In this video Ryan and I catch some early morning turns at Breckenridge and talk a little bit about what makes a snowboard good for carving. A positive camber profile is going to provide the snowboard with more energy and snap, a stiffer flex will give you more stability and carry you through higher speed turns without washing out, and a wider snowboard will give you the ability to lay over turns more aggressively. Ryan also points out that you can carve and make clean lines with any snowboard, but these things will allow you to progress and try carves you may not be able to on other snowboards.

What a wonderful pair of lads right there! And highlighting the most important aspect -- safety.
This an awesome vid! Another vid of 2 legendary snowboarder sharing their thoughts, tricks and techniques in snowboarding! Not just purely snowboarding but they also give most important safety not only for yourself as rider but also for others who shares the hill with you. Hands up to you TJ and RYAN 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🏂🤘🏻👌🏻
4:55 adaptation at its best hehehe..... two legends!!! sick drone shots!
almost got awkward but they saved it
That recording above the lake blew my mind. What a day for boarding.
Has not snowed enough yet where im living. Just watching your videos to fill the void until i can get on the mountain.
Be great to see a review of Ryan’s board from your perspective TJ
Good to see you guys working together.... subbed to both . Happy Shredding everyone!
Love the collabs guys🤙🏼. Pray for snow!🙌🏼🙏
Great video! It's nice to see a mention for Jones - they are great boards albeit a little more situational than some, but I am a big fan of the company and Jeremy's outlook on conservation and minimising footprint while manufacturing them! Also, TJ - where can we get some of those sweet BA stickers???? we need to represent in the Alps!!
Worthy knowledge legends. That dude rips
Ryan is the man. That being said i rented a snowboard in 1986 in breckenridge. It was a burton. Nobody was snowboarding at the resort that day and i killed myself wrecking. That being said i went back to 2 planks. Never knew it would take off like it did.
Love how he gets up early before everyone else
ha. Clicked on this in my subs list thinking it was Ryan's video. Was confused when TJ did the intro...
me too...T.J.'s delivery is slick he's so easy to listen to ....nice n short n to the point vid....gotta get me a wider board ....
Me three!
i love how you can hear the excitement in his voice
Love that guy
Sick collab guys!! Love the tech talk 🤙🏼
JB !
Thank you for sharing .
Crazy beautiful! How to do that so extremely?
That steeze at 2:55 😂
Wow, those carves are awesome to watch! ASMR for snowboarding haha
Full speed shredding. Ryan must have had some brutal slams jibbing at that speed
Bro those goggles though 😎 dope!
Thanks dude!
Wow he's incredibly good!
I can carve like that at high speeds but I cant do those jumps at the same time, that looks amazing
I tried some shit he does and broke a part of my helmet
It's a shame a lot of good boards don't offer a wide version.
That's one of the reasons why I've still got my 2010 Atomic Hatchet Wide.
My Jones Hovercraft is great for carving. Ryan has style like the Japanese snow surfers, so smooth.
Really good content!
Yo, you should try to get your hands on the Bataleon party wave! Great vid as always🤘
Nice one Ryan!
Ryan is one of my favorite humans ever
Hey Ryan, have you ever tried Magnetrek edges for carving ?
Absolutely amazing, let's pray for a release of the restrictions for the winter season 2020/2021 and enjoy that! Mainly in middle of the Europe. :-)
awesome!
You guys rock
Ryan is a legend, he rides with 'Strapins' around his boots btw for extra control
4:55 awkssss!! 😂 amazing video guys!! 🤙
hello there! great video as always... (Y) listen i need some help in choosing my next board. I am tall 6 feet and i weight 165 lbs. I'm currently riding a Salomon Sanchez 151, but i find it a little fluffy when i try to follow my skiier friends. would you recommend the 154 warpig or the 157 super 8? or you do have other suggestions?
If you got 8,5 size what do you think is best as a wide waist on an board? Keep up the good work!
Great info..... Cracks me up when people say exspecially 3:34
Tortional stiffness, longitudinal stiffness, a fairly long effective edge, and sharp edges
just sick, so sick
What size board should I look for, I wear shoe size 13?
