This is a classic . I don't know how many times I've watched this, and I'm sure I'm not alone. This and the RK vid are just brilliant.
That was an insane day!! Can't wait to shred with you again, Ryan. It's always a pleasure and I learn a ton. I've got some ideas on some new combos to try this winter, and I"m looking forward to some more sessions. The edit came out sweet- nice work!
Posted that to quickly. The tutorials are great but please keep the longer vids going. You're good at this Ryan and you need to keep us all inspired. I was stopped on a run in Scotland and asked if I had been leading from you. Such a compliment.
Dope man, reminded me why snowboarding's so great
Watching Knapton's movies always takes an hour, even though the video itself only lasts less than five minutes - "Gee, how the fuck did he do that?"
The shot at 1:56 - 2:40 was sick! Not the biggest carves you've ever done or the most technical butters but you mixed them so perfectly into a long run I thought it was the most impressive part. Can't wait to see what you come up with this winter! Hope to see more of Giri too!
This video is therapeutic for me! Love it!
Sick shredz and sick songs. Def gonna need to add those to my Snowboarding playlist. Getting me hyped for the upcoming season!!!
Ryan your style is so heavy dude. My favourite video this far and you're one of my favourite snowboarders. I'm definitely sharing this one
Really enjoy this video. The best ever.
Ryan that's sick dude! Very neat carves!
Can't wait for the season!
Amazing riding and the stabilization is insane.
Great video, just what I needed today. Good to have another rider in there, very different approach but still committed to ridiculous edge control
It must be a cool feeling to go to a mountain and know that you're the best rider there. Literally jaw dropping.
Superbe riding and fantastic image quality ! Kudo Ryan !
Skier here. Love your videos man. Love the buttery turns.
+Andy Beckwith Thanks. Skiers on the mtn have come up to me and said 'I love your turns!' or something to that effect quite a few times.. and I always tell them that it's even cooler for me when skiers appreciate how I ride. Thanks and happy skiing.
Dig your style man. So fluid
Great video, awesome style, Perfect tricks :)
I made a pizza for Giri today "Half chzz/ Half pepp" :D Didn't know he was a shred bot until I saw this video on my feed. Keep up the awesome work fellas!!
I've always been a skier, but dayum! I might give it a try next year.
Już tęsknię za śniegiem :) , ładne wideo ;-)
Another person doing a version of the heel side euro carve!!! :D Awesome to see! wish I could shred with you guys, I'd learn a lot!!
cleanest technique i have ever seen...impressing!
Freerideftw
Its a technique/tactic, and he shows he can revert to neutral at will. By rotating his hips open to the front of the board he gets deeper into his knee bend without hanging his mass outside the working edge. It also gives a ton of front foot control allowing him to initiate his edge quicker. You see it in a lot of people who spend a lot of time at warp speed. It becomes mandatory at times if you want to carve on harder snow, higher speeds and higher edge angles. Dude looked pretty balanced on the features. I think he is as he "should be" ... as long as he knows when its a detriment and flips the switch. He shows he can do that.
put the playback speed to 0.25 and start watching at 2:46. He goes through the boxes with his hips parallel to the board, when he bends his knees they point perpendicular to his edge. He doesn't need or want high edge angle and his stance shows it. At 3:06 it cuts to a carving clip and his hips are rotated and opened toward the nose a little. Instead of perpendicular, his knee bend tucks under his body toward the nose. Switch flipped. Dudes got skills.
my inspiration right here!
Joel Cedric check out my videos let me know what you think 👌🏽🍺
so pumped now
the gimbal is so smooth
Best technique I've seen bar none. This is how all soft boot carvers should be aiming to ride. You're doing a great job for Donek Ryan. I just received my custom, wide waisted Inclne a couple of weeks ago. Can't wait to try it out in Japan in January. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks. :) What specs on the Incline did you get?
Ryan Knapton 160 with a 30 cm waist. Looks pretty wide but I've got big feet and reckon I can handle it. So sick of booting out this season. Also widened up my stance heaps. I'll let you know how it turns out :)
This video is dope asf . Hopefully I'll learn how to snowboard as good as you guys one day
You're back!!. The king of carving
This was so awesome. Your riding is so smooth man! So sad that the season is over here in Australia.. Would love to go somewhere with proper powder.
your style awesome!
Thats great!
The King
The long continuous shot starting at 1:56 is one of the best examples of buttering I've ever seen - smooth flow from one to the next and lots of hard carve turns that we all love mixed in. You're putting that new gimbal (I assume it's on a gimbal) to excellent use!
ThankYOU art&bold do Love
I work with giri here at copper as an instructor, he's told me some stories of your times riding together.
Love the music from 6min on...
Only thing I hate about Ryan is how smooth he is! No waisted movements with really playfull positioning just makes you look amazing! How long have you been snowboarding for? Do you do anything in the summer to keep your skills sharp?
Rad AF so good
Great video Ryan. Now this is another example of you looking 10 times cooler than other duded doing the same tricks. How's that possible? Is it the weight, clothes, stance? Anyway GJ on the shots
a bay opening up soon, boy.
