How to Snowboard: Step 8 - C Turns

[repsak3]

this is making things way too complicated all you actually have to do is switch between edges and its called carving

[evilcandyflip]

shoulder turning guy with purple suit rocks dude!

this sequence should stand in snowboard pro vidz



[McScottson]

you guys have the best analogies!

[SEXYANDguesswhat]

best videos ever .thank you so much!

[Benfro89]

I've been trying to do these linked for 3 days (i just started snowboarding) and i cant seem to turn on my toe eadge from my heal any help for a new snowboarder trying to get better?

[tominthetux]

@Benfro89 I have the same problem

[Benfro89]

@tominthetux it awful how long have u been trying ? :P

[crackis4losers]

@Benfro89 I had the same problem my first couple times out. Go to the bunny hill and shift your weight toe side. At the same time tilt your feet toeside, so you're kinda on your tippy toes. over do it at first. Lean so much that you fall. Just keep doing it and you'll get used to it

[Benfro89]

@crackis4losers Thx for the help im gonna try it soon will see if i can get the hang of it :)

[unclesamtookmymoney]

I was out yesterday. I have sore muscles and I guess I looked like a moron. Still new at this but I'll stick with it and hopefully won't be off balance for the rest of my life.

[hubDubs24]

dammnnn she drives stick

[helloiamnat]

You'll be off balance FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

[skateninjapro]

Thumbs up if u already know how to c-turn but your watching this anyway

[themoonman2012]

what if i press the pedal of the car very hard ? i do the same on the board?:)

[Ciniok]

how on earth could anyone learn anything from this crap... totally pointless tutorial

[skimbo72]

@Ciniok You sir are what is commonly known in the business as a dickhead.

Go watch something else, you don't have to sit through it you knuckle dragging neanderthal. You do know how to stop watching videos don't you? Avert your eyes numb nuts - this is clearly to technical for you...

[Jayeeyee]

Not everyone drives a stick shift car! Does this mean I have to buy a manual transmission car in order to snowboard properly? =PPPP

[ThatKoreanGamer]

"Or if you have no friends...."Lol!

[KineticHickyman]

wheelz!

[SzMzOzKzE]

fuck this! ni step 9!

[PrinceSnifflePhooey]

I'm only watching this bs because I'm bored :L

[Thatguysnowboards]

your saying i have no friends?

[99Devster99]

If you have no friends! lol

[paimeip]

I really like the teaching school you give to the listener. All comparisons to day-to-day activities, this is the way instructors should be teaching to ride. Though I ride for couple of sessions now I see the basic mistakes I make and why I couldn't get rid of them. Tomorrow I am taking my next ride, surely will apply your suggestions and try different things:) Many thanks for great vids. Good job Guys. Cheers

[coolo1171537]

ya no efense you will look like the moron cause you dont ahve allm of your jacket and pants and every thing all the same colour

but good info tho

[MadCupcakes439]

2:33 I have no friends :(

[TheGreekJim]

these are very good tutorials! I mean, these are probably stuff I would learn from experience, but it's good to actually have someone to tell me these things. It makes me better at snowboarding a lot quicker. Thank you!

[tyrone5643]

i will be unbalanced the rest of my life??  lol fu

[AgroPDT]

Great instructional

[amsevo8]

I DONT HAVE FRIENDS OR COACHES! :/

[TheBongloard]

well i learned snowboarding by just going out and doing it!!

[Rasmus0909]

@TheBongloard Me too :D!

[Sand1one]

i always fall when trying toe turns ...any tips?

[xxniubixx]

@Sand1one you might be just leaning to one side equally in terms of your toes or heals instead of actually throwing your tail out and carving??

[niraku321]

nice

[modeltrainfanatic98]

LOL 2:38 if you have no friends then...

[vojvoda92]

4:51 nice ass :D

[TrainerCTZ]

I have a friend with a fence....but he won't help me

[giatoonoma]

I Have no friends :(

[TheNickNacker]

" if you have no friends of coachs " FOREVER ALONE!

[RypeMango]

I have no friends OR a fence.

[niraku321]

@RypeMango lol

[Kenzofeis]

Lies. Snowboarding is cool only if you look and sound like Bruce Lee while at it.

[MrLucasMartian]

16 people look like moron while turning

[ammoretuo]

when you explain the distribution of weights with the arrows .. the position of the rider is regular or goofy? sorry for my english !! :)

[ska7er96]

i lol at part were she said if u have o friends its mean and wrong but funny

[666skateinhell666]

fuck you

[soul06]

I watch a youtube video from Sierrasnowboards and learned more in their video that was not even half as long. This "press this foot, press that foot, adjust this knee" stuff, in my opinion is a terrible way to learn. Instead teach people how to control their center of gravity and balance and they will learn SO much faster. I've only been riding 6 days IN MY LIFE and I'm already charging down icy intermediate trails with relative ease.

