell me the model of the jacket? Thank you🤗

@deathcookies3335 3 года назад

@travbrack 3 года назад

Nev and all of the snowboard instructors say to keep your weight centered over your board, but when you watch him and other pros ride, you can see when they're on edge their center of mass is way out past their board's edge, not over the board. Their body would be centered over the board if the base was totally flat, but since it's rotated, their body is too. Is gravity pushing you at the angle of your board when you're riding on edge, or is it pushing you straight to the ground like when you're not moving?

@jlip4308 3 года назад

Get your butt down low and bend your knees and the rest will happen

@1Flyingfist 3 года назад

Can you give a time stamp of what you mean?

@travbrack 3 года назад

@@1Flyingfist 4:30 but pretty much the whole time he's on edge you can see his weight is way out over the edge, not balanced "over the board" like he says

@jlip4308 3 года назад

@@travbrack you are right but it is more centered over the board when you get lower with your knees bent especially on heal side turns. When in doubt get your butt down as low as you can get it and keep your head up.

@bennickell9488 3 года назад

Dynamic balance by pros/advanced riders is a bit more complicated, but he made a large improvement by flexing ankles and knees instead of keeping those legs straight and leaning. #1 or #2 top issue for beginning/intermediate riders for me and I've been teaching snowboarding for 28 years.

@DarkDragonSlayerAQW 3 года назад

i feel totally comfortable turning and riding on my toe edge, and when i go for a heelside turn i just can't do it, my board doesn't turn and i either fall, go back to toe edge or twist my body to get the board to finally turn.. wasted a whole half day in the mountain trying to fix it but just couldn't find out the problem. (it was my first time riding alone after taking lessons)

@snowboard_clips 3 года назад

@Brammers777 7 месяцев назад

Does that mean your boots need to have flex at the ankle? Or that they need to be less tight around the calf? I prefer having zero foot movement in the boot, yet struggle to get a heel edge angle. Any tips?

@SnowboardAddiction 7 месяцев назад

You do want to have some flex in your ankle to properly initiate your edges and apply pressure when carving. This does not mean however your foot should move inside the boots. It will be harder to flex against a stiffer style of snowboard boot and will require more force in a boot that is stiffer. It does also depend on the profile of snowboard you are riding as well as a rocker/flying v style board is harder to carve than a camber board. :)

@inguracka 2 года назад

I am so confused by all the tips out there! One of them being you should never use your toes! Lean back/forth and use knees to start change your side. If you are using toes, you are doing something wrong and you should always rest/lean on your shoes to do the job here. Im sure different terrain and turns dictates what type of posture/technique you should take, but its just too confusing for beginner
