Gotta say, I think I enjoy your “riding” vids the most. Don’t feel under pressure to create wisdom/tutorial vids - this stuff is perfect. I miss the Smooth Snowboarding videos!
This!
facts, I was thinking the same thing!
Make whatever you like... we love your content!
Powderhorn is my local mountain that I work at. I've been waiting for the day you came here and missed you 😭
This guy embodies what a great day on the hill looks like....so good 🙏🏼
I'm 47, been riding for 25 years. Lately, life has taken the thrill out of heading up to the hill. Watching you make these amazing turns refreshed what I love about riding. Taking a sick day next week. Thank you.
You know what would be great? "Snowboarding Buckhill!!!"
Thank you for including a couple turns that were "failures". Shows that you are human and makes me feel better about all the mistakes I make. Keep up the great vids!
My appetite for snowboarding grows with every video.
Hey Ryan I got my Donek Kapton Twin 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. I'm surprised at how well it does everything. I got Donek to detune it and it rides like a dream. Better than any other board I've owned. I realize now that my other boards have been too soft and too small. The Knapton Twin turns surprisingly just as well as my smaller boards.
Would you ever consider making a bloopers video? We always see superhero riding on TH-cam but it'd be nice to see how you deal with bad days, mistakes while riding, and also if you have any training tips such as how many hours you spend as a pro rider, and if you do any other activities off-mountain like going to the gym etc.
Thanks for all of the great content you've given us over the years. You're inspiring a whole new generation of riders out there. I'm noticing a bunch more carver on the mountains this year. I had a group of people notice my board in Whistler last weekend, and a woman had purchased a new Knapton Twin for her husband. They said they met you last year at Breckenridge and that you were very kind to them, rode a few laps and gave them some tips on their riding (they were an Asian couple). Very cool man! Cheers from Canada!
8 days until I hit the mountains Ryan. This has made me so excited, thanks!
The Music, the skills, the legend himself. Holy Cow, I am loving this video!!! Wish I will someday be capable to do 20% of what you are doing. Been Snowboarding for 21 years now, but this channel has truly showed me where the skill ceiling might be. You are a legend kind sir, I wish you the freshest groomers and the most sunny days on the mountain. Keep it up! Such an inspiration, thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
THE SUN CAME OUT. AMAZING.
Thank you so much. You reincarnated my love to snowboarding ) again and again. Every new season ))
Ever since I started snowboarding, 2021, I've fallen in love with your style of riding. Absolutely can't wait until I get a wider snowboard, preferably a Donek Knapton Twin!
Once the Sun popped, wow!! Looks like your had a blast out there with all the space for turns. Might be the first vid I’ve seen you within the trees. You truly looked like a kid in a candy store. You make this look too easy sir!
Where R u, my friend. We miss U. Hope to see U soon. And HNY 2023. Kaapppaaaa 😊🤗🙏😋
Hey Ryan, in addition to the vinyl on the sleeves which is great, I’ve added in wearing soccer shin guards on my forearms so when I’m making those giant S turns the shins guards are like mini sleds across the snow. You should give it a try.
Loving the return of your content, Ryan. One interesting topic you've alluded to multiple times is adjusting carves/turns based on the conditions of the snow & runs. I think you could do an entire video covering this topic and getting into great detail about the types of turning adjustments one should make as the conditions change and get worse. For example, how your turns change if/when the runs are chewed up and/or icy. It's something I've often thought about and makes such a big difference with how I snowboard as the day/conditions progressively change. Keep up the great content!
This would be one of the most informative videos for me.
This would be a great video topic, and not only how to adjust riding style, but also board selection, if you have more than one board to choose from. I certainly do adjust my riding style based on conditions. When it's colder and hard pack or ice, I definitely take it easy out there. Soft groomers are my favorite as I can carve, practice tricks, jumps, and not worry about falling. Powder days are super fun and great for big jumps.
yeaaaaaa boi, You know its Winter when RK videos start popping up on your feed again.
I can tell you were in your groove for sure! Powderhorn is a great mountain and is usually not to crowded and a beautiful drive up there on the mesa. I lived in GJ for about a year.
