Insta360 One X2 Snowboarding Footage and Review.

[@searching4adventure85]

I've been wondering for years if I'd ever see you shredding at Breck. Today I saw this guy out ahead of me on Peak 9 with the smoothest carves I have ever witnessed. It just looked unreal, and I thought, "geeze someone out here is mimicking Ryan's technique." I quickly realized it was you in your standard blue and Grey colors. I tried to carve over your lines and simply became more impressed. Bro, your skills are even better witnessed in person. I would have given you a high five at Beaver Run but I had a slower friend from out of town that I didn't want to ditch. Keep shredding my man.

[@BruceLeef]

Carving that snow like butter... wow...

[@nvrluki7608]

Bought this a few months back. It’s an awesome camera. I’ve been using it for snowboarding, diving and even long exposure shots of the Milky Way.

[@nvrluki7608]

Would also suggest you get the gps remote for easier filming.

Hey Ryan! I would love to see some videos that truly emphasize how much your specific board helps you by demonstrating other boards the same way you ride your twin. Essentially do a video or multiple videos riding the other types of snowboard cambers, shapes, flexibility and sidecuts while attempting your laid out carves the way you normally ride and describe how a small side cut, lighter weight, rocker profile, or directional snowboard can affect your carving. Just an idea, but I think it would really help show the community the difference between them. I’ve tried to watch videos on the matter on KZbin, but no one explains as well as you do, let alone rides as well as you do. I’d be extremely interested in seeing this from you brother and think a lot of others will be too.

Ryan 'The Jedi Snowboarder' Knapton........ Dude, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you in person recently at Copper. Thank you for all the great content you put out, much appreciated brotha! Keep shreddin'

[@kobayashimaru8114]

Big +1 For the One X2! My old GoPros (Hero 3 Black and earlier) were frustrating to use for one reason or another. The footage was also underwhelming and often went unused. Since I got the One X2 my footage looks sooo much better and is effortless to shoot. Being able to re-frame multiple times from a single take is a total game changer. I'm sure GoPros are similar now too but I love the form factor of the One X2 (and now X3).

[@NHlocal]

You're giving us a whole lot better look at some insanely epic carving. Thanks for sharing that Ryan! Keep yourself safe and Qapla! 😃👍❤🏂 Randy

[@martykasa7864]

I remember that crazy long tree branch/selfie stick video... that was an awesome wide angle & perspective.

[@_christian_sison_]

Looks like you’ve adjusted to the 60m sidecut Ryan! Love the new angles. Good work 🤙🏾

[@RyanKnapton]

Ha. You gotta come try it next winter. :D

[@krisztiankovacs3577]

Only 60...?🤔

[@vespatipps6949]

Looks really awesome with your new Insta360. Congratulations for the new stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MJPunkt]

Nice VID, I love Insta 360 footage. Please more of it.

[@Max_Snellink]

I've just got one myself.. Haven't had an action cam since the 2nd GoPro. Its absolutely gorgeous footage and fun in the edit. No rads in a group ride get missed. Finally got to snowboard after 2 years break.

[@Max_Snellink]

I did make a mistake... Filmed entire day in time-lapse but in the edit pulled it back with some lush slo mo footage. Just put that vid up on my KZbin.

[@RyanKnapton]

Glad to hear you're back riding! And nice silhouetted shot of the slasher!

[@Max_Snellink]

@@RyanKnapton our resort and local business had a horrible last two years. I sold my mountain condo apartment and bought an old house and quit the tourist industry. I'm now freelancing between pow and blue bird days albeit I do t have to work again for 20 years. Watched your vid on my new projector with the biggest smile on my face. Its all about Barn life and snowboarding from now on. Qupla! 🧡🤠

[@matthew_harris]

Killer footage and you shred BTW! Love those deep carves. I am hitting breck in two weeks with my X3 and can't wait to score some good footage.

[@jprince85]

That extra long selfie stick is bringing back memories from your video about how to find the best selfie stick.

[@RyanKnapton]

I should try that again. Ha. Won't be with the invisible stick, but it does make for an interesting and funny shot.