[cjd29]

@soul06

This isn't a really long way to learn. And breaking it down to the mechanics makes a lot easier to focus. If you don't fall down while walking, you don't really need to work on balance. Plus the common problems they go over here are REALLY common. Just watch the next time you are going up the lifts!

[LuigiKat11]

15 people have no friends are were offended by this video

[PohjolaGaming]

Awesome tutorial. Wish this would've existed when I started snowboarding. That proper alignment of shoulders is a bitch if you don't learn it when you're starting out. Also, keep those hands to yourself, I've been boarding for four years already, and I didn't learn to keep 'em down in the start so now I can't keep 'em down. Don't care what it looks like, but it's hard to quickly do an "unplanned" turn, because I'd need time to throw my hand's over the place.

[trewnewf]

whats up with the pig on his board

[goliathdiver]

@trewnewf The Burton Un-Inc

[SchneiderErikB]

So I shouldn't watch this video if I want to have sore muscles and look like a moron???

[196237004]

that fucking mazda is slower than fucking explorer

[Absolon18]

cant believe ive been looking like a moron for about 4 years, thank you so much!!!

[mikedisher30]

guess i'll be using the fence lol

[liloleg]

you go back and learn the previous STEPS!!!!!!!

[doublebasscrazy17]

"the ape arms" LOLOLOLOL XD!

[hockygoalie3031]

hahaha 5:32-5:40 was me going my 1st time last wk..im a college athlete so i have comittment problems of going fast cuz idk if ill stop which with my accident prone butt id run into the fence or someone or break something

[thingermahjig]

ape arms? using your shoulders actually helps. it forces you to move your hips in the right direction. it's the same concept when buttering into pretzels, turning the shoulders in the correct direction will force the board and your hips around much faster. one way to control the arms and force your hips in the right direction, keep ur arms at your side like terminator and try to point in the direction u want to go. the only way to turn ur body to aim would be to twist ur hips in the right way :O

[fartso3329]

thanks guys this literely helped me than my instructor 

[alinazmi]

head looking downhill? 1:28



[timurbekstudio]

ok

[0805LukasD7]

omfg, how about guify?

[3picminetime]

they made these up... they're idiots and know nothing.

[kyledavy]

It really isn't all just feet. The reason you swing your body is to move your shoulders and hips which is important to shift your balance toward the turn. Obviously you don't exaggerate the shoulder swing like this video. This is terrible to teach someone new to the sport since they will fight against moving their hips.

[morekirby]

HAHAHAHA I'm a board instructor and this is ALL wrong. Proper alignment is having your arms at your tip and tail. Turning is twisting your upper body (Like a spring). I seriously hope no one uses this video to learn snowboarding. I may be trollin' hard right now but atleast I'm telling people what they should be doing. NEVER learn turning by starting downhill.

[98AHC]

2:33 forever alone.jpeg

[goalieboy1000]

I did this yesteday on accident and fell hard

[generalpatton272]

lol, this cracks me up. funny as hell, and actually helpful. good job (i hope i dont look like a weirdo)

[bigstrokin33]

[420ismychristmass]

[cookie12386]

@129muk ajajaj woaahh this is old, i feel so special having a top comment :D

[NikiSmiles99]

GO GOOFIES! <3

[DAngeloDino]

This is an excellent presentation. Stable camera, clear instruction and a little humor. If you don't have anything better to add, then keep the negative comments to yourself...as that is probably the only person that will listen.

[xRebelz4]

if you have no friends ....use a fense

[sallad1127]

fuckin jerks

[alibowe88]

these videos are very very helpful i no im gonna be a awseome snowboarder after doing these great tips

[neightron]

I look away to grab another beer and, "HEY! This is important!" o.O Scary.

[JessaLori]

NOT sure why people are saying dumb ass things like, how its embaressing what you wair. and they make things complicated... are you simple minded??

i think you 2 or 3 did a great job with teaching!

[richkidsmartkid]

any recommended setting for the angle of the bindings? Is duck or forward stand better? I feel some resistance from my back foot when I rotate from my toe edge to heel edge, that it's making my turn not smooth. And this makes me trip over like I hit a rock or something. Do you think it's more of my technique or my binding set up? Thanks 

[TDurden1988]

Sorry, where can i buy a pair of sandals like those?

[ilikehudedick]

way to over complicate things

[fuckkungenshoror]

omg this is so queer why am i watching this...

[BoardsToSnow]

[wastedazhell]

turning your shoulders may make you look like a dumass when riding but doing reverts by using your arms and shoulders helps if you are trying to learn the rotation for a 180s

[MazdaFerrous]

Mazda3 is very agile car

[snowpinky2]

OMG! her running is hilarious!