Definitely a trip for the memory bank. :) We combined it with a trip to the Iron Mountain Hot Springs and riding Sunlight, then stayed in Palisade for super cheap and rode Powderhorn the next day. F'n beautiful trip.
@@RyanKnapton Awesome man sounds like a great trip. Sunlight was okay, if I remember the chair lifts were outdated and you had to take like two different chairs to get to the top and god forbid you passed the chair on your way down.
It would be awesome to meet you one day bro I’ve been following you for years and have been shredding the Knapton twin for the last 3 seasons carving it up here in whitefish MT.
You should hit up Big mountain here in whitefish one of these days. Peace ✌️
Ryan - Fellow MN boarder here. Love your content. Followed you video and made three small tweaks to my binding setup and improved my heel side and tie side carving today!!! Thank you !
1). Forward lean… I increased mine to a strong F3 on Cartel X
2). Put the ankle strap on the highest setting. Implication… I ride Burton Ion boots. Lots of boot, not enough strap… but enough there to work… helps with toe side leverage… good call
3) Align high backs to be parallel to the heel side edge… subtle, but nice add.
Was digging trenches today… edge analysis - on target!!! Love IT!
Thanks!
Seeing a lot less crowds at Epic resorts this year... seems like folks are moving towards Ikon. If that means wide open groomers for us carvers then I'm all for it!
Your videos are so much fun to watch. Glad you're getting out and shredding!
So happy to see you hit my home mountain for the return of kaplah!! Love you bud, happy you got to experience our little refuge away from the crowds of the front range ;)
Those shots with that big bright sun behind you were killer!
always an enjoyment to watch Ryan ride! 😆
Thanks for posting from Powderhorn! Awesome riding as usual. Made me think of an amazing pow day riding in the trees there about 20 years ago when I lived in Wildernest...took a little road trip to the western slope. Ahhh the good old days.
While I like your instructional videos, I love these kinds of videos of you just shredding. thanks for your content, it's made me a better rider!
Ahhh! I cant believe youre here! I live in Grand Junction (I just moved here a few weeks ago) and want to get up to Powderhorn soon too! 🤗 Happy riding!
This was so nice to watch after getting my first turns in for the season this morning; can't wait to hit up the hill tomorrow morning - love the glitch hop selection lately, Ryan
Glad you're BACK!
If someone put a gun to my head and said I had to choose one single snowboarder to represent the whole sport to people who don't board......it would be you everytime dude. Your videos carry such a good vibe than anyone can relate to. Pro or beginner. You just exude love of the sport with nothing else clouding it. Qapla! 🤙
Love that place!! Had a similar experience when I went there about 9 years ago. Super chill and great for carving. Stoked to see you out laying trenches on some empty runs. That’s the best! Can’t wait to ride with ya again homie.
Always inspiring to watch you ride Ryan. You make it look effortless.
I appreciate you showing some of your "fails", that's what most of my
carving looks like. 😁
Thanks for sharing and keep yourself safe! Qapla!!! 😃👍❤️🏂
Randy
That section you were in the trees weaving in and out, thats the stuff I personally love to do and see.
driven by powder horn many times. def need to actually stop and go there!
Love your videos!!! I saw you at breck on a Saturday morning, I could tell your riding style from a long distance. Inspiring style dude!!!
Good to see u again Ryan, and good to see u start going into the trees tree🌲 ,it's fun
Ryan! Your mastery, advise and positive coherent character are unmatched. Thank you! Damn, you are my 'boarding hero!
Regarding your thought experiment on "How to Really Really Carve #15", will you expand upon the heels/toes board tilt, specifically, the position of your sidecut in relation to your torso? Whereas if the torso is fairly neutral ("silent"), when transitioning from edge to edge, the contact points are like a swift pendulum, extended well beyond the centerline. Any advise on how to tap into that physical mechanic? ...video idea?... eh eh 😋Thanks again for your inspirational work and Qapla'!
Hey Ryan, happy shredding!