[@jprince85]

@@RyanKnapton it really made for some pretty good shots, as well as being quite funny. And very impressive as well. I don’t think I could snowboard with a stick that long.

[@daddyboomboom6636]

Hi Ryan! What a fantastic resource you are. I'm coming back into the sport after a break since the winter of 98' (yes, 1998). I'll be 61 by the time the 2023 season gets underway. My first board was a Sims Switchblade, with plate bindings. Back then it was all about the CARVE!! Fast, full body extension and laying very low to the ground (backside or front side, just get low). It was the only thing that reminded me of windsurfing in the summer. Here is my question to you or anyone else that may have experienced this issue. I just got my INSTA360 X2. Also the same shorter selfie stick that you have. When I switch my hand with the selfie stick it appears that the sound goes right up the handle into the camera and is recorded. I've tried a foam pipe sleeve, a rubber grommet to NO avail. Still get the sound of my gloved hand switching. Now I'm waiting on a carbon fiber unit to see if that stops the noise. Any feedback would be great! Best regards, David

[@backcountrygamer8171]

Hi Ryan! It was awesome riding with you at yesterday's demo on Copper Mountain! Thanks for the tips and advice! I was getting my elbow down by the end of the day and LOVING the wide Knapton Twin! Think I'll go over 29 cm waist when I order my new board!

[@SeanOzz]

Long time. Hope your season has been good. I do lots with 360 content now on the ole channel. Great cameras out there and the x2 is a great one.

[@Shredfam]

You should play with in snap edit mode. It allows you to select clips. You can deep track in snap mode as well. Snap mode is awesome for trying to put together a little edit from a days worth of video.

[@RyanKnapton]

I'll have to check that out. I haven't played around with any of the fancy stuff it can do yet.

[@ed_boogie]

Glad you got one bro. I was wondering when you were going to cop one. Shots look amazing!

[@TaylorPhase]

yooo where are the crowds? breck is usually shoulder to shoulder even on weekdays

[@T25de]

Looking forward to Donek demo, saw a girl on a Donek at keystone today.

[@jamesbond-us9vb]

Insta 360 is a game changer….Q’Apla

[@Rafatravel]

I just bought the X3, I hope it improves my snowboarding :D

[@bcmedzis]

Ryan where are you? Breck is open! Hope to see you there next week

[@DaveHollanderEE]

Kicks ass! GoPro Fusion is still extremely manual. Hope to upgrade some time next year. 🤞

[@StevenErcolani]

It's really nice without the stick in the frame all the time. That must be a crazy long stick you had because the view was crazy and the shadow was too!

[@rollingedges9469]

Pretty rad footage dude!🤙

[@RyanKnapton]

Thanks Man. Cya at Copper soon!

[@rollingedges9469]

@@RyanKnapton Im stoked! but the weather look's shitty! 🤙

[@technick007ify]

Been using it for 2 season, great camera for smooth selfie vidéos! Season already finished here in estern Canada :(

[@arvinstz]

Ryan what jacket are u using?

[@choyMM]

That drone shot looks awesome. Really great to see how you ride across the slope rather than just the up close shots we've seen previously. Doesn't the long stick affect your riding? I got a cheap action camera just to play around with and to film myself so I can watch where I make mistakes, but I'm so conscious of the camera that my riding is worse with it. I've been thinking about a 360 camera so that I don't have to worry about where the camera is pointed and I can just focus on my riding. But the price doesn't justify my intended purpose just yet :)

[@RyanKnapton]

I like you're approach of working on your riding first and foremost. :) The extended selfie stick limits the tricks I'd do with it, but for my normal turns it works good. And yup, the 360 cam is great for not having to worry about how you frame up the shot while riding. In the past I've had tons of clips where my board wasn't in the shot making it unusable. Problem solved. :)

[@choyMM]

@@RyanKnapton I've been struggling with heel side turns for ages and I know I tend to get misaligned on the turn. Having a camera shows me exactly what I'm doing. I thought my only problem was my rear shoulder but what I saw on video was that I had my lead shoulder forwards as well on a heel turn. A better camera like yours will probably reveal more issues I don't notice myself.

