solid! I wish more people would spent time learning how to carve on snowboard AND skis. most people just butt wiggle and go straight.... make America carve again!
Love it! 😂
That would be MACA💪
Never in my life have I written a TH-cam comment. But from a goon, thank you for these videos.
Thanks! Happy shreddin!
I really like the behind the back camera angle at 5:00
This is really a great video. When I started learning how to really carve I realized that doing it in steeper terrain seemed impossible. It took me a solid season to realize that on some runs you just might have to skid turns. I think it’s gonna help a lot of people hearing it from you in a video. Because for a minute I was kinda discouraged thinking I just would never be able to carve the whole mountain, not realizing that good riding is gonna be a little bit of both.
Yeah, definitely one of the problems with trying to carve properly on steeper terrain is that most riders and skiers just skid from side to side in a straight line down the hill and it can be dangerous to carve across the slope because they don't expect it and you risk a collision on your blind side, or it's just hard to pick the perfect line you want when it's busy. Also agree that your friends tend to head as fast as they can straight to the next lift and wonder why you're taking so much longer to get down the hill, but you get to do more riding so that's their problem!
💯
Thank you from a 50 year old boarder, I’m now doing some good caving on my Kessler ‘ride’ love your style.been riding since 1994 with a 12 year ‘break’ when an alpine snowboarder and me collided at the same point on the mountain. Broke my tibular n fibular clean thou. It was neither my fault or his. Get looking back up that mountain people! Keep safe n ride well, thanks love Rachel GB
Your technique is so crispy man. Keep up the elite caliber videos!
Awesome. Hope you are enjoying all that new snow.
That top down View was rad.
You can really see the true shape of the side cut in action!
You make the internet a better place. Left a tip to say thanks for all the tips!
🙏🙏🙏. Happy shreddin and Qapla'! ,🏂✌️
Ryan Knapton did you receive it and get the message ?
The overhead angle at the end helped alot..Thanks Ryan!
The beautiful carving boi showing the arch length of the turn to control the speed ❤️
Love your videos Ryan, an absolute inspiration for Snowboarders everywhere! Heading to Austria in 10 days so watching lots of your content again in prep :-)
Love the overhead shot. Not only cool but helpful.
the only time I managed to get such a nicely groomed piece of piste was first run of the day on a black because nobody goes on the black piste straight away. It was on the sunny side as well so the snow wasn't iced. That was a dream to ride. Sadly with 1 day trips it's hard to arrive before the gondola starts working.
Super cool tips, been trying to up my steeper terrain game for a while, will try this out, cheers dude.
Enjoy watching you carve, and aspire to be nearly as good as you. The reason for this post is to especially make a comment, that on all your videos it's clear to see the awareness you have for the people up hill of you at all times. Maybe a video to highlight the importance of looking up as well as down the hill (you do it naturally, I may have missed an earlier post)
Found video A of the ABC series - fantastic, should be a mandatory video for anyone on the slops
Great tips. Sounds a lot like Katie has said about finishing your turns properly
Rad tips! We had an epic opening day at Mt. Baker yesterday on the Pacific Northwest. You guys were lucky with your early season this year.
Nice on Mt. Baker! Hell yeah on the incredible early season here! Feels like I already have half a season in! 😀🤘
Keep up the great work! Awesome weather as always! Here in Vancouver always cloudy and rainning up the mountain😭
I have to say, these are my favourite vids of yours - the same tutorial format of your older videos that made me a subscriber all those years ago. I like the focus on specific skills/drills - concise, on-point, really insightful videos/angles. Always nice to see your vlogs and tips with other riders but I do not get as much value/insight from them - but plenty of your subscribers do! Hope you don't mind my constructive feedback - just a big thumbs-up from me to please keep doing these tutorial vids as well as your vlogs! (I miss your "that's dagshit!" tutorials!)
P. S. Qapla!
awesome style, calm, clear presentation and solid footage. Thanks for your work Ryan
Can you do a video on holding an edge in different conditions, like chop? Also, fun things to try on bumpy days?
Bro..you carve like a boss!!!
Thank you for instruction and inspiration.
Nice video Ryan! I received my Knapton Twin today.
Gonna try this tomorrow :)
Happy Shreddin and Qapla!!
I watched a first video from you yesterday about the Burton Step On bindings. Your smoothness and carving is unreal! One day.... 😂
Great video! Thank you for the great tips and examples. I’ll figure this out one day hopefully. Maybe tomorrow. Happy shreddin. Qapla’!