I'm planning a snowboard trip out to CO for the first time roughly in Jan. Hope the crowd is low and snow is great at that time.
1. Would you say doing a solo trip is feasible in CO, cost-wise and social vibe of the mountain? (i.e. if I were not to rent a car and take local public buses)
2. For roughly 1 week would you recommend I visit multiple resorts (and base myself in Denver) or stick to ~2 resorts? My Ikon pass gives me access to Copper, Steamboat, Winter Park, Eldora, Arapaboe. Unfortunately, it seems the resorts arent close together and public transportation doesnt seem as accessible. Is there a better town to better access all these resorts with bus systems?
Thats my mountain!!
Ты лучший🤘🏻 Ryan is a special mood! I do not know any such positive snowboarder with unsurpassed perfected movements🔥🔥🔥
2:00 it’s healthy to see that even the best of carvers sometimes lose the edge during high speed carves, even with extra wide boards and the skill-set... it still happens to the best of ‘em when you’re going hard! Ryan... COME TO ASPEN/SNOWMASS! We have sooo much fun carving up the easy terrain of Buttermilk, Snowmass and Highlands!!! Crowds are pretty minimal outside of holiday rushes! Would love to lay some pencil thin lines and deep gouges with you My Man! Quplaaaaahhh!!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
This is my home resort!!!
Awesome shred! Happy New Year of riding and thanks for changing the game
Thanks for a great vid. I appreciate your carving and selfish stick prowess.
Love PH, reminds me of a much simpler time. Keep up the great content!
Dude, where have you been. Nice to have you back.
So empty and sooo smooth)
As usual a great display of skills! 🤟
You should check out BigSkyTelemark. He does very similar mega laid out carves on Tele skis but he has disc golf disks attached to his glove that make the laid out turns way easier on your hands.
That’s an East coast powder day
4:40 starts the real jam! XD
Absolutely love this! Thank you for your content. such an inspiration can’t wait to start my season.
Waving in your general direction from Utah!
Heyo ! Doing the same for this season my doode ! I'm going in a not so known resort/station right besides the big station of the area, hope to shred like nobody's business. Tried it for a day last year. Looks promessing even for powder runs and hiking too ;)
keep it rad dude, love you
라이언 랩턴 🤩
Snow looks great there for early December.
This was Feb 9th of last year. I just never got around to editing it until now. :)
@@RyanKnapton Ahh, still looks great. There and Sunlight are the only 2 CO ski areas that I have not yet skied. Random question ... do you know if there are any weekly foos tourneys happening?
@@stevewitman Hit both those resorts sometime. You'll love em. They just are so different than anything on the EPIC and IKON. Closest foos scene in Bobs in Avon, Tuesday nights at 8:30. Otherwise in Denver, Mirage Sports Bar, Friday DYP, Saturday BYP, around 7. That scene is crazy though! Literally some nights there are eight Masters... I've never experienced this level of competition other than at Majors. Hell, three of the four players in the Open Doubles at Worlds this year came from this weekly tourney. (Todd Loffredo, Scotty Wydman, and Keven Romero)... And on the Womens side, Cindy Head made the finals once again... it's nuts... And amazing. Hit up Avon. Their scene has evolved too, but go play some smart ball, and you'll enjoy it. :)
Awesome
yay bs nose rolls!
you need a insta 360 🎉
Ryan, I'm really curious about the best speed for carving,
I'd love if you make a video related to speed, assuming the slopes are well groomed, and good for carving
Nice video! I wonder if powder horn will soon get a high volume of snowboarders because of you. keep up the good work
i love your style!!! I try to repeat some of you tricks. Eurocarve work fine on both edges . But i destroy my Hoodie elbow spot all the time. i saw you "patches" and wanna ask you where you get this? do you have a amazon link for that?'
And do you have a tipp so i dont destroy my Gloves while i make a heelside Eurocarve ?
thanks for you time
@gopro sponsor this man with a max360
p-horn ❤
I’ve always wanted to ride Powderhorn. Grand Mesa is an awesome area. Is this footage from this year?
