On the opposite side of the spectrum of what I "thought experiment" and chat about in this video... Let's take Kristin's riding. Before I ever rode with her, she was on a somewhat stiff, camber snowboard a shop recommend. And without her having the knowledge of what she was even attempting to achieve on a snowboard (other than just to go snowboarding), she really was awful. (Sorry hun!!!). She even broke her arm due to catching an edge. (before we ever rode!) When we started riding she was extremely timid on the board due to that, combined with the physics of the board, and her not knowing what to do with it. When she got a rocker board, it seemed to help her being able to skid around the mountain and at least be able to maneuver around easier. Once she got a bit better, she was realizing she couldn't really carve on it... so she got a camber board by the same company (burton). Once she started carving ok on that, she starting dragging her toes during trying it, and now is on a 'soft' version of the Donek Knapton Twin (and definitely making the best turns she's made yet) (It'll be a cool progression video someday! :)) So either approach can work... it's just about making whatever approach and process you take, work for you. Happy shreddin' all!
My gf was exactly like that. She started on old Burton with flow bindings, could not do anything, it was a heavy rigid board. Then one day we rented a rocker, she was finally able to control it and do skidded turns with some confidence. Now she's back on camber, but still too afraid to carve ;)
How is the Burton custom X for carving ? its very light, the side radius is not perfect but better than other standard boards, but just asking if I will be totally wasting my time on it in order to be able to start trying some carving ? I do plan to eventually get a Donek Knapton
@@pintail120 I rode the Burton customs and custom x's for years. Definitely not a waste of time. And once you're carving nicely on that, if you find certain limitations on it, just be asking yourself what kind of specs would eliminate those limitations, and then you'll start having some ideas as to what width might work better (once you start dragging both heels and toes), along with what sidecut radius will work (if your wanting larger 'circles' to glide on during the carving). Happy shredding!
@@paddor Yup. And then on top of that... In general, if you wanted a bit wider, you also had to move up in length massively. The past handful of years some of that has at least started to change.
@@RyanKnapton thank you matey very helpful
The dude from Zaïre shows that you don't have to be born in the mountains, to love snowboarding. Like surfing, it's a natural feeling that is sooo addictive. Love your videos Ryan, keep them coming.
Yooo
This is what learning proper technique from the beginning looks like. Not having to un-learn loads of bad habits. Credit to you Ryan for helping someone learn this fast.
Gave me total ‘cool runnings’ vibes. Awesome dude!
Yewww
My favorite line in the video... "You wake up, that's a chance". :) Faissal. (silent 'L' pronunciation). I wish I'd have been recording for our deeper conversations. Inspirational AF. I hope our paths cross again Man.
Ryan- why did we see so much chatter from Faissal's turns?
@@judahfish2508 toe drag and heel cup making contact!
Took me a year or so to get to his level. Beginner board with no lessons, and I think I got here fast lol. Really shows the value of a good teacher combined with a good student
A balance board also helps a lot. I probably think it's way better when you film yourself and watch it after your session before going to bed. Focusing on what to improve and going mentally into the same situation again. Sleep enough and getting a routine into snowday. Still kid got some talent.
@@user-vw4hv4dj4e definitely. probably a very observant person who has huge success elsewhere as well
Big part of learning to snowboard is finding the right slope.
The one on this video is perfect for carving, wide, safe and not very steep. I struggled to learn here in Polad, where slopes are usually short, icy and crowded. One upside is that when I'm in the Alps and it's icy, people panic, and I'm home ;)
Hey Ryan, I missed my opportunity to say hello when I saw you riding at Breckenridge a few years ago. I saw you carving out of the corner of my eye. I didn't have see your face or anything to know it was you. You have an indelible style. Thanks for inspiring us all! Headed Mammoth this week to carve those circles.
I used to teach snowboard on a Dryski slope but also see it in the domes here in the UK. They hand Skis out and take time to set them up properly for the rider. Snowboards however they throw on a random size of bindings and hand the board over. With no real consideration to setup. When I was teaching I would spend the time to sort out the board to the person (centred foot, forward lean and angles) and my trainees had a much better time on the hill and progressed quicker. I often see boards with major overhang because they have been given the wrong size bindings, and send them back in to get a smaller size as it will make a HUGE difference. Board setup is so underrated.
