Ryan you should open a school - you'd be a great instructor and I'm sure would have tons of ppl lining up for it.

[@MJH211]

Lol 1:05 flat 720 fuckin insane. God created snowboarding for us but gave us Knapton to show us the way. Guy is the fuckin king.

[@chrischoi8616]

Sad. Everytime i watch your videos i go up the mountain feeling confident enough to do SOMETHING. And then at the top of the mountain i realize it just aint happening.

[@superdude1408]

+Chris Choi same here happend to me last year.. but this year i started to really really really carve and now these tricks got way easier.. still struggling with the hard stuff though:D

[@larryhoover718]

It's about falling man. just go for it

[@Badrobot1500]

I am no expert but I reckon you answered your own problem. Don't start at the top of the mountain. You need a nice mellow run to practise on first.

[@TatzkaTube]

Badrobot1500 In Finland The very top is the most gently part of a mountain and bottom the steepest

[@GiacintoMarcellino]

Chris Choi welcome to the club! See you on top!

[@searching4adventure85]

Last year, I finally got a glimpse of the legend in the flesh. The skill is even better in person.

[@Markmedina75]

I've seen several pros on the slopes, but Knapton would be my first choice.

[@surfdarockies]

I've been riding since 1980, one of the original Loveland Pass crew, and I have to say your edge control is nothing short of amazing! I'm hoping your videos will help an old dog learn new tricks.

[@RyanKnapton]

Shredding since 1980! That rocks. And thats whats rad about snowboarding... no matter how much you do it, there's always something more to try, and even just working towards the perfect carve is an endless pursuit. Happy shredding, and have a great season!

[@jessewilliams7164]

Human Being that's exactly what I did too! Haha He is fuckin amazing

[@PluT0NYum]

This anit no margarine, this is full fat butter!!

[@SeriouslyMikey]

A new season starts and more new amazing flat land tricks from you. Cant wait for more!

[@medicolas]

I was gonna say "we know it's winter fun time when the Knapy videos start showing up". It sure does make me smile watching this guy ride the way that I wish I could!! I'm ready for more also!

[@Eviscerate86]

Almost broke my rib trying to do this.. Respect mate you are the best. Been trying to mimic your moves for 2 years and it is not happening...

[@nikitasichov5390]

well its been another 2 years you got it down yet?

[@thedeep1444]

Nikita Sichov lmao

[@Asdf7659sgh]

3 years now, any updates?

[@alexjones9390]

6 year now u good dog?

[@benolt123]

learning to ride like you is basically my snowboarding goal haha ! realy loving your vids

[@69Applekrate]

This guy is my hero. I thought I had more fun on my board than anyone- no more. this guy is an inspiration. Not sure if I could ever ride like this but, I would like to in some capacity. am working on my switch and spin riding. Just great snowboarding in this video and on his channel

[@JLBoxing]

the 720 at 1:11 and the half cab at 1:21 so sic! I've been learning from your videos since 2012 and have progressed so much! thanks for sharing and very inspiring please don't stop making your videos! would love to cruise the mountain with you if I ever got the chance!

[@bkyuwol6617]

what makes his tricks so special is ; he land with edge which make the tricks super clean and tidy

[@mertvak]

every couple of months i come back to this video, very well filmed!

[@ronseibel9238]

he can easily do some 720s over little bumps...i think he would be able to land something like a 3600 on a huge jump :D

[@davidturfrijer701]

Ron Seibel 3600 LOL 😂 that's a good one

[@pressdesign]

Ron Seibel 36000 like a boss ;)

[@dmshanks1]

Now that's beautiful. Poetry in motion. Such amazing skill.

[@spindrift2009]

Could always carve perfectly, but finally started doing noserolls and 180s from all directions (at age 47), thx to this inspiring video.... (now onto 3s). The secret is to just ride switch....again and again and again. Basically learn to snowboard all over again....not fun at first, and then it gets fun!!!