3:00 Ratchet burckle or strap is flaped over and dragging ㅜㅜ maybe the snow is bit too soft to hold your super high lateral pressure!!
Any chance you will snowboard at Winter Park next week?
Hey man, stumbled upon your stance width vid. Question for ya, are you still using a stance around 25 inch wide? Just getting back into riding again this year (stopped around 2008). Currently using a 25 inch stance in park as thats what I used to use. I notice so many people using narrower stance in park than before. Is it just a new trend?
cheers
Did you give up on the insta360?
@RyanKnapton do you use a GoPro? If so, can you post the GoPro settings you use?
Ryan in trees :-) Make more of these and some tutorials 🙂
Ryan in trees is like watching Picasso painting a fence :)
@Erikk Hyndman Ryan is a master. Him riding on grooms is a masterpiece and the art of snowboarding. Him riding the trees or making tutorial on that subject is a complete WASTE of his TALENT
Freestyle board isn't the best for carving .I prefer to ride a freestyle board as it's the most versatile board out there..am im.sure if you don't have that Damm camera in your hand it would be a lot more fun.but thanks for the vid ..keeps me chomping at the bit
Love the awful views. Miss you. Don't get hurt out there. Quaplow
What's your guesstimate for total hrs on a snowboard I think you can snowboard better than I can walk, thanks for the upload first time seeing you in the trees to.
How come you're not using your new insta360? Don't like it?
Dude don't put us on blast
Hey dude what binding angles are you riding?
Looks like your "elbow down" carves got a bit rusty :p
What bindings are you on this season?
Is this your normal width board here? Looks a bit narrower around your boots?
Great observation! This was my previous board with 1 cm narrower. With increasing the radius over time, I've had to up the waist width to keep the underfoot width similar. And then add in the softer snow conditions, and I was sinking in deeper on the turns than normal. ❄️🏂❄️✌️
If everyone would carve on edge we wouldn’t have pesky bumps or ice.
Ryan what's the turn radius on those boards? Every time I try to do these carves my board bites so hard into the snow I feel like I am going to eat my edge. Maybe I am digging too hard on front/back foot?
His custom spec boards have a large sidecut radius. But Could also be a matter of stiffness. A soft board is going to de-camber a lot under g-load, and really tighten up the turn.
song name please starting at 4:40 ? :)
😁👍💯
Mr. Knapton, awesome video, as always. I like your tips about exploring other mountains that are less popular. And I totally agree with you; with the introduction of Epic and Ikon passes, these resorts are overselling, resulting in long lift lines.
I will be in Salt Lake City in late January; I have a road trip to snowboard at Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, and Powder Mountain resorts.
Please let me know if you want to join me at one of those resorts. :)
PS: Not sure if you recall, but we hit the slopes in Breckenridge Ski Resort last January. It was brief since you needed to head back to Colorado for brunch with the family. I will DM you an awesome pic we took together at the end via Instagram.
Be safe, and keep on shredding!
Hi Ryan, which bindings and boots do you actually use?
He uses burton mission bindings with a third strap drilled into the high backs. And I believe burton imperial boots (whatever is their stiffest boot)
No!!!! Stop telling people about Powderhorn hahahaha!

What is a good boot that has a smaller footprint? I have a size 12 with a 165w 267 waist and still my big ass feet hang over 🥺. I want to carve like this dude but literally impossible with my toe overhang
These days I'm recommending Ride Insanos. At first they were too stiff for me, but after leaving the boa just a bit loose for awhile, now they feel like the best interface to the board I've ever had. Small footprint too. If looking for really deep / high edge angle carving, an extra wide Donek is a brilliant choice for not dragging toes / heelcups.
@@RyanKnapton thanks for the recommendation, I'll check them out
Stop, you’ll ruin our spots man
Thank You for your amazing vids and advices.
I just want to know your opinion. My boot size is 49. None of uw/sw snowboards helped me to avoid bites. I was looking for the wildest board and the widest I found it's lib.t. stupm ape. But the website shows it's hybrid shape. Will it work for carving? Or if you know any wider boards..
