[@TedsHoldOver]

Humble request: A detailed video on those exquisite butter helicopters - please. 🙏

[@RyanKnapton]

Can do!

[@coleboychuck500]

Looking forward to that vid. I can only do mine one direction and idk how he does it with a nose grab haha

[@burakurgancoglu6908]

Please do!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yooo

[@soundlyadam]

Yes! Would love that

[@RyanKnapton]

I skipped "N" and "O"for now as I want to feature Tommie Bennett and Giri Watts specifically for those but our schedules haven't lined up yet. Other than the patience I talked about in this vid...Give yourself plenty of patience leaning to carve. It kind of can take a minute to learn to some extent, but perhaps a lifetime to master. That's the fun part though. :). Happy and safe shredding all!

[@1ajw23]

Tommie is the legend! Very underrated snowboarding KZbinr, he spreads so much detailed knowledge!

[@ellstackeradventures]

Yewww

[@mpp9964]

I could watch big airs, twists, spins, backflips, side hits, whatever... but instead time and time again I just want to watch this fluid masterclass on snowboarding flow. Absolutely inspiring riding style.

[@HeavenDog]

My Sensei is Back!!

[@puckoberto]

Sensei Ryan of carv dojo!

[@sketchyson]

This cracked the code in my brain!! I've always been focused on the S shape in the carve, not the circles they outline. I can actually see the circles on the run now! ~Feeling Enlightened.~ Thank you Knapton!

[@scottishcarver66]

30seconds the heel edge hero arrives with impeccable timing lol

[@T25de]

Kristen looking smooth!! Thanks for sharing ! Q’apla’!!!

[@Patrick.Sanchez]

The feeling in the middle of a carve of the whole edge makes perfect sense!

[@juncolladotv]

I am a beginner snowboarer and I was inspired by your tutorial,thank you!...

[@-xj9cw]

Thanks for sayin hi on the mountain today! Watching you carve in person is spectacular

[@andrew.storriemclean403]

We all locked down here in the uk. So no boarding for us by the looks this season but what a joy to watch your good self👍😁🏂

[@heychaz]

0:21 "That's what most snowboarders do…" Literally right behind him the run getting plowed… too perfect 🤣

[@PK3DCGA]

Honestly you have such a nice style. Effortlessly smooth.

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Those layed out Heelside Carves are sooo NASTY!!! Gotta get me a wider board. This edit is crispy!

[@johnlinn5929]

Those are some beautiful turns Ryan. Like your 9th grade science teacher, I hardly ever see snowboarders carving like this, and appreciate seeing it done right, and your sharing it with your audience.

[@jawsmod]

Nice meeting you on the top of Beaver Run on Tuesday. Thanks for the selfie. The Man the Myth the Legend!

[@shredeverything8084]

The big three things I teach are Patience, Commitment, and Fun! I literally on a whim today decided to have a student try linking turns with their hands behind their back as a way to push one's hips to the snow on toe edge, how serendipitous you post this on the same day. Inspired riding as always I'm going to picture that heel side when I'm carving!

[@Jon_Crawford]

Gotta be the best carver EVER!!!!!! Insane!!! Love your vids. Please keep them coming.

[@patthesoundguy]

back in the early to mid 90s a teacher in my my high school was the coach for the high school ski team and he used to get me to carve on my board to show the ski team how they should have been carving on their edges. He saw the value of snowboarding and that not all of us made the hill icy. I have always been looking for that carve ;-)

[@pbeadle02]

My Knapton Twin just came in, and i cannot wait to get it out!

[@jackG1207]

Happy shredding, have a great season!

[@thomasr1051]

Going to go later this week. Can't wait to feel the edge

[@boombop4278]

Went back to the first couple videos you uploaded...you were on a beast in the park and jumps

[@iohanvoit3020]

Pleasure to watch your fun and technical carving! Great thaks from Russia. We have a lot of fans of you!

[@strangefuture808]

You make it all look so easy Ryan! I love the big charge up for the heelside layouts! Great tiPs on this one and shout out to the little helpers on your diagram haha!

[@dengeleiford6821]

I’m watching your video while in a zoom meeting about Tax laws and I swear my coworkers knew something was up cause I had a smile and awed look on my face the whole time.

[@maceoshoots]

Recently got switch S carves dialled which has opened the door to so many more carving combos, next is getting the switch toe turn laid out. The advice is always appreciated!

[@jmnavarromd]

Wow, I saw you yesterday (1/6/2021). I really wish I would have said hello. I looked for you again. But I’m proud of myself because I learned switch today. It was my 5th day on a board (lesson included). Rode Colorado lift all the way down without falling, carving some and throwing some 180s, 360s, and 540s. It was nice. Last day tomorrow am. I’ve been inspired watching your videos.

[@bbrennan1550]

Been watching a lot of your videos, and your advice helped me get the nose roll 360 today at Breck! You've got the most precise technique I have ever seen, and even just studying your movements helps greatly.

[@1ajw23]

Excellent message Ryan! I will say though.. A lot of us are in groups and that really tests the patience concept.. It sucks being the intermediate rider trying to catch the others who are comfortable bombing a steep black diamond, because you're in danger by trying not to slow them down.. It also sucks waiting for the newbie who can't keep pace on Mello blue's or greens, because you can't get into the flow of a run.. It's unfortunate, but folks who can go solo during those sweet, sweet weekdays really have it the best... Thanks man!