[@Lalgaru]

Rob, I m 47, soon to be 48...I started boarding at 40 yrs old. I absolutely love it. I m intermediate level and can only board goofy...I m scared to go regular...anyway, watching Ryan is inspiring...Happy Shredding...

[@dajudge1969]

you have some great balance and edge control. very few riders have mastered the craft as well as you have. I like to think I am a very good rider myself, but you are an inspiration to my continuous improvement. I am on a custom X. I need to slow down and get back to playing around. spend most of my days power riding and driving my edges in deep, smooth and with style. I watched some of your videos last season and started messing around with my pops of the front and back edges. Thanks for the videos, keep riding!

[@blancadesigns]

Wow, your moves are so animated yet controlled, you look like a video game character going down the mountain! Can't wait to get to this level!

[@luma9007]

This has to be the most calming and inspirative video out there. Well done.

[@alessandrodrjack]

truly ridiculous, so clean lines..You are the definition of snowboard!

[@hugo117]

pffff and I thought I was amazing when I learned to ride switch for 5 seconds without eating snow... Awesome video man! Really inspires me to keep going and become a pro Mexican snowboarder! lol

[@FeliciaFollum]

I think I watched this 4 times tonight...So fun to watch!!

[@martinto8]

You make it look too easy! Mad skills!

[@spindrift2009]

Flatground 5 at 1:13. Totally mint.

[@user-vn9js9yn1j]

Thats obv 7 bud

[@Txgrr]

Dude this is insane! I'm definitely trying to get my carving and butters down. Great job!

[@nlomas]

You do us all a disservice by making it look so easy and effortless! Awesome video and skills

[@jirihajek693]

I am 63 yers old and I must learn it :-)

[@user-vn9js9yn1j]

Do it !!

[@VovaAlyabiev]

I'm 42 & the same, bro!

[@eyeofthedon]

1:11 actually got a vocal reaction out of me like phwaaaa! hahaha. amazing video!!

[@parox75ita]

Hi ryan...you are fantastic...your movments are so fluid that's a pleasure to see you. I love snowbording and every year i try to learn new tricks from your videos. I would like to able to do the rotation front and back...but i have to try a lot...bye from an italian fan .

[@Ru43210]

Hey Ryan, thank you for sharing your videos, it is really awesome to see how easy and smooth you perform those tricks. All the time I see the way you ride it amazes me and makes me want to go to the slope and practice more. Even thou I never enjoyed doing tricks, I prefer riding on the high speed. But you inspire me to change my mind :). Keep it going, love your channel. R.

[@RyanKnapton]

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm stoked the vids inspire you to try some new stuff on the slope! :) Hope you have a great season.

[@munimutt]

Thanks for keeping me on my toes bro! Got my front rolls to cab back already! Hope to see you out there someday before we

[@scottpetrie8707]

You are a bad,bad man. Keep rocking that shit out!

[@Discostar12]

Nice little vignette as always. I'm inspired to ride... Now all I need is some snow.

[@Benneter1]

holy shit you are a beast. so awesome. love it to watch your videos.

[@johnkidd3]

I’ve been watching all of your videos and it’s made me try and push myself to improve my riding, all your tip videos are great! Hope to get to even half your level of edge control sometime soon

[@clublulu399]

My fucking idol. Your riding is something I’ve never seen. Truly an inspiration.

[@1031monlin]

Amazing! So fluid and controlled!

[@Synapse__]

I feel goosebumps) Although, I knew this video a few years ago. Feeling goosebumps means that brain visually or aurally percepts some new experience (never similar before) that vibrates to person's beliefs and expanding his consciousness about the existing world! Just wow...

[@alexorjik4090]

Ryan, GREAT RESPECT from Russian boarders! You have your own style!!! keep it!!!

[@ErnestoGluecksmann]

Wow. Ryan, these are your best edits. Inspirational.