Boards themselves, I learned on a full camber. Rockers or part rockers are a great learning tool but do breed bad habits. Camber foces you to ride right or you eat shit! :D Have a good one.
💯%. Agree .
What an amazing father and son combo! 7 days!!!!! I got chills watching this video too Ryan. Thanks for the great vibes. Keep shredding all... 👍
7 days is impossible !
@@corskromhout1965I agree.
7 days. wow. that sure shows the value of learning the physics on a longboard skateboard or skate surf as he said. What a dude. Great video Ryan. Another really inspiring one.
Outstanding progress for 7 days. I have never seen anything like it.
Just bought one of your knapton twins.
155cm length
30cm width
12.5 meter sidecut.
Softer flex
So far I love it. Finally I can lay my board over and not get boot out. Boot out has been holding me back a lot.
A few things I noticed.
#1 that it took a hot minute to get used to a wider board. Not a big deal but it was harder then I expected. About a day.
#2 I should have gone even wider then 30cm. I have size ten boots and I can get a little boot out on my toes but I mean it’s almost nothing. I still lay over carves to the max. Only in that really soft slushy snow will I even notice it just a tiny bit.
#3 the 12.5 meter sidecut is still pretty sharp when you do a layover carve and December the board. 12.5 meter side cut does make large turns though. You’ll fly off a cat trail if your doing mini carves and let it get too big.
#4 I wish I got the stiffer board. I got the soft flex and it’s about as stiff as a generic “off the wall board” that is 7-10 stiffness. I was hoping for something even stiffer. But that’s what donek suggested I get for stiffness was the soft flex. They said it was still pretty stiff and it is but my previous board is a 7-10 on stiffness so I’m used to that and wanted something stiffer. I’ll deffinetly get a second knapton twin down the road and get these measurements
155 cm
31.5-32cm waist
14-16 meter sidecut
Ryan knapton stiff.
Thanks for the great content and board
Other then that the board is absolutely sick. The top sheet it really nice. It’s like a carbon fibre type of feel to it.
That was absolutely insane!!! 😲😲😲
I'm sitting here with a broken collarbone trying to be patient with
the healing process and this video pops up..... freaking awesome!!!
That Father and son are killing it! Always love to watch your videos
Ryan because of the inspiration from you and the people that you have
in them. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to make
and post them up.
Keep yourself safe and Qapla!!!!! 😎👊❤🏂
Randy
Wow that good in 7 days. Impressive. Love the stats of the board and the tips suggested to fix little things. Always learning and always having fun carving!
7 days...!? I had the misfortune to take my first week of lessons with, uh... "the big French ski school", ahem. After a week I couldn't even link turns. It's criminal what passes for tuition in some places, it makes me so happy when a new boarder taps into good info and makes progress! 😊
😂
Got a knapton twin at the start of last year and after 15 years of snowboarding I am now taking my carving to a whole new level. Just yesterday I was asked if I do anything professionally or just ride casually. I never would have gotten here without the wider, stiffer board from Donek and also without seeing what is possible by watching Ryan's TH-cam and Instagram videos. Thank you, keep the posts coming!
Specs:
Model: Kanpton Twin
Height: 152cm
Sidecut: 7.9m
Waist: 27cm
I'm 56 yrs old and wish I tried this when I was younger. I had a lib tech hot knife camber board and would always boot out on carving. I wish I went with a Donek. After 7 seven years and a bunch of falls and let downs i had to stop riding. I love watching you carve, It's amazing!
Great video. After watching this I realized what my problem is keeping me from doing deep carves. I been using boot size 12 when I should be using 9’s.😀 Jk Donek website says my board waist should be 12 inch. Mine is only 10.2 inches. Also when I said hi to Ryan once at Breck I was also crazy excited like the dude from Congo. Ryan is the greatest!
