1:07 is the bomb.

bought for my son (10 yo) for Christmas. He has never had a snowboard before. Good quality. I usually have to strap the boots in for him. Otherwise good quality & works well on our sledding hills.

Sick stuff man. You changed my view on non-alpine carving, so this season I've given up directional stance and tried riding switch. Keep up posting awesome vids, you are the one I look up to!

I love watching you ride. You are so smooth.

That was freaking DOPE, love the vids!

Dude - I could watch you carving all day long!

Man! You just LOOK good! There's nothing else to say. You can't look bad.

What a carving machine you are!

Super awesome!

This is AWESOME!!

Might be the speed, but it seems that you can float in the air. Nice as always man. I'll be in Colorado for the first time end of this month, stoked!

Here we go again! Ryan Chopping up the Mountain :D

Mamma Mia ! Sei fantastico ! Un saluto dall' italia !

Sickness bro!

Amazing!

Just amazing ;)

That was epic

I like those revert carves.

Fucking love your shredding !!!

The best .

Looks like a fighter jet coming down the slope.

I can't get enough of this video, you should make it longer, 5 minutes at least

Nice.

So awsome

I was hoping for some non slomo footage. Thanks!

Woow what a carving :-) respect your balance on bord... I riding for 15-years it's so fun :-) My question...which shape of board is the best for carving with soft boots ? I just order ROCKER ZERO...and now I'm not sure If I order the right shape for carving ?

Advanced carving tutorial, PLEASE!!!! :) we want to carve like this! :)

1:07 is sick! Ryan, do you also ride in Aspen?

I use to ride Buttermilk a couple times a year. Def always liked that place. I know I've ridden Aspen, but I don't actually remember it much. Since I have the Vail season pass, its too hard to justify paying $$$ to ride other places, even though I'd love to.

Hey Ryan, awesome video! Any chance we can get a tutorial on revert carves before the season ends? I've been trying them without success, would love to hear some tips & tricks. Thanks!

I'm gonna try my best to get the right footie for it soon. Sorry for the delay. I shot it a bunch one day, but the footage is all shakey and shitty, so just gotta re-do do it.

I hope i can board nearly like this in 10-15 years .Awesome 😵😵😵

what's the waist width on that board? and you're in 9.5 boots, right? Awesome video!

Best carving in the world What board do you use?

Ryan, Thats clearly (in my opinion) your best movie so far. Great job. Yout tutorials have inspired me, having done snowboarding for a year i mannaged already to master Noserolls, 180s and i am working on 360 and reverse noserolls (blind ones, any hints for them please ? ;)). Im gonna watch that vid. few more times! thanks!

@RyanKnapton

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks, and I'm stoked to hear my vids have inspired you! For those blind version ones, really try to do them out of a nice toeside carve. That'll give the edge the proper pressure in needs to drive into the snow. And to start, just rotate the 180 pretty quickly and dont think about trying to hold the board in that nose-roll position. Just work on good technique riding into in and out of it. The balancing on the nose part will come in time after you do tons of em. Happy Shredding!

Thanks will try'em out in few days. BTW. I have noticed that very often when i do a noseroll i tend to land on a toe side edge. While when adding a pop it is just fine, heel to heel edge control seems to be somehow weird. Overrotating ? Thanks in advance for the feedback. Cheers, !

@RyanKnapton

9 жыл бұрын

Dariusz Burnat Heah, you're probably just over-rotating. try to think about it being from one carve to the next (switch heelside carve). That'll keep it nice and safe. It can be done fine enough with going to the toeside, BUT I wouldn't want to do it while going extremely fast like that.

What bord and bindings you use??

WTF?!?!?! You almost go as low as someone doing alpine snowboard and you switch edge doing a 180 jump, you are WAY better than anyone in the small ressort I teach snowboard at. In fact we only see something close to that when a lvl4 come to teach new instructors for their lvl1 and that does make sense since we do not have snowboard instructor over lvl2.

ryan can you film a slasher bomb with slomo ? That would look awesome

0:50 It seems the board is still not wide enough))

Great videos !!! Keep going! Could you advise the binding angles , I ride 15/15 for a year, but this year I have changed to 14/14 and it looks much better. Which preference do you prefer in snowboard angels? Thank you!

@RyanKnapton

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I ride 15,-15, which I highly recommend IF you ride, or want to ride switch stance just as much as you ride regular. If you mostly only want to ride in one direction, than something like 15,0, or, 15,-8 or tons of other options can be good depending on how you want your board to ride. Happy shredding!

How is this trick at 1:05 called? Saw it once in real life. Looks waaaay too crazy, but doable. Is there any tutorial?

1:06 you're welcome

Wow, I knew your accent sounded vaguely 'sota.. but it's a trip to find out you also grew up by Buck Hill! Your channel rules. Been using your tips w/ success. Do you detune your edges significantly?

@RyanKnapton

9 жыл бұрын

I use to slightly detune the nose and tail... from 1 inch in from the widest spot on both nose and tail and around to the other side. Now I don't actually detune at all... I think I get better grip on some of my buttering tricks when I'm still riding the edge just on the nose or tail.

Ryan, we LOVE your ride! I know you have been pointing out the importance of wide board, and it kind of makes sense. There are a lot of good riders that say to me: don't buy a wide board, cause my foot size is 8 (eur 42, 27cm..) Do you still think that I should go wide? I wanna go low and deep in the powder:)

@RyanKnapton

9 жыл бұрын

Dusan Markovic In the powder you shouldn't have too much problems in general cuz the snow is light enough and even if you have toe and heel overhang, it doesn't release pressure from the edge of the board and cause you to fall. But on soft snow that is packed down, or groomers that is when problems can happen if you carve deep enough. At least with size 8 boots, you shouldn't have too much trouble unless you are carving pretty deep. But if you are carving and having the toes and binding heelcup or back of boots hit into the snow and causing issues, then I definitely recommend a wide board. My very first run on a wide board felt quite a bit different since I was on a regular width for about 20 years. It didn't feel bad, but different. After a couple runs, I already liked it better, and now when I try regular width boards I DESPISE them because as soon as I start to lay out a decent carve, I'm hitting my toes and heelcup... and that's with size 8.5 boots. So there's some extra info perhaps. If not having issues yet, go with a regular width, but once you are having too much issues, go with the wide. Happy Shredding!

Ryan Knapton Tnx so much for a detailed info! I think I'm gonna go with wide, I know it's a little bit slower initiation of the turn, but I turn pretty damn fast so I shouldn't have problems with that. I'll go with Nitro Team Gullwing, nice playful, but still sharps good. Ill let you know the results :=)

Wow

power carves power riding camber is the only way to go, to bad its getting harder and harder to find good camber boards,ever tried doing a hard carve to make a big circle just on your edge ryan there cool and fun leaving just a thin line in the snow,cool vids bro, thanks

@Prototheria

Donek, Prior and Coiler all make fully cambered soft boot boards well suited for carving, and can build you a custom board at a very reasonable cost. Interestingly enough, when you get into the top end of the alpine boards (Kessler, SG, JaseyJay), the ones that win gold medals have some decamber in the tip and tail. There's some really interesting geometry that goes into those boards.

oh, and the flex of this is like the custom... But, this was actually custom made for me, so I had the builder stiffen it up quite a bit. But the normal Origin is pretty similar flex.
