In this beginner snowboarding tutorial I’ve got five tips to help you survive flat and narrow runs. These are the most difficult run to do as a beginner snowboarder and are where I see the most injuries occur. These five tips will help you turn your snowboard better on these runs and also keep you from crashing. For more beginner snowboard tutorials check out the beginner snowboarding playlist. If you have any question for snowboarding on flat and narrow runs you can leave them in the comments. Thanks for watching!

I don't understand.. why would flatter parts be more dangerous? Isn't that how I need to start as a beginner and avoid super steep places?
"If you leave you're board flat it gets slidy your board can turn and you will wipeout" You mean your board catch the toe edge and you scorpion the F out. Story of my life
Opening day at my mountain today, freaking ate it on a cat track. By the most painful falls so sick of it. I’ll try these tips
i struggle so much on flats rip
I had an instructor tell me that keeping your weight forward helps the board track correctly while straight
for me it was all about edge control. being confident moving from edge to edge, or flat to edge, was a big milestone. having people zoom past you at high speed is unnerving as a beginner as well 😅
When I first started snowboarding my dumbass didn’t stay on an edge on a flat and it was narrow and over the edge it was a sheer drop and I crashed and my board went over the edge and was hanging over nothing mess but luckily I don’t fall over but that gave me chills for the rest of the day
That last tip was so on point.
A board with some rocker helps, also.
Edit* go hell for leather on the steep, carry speed onto flat!
I was riding for the first time today. I was riding like in the video at first. And felt it was wrong because I was not going straight. When I tried to ride straight I eventually catched the edge and fell on my face… I was riding red slope after 30 minutes with few mistakes. Guess I'm a natural for snowboard. Love it so far!!
Finally snowboarded for my first time yesterday. Wish I watched this vid before lol but I definitely learned the difference between flat and steeper runs first hand. Honestly found it much easier to maintain control on the steeper trails
My 1 tip. Learn to carve, then these hold no fear. In fact, they become a chance to practice quick little edge to edge carves, and become fun. 👍
Do experienced riders ever catch an edge?
Thanks man. Spent my first day getting wiped out catching edges on the flat stuff. This has really helped. 👍
damn, that last tip is useful basically for everyone on a busy slope, having to stop suddenly because someone suddenly decided not to make a turn and ride to the other side of the slope without watching out is really annoying… happened to me too many times
I have a question, when riding on an edge, do you switch heel to toe? When doeing the little turns?
Kevin, I'm not gay 🤣 but I love you. Your advice is the best !. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🤘🏂
Great Video, and useful tips.
Although this really does not look like a flat run you can encounter when transition between different runs (difficulties).
Any tips for those flat runs that go around the mountain where you either end up on one edge or the other? As a beginner who doesn't board that often, I usually get massive calf burn due to finding it difficult to get the turns in because the run is so narrow.
Good tips but they're compensating for misaligned side to side binding. It's like driving a car with alignment off. While going straight on flat area, if your front turns to one side, it means your feet is too much off centered on that side; fish tailing means the back binding; worst is spinning: both front and back feet are exactly wrong in the opposite sides.
How do i turn a sharp turn?
This video just saved my life! kept catching edges on those cat tracks and wondering wtf? I just started and had no problems going down runs but just couldn't figure out how to control the board when going straight. The answer…..DONT GO STRAIGHT! always be on an edge. 2nd day and didnt fall once 😉 Thanks Kev!
When it’s narrow and all ice, well you’re not going to have a good time.
the hardest part is regaining speed after step 4. that helplessness when you have to drag your board, jump, and setting up from the side curve only to get buried in thick amount of snow lol
Aggressively pumping any bumps or rolls is really significant when it is flat enough to stop you. I've spent a lot of time practicing pumping, and I often can easily get faster than skiers on the flats.
Question about #2: What about intentionally flat-basing? Although it can definitely be more squirrely, isnt it also the best for picking up more speed? I'll typically try to keep flat and just let the fall line pull me in whatever direction and only use edges to maintain control and stay predictable for others to go around me, just like you were saying. Essentially using an edge, even if it is really smooth, clean, and efficient carves cuts speed, right? And more surface area on the snow means spread out and less intense friction, yes? This is how I have thought about it for a long time. Is this an incorrect way to think?
Советы тупее не придумаешь. Вот вам ещё совет: если справа от вас обрыв, а слева нет – езжайте влево !
That's not flat! Come to France, you'll see some flat
Heck I should make videos to teach people to walk up and down stairs
Having gone from beginner to intermediate in the past 5 years, I would highlight the importance of predictable turns. I hate-hate-hate coming up behind beginners in these areas who are going to slow and are wildly veering left and right in a way that I cannot safely pass. It's a situation where you commonly need to hold your speed to make it through (on a snowboard), and they're forcing you to lose it or take sort of a risk passing you. Courtesy should dictate that you at least don't take full width coverage of the area as you turn. Take the easy/better half, but keep something clear for those that need to pass you.
Key beginner tip here: ALWAYS BE ON AN EDGE! You don't have to dig in, but have one and consciously switch if necessary. When you're on a flat and slow run, it's so so easy to think you need to flatten out your board to keep your speed (and it can help), but it is almost never safe to do so. My worst snowboarding injury (rotator cuff bruise or tear) came from being flat on my board because the run was flat and I didn't want to lose speed. I caught an edge and fell on my shoulder. Catching an edge is always an uncontrolled and unpredictable fall and if it happens on ice or hard packed, it can hurt and do damage. I upped my snowboarding game by chanting this in my head for about a day and a half "I'm on an edge, so I'm not gonna fall." I've had far more falls/tumbles as an intermediate at much higher speeds, but those have been done no damage because I could feel or expect the mistake and controlled my tumble/ground impact.
hide your teeth
The steering of the board from side-to-side seems to come from the back as opposed to the front foot–a point not made in the tutorial, but seemingly important, especially to avoid catching the leading edge.
Dude you learn me to ride with your vids for 3 days and now i can focus on improving all of yall out there sub ASAP to this dude 🙂
Thanks
Having a really stiff Solomon ERA for a couple of years, gripping the wrong edge was big risk.
Whenever I could not edge (due to low speed) I would lean towards the front foot, letting the rest of the board "follow". Never failed me.
Im way to scared to switch between toe edge and heel edge like that because my board went flat one time and I caught an edge really bad 🙁
Music is so monotinous and annoying
I’ve found that for beginners it’s best to stay on the heal edge as long as possible- so it’s easier to stop or slow down if necessary- and just go to the toe edge for periods of time for balance and to give your quads some relief. Then, as you get better, you can do more even turns. But yea, the biggest tip is to stay on an edge, that’s your only control
Love your videos they really help! Quick question, how to recommend progression from big wide turns to short narrow turns like you did? Appreciate any tips!!
thanks!!
I have a hard time picking speed back up after emergency stopping on a flatter run. Any tips?