[@vilramos]

This video is awesome. I love the nose rolls and tail rolls and the spins. Some of them look like they are in slow motion, but am not sure, because you are so smooth. Thanks for sharing and helping us see what is possible with a board.

[@MC-tm2uy]

ryan...I started watching your channel for tips and taking some private lessons and it really helped me improve a lot. thanks much for making all the vids. subbed

[@RyanKnapton]

+Minh Chau thanks. And indeed your instructor may reach you different techniques that are substantially different than mine... Learn and absorb all you can and work on them by yourself and take all the best parts to make your own best riding. Happy Shredding!

[@misscula]

Im so happy to meet you dear Ryan after ur videos i keep trying hard day by day u changed my whole imagination about board thanks happy shredding

[@teknology01]

Mad style! Keep them coming

[@PetrPolach]

Amazing skill!!! You are superb, gret motivation!

[@darksidecarnival5385]

Dude!!!!! You stoke me!!! I love your videos and you make it look like an f'ing blast!! Thanks for the vids

[@RyanKnapton]

+darksidecarnival :) Thanks. Seeing "tumbs up" is cool. But to see comments of really stoking people out to go shred and try new stuff... that stokes me out. So thanks. Happy Shredding man!

[@BreauxBobby]

I liked the video before I even saw it because I knew it would be amazing.

[@bizz2004]

So much style very solid sick riding

[@alberttoma7054]

Dude i can watch this video 100 times and still be amazed. Epic spinning and control! wish I had someone that good to ride with and learn some shit.

[@doubleight880]

I love this riding style.

[@wilko3034]

Thanks Ryan , keep the slo-mo's coming They're really useful

[@GuitarSurfSkate]

One of the nicest styles i've seen on youtube!! so buttery

[@gorrellykid]

Was that CGI at 1:11 ? :) Ace stuff Ryan thanks, really gets our appetites going for the season .

[@medicolas]

Well, I'm another year older and Ryan is still the man!

[@T25de]

This is the Jam!

[@Nappquest]

Everytime I watch this the more I'm thankful that I get to ride with giri and bo and after this past season my riding ability is showing impressive growth. Maybe this coming up winter I'll see you here at copper mountain.

[@marone83]

You are awesome, Sir!

[@pierrea4909]

Best Video I've seen in awhile. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME

[@martykasa7864]

The drone shots are money!

[@NiTrOx]

Ryan i agree with Andrey Sharing man. You have good instructional skills and should start a school. Thank you for sharing. Learnt from you my friend.

[@JulianSAirstriker]

So smoooooth. Love your style!

[@aswathmg]

Man!!!! I have become your fan!!! :d That's zuper awesome!!

[@alexxela754]

Those knuckle 720’s are insane. They taste so sweet🤩

[@sarmadkhan9293]

you have some great snowboarding skills fam.. amazing video!

[@MrSandieman666]

Holy shit man, that was sick to watch, nice speed!! ;-)

[@CoreyBornmann56]

Looking good my man...

[@RandySnarsh]

That 540 looks so smooth. 0:01 I am so jelly.

[@zackzeller1603]

Shout out to your cameraman. He is killing it with those reactive close ups! Ryan for Presidente!

[@20reb24]

외쿡엔 저런 드넓은 스키장이 있다는 게 참 부럽~ ㄷㄷㄷ

[@Manubkny]

While watching this video I didn't detect any dogshit.

[@iamNathanGreen]

Bro this makes my snowboard video not even worth watching ... 😅. But next season I'll work on my carves, because of you

[@dannynguyen7287]

thank you for your video Ryan good work !!!!!

[@onlyridersnowboardacademy868]

Nice control of different pop and power slide 👊🏼🏂I like it

[@dedelabinouze5110]

720 on a very mellow roller. Alright then.

[@85blueberry]

Pretty sick dude ! Thumbs up !

[@kw2519]

Why do I feel like homeboy did some dance classes in his youth or his sisters did ballet. Because I’m seeing some impressive dance movement.