Your love for snowboarding is contagious! I’ve been binge watching your videos religiously prior to a mountain trip. Love from France 🇫🇷
Love your videos man. I have been carving on F2 race boards in Europe all my life, and recently switched to a Capita Warpspeed (to save my old knees from the twisted stance on a race board 😂). The capita is a board dedicated to bigger guys with big feet and I was surprised at how good it carves. Of course it's not the same level of stability as my F2's, but still cool and much more comfortable. I have been wanting to try your board for a while, while I'm still not too old 😅. I'll have to negotiate with my wife I think, and I'm now in heavy contemplation about how to explain why I really, really need that 4th snowboard 😅😂
@@paddor Here's an overview: th-cam.com/video/YEZbjCBB6UM/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful moves. Extremely impressive 👍👍👍
So glad I watched shit tonnes of your videos a year before I even tried snowboarding. I basically carved and avoided sliding from day 1 thanks to you.
There is so much information now on forums and TH-cam for snowboarders, wish I had that in the 90's when I started! Your style, technique and personnality is contagious and is giving goals to snowboarders, old and new, to improve. I've been riding alpine for 20 years, EC for 6, watching you ride keeps me on my toes... I mean my heels... On the edge... (tripple pun intended). I have a wide, stiff softboot carving board on order and can't wait for winter to come to go shredding Knapton style! 🤙
He Ryan, Sunday i am off to the France alps of Val Thorens. Have seen all your videos last two year with out the possibility of going out there has making me hungry. Thanx for all the good vibes. The world needs more guys like you.
Just shows how important good instruction is. I am the same had 7 days now, 2-3 hours a day. And am proud to have made my first carving turns. I watched your videos and Malcom Moore’s about knee steering. Be patient in your turn and avoid throwing your back foot around (there is a place for counterrotation, but not when you start to learn) once you get the hang of it your improvement will be fast and I am so looking forward just to get better. It will be a hard decision for me everyday to decide if I take the snowboard or improve my carving backwards on my telemark skis… I am happy to have started both and not just stick solely on skis. Also you learn to judge others better on the slope and can improve your own safety. Have a nice day and thanks again for all your videos and insights. Cheers from Austria
I've been snowboarding for 30 years now. I've had a size 12 foot for probably 25 of those years. I've always struggled to find boards wide enough. I've had toe drag release my edge in some pretty exposed situations and send me belly sliding towards cliffs and gullies. It just baffles me that board companies haven't caught on to the need for wider boards. When I was younger the wide boards on the market were just big slabs. You could carve them but they were directional and not very lively. This year I bought a never summer proto synthesis which they offered in an extra wide and I am pleased with it. I guess the wide boards are selling like hot cakes. I've been waiting for this board for a long time. A super wide twin tip all mountain board with freestyle characteristics. There has always been an assumption that a wider board will make edge transition more difficult or slower...well...that seems like a small price to pay for the ability to actually use your edges. Keep fighting the good fight.
Gonna be honest with you, I've been riding for 5 days (three last year and now 2 this year). My second day last year I got absolutely destroyed trying to just go straight down a bigger hill, no thoughts of carving, couldnt use my toe edge, just go straight, heel stop, repeat. I spent the whole summer watching videos on how to ride the right way and ended up watching mostly yours. By a couple hours into my second day this year, I was doing full carves across the mellower runs, I had people asking me why I was bothering with the greens and blues, and I've barely fallen at all, and it's entirely from watching your stuff. So seriously thank you for putting all this out on youtube because it probably saved me a few seasons worth of effort to figure out the best way to ride and condensed it to a couple days.
I love the videos where you critique other riders. Those are the things that help my own riding. I also liked seeing the difference in chatter between the Donek and the other boards.
I love the pistes over there. Perfect for snowboarding. Wide, not to steep so you can Lau nice carven and do tricks. And no one there.
Where I ride in Europe it's always crowded.
I'm amazed how these ski slopes look like higways. I never rode such wide one.
Scoop(famous in Teton Valley) had skied with me for years, completely uninterested in snowboarding. One day he said "I want to try riding like you"(eurocarve). Gave him the speel on the lift, planned on doing drills but he said he'd been watching what I do. First two turns off the lift were perfect full body contact toe and healside turns. We rode the whole day and he never rode again. Funny, he couldn't ride pow at all and he's a cat pow guide.