Thank you for that advice! That makes a lot of sense and I’ll keep that in mind as I try to do it. Happy shreddin! 🏂👍
This was insanely helpful... thank you SO much, Ryan!!! The king of carving.
Absolutely love your videos! Those groomers look absolutely amazing! I've always loved carving and how your videos are giving me some tips and better understanding of exactly what I've been seeking, think i may need to upgrade my board soon. Using a 06 Ride Yukon at the moment!
Thanks again Ryan and hi from Canada!
Ryan thx bro. I know I’ve been asking for tips on steeper terrain and this is all the stuff I’ve been working on and BRO it definitely works but man it’s a leg burner!
Love my donek! Couldn’t do this type of carving on a steeper pitch comfortably without that 30.5cm waist and dampening.
Good stuff man! We def need to ride sometime
Hey I noticed in this video that you had a few more views of your legs directly from the toe side. Way easier to tell what's going on than the front on views where the fisheye makes it look like you're always in the back seat. Great advice, thanks for doing it, hope to run into you!
Fair play bro u got some skills make it look super easy keep it up absolutely love what you are doing 💪🏻🏔
Great video as always Ryan, For me it is very much turn tight and turn often , this limits the acceleration phase of turn alot plus i get to enjoy ALOT of turns and edge transitions.
I think of turns as clock face on steeps ill start my turn at (regular toe edge carve) 12 oclock and then travel around the face of the clock and change edges on to heel edge at 7 oclock where ill then continue around the clock-face counterclockwise (regular heel edge)12 oclock to and finish the turn at 5 oclock where ill then switch back to my toe edge carve and start the cycle over again. :)
Also its very important to look around the turn when on steeps for a couple of reasons its better for situational awareness, it makes completing the turn fully and turn back up hill far easier. Also if you find your front foot is bucking and skipping about (often on heel edge) your probably not weighting it enough and often it is cause by looking straight down the hill in the final 1/3 of the turn rather than looking around the turn to where you are wanting to go.
The emphasis on the C turn is my biggest take away. I think it's a huge misconception among many of is that you are to switch edges during the turn. Thanks as always Ryan.
I am new at snowboarding and I've watched alot of videos, but yours are my favorite
Hey Ryan,
I'm loving your videos!
I think in one of them you said you'd do a video with tips on how to ride flat and narrow runs. I don't know if you've done it but I couldn't find it. In case you have not, I'd really love some tips on how to handle flat runs and narrow cat trails. Thanks! Loving your channel!
YES PLEEEEEASE, I can relate to this so much! I hate it so much when there are these almost even tracks between two ski runs and all the skiers pass me, pushing themselves with their sticks and I am there: "crawling" on one edge and getting cramps in my feet or toes getting slower and slower and slower xD... (6:47)
@@nebtik6489 man, yes! I'm looking forward to it so much too!
Great idea is to start snowboarding at the same time one of your good friends does so you both progress around the same rate and can do runs together.
This is great for when it’s wide and clear, my issue is when it’s crowded and narrow.
Always an energetic inspiration, thanks!
BRO that random ski though. HA! great vid as always. American on 9 really makes you work on carving back up to slow down....and the speed checks.
I love how you help the skiers “clean up their trash”. My Husband and are are avid snowboarders and always stop when we can to help the skiers after a yard sale or even help them up when the are down. It’s a lot easier for us to get down, help them out, and get up again😁
Stiffer board Hard rock/Heavey metal music.good to go!
Where do you buy your snowboards? Ireally need to know. I am not the worst snowboarder and when i really carve i always tend to touch the snow with my heels and tows of my binding. (I have shoe size 47.5). It would be awesome if you could tell me your shoe size and where you buy your boards.
Thanks in advance
on another note -- where i have a season pass; Brighton -- there's no where near the wide runs you're on -- lucky SOB!! :) I'm a car ride away being in Utah so I might have to take a road trip.
3:17 Picking up skiers' trash.
Horseshoe bowl looked prime there at the end, I think I may have been there for one of those five times you’ve carved that run
Super helpful video! Thanks so much! ❤️
Great tips. If you really get hooked on carving though, get you an alpine board that's super stiff and has deep side cut and heaps of camber. Double Black or even Black, probably not. But Blue runs, it's more about hanging it out down the fall line. You can see in this vid some speed wobbles and lack of stability. All that vanishes w/ an alpine board so you can just blaze the S turns. Must be groomed Blue runs though at least at my punk level
Wish I saw this video before getting my A** handed to me last weekend lol. I kept trying to do S carves on a steeper mountain and I was confused on why I wasn't putting in work. Now that you explained it it makes alot more sense to make a "C" instead of an "S"
If you're ever in Japan please keep us posted, would love the opportunity to meet up and I can film you or just kampaii a beer :) Cheers and keep up the great and awesome work bro.