What stance does Ryan ride? Great vid!
Ryan’s the MAN!!!
2:07 thats the problem I have. Sometimes my toe strap has come undone XD
2:22 wow
Is the ride warpig a good board for a intermediate wanting to get into double blacks and try going into the park to just get the air and try rails.
0:27 - THIS is my objejctive for the season.
Jack Monegato same
Same!!
How great is Colorado snow compared to other states?
I recently bought capita mercury 159cm i think width is like 25.9. I wear size 10.5 boots. Do i need a wider board?
How do you feel a shorter/fat board with 3BT like the Bataleon Party Wave would handle eurocarves like this?
I have a burton ripcord 2018 is that board good I’m beginner/intermediate
Are you going to try his pro-model in the future ?
I can feel the steeze from Colorado Springs
How about binding degree? I'm a hard charger and love carving and I don't play in the park... at all! What board offers that 31+ width? What board was he riding?
A couple years ago, I researched boards for a month, before I bought mine. I was not only looking at waist width, but also nose, tail, and radius, and then calculating what the width at the bindings would be... Got the widest board that I could find, but still can't quite lay it all the way over, without dragging toe. 😒 I remember watching one of Ryan's videos about him getting custom made boards, but I couldn't afford that.. 😭😭 Size 13 feet! Damn yoouuu!
Palmer risers
@@daveg5857 When leaning over hard, and the board nears 90 degrees/perpendicular with the snow - which is where my issue arises - risers are going to have no affect.
“Watch me carve on this balloon shaped like a puppy!” -Knapton
“Watch me catch all 4 edges at the same time!” -Me
Hey, really appreciate the video. I wear a size 14 and I am having tons of problems with heel and toe overhang. I’m riding a Capita wide @ 26cm but I’m having a hard time finding much else wider. Do you have any recommendations?
put a spacer between your fix and your board is one the other one is changing your board to wider
What brand boot do you use Ryan?
Really like your carving !!
My boots are size 8, and I like doing carving as well. Question please: is 26-28 wrist is good for size 8 boot? Thank you.
Awww ya ryans a beast
ellstacker adventures
No u!
@@T25de no u!!!
What is te eyemask brand?
What length snowboard should someone who is 170cm tall get?
Hey Ryan, Love your stuff! I'm in the midst of buying a new board, i'm 150 lbs with 11 - 11.5 size boots, been looking at a 157w board with 268mm waist width, the most i've ridden is 263 mm.. will it be that much of a difference? will it be noticably harder to turn or switch from edge to edge? or will it be just perfect after getting used to it even at slower speeds?
hope my question/s are clear :D, would really appreciate your insight and help,
Thanks so much! much love!
Do you end up getting the 157w? If so how do you like it? I’m about 150 lbs size 11.5-12. Been riding a 156 twin, just ordered a 157w for this year.
no mention of his board, it is a Donek, top level custom boards
They forget to mention: the board has to be strong against twisting. A 200 pound border got easily 600pound pressure on the edges. A salami board will not stand the pressure, it will twist and you are down. Strongest boards in that way are swoard (Switzerland).
Does anybody know what ryans stance radius of binding disc to perform these?
12/12 I believe
What type of flex in a boot works best for carving? Can you ride w a soft/medium flex boot?
you definitely can, but a stiffer boot is better for carving because they are more responsive and can handle the forces better. Ryan wears a very stiff boot, mine is more mid flex
Are you going to make a 2018-2019 gear list video?
yes
@@BoardArchive 👍
Help me, what is Ryan 's helmet brand? 🤔👊
Absolutely
How do you combat heel lift on wide boards on toeside carves?
Buy good boots
Experts
Rozklapiocha x
Indeed
0:43 excuse me
Lol
Hahaha I do that too sometimes. I'll have the words in my brain but they all come out jumbled up
man i thought ryan was like a giant size dude. no wonder why he's so agile and stuff
Size 8 boot!? Smdh. Im gonna need extra extra wide board
You didnt talk about snowboard size and stance width
Great video and advice. Too bad the reality of the people in the north east that the slopes are SUPER crowded.