You make it look so easy Ryan love seeing you ride
Agree on value of learning to carve - a big issue is few resorts have wide low angle runs suitable for all out carving. Too many skinny steep twisty paths trough the woods (talking about you, east coast). Finding the right run to learn on is critical. First runs on the greens is the only safe time and place to really carve at my resort (Stowe VT)
Your 100 percent right. I live in the east coast and it’s brutal to progress for carving. I’ve been force to just learn to carve on narrow icy blue runs but I’m having trouble because by the time I finish a mellow carve I have a lot of speed and im already on the opposite side of the run. So I’ve forced myself to extend my knees on my toe side carve Bc that’s what I’m better at. This creates a much shorter radius turn and creates space for a mellow heel side carve attempt. I’m still having trouble on heel side carves and eat it a lot but third day on the mountain focused on carving and I can do some medium aggressive toe side carves. Malcom Moore and Ryan knapton have great content and are probably better than most in person board instructors.
This is spot on. This video is inspiring for sure. Seven days! Better than I am after 1000 days. But gentle viewers, don't be fooled: I have almost never seen runs like Breck's, and I have been to a lot of mountains in the West. Super duper wide open runs, lots of run out and space near the end of the runs (one could argue Breck is TOO flat because of said runouts). When you catch it on a good empty day - glorious. But those are pretty few and far between after about 10 a.m. As an example, Vail, Park City and our Great White Neighbor to the North Whistler are nowhere near as open (with groomed terrain, because of course the Back Bowls for example are totally wide open) as some of these runs, and those are very big resorts with lots of terrain. I've actually found Beaver Creek one of the best places to practice carving -- crowds are less and the top of the mountain is really open and nice.
End result to really try and get better at carving: pick your resort and time you ride wisely. Early birds get the worms.
These are the proves that you are the one of the most inspirational snowboarders ever.
i had more than 30days and still cannot do carving. thank you very much for the motivation sir!
Kid rides better than a lot of people at my local mountain. That’s so rad!!! Been getting into carving myself but my big ass size 13 foot is masking things difficult.
I love this channel! Glad to see you’re having so many subs now! Been following you for years and you made me got back to snowboarding again and taken notes from you, and I absolutely love it! Cheers from Norway!
2nd season snowboarder here, and what I regret like any unguided newbie: getting real advice, from numerous people, for purchasing a first board. I got a decent Capita board, before I took any measurements of my bindings and boots, and now I have overhang on both heel & toe side. I can carve decently, but not with clean marks--some carves, my overhang will catch really badly and I'll wipeout. Definitely getting a Donek soon for better carving technique.
Been watching your vids for about 4-5 years, they are all insane! This one has to be one of the best with inspiration from so many angles with Faisal and the father/son with so limited time at such a high level! So inspiring on so many levels!!
im so glad rk is back i missed his smooth skills, its nice to see a youngling following in the foot steps of a legend
Daamn its so satisfying to watch him carv
You Ryan! Some of Your thoughts written there was really useful to help a newbie! Well i know the most of any mistakes on a snowboard are similar for any beginner riders especially using heel edge.. Well.. mby You will find a couple of time to write a complete guide for that.. I think You have pretty enough of experience how to learn newbies for now... Thanks!
Ryan. Keep doing u. never stop educating ! Everything you speak of, technique, conditions, board parameters , etc... they are all Correct. What you said and say is right. How your board almost enables someone to actually shred, "they" naturally perform the correct techniques to unlock great potential in riding. Not everyone will want that experience through their personal shred journey but for the ones that do.... shred on !!! Your a TRUE Ambassador for our sport. The time u take out personally, of almost everyday your on the hill is what really is changing Lives. Spreading the StokE. The fucking vibe is high bro ! AloHa !!
Thank you! ❄️🏂❄️✌️
i'm only one day in to snowboarding but i binged watched your episodes.
helped me figure that's the type of snowboard i'd like to do get it to.
still trying to find the best budget board i could get for me.
shit's complicated af.
love your vids,keep it up
Wow! I'm riding for 5 Years and I dream about this technique! Impressive!
I really really love your channel and your carving. I really wish that there's a video that YOU Sir could create for beginners to learn on getting on edge; how it feels and how to turn to create those thin lines instead of skidded turns. Your videos are amazing but difficult to understand for beginners to know what we don't know. Please and thank you!
Amazing! I've been working on it twenty something years. You make it look easy. Great job!