Great video Ryan, I love how you explain things! I only started snowboarding last year but I really want to get carving down.
I’ll be working on carving this season. At the moment I’m having trouble just rocking from edge to edge with even weight distribution.
I need to have more confidence in my edges, and more commitment .I’m hoping to dial that in this season.
Question for you, why does your back knee bend more than your front when you are carving?
I see it in your videos all the time.
Thanks for the content and thank you for being you.
You’re one of a kind!
Happy Shredding and QAPLA!
Thanks Man, I don't really have an explanation on the back knee getting low to the snow like that, other than it works great! If I try to touch the front knee to the snow while doing those quicker type turns especially, then real funky things happen (in a bad way). Just standing here in my kitchen replicating my stance it makes sense to me tho.. since I'm opening my hips up towards where I want to go, that's the only way the knees bend properly... And if I try to bend my front knee down towards the snow it instantly feels like the body position should be for a switch toeside carve. Not sure if im explaining that well tho..
Thanks for the reply Ryan. That does make sense and you explained it well.
I’ll try playing around with this in January.
Thanks again! QAPLA!
I wish I was as good at something as you are at this.
Practical advice 👍
Hey Ryan nice vid. Can’t recall if you covered J turns in another vid, they are a really good step in carving steeps. Also you showed the commitment required to transition to the downhill edge but didn’t talk about it. It can be scary especially going toe to heel as you need to huck it blind over your shoulder but it’s a necessary skill for linking turns on steeps.
I race GS for my high school team, you should do a vid on binding degree pros and cons!! Like having a rear foot at 0 degrees adds power etc so we can all learn
very helpful tips cause some ppls ski hills the mountain range that I board is either really steep or really mellow there's no real happy medium. We live off a mountain range call the Northwesters in Ontario it's icy it's steep. next best place would be lutsen MN 1hr away from my town, probably heard of it ur MN boy they've done lots of good work millions of dollars on a new lifts/ 115 runs total Gonna to make my way up to Colorado one day and get out of the " ice coast as they call it"
Of all my riding in MN, never made it to Lutsen unfortunately.
Ryan Klug
Which Colorado spots are priority?
I’ve only hit winterPrk once. Going to visit Breck mid January.
Have you been to Whistler?
@@T25de I'm not sure yet. Anywhere but here lol I just know with the elevation anything West here it's a lot lighter fluffier snow we're in a Lower elevation (east Canada) and it tends to be a harder more granular snow.( Ice coast) I've heard "kicking horse ski resort "BC is kind of an underdog it's an unbelievable ski resort but I heard they got bought out by somebody so their rates might have jacked up but I heard they got really amazing bowls and it's not as busy I ride that Donex twin and this thing needs to be in wide open spaces our runs here are pretty narrow. I've been to Sunshine but that was a long-ass time ago I was in my teens. A friend of mine went to kicking horse BC which is kind of near sunshine he said he had to stop 4 times it's that long of a ski hill. It has tons of awful views like Ryan always says haha
Ryan Klug
Awful views! Haha
I’ve never been easy but I have heard that the snow is not as good. I’m from Houston so I’ve been to NM and CO to ride. I saw some Japan riding on TH-cam last year which earned a spot on the bucket list.
Looking very forward to Awful views at Breck soon wooooo
@@T25de yes if you ever get a chance to travel to Canada Whistler/ golden / kicking horse for example it is absolutely world-class snowboard they're having tons of snow this year to lots of powder but yes I've heard that about Japan to my cousin lives in Japan and some of the pictures he shows me ,wow I'm going to head out to BC this year I think with the girlfriend and take a trip we have to choose between the Caribbean and western Canada I chose a snowboarding trip LOL Colorado will be on my list too I'm almost 40 so I want to hit him up while I'm still in good shape
Love all your videos Ryan.
Thanks Ryan! Always perfect content!
Your the best guy for carving
Thanks this helped so much. I was always trying to carve s turns down steep slopes and could never quite do it....
Awesome! :-) You can see how you need to be gentle with your edge pressure and kinda "wait" for the board to turn to carve on steeps.
Hi Ryan, loving your channel and riding but it would be great if you could do some features from other resorts such as Jackson hole or whistler blackcomb where the terrain is steeper and the trails narrower.