What brand is your facemask from?!!
I feel I can carve well i just dont have the ability to i have a size 15 foot, my toes and heels always catch, I cant find a board thats wide enough for my feet any recommendations
Most companies will custom make boards, but I suggest never summer, marhar or donek for the best customs.
SONG?
I moved to a cheapy wide-ish board and it was no hassle to get used to. And as you say, they float better in powder. I honestly can't see a downside to a wide board for most riders. 👍 Hard boot narrow board types, they have their own peculiar needs, but most of us aren't them. 😁
carving with the2019 lib tech Trice pro 157W waist width 26.3 and with 11 size boots max stance width and -15,15 degrees and can hang these carves. trying to imagine what a 32 would be like... must be insane
Is there a burton board?
Can someone explain me how he switches from a side to the other this fast : 2:33 ?
Is he moving his both legs at the same time ??
Thanks !
he twists his hips
Besides the twinpig are there any other super wide twins?
Hugo Beukers i have the GNU Riders Choice 158W. Has asymmetrical sidecut like the Ride Twinpig.
Will you guys ever visit finland? Also what was with the livechat being so late? It was 5am here when normally it's 10pm when the livechat starts
Miten menee kaveri?
@@bijucyborg eipä tässä mitää. Oottelen vieläki lumii ku ei tääl eteläs pääse laskee enne jouluu
@@leevi2138 se on paskaa tilanne
what's 31.2? inches or mm? sorry newbie here
Virus Eliminatior III 😍😍😍
Hi guys, I'm finding it nearly impossible to find a really wide board for my size 14 US feet. I boot out badly on my 27 waist Palmer timeless, at only 60 degrees board angle. Big guys want to carve too!! Any recommendations please? Looking for a31 or 32 by my calculations. Thanks!
Doug freighter!
capita super DOa 165 will i have overhang with 285(11) boots?
you should be fine with a 262mm waist width or wider
@@BoardArchive thanks so much!!!
yesterday i was snowboarding but i was thinking it would be easy to learn carving but i litterly spended 6 hours there and still cant carve. I needed to stop like every 10 meters and brake
Once you get confident it's light work don't shit on yourself you'll gain confidence through time
@@drewpluto2716 Yeaahh i think i need to go more so i can work on it because i forget the progress everytime.
The cut off for 11 / 11.5 is a 25.8 waist width.. you can get away with no toe or heel drag...id say 12 or higher benefits from wides.
However, i notice my union force bindings are super tiny whereas my Ultras take up more space...so the size of your boots aswell as your bindings matter when minimizing toe/heel overhang
I rock burton motos which have a small toe box
Lol, I get toe/heel drag with a 25.5 waist in a size 9 boot. Guess it depends on your definition of the word “carving”.
@@ElValuador if your doing ryan knapton stuff, sure...your gonna need a wide deck
@@Matthew-re9pb Unlike the vast majority of boarders I simply do more than skid my turns. Anything more than 3/4 of an inch of overhang will cause serious toe and heal drag.
Gee, Ryan, you're almost, my virtual self, three decades later! "PSR"
But, did You ever, design a Half-pipe/Park that's, now Older than You? I Don't Wonder... At that.
How wide is the twinpig
25.7 cm
Tfw you ride a wide board and still have heel/toe overhang
What kind of camber- reverse or traditional?
i'd recommend positive camber for carving focus
@@BoardArchive Thanks for the answer. What would you recommend for high speed, carving but also something with decent pop and not too stiff? I like Arbor but not sure which one of their boards to go with.
About me as a rider: Consistent rider 12-24, only few sessions last 5 years are so but everything still comes back real fast (except for park) -
I either didn't pay attention growing up or tech has really evolved because all of these styles are new to me! hah
on that snow you can carve also with a door.....LOL.... Carvers do not ride Softboots and Softboards! at hard snow conditions you can slide with that equipement only ;-)
Where is that place its beautiful
Which city is there?
Denver?
what board has a 32 waist?
A custom-made Donek.
@@terrashaide5706 are they any good?
Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.