Love the explanation of board design at the end. I am going to try some different kinds to see what they can do. Thanks Ryan
I had snotty boards as a beginner the I got a pantera nitro and it made a huge difference in my riding even though my pantera is a stiff advanced level board
First tip is to find a super wide slope like these you have there man, they are insane. Well groomed, good mellow inclination, and not many skiers, so you're free to carve on those long lines, just do that safety glance to check for incoming traffic from time to time 2:24
Dear Ryan! As for me this is the best video of your own! So much love for snowboarding… I would pray that some day I would have an opportunity to have a lesson from you. From Russia with love, Max
yeah, completly agree Ryan!
Thanks to you ive managed to pick up my wide and stiff camber burton board (ssadly donek is not available in russia). Indeed camber builds up energy for you and it feels so stable on good speed, and also making razor-wide turns
Excellent. 7 days and he can ride that well.
Never been riding just the 7 days.
Thanks for the help
Beautiful riding..
this is insane for 7 days, good job :)
day 7 and already has better awareness and safety than 90% of the people I see on the hill
Awesome video, that these beginners are learning so fast is because of your excellent teaching. I rode for 4 seasons and it wasnt till i started my own teachers course that i began understanding more about the physics of snowbaording which really progressed my riding. I have been looking for myself for that ryan knapton twin for a while now but mabye one day. In the mean while i have my soft twinpig which is really wide and lets me have loads of fun and carving on mellow slopes. Great videos man!
My favorite vid of yours by far. So so sick the whole way through!
Nothing but good turns and great homies
Wow, props to Fiysahhh( spelling?). Ryan, thank you for the inpiration!! Nanotube power source, lol. Thank you!!!! kaplaaahhhhh
What a nice video Ryan. Keep up the good work man. God bless!!
This ski resort is perfect!
Ryan,
Thank you for your passion and the way to transmit it
For 8 years in Polynesia, I have been in need of snowboarding !!
I was on Burton Factory Prime 176cm / Carbon Plate / 12 Reactor, I loved doing huge curves in Tignes ... (100Kg dressed)
Since I've been following you, I've been dreaming of coming to Breckenridge with my family, and why try to ride in SoftBoot ... but I don't know what to choose in Gear ...
Great video! I would say more calf and ankle flex training to strengthen his heelside. My mentor would say practice one big heel turn and push the limits till we get confortable.
Well done Ryan and Ethan!!
Thank you so much Bryan K...🙏 You are the original inspiration as to what's possible following Ryan's roadmap with mindful practice... We are big fans of yours!! Hope to shred together someday🤙
Ryan Z let me know you'll be coming to town early Feb. Keep in touch a bit before that. Kristin and I are planning a trip to some places in western Colorado over my birthday week, so hopefully it works that I'm still here when you arrive. ❄️🏂❄️✌️
What a great job. 7 days? That’s awesome!
Faissal you're such a nice guy! Ride on!
I can't get over these American slopes. They're like 3-5x longer than most Austrian slopes, perfectly flat and equally steep. Dream conditions for carving. You rarely find this here. Mostly you compete for space with lots of skiiers, but it always works out fine somehow. The slopes are very mountainy though. Lots of uneven terrain, narrow parts, turns, steeper drops, bumps from all the skiiers etc.
I had real hard time finding a board that will be wide enough for my 11.5 boots. Ended up with Burton Trick Pony 62W (26.5cm waist) and Malavita bindings. Worst part is some websites don't even post waist size of boards ;)
I ride 50-50 and ~12 degree duck stance. Even though the board is wide it took me a while to figure out proper placement of bindings to eliminate boot out.
You should ask Kristin if you could post a couple of videos of her shredding, from the couple of short clips I have seen of her she makes real nice turns ,thanks for the fun video knapton love your videos man
Ryan, love all your Vid's but this is your best VID to date ! love it
Dude!!!! You are inspirational :)
I need a Knapton twin!
Yea it sounds like it will be a interesting board. My concern is not to get something to stiff I like to play , ride switch , and carve. I am hoping the softer flex 7 KNAPTON will do the job for me. Thanks for all the get backs. Been in CO. for the last 6 years home is cali. I lived less than 10 min. From MAVERICKS 🏄🏼♂️🏂🤙🏻
Speak with Sean, will probably depend on your weight. He will dial you in 🤙🤙
Very nice carving!