Watching this video before 2020 season start :)
How you can be so confident in so edge turns on snow with so much ice on it, especially on that steep terrain? Some magic happening here.
100k subs coming soon you deserve it!
I missed a notification wtf! Hahahaha
More steeps!!! I just watched the old one earlier!
Nice!!!
Wow... Huge bum slide. But tat perfectly groomed piste helped the slide. I've come a cropper like that a few times on churned up end of day piste.. Ouch. Pausing your videos when you are riding have some epic stills in your videos. Random ski... Haha
BANGER TURNS BRAH! What’s the secret to dealing with the front leg chatter on a heal side turn when the snow gets cruddy?
CaptainVonAwesome two things: highback support by adding forward lean to your rear binding( I run 120% on my back highback to all my hips to rotate to the front and still get support) The other thing is my K2 Carvair has to much sidecut 7.8 for me unless I’m 100% perfect form and not tired. My other board has 9 meter side cut and settles into the heel turn with much less effort.
Pete Jacobs thanks man! I’ll try that. Seems counterintuitive to me since sharpening both high-backs last time I rode felt wonky. It was prolly cause I need to adjust my hips and knees for the change... I guess your point is: the edge hold post apex should be more focused on the back leg, not the front?
Right on man, great video.
Thank you!
Having been snowboarding only about about a dozen times I've gotten to the point to where I can make those big turns and leave somewhat of a single pencil lines in the middle of the "c" turns BUT it seems I'm the only boarder out there doing it unless they're getting a lesson. Also, for me, since I'm getting the deceleration at the point of heading back up the hill it seems a bit less fun than shortening up the turn and having more speed while still staying in control. So the questions are: 1. what is the purpose of carving those big turns (other than the obvious speed control reasoning) 2. is my desire for a bit more speed than those big carving turns provide just stupidity? As always, Ryan, thanks for your videos. I've watched more videos of yours than number of times snowboarding.
I think it is just a matter of personal preference. I like precision of well formed turns, both on a snowboard and skis. I don't particularly like reduced degree of control when going very fast.
@@PaulJurczak I appreciate your comment. Looking at video of my runs today I have to admit that my previous comment "I can make those big turns and leave somewhat of a single pencil lines [sic]" was a bit of stretch. lol I have a lot of work to do!! Headed back up early as possible Sunday morning to try and beat the crowd.
So after riding today and realizing I'm not the prodigy I thought I was I went back to the basics and started re-watching the "How To Really Really Really Carve" series by Ryan and he answers my question within the first 15 second of volume 1....lol
@@williamthemtbbeginner It takes time and practice. I thought I had the basic carving covered after my first 10 hours on snowboard, but it really took couple hundred hours more to get foundations right. Ryan's tutorials were indispensable. I just started working on laying it down really low.
Ryan, Could you make a video with tips how to ride on hardpack&moguls and partially icy steep terrain? Riding on well prepared slope is quite easy :P
Great tips. Never thought of decelerating back up for some reason.
sometimes carving on steeper hills seems impossible, not only because of the speed but also because the G forces on those turns are unbearable and your whole body gets pushed down. You would need tremendously strong legs almost body-building level legs to make a tight turn on a steep slope hahha. When you think about it on a physics level, on a flatter slope your weight and the acceleration of the turn get compensated so that the resulting force vector tries to push you sideways. But on a steep hill, the angle between the weight vector and the turn force is smaller so you get pushed downwards.
there is also less grip with the edge, so you tend to slip more and destroy your ankles.
Guess it’s time for you to stop skipping leg day and get some legs then! 😏
thats why we squat, only bw with barbell is achievable
can you carve on icy patch on the ground. how do you recognize the snow condition which you can carve instead of skid?
great video
"thhh this is weird" 🤣 i hope this ski found his owner :s
Btw nice video's
1:38...priceless!!!
Great tips Ryan! Would a board with a much smaller sidecut radius (say 8m) help with losing speed while carving on steep terrain? Getting you to decelerating part of the C turn much quicker? For example, when you are doing these quick turns at 6:35, perhaps they could be closer to a full C with a small radius. There are trade offs though, it would probably be tiring as hell doing a million of small turns and make carving on mellow terrain (especially laid out carves) much less enjoyable. (Going to rewatch your sidecut vid)
I guess knowing theory and applying to real situation is two different things. For me, it's still hard to control speed without sliding. But that's ok I still have 13 years to practice to be able to do like you do or close. xD Anyways, thanks for the tip. I will try to apply it next time on the mountain.