[@EmanDeluxeVLOGS]

Your riding is so satisfying. Always 😌

[@DjalmaBorges]

Wise words and incredible flow 🙌

[@abetownneufeld6057]

Never gets old!!! Thanks Ryan:)

[@tavv2775]

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND WOOO!

[@andrewcrooks2906]

That Hulk Hogan snowboard action figure is real slick.

[@DKR-1881]

Thanks Ryan. These carving tips have helped me so much. Doing pretty well on the blues and the greens. Still have fear and hesitation on the steeps.

[@HauntedSheppard]

That melody gave me the art of flight feels

[@snowdirt62]

Video idea & total slope fun:. Scope out an obstacle on the slope, lift towers in near flat terrain are best!, and 360 carve around it in a perfect circle and keep on going 👍. Requires "patience" when the carve goes uphill 🧐. Hint #1:: dont carve too deep (or drag body parts) cause it makes drag. Hint #2: it only really counts if u go in smoking hot, 30-40 mph 😁. So much fun 🤗🤗🤗🤗. Remember, a perfect circle,, not just a decreasing radius tail carve 👍.

[@JohnnyBeGood123]

Wouldn't mind seeing some bystander reactions on you doing you're carving, some will not believe their eyes I can imagine :):)

[@rchouser123]

Hands down the most beautiful snowboarding I've ever seen. I need a Donek... I have size 14 feet and I need a 13in waist board and a moderate side cut for my feet not to drag. I desperately need a custom board to really get to the next level, but hey its rona-ing out there and I decided to go back to college for 2020 and now I can't freakin find a job. So no riding at all this season either! I hate my life. Yay! 😆😂😭🤮

[@Max_Snellink]

Your video's are next level indeed Ryan!! Subscribed, naturally

[@EwokyBalboa]

Love how you deliver your knowledge in your videos. In FL I don't get to exactly practice much and missed out on my trip last year :( but hopefully next month I'll be able to put some of your help to practice in my trip out to breck....and maybe even catch a glimpse of your carving in person

[@TCK71]

The Bruce Lee of snowboarding!

[@timpitcairn8021]

Awesome vid. Use to teach my daughter carving comparing to S turns. But like the circle better. Still love the uphill awareness from both you guys. Too many skiers and boarders alike just don’t look uphill. Thanks again Ryan, awesome work! And yeah, absolutely terrible views!

[@teddet7671]

IM DYING. literally in the beginning as you said, most riders skid down the mountain, that snowboarder was just heel slide right past the camera LMAO

[@rafiki1230]

I absolutely admire your style of riding. I really started to improve my carving since I watch your content but with only 7-10 days of snowboarding per year it really takes some time.. And this year I won't get a single day in the snow due to the Covid situation in germany :/

[@ellstackeradventures]

I needed this video thanks

[@jaozada]

I wonder how often you sharpen your edges to make such nice clean carving lines! awesome content always 🙌🙌🙌

[@RyanKnapton]

Generally colorado snow is pretty soft. But as soon as it gets icy and my edge can't scrape a fingernail easily, then I sharpen em up.

[@emilyvidd8631]

Very fun watching from this view instead of selfie stick

[@RyanKnapton]

Definitely much easier riding and feels better without a selfie stick too! For me it has a time and place cuz I often like to ride alone... But in general I'll try to get more shots like these as it shows what I'm doing a bit better IMO.

[@TheSkyyvod]

ever since i started watching couple years ago ive been paying attention to my carves and theyve imporved so much staying on that edge ty bro wish u the best 2021

[@Rilintar-live]

It's so bad that it's impossible to feel true carving before you have learned to carve. Because exactly these feelings we are looking for in our training.

[@doug8766]

Beautiful video all around 🤙 This will be snowboard Bible when you finish Z!

[@ryanzezeski1605]

Ryan, did you pay these people in the background? I'm dying over here. I love this edit. I know you like the good lighting and all but honestly the smooth carving with the snow coming down is pretty rad. Also Kristin's progression is coming along so nice, her transitions are so smooth, can tell she's picked up a lot of good habits riding next to you. I need to get my ass to Breck soon.

[@rockliftingcyclrower]

Ryan!! In my daydreams of snowboarding I have thought about you and how fun it was to ride together. How are you and your snowboarding craft? PM me your number. I am coming out late Feb!

Ryan is back!!!!! I can only ski but always wanted to ride snowboard (((

[@jpezman1]

Hey Ryan, first off id like to say I'm a big fan of your riding, i stumbled upon your channel a couple years ago and i was blown away by your style. I come from a surfing/carve skate boarding background where i think the concept is similar because you are turning on rails. The only problem is that a wave lasts less than 30 sec. and then your paddling out to find another, this looks epic because its like having a 10min or longer wave. Just moved to Idaho for Paramedic School and would love to really "Carve" without dealing with booting out and having such a small side cut radius i have to slow down too much to get a good big carve in. Im 6,2" and 220lbs, 11.5 boot, Im in the middle of placing an order for an Incline from Donek. Donek's web site recommended me with these specs 162cm L, 30.5cm waist, and i was thinking about asking for a 10m side cut radius. I want something in between with not too much chatter for the high speed carving. I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction, are these some proper specs i can work with? I want a board that i can grow into but also don't want to grow out of it after one or two seasons. Thanks Ryan for all your tutorials and sharing your vast wealth of pow knowledge! Kaplahhhh! haha

[@santanapadilla6990]

Definitely picking up the knapton sticka

[@skvoznik]

I'm your fan Ryan! Now I'm of same age and weight as yours, it's just left to learn carving and butter/flat like you do :)