9:00 what it’s like boarding in New England 🤣
I’ve been following you from the GrtGO!!!
My board is a bit flexy, a beginner board designed to handle all types of snow and riding. I feel it wobble a little bit when carving on icy snow. But I think that's not a bad thing for a novice. If the board was too rigid I'd just flip over on bigger bumps. :D
My daughter picked it up quick also. A wanna be Chloe Kim so it was different. More skids with jumps and tricks than carves though. Her goal on our first 4 day trip were the tricks. She's also a skateboarder so there is some foundation. But dude, that new kid's carves were awesome!!! Was he doing the switch buttering also?
Love ya Ryan. Thanks for the videos.
Love your channel, man! My next board is going to be a Knapton! ♥🙂
The east coast has ZERO groomers that nice my knees feel like shocks on a 4 wheeler out there lol
That is awesome, carving lie that after only 7 days!
Happy to see you again :D
Ryan and Ethan were amazing especially considering their time on the snow, but even aside from that.
Hey what causes Fisa's board to bob up and down as he carves on heel side? I get that when riding switch. I think it's not enough weight on front foot, sound right? More weight up front seems to help it. Been working on cleaning up my switch carving.
Hi Ryan, I’m one of your fan and I hope to see you perform live on the slope once 😂. Can you please tell me what ski resort you usually go to? Thanks
My favourite part of carving is needing 4 pairs of leather gloves every season! :D
great video as always
It would be interesting if you try your buttering style with a board with rocker in the middle to see what difference it would make
I see a lot of people carve intermittantly on a board so they sort of know 'how' to carve but for some reason don't realize how much more control carving offers while also lowering fatigue. Sliding out on a board over chopped snow fatigues your muscles so much compared to carving over the same terrain. I often board 5-8 hours and while 5+ my legs are starting to fatigue, they aren't shaking because I carve over most terrain, even moguls if they aren't huge ice blocks you can carve at the top or thru wide troughs.
Maybe because I started as a skier and I am still a better skier but carving seemed the ideal to progress toward when I started boarding, my main struggle with boarding is taking off switch. I can land switch and carve switch but launching side hits and jumps while in switch feels so fricken unnatural.
Dang this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Nice turns 🤙
Love it!!
Holy moly RYAN YEA 😳 that’s a huge difference. Is that also on the park twin core ? Or do you know the flex ? I am very interested. If you remember keep me up to date on your new board. I am sure you will rip on it. Just wondering your surfing background, where is home base for you? Nice talking and have fun shredding 🏄🏼♂️🏂🤙🏻
I asked Sean to make it slightly stiffer. He had to do some math/engineering to figure out how to make it all work because with me wanting a wider stance on a shorter board with my light weight he was concerned the inserts wouldn't be deep enough for the screws to catch..when I put them side by side it seems like the same core. But again, with the wider stance (less decamber in the middle while carving) and my boots being closer to the nose and tail (less board to bend) and it being a much wider board, (more material to bend) I think this one should fit the bill quite nicely....😀...i didn't want to oversteer the chef, I pretty much just told him the feeling that I'm looking for vs what I'm on now...unfortunately FedEx blew it so I haven't had a chance to try yet...😢 I will report back with my findings but am VERY EXCITED to say the least
We live in Long Beach, NY and surf right out front mostly or down the beach a bit at Lido. We ride in VT, but are headed to Beaver Creek next week!!😝🤙
With that said, I skate more than anything else....except in winter😉
7 days and carving like a pro.
As a suggestion same idea as the stickers you sell but what if you looked into iron on patches
7 days?? Are you serious?? Man I should have been taking lessons this whole time! Still, that family got talent!
So good! 🤙
Ryan, you are spot-on with your final assessment. I’ve been addicted to snowboarding since 1994. My 1st board was a Burton “Jeff Brushie” pro model. I thought it was the coolest thing ever at the time, but I booted out on hard turns every time and have booted out on every single board I have ever owned since then. Still searching at age 40 for the right board. I just bought a 2022 Ride Superpig in hopes to find some solid turns this season. Fail… Toes are fine, but still have heel cup rub and end up on my ass on heel side turns. I’m sick of narrow boards, they should be made wider to accommodate what I consider to be normal carving/deep carving. How has industry gone on so long without recognizing this?