[@bloodjr0011]

i love the falcon run at breakinridge!

[@IdeasAboveStation]

Those nollie 7's are sick! Tidy

[@blicharsky1052]

You do anything to your board edges? Are they blunted? Or you just use your body positioning to keep you straight? Great videos tho. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Poland! ;)

[@RyanKnapton]

+Husaritivity I detune a little around the nose and tail, and keep the rest real sharp with 90 degree edges.

[@SchneckenTrinkenFanta]

0:56 wow I did that today but forgot how. Watching with 0.25 speed to see the weight and stuff. I started with board this season first time. But I love watch your shreds and try that shit by my own! Great =D

[@riotkiller27]

That was dope, and God bless you mate

[@maxmorgan9161]

Just stumbled across this video. It was beautiful. Also, wtf you just nollie 7 like it's nothing. This season I finally managed to do a 3 on a flat and thought I was pretty good. Much to learn I still have. Great vid.

[@RyanKnapton]

+Max Morgan Thanks! Happy Shredding Max!

[@contraversialmusic]

Ryan, you are sick. Mad props. How the fuck do you get so many rotations which such little air?? Cleanest butters I've ever seen.

[@alexmartineau1060]

its the magic of edge controll once you get it you understand the amount of power you can put into a twist.

[@z3german]

Sick as always brother! I know what im practicing this season

[@marvtheandroid]

those flat 720s are blowing my mind dude. Goals for this season

[@chimaera41]

My new Superman.

[@wardypoos]

You are the EDGE! (much better than the U2 one)

[@user-vp7zy8zk8b]

Я могу смотреть на твои трюки вечно)

[@rounick28]

I would definitely watch very carefully a vid of yours concerning edge tuning.

[@maxagro4876]

I'll second that!

[@wrinkle66]

Nice buttering. Waiting to try my Rome Artifact Rocker....

[@JulitoPapitoo]

Rode mine about 3 times last season and really liked it! Its so much fun to ride with plenty of all mountain potential.

[@itssugarfree]

that was awesome... now I feel inspired!!

[@humpmasterflex22]

After riding one season i feel pretty confident, then i tried riding switch and my ass is so sore lol. I see this and i'm like "all i want is to get used to riding switch, i dont even need to do any of this fancy shit" lol

[@spindrift2009]

+RR racer just use some moto hip/back armor. That's what I do. (But unfortunately my big issue is the whiplash effect when catching the heel-edge, which at high speed is a very very very bad thing. I've had so many surf/snowboard/soccer whiplash type falls and collisions, that my poor neck has arthritis and bone spurs on a few of the vertebra (shown by X-ray and MRI). sad......

[@Quaaludio]

Thanks for all the help. Your videos are really progressing my riding. I was wondering what kind of jacket that is?

[@RyanKnapton]

It's a foursquare jacket from a couple years ago. I'm gone for the weekend so cant check what model right now.

[@reynesjean-michel5969]

Incredible!

[@Changeworld408]

I envy you, this is what I would love to be doing (50 yr old snowboarder dude) I almost cried seeing you do these tricks and ride like that. I compare this to Michael Jackson dancing(also makes me cry)

[@floater156]

1:21 love the nollie bs 180

[@danhentes8569]

idol. i have an exam tomorrow. and what am i doing? i am getting hyped in my room while watching ryan knapton's videos. i saw on comment section that you were shredding on a Custom with camber and now you have a Donek twin. can you give me some reasons why did you choose a camber board and why didn't you choose a rocker board, regarding your riding style (high speed, carving and buttering). thanks in advance! keep the ridiculousness flowing!

[@SilicaPicks]

very good buttering but give credit where credit is due. most slopes and snow conditions are not this ideal you hit up a dank spot! props to the mountain ops wherever it is great snow great 'roy

[@darrendix5163]

The butter MASTER! You RIP, bro!
