lmao, as a skier turned boarder, I noticed at the beginning of the video how the skier behind you had the t-bar positioned between his legs and wondered how he would get off. I found it unorthodox and low and behold, you catch him wiping out. I love it.

I know this is an old clip, a point with mentioning it’s really important on some T bars that you don’t release it to early because they can get tangled up around the bull wheel. I’ve been shouted at in Whistler and Scotland for doing this

Luckily the areas I snowboard I can get there on a regular chair lift. One day I will get the confidence to do some bowls and a few of those require a T Bar. Great video!

@DjBaapreB Жыл бұрын

I prefer to lean more on my back leg. The reason is that if some unexpected movement occurs (like with an uneven surface) i have the feeling that i am catapulted forward when i lean more on my front leg. Also, at the start of the ‘ride’ there might be some sudden sprint; squatting might help to not getting your spine ripped out. Thanks Malcolm!!!

@46raulfull Жыл бұрын

A couple of things i found out, as a beginner, through trial and error are: -dont try to grab the pole with your hands, just let your front leg carry all the weight. if you try to pull yourself up when you get on the bar, when it yanks you forward youre gonna lose your grip and (if youre clumsy like me) probably fall. Just use your hands to put the bar in position, but not to pull the bar. -If you get a little out of line and start drifting to the side i've found that using your back arm to slightly alter your center of mass can get you back into position easily. If you wanna go forward just extend your back arm toward the bottom of the slope and move it slightly over the toe-edge line. if you wanna go backward, move it over the heel edge line. Great video as always! how do you still have so much snow? :o

Many many years ago (almost 25, makes me feel old.. ) when I started snowboarding we only had a T-bar available. I fell so much in the beginning and the teacher kept saying: just relax and stand on the board. Of course he was right, but it took quite a while for me to really relax. Can do it easy now, even throw in a few small tricks. Now the only problem with them is that I rather sit in a chairlift. Much more comfortable. Btw: buttonlift is exactly the same. If they have a bit of a bend at the end it is a bit more comfortable. If they are fully straight it usually digs in my leg quite a bit. In that case I might hold it under my arm, or just stand on 1 leg on the board. Looks silly, feels better.

Snowboarding since 1998, I ride the T-bars and button lifts with both feet attached and don't see high risk in doing so, even when considering this on the very careful side. To me it's the opposite, I feel much safer, for me and the others, being able to properly drive my board, especially on llifts with lateral declivity.

@Ross_Fun_Boss Жыл бұрын

Hey Malcolm, great content as always! In my country T bar is very rare but we got a lots of I think in English its called “button drag lift” and I never tried them (that was my first season on snowboard).Can you make a video for them, thank you!

@avlehtine Жыл бұрын

Basically the same but less comfortable. Some people put them under the rear hand armpit, but that doesn’t seem easier to me.

@mikej.3429 Жыл бұрын

On a snowboard I just use the T-Bar as I would use it on skis. Even with two snowboarders on one T-bar this works just fine.

@snorines Жыл бұрын

Hi Michael, love your videos, thanks for all the nice teaching. Is it possible to use T-bar lifts in an alternative way with a snowboard? Perhaps hooking it behind the back hip?? Snowboarding has been a better option than skiing with my hyper-mobility. However, with these lax joints, the T-bar lift pulls my upper leg out of the hip-joint. The fatigue and pain in the muscles and tendons becomes too much.

@malcolmmoore Жыл бұрын

Yeah you can put it behind the hip, works well for sure!

Any tips for button lifts? Had a nightmare on them, especially the sudden set off speed! I flew thru the air when it first set off

@briancouper1279 9 ай бұрын

Main tip, only hold the button pole with your front arm. The second you use your rear arm, your in trouble. For high speed buttons that launch you forward, the ones that have all the buttons in the big machine at the bottom. Get yourself in position, pointing all in a straight line, rear foot out. Your rear arm in never going to touch the button pole, only ever your front arm. Pull the pole right in tight to your arm pit/chest. Put all your weight on your back foot, lean back toward the rear of the board too. Without changing position trigger the button release. When you get fired forward, use your front arm as a spring/shock absorber, over the first second extend your front arm, this with help you deal with the sharp acceleration. Once moving even up your weight. If you start to overtake the button, gently dip your rear foot into the snow, this drag will slow you down.

@user-yb6tk1ru6x 6 ай бұрын

I hate these. I've been on one's that literally launch you into the air and a few feet forward at the start. Even skiers struggled with it.

@johnpoo1662 7 ай бұрын

If your inner thigh gets tired, you can put the T-bar behind your upper butt/hip of your other leg .. tricky but works.

Hello, Thank you very much for your movies. I wanted to know your opinion on buying a snowboard or renting. If I'm riding about 2-3 weeks in season. Dose buying a cheap snowboard such as RIDE AGENDA, has any advantage of renting? Thanks.

@malcolmmoore Жыл бұрын

If you get on with the board then yes, however if you buy it and don't like it, then you're kind of stuck with it! Also it depends what your rental options are, in some places rentals are quite good, in other places they suck!

@rideinisrael Жыл бұрын

@malcolmmoore thank for the answer. I admire you, and learned a lot from you. Probably, I will never know if i will like it. It seem that it is an all mountain board, so what can be? What do you think? But I'm thinking that when I will have my own board, I will get use to it and will be able to improve more than if I will rent every time enother board. In addition, I will be able to play with the binding angles, something that I never did until now in rented boards. Is it make sense? 🤔

@malcolmmoore Жыл бұрын

@@rideinisrael yeah makes sense, the only thing that can really mess you up with buying a board is if its too thin for your feet. So if you have larger feet make sure you get a wide board. Otherwise, you'll like you say get a proper feel for it. I haven't ridden that ride board myself but ride are a decent brand sp I'm sure it'll be fine!

If you stay flat…..would you risk catching an edge?

@avlehtine Жыл бұрын

You mean on the bar or when getting off? While on the lift, I find the physics of it work out so that you really have to mess up to have the nose of your board point so far away from the direction of travel that catching an edge becomes a possibility. Plus, there's really no way of riding the lift except flat. I mean, sure you can play around and twist your board to slide sideways but it's stupid and the lifties will not like it.

@mtcsypkens Жыл бұрын

Can happen sometimes, for example when there are quite deep tracks from skiers. If you're standing relaxed however it is easy to correct it. Usually it's not an issue.

I have always had my back foot strapped in when riding a t bar. Much easier in my opinion and that could be something to try if scared to go on one.

Its harder as a skiier in my opinion, I had to share one with my dad and him being a lot bigger than me was very hard to stay in a straight line and at times the gradient was 60 +, it was utterly terrifing.

Nah. I find them a piece of cake on skis. On a board it's a nightmare. Especially when the path under the rope is all uneven, icy or chopped up. Or when suddenly there's a Sharp decline.
