This video is absolutely great! I tried this over the holidays, and even on steep slopes it really helps to control speed and keeping tight turns. Thanks for a lot of great videos, but this is one of the very best.
This is probably the video with the best advice you guys have! :) I was stuck to intermediate, but I went back to basics with your advice, and three days out on the board brought me above my previous level. Thanks guys :)
Definitely should be exhausted at the end if the day! Love that comment towards the end of the video.
It has been 2 years since I firstly watched the video, and I am still checking it every now and then. To me, it’s my “bible” for making smooth and stable turns. Really appreciate it!
After a year, of my first ever Sbnowboarding in 2021, this video was one of the few that helped so much in my control of the Snowboard when it was steep. Can’t believe after a year, I forgot this key tips until o watched back this video. It’s a gold video to keep. I did all the hard works today 2022 all because I forgot this key tips.
After riding for quite a few good years, I believe this dude Duncan together with Nev from Snowboard Addiction are probably the best teachers I’ve encountered in snowboard world
So good! At the end of my second ever week snowboarding and this video changed the game completely. Even when you can’t make perfect carves like this and you skid a bit the technique still reinforces good body position and rail commitment. Good work people!
There is another vid from Neev he talked about what caused skidding instead of nice S turn (carving). it's the rider's putting his weight too forward. I tried his fix and it works for a charm.
As always extremely helpful tips, even advanced riders can pick up a thing or two. Great videos guys, keep them up!
what a great demo to practise carving
This tutorial was a game changer for me. Excellent!!!
Wow! This was so much information here! Thank you.
Excellent demonstration and explanation. Thanks!
this was super helpful to follow. I'm still working on my turns, especially down steeper slopes, so these tips were great.
I always had this problem with a heel edge, even if I’m snowboarding for some years! This is great video I hope I can use it to fix my technique a little. Thanks :)
Great info it really makes sense. I've been snowboarding for 6 year's now never thought about it this way.
Great video!!! Can’t wait to try these tips out
I think the 90° angle pressure is a great idea through the progression. Thanks
Awesome man, love it... perfect explanation.
Brilliant tutorial!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!!!!!
Great advice, this is gold. Ride down low helped me not falling on my back when making tight turns on he heel side.
Your videos guys are always spot on ! I begun riding before 10 days and you've helped me a ton ! Subscribed. Greetings from Greece !
Oooooooh I can use this! thanks !
Thanks a lot for the lessons But!!! It helped me a lot to improve my snowboarding! Greetings from Ukraine!
That was really awesome.
Great advice man. I went out today and applied these techniques and felt my mind and body click. I was really pressing into my turns and having fun. I thought snowboarding would be me standing up and cruising down but I love that it’s an active experience. I’m looking for that extra activity to keep my body working. Thanks!
Really helpful advice guys. I helped me ride over uneven terrain with much more control over the board and made me more confident while turning in general. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for the video🎉
Great video!!!
Legend alert
This video was a great, great, help. It was useful for learning how to stay in control during turns especially on steeper slopes. And by the end of the day my legs did feel tired. All worth it. Thank you!
Godd information, nice video. Helpful for beginners & intermediates.
Great explanation and demonstration of body position and its relation to edge pressure, thanks Duncan-san!
Very useful video! I had difficulty in comprehending what I was doing wrong as I have no problems with my toe turns but my heel turns always end up with my board being perpendicular to the slope and I either stop or make a wrong turn by sliding my back foot! Now I know what I should and should not do! Thanks guys!
You made such a good video I actually shared it with my friends without asking me to do it. Keep it up!
Super helpful explanation 😃😃😃
Good tips 👍🏼
Great video! Thank you for including the wipe out at the end. It's nice to know these guys are mortal and catch and edge once in awhile.
He did not catch the edge. He fell because the snowboard slid from the carving.

Sweet Video
Your advices are sooo accurate. By far one of the best videos to learn how to turn properly.
So good
Fantastic vid man. Thanks. Also where are you? Looks stunning
Thx video
makes freeriding look steezy... what jacket is that man??
Hi Duncan! What’s the purpose of such pressing, difference between standard vertical work (ups and downs)? Thanks
Pressing down your edge is to make sure to create pressure on the carve and letting your side cut do the work, so the side cut should edge out the thin line, but as you press down the board will have a equal force reacting to that so your knees bending and the up and down motion is to help absorb that force. Notice how he only go down as he initiating a new turn (which is where you pressing down on the edge) and as he is finishing the turn (less pressing down and getting ready to switch edge) he is slowly standing up
Great video. Is this just for carving? Or can be used for sliding turns as well?
When you pressing down you will actually cause the board to go into a carve
👌👌👌
Fun
One question: it is easy for me to initate a heel side stop while riding regular but hard while riding goofy, why is this?

Qapla
You actually want to get lower a little bit before you initiate the turn. Basically what Duncan does but getting low just about a second before... that way you can go up and down a little smoother and time it just right w the turn.
There's something I still don't understand - in the beginners course we're talking about decompression during the turn and compression while going for that turn. Here we switch the other way around. Why? When do we use the one and when do we usethe other?
In the Learn to ride series: 'Weighting And Unweighting Your Turns | Learn To Snowboard With Rio - EP11' Nev is talking about weighting and unweighting your board Between edge to edge transitions - in this video Duncan is explaining how to apply even and consistant pressure to your edge during your turns and when stopping. You would use both of these technqiues as it does not require you to do both at the same time. Nev's is explaining the initiation of the turn - going from edge to edge, Duncan is explaining how to keep consistant pressure on your edge during the turn :)
you might as well be exhausted" haha yeah until you eat shit because you did one, more, run....haha na this was really helpful. definitely going to work on this next week
great video! Is this up unweighting or down unweighting?
Hi, this is the down unweighting movement.
@@kalmancsandli6590 - No, that's not correct. He's unweighting the board by coming up between the turns. What he's demonstrating is a classic up-unweighted intermediate sliding/skidded turn.
Maaaaan if you fall now I think that I'll fall too LMAO!
pressure from society .............
I meant not "but". I wanted to say Buddy! Sorry for this mistake!
Burning thighs after this lol

Great video!