4:23 now that is a proper nose press!
hey ryan i love your snowboarding. its really inspiring. one question. when you sharpen your edges do you make the part where the ose and tail start going up rounder or do you just sharpen it through the end if you know what i mean?
another smooth and style vid!
do you ride camber or rocker?
Ryan, I just ordered Donek 160cm twin. Sean said its very similar to your spec but mine is little softer. I was wondering if you have any recommendation on bindings and boots? I am currently using 2014 Burton Malavita binding and 2014 Nike Kaiju Boots. I cant wait to receive this board and go out there and practice!
Always thank you for your amazing videos!
Ryan. Send me an electronic snowboarding playlist.
do ride throughout the day or do you mostly just ride in the morning? ... I ask cause in a lot of videos everything is still well groomed...
I ride as much as I can. Somedays its the entire day, most days are for the first half of the day. But for filming, it gets tougher when it gets busy and doesn't look as good with a bunch of people in the background... so if I do film anything, usually its of the first couple runs of the day.
The Nomadic Explorer check out my videos let me know what you think👌🏽🍺
What camera did you use? This is an awesome video!
it is possible to learn the characteristics of your snowboard?
Hi, Ryan. Awesome as always!
Can you explain jump at 5:15. Or may be Giri will:) It looks like popup and spin were unexpected even for him. Thanks!
Thanks. FS noseroll nollie 540. I have a tutorial for the 360 version... so basically this plus just some extra wind up to make the bigger spin. ruclips.net/video/bTGUwXBHJQc/видео.html
Thanks, bro! Waiting for snow to try and more videos in your channel.
Have u ever used a carving/race board

Hey Ryan nice video! it all looks super smooth. just have a few questions, what camera do you use for filming and what editing software do you use? thanks.
Thanks. Camera is a gopro hero 4 with using a Zhiyun gimbal. For editing I use Corel Video Studio 8. It's decent for the price.
Are the trails blue or black diamond, the slope doesnt look too steep from the angle of the videos
I'm 220 and 6,5" tall, and about to buy my first board..I am a close to decent snowboarder with a few years experience. I'm not really into freestyling, but just like to hit small jumps on the slopes and carve down te montain.
What size and type board would you recommend?
+Guido B in general I recommend you trying as many boards as you can and it'll help you to know certain aspects you do and don't like with each. In general I really prefer camber. Based on your height I'd assume you have large feet so I would try sticking to wide boards so your toes and heels don't dig into the snow when you carve. Try a bunch and try to make it to some demos and test numerous boards in a day if you can. Happy shredding!
Bet board wax is one of the things you dont have to buy :D Just diamond coated edges
This is smoooth.. what type of board did you use?
We are both on Donek Twins. Mine (yellow jacket) is a stiffer and wider version. Giri's is more of the normal specs, but I forget which length and such.
Sound name???? PLZ TY
Ryan how do you setup your bindings mate? Angle ?
Gnarly Sheen yeah totally agree. Looking at the video again, his stance is super wide ! And like you said he's frequently switching regular n goofy so it must be 10-10 or 15-15..
thanks
preddy lines
Wonder what Ryan's weight is? His style makes it looks like it benefits to have an extra few pounds.
Epic groomer carves
How long have you been snowboarding?
30 years...
шазамните трек плиз! 5:39
Did you get sponsored by Donek?
Sean (the owner) built me a board to the exact specs I was wanting.... and it took my own riding to the Next Level... so since then I've been promoting their brand and their custom manufacturing the best I can (cuz I truly believe it's a better way to buy a snowboard), and have even gotten to travel with em some and help out at demos... so we definitely have a great relationship. Do I get free boards, and to test out any boards I want... YUP! :D We don't have any contracts or anything so it's different than 'sponsors' I've had in the past. But yeah, I definitely want to do a lot more with them in the future! :D
Hello from Russia, tell me what board on which Ryan ?
and hardness and its weight)))) thank you
It's a 160cm Donek Custom Twin . Very wide, 30.5cm in the waist and 8.7m sidecut radius. Here's his video about it: watch?v=5aLgfe1DCL0
Great jobs guys. But Giri, your knees should be more apart. Better control forward/backward , more stability.
dude shut up you twonk, giving advise that he clearly doesnt need. its his style of riding, its a downhill skateboarding type style and its cool as fuck.
RobinHoodUKIP you could stay polite. To explain, i'm snowboarding since 1986, and teaching it since 1994. So i think i'm quite able to analyse riding style. It's not a big criticize, just a technical correction.Have you look at my videos ?
And by the way, i have not see many videos of you snowboarding....
RÉPONDRE
twonk is a light hearted form of joshing.
he doesnt need teaching.
RobinHoodUKIP you should just go on the snow...i guess you don't have many ideas of the skills for snowboarding well.

On a work conference call... decide to watch some old Knapton posts with sound off to idle time away and...
SHIT!
THERE'S NEW KNAPTON!
Hehee.
The problem with Ryan is that he makes everything look so easy, it's not impressive anymore... jk you're awesome!
Hi Rayn. I love this video. Getting that "boner" to start snowboarding agian. It's been lost for a long time :/ I was wondering... Do you have any experience with flying V shaped boards and how they affect your type of riding/carving? Thanks for the inspiration man :D