Ryan - awesome video and tips as always. If you get the chance, can you have one of your friends (if you have not done so) record you holding the camera for the angles you get? They are Crisp and very Nice. Just wondering how far the stick have to be positioned and maybe the video setup on the GoPro? Thank you my friend. :)
Good idea!
water flows less fluid than you mate.....joy to watch
😀🤘. Thanks Man. Happy shreddin'!
Thank you for the Tipps!
The problem is, its only possible to carve like this on these freshly prepared tracks like you have. Over here in Austria, tracks look like bombed after half an hour.
Awesome advice Ryan. I tend to fall on my butt when I work on my backside carve. I start them early, I gain speed when I’m in the direction of the slope and don’t manage to turn cause I end up falling on my butt because of too much lean i guess. But I feel like this lean is necessary to really put the board and edge with pressure so I fell stuck. I’m sure it’s common to feel that, what advice would you give me ?
Bests regards from France
Slower usually helps keep too much forces being applied to the point where the carve blows out. Adding in a speed check mid turn then re-engage the edge. ✅. Advanced version, hook the previous turn up the hill a bit.
@@RyanKnapton thanks man ! you're a gem
Finding that little "gem" about half way through got me thinking... what the weirdest things you've found on the slopes?
You should get the “awful” view of the year award, haha
The mountain I ride has many steep blue runs and I have been trying to carve back up the hill just like you suggest. It is difficult for sure. I am still getting my legs stronger and used to squatting on the heel side. It is super fun learning and improving.
What are your tips for holding that edge and picking the limits of how hard you lean/ turn? With good groomers, it is amazing how hard you can carve.
Slower the easier that's for sure.
Nice tips. You say it's extremely dangerous to practice this. Because you can get collected by downhill loony's? I thought this kind of riding should be predictable and acceptable anywhere right?
Should be. Reality is a different story. Lots of people bomb straight down the run and don't anticipate riders to actually be able to make a carved turn.
can u make a video about the knee movement and weight shifting?
im struggling a little with keeping up the pressure. Tho i know my board might be a little too soft but i think improving my movement would also help me :D
Sweet. Great Advice as always. Qalpa'
Ya!!!!
What kind of board is that? It looks super stiff and crazy torsional rigidity. Please tell us about it. ;) I know, I know....it’s not the car it’s the driver. You shred dude. :)
Do you have any tips for carving steeper runs like those, but much narrower? We don’t have many wide runs in Arizona.
Ryan I was just wondering do you "detune" your board? I rode the knapton twin for the first time today and holy cow ! What an aggressive board! Just cuts through the rough stuff and holds an amazing edge but a little too edgy at times. Just wondering if you detune the board.
Thanks
Your stance looks wide. Tell us about that stance width and how we should set ours up to carve like you. I think my stance may be too narrow. That said I do see you ride duck foot. How many degrees of duckiness do you ride. Can you also tell us about the forward lean? What is ideal for various boot stiffness so we can carve like you.
Where is this place?? I've never seen such a wide terrain 🤩
Great tips as always! I'm your Russian fan!
Ryan, please, could you break down in detail those "speed checks" technique?
I mean when you do front/back side carve and fast skidded movement in the middle (for speed control) and switch back to the carve.
For me personally it's hard to do this back and forth switch, so when i realize that my speed is too high, i just stop carving and move to skidded turn till the end of the turn.
Thanks a lot for what you do and inspire others! Qapla'))

So you squat low with a straight back for heal carving. What about toe carving ? Do you squat the same and use the toe edge or do you buckled your knees down or forward. Thanks for clarifying it.
you da man bro!
I’m new to your station what kind of board do you recommend for the butter carving stuff.
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for this interesting video, which probably will solved some of my issues I have. The terrain I have normaly available are slopes of basically the full range of Red up to Black slopes of 70%.
The issue I facing is that I getting very quickly exhausted with my Donek 164x30.5. Most of the time an energy I spend, as you describe in your video, is decelerating at the end of the turn. I believe now that is the reason why I getting tired so quickly. I would be interested if you could tell me, the difference of energy you spend when carving on a Green vs a steeper Blue slope?
Thanks
Gerard
On flatter terrain, I'm hardly working at all, just tilting the board from edge to edge and letting it happen, but yeah on steeper, I'm for sure working way harder to not get going too fast. I have a crash vid coming up in a couple of days... And they are all cuz of me going too fast on a steeper pitch.