[@alwaysgosnowboarding]

@@choyMM im an intermediate who has used the cam to help me coach myself a lot! Really recommend. And you can do so much more than snowboard stuff goodluck!

[@choyMM]

@@alwaysgosnowboarding what camera do you use and how long is your selfie stick? I think at the very least I need a longer stick to see more of how I ride. I just got a new board too so getting a more expensive camera is out of the question at the moment. But we'll see by next winter ;)

[@alwaysgosnowboarding]

@@choyMM I have the insta360 one x2. Maybe look for used deals this offseason, ebay is good for those electronics. I have the same length pole as ryan and its everything youll need! Congrats on the new board.

[@taissiobrito]

I have the gopromax 360 and I like the video quality but when I upload to Instagram my videos turn into crap. Did you have this problem with the gopro? Any specific routine you follow to upload your videos (either with de insta360 or your old 360 camera)?

[@livinroomlongshanks]

Give us more content 🤘🏾

[@brandontan6044]

I love you style ryan ❤️❤️ can you tell me what your leg degree

[@ultrarealm]

Dude， long overdue, you should've gotten a 360 action Cam long time ago, this is sooooooooo much better.

[@bestbiter]

What kind of the binging for donek snowboard better?

[@KirillKonshin]

Duuude, I'm surprised you haven't done that years ago :) finally, better late than never! So much better than regular GoPro closeups, especially the drone-like view. PS I ride with this exact camera too. There are less beefy ultralight long-reach carbon fiber selfie sticks on Amazon. Not sure if it's OK to post links here.

[@T25de]

Fact: with the new angles you have to start production of the next Side Slip movie sir!

[@diablo12359]

Hey, do you had any injouries with your shoulder in your past ? I get one last week =(

[@JeanPaulWolff]

Watch out for the chairs with that long stick ;-)

[@brownmanlig2927]

Awesome!

[@Poodom]

Was wondering when you'd upgrade to a 360. Good stuff 💪

[@DrTopLiftDPT]

sicc. Video quality not nearly as good as go pro or did youtube compression mess this up?

[@RyanKnapton]

I see even the footage from my phone isn't as crisp as the original, so hopefully I'll figure it out fully. I see I used the wrong frame rate for the project settings. And had the 'quality' of the rendering at 'limited' to 10Kbps (vs. 'best')... so there's the first couple things I'll need to get right in the next vid.

[@KirillKonshin]

@@RyanKnapton you can use Insta360 desktop software which allows to export in ProRes. Or in H.265 with bitrate of 60-80m or H.264 80. KZbin will downsample to ~30.

[@DrTopLiftDPT]

@@RyanKnapton I was watching on a 1440p monitor btw.

[@oldsbuilt8740]

Yo Ryan, I dig carving up fresh corduroy just as much as you (I’m from MN so that’s all we get 😛) but just wondered if you ever need a break from that and hit up some tree runs or back country? Would love to see some clips of you in the trees and some freshy!

[@triphonovav]

what kind of phone!!!! my phone realme 6/128 is very slow processing deep track

[@LAZER1986]

The camera is great, but only in sunny conditions, it needs a lot of light. Also some great angles If you put the selfie stick on your shoulder) You can see it on my channel in the last video:p

[@waltciii3]

Hi Ryan! I just got a Donek Incline, my stance is 22.8 (I'm 5ft 8in tall) what's your stance. I'm 52 and have been boarding since 1990, but always want to push myself to carve better.

[@RyanKnapton]

I ride pretty damn wide at 23.75 inches. Every season I try both wider and narrower in the same day. Narrow can help apply pressure to the middle of the board. Wider feels like stability to me with buttering and freestyle stuff. Definitely worth playing around with so that you have confidence in your own stance with choices for how you want your riding to feel along with your own objectives of what you want to achieve on the snow. 😃❄️🏂❄️✌️

[@RyanKnapton]

Oops, typed wrong. 24.75 inches.

[@waltciii3]

@@RyanKnapton Wow, do you have a 160 length board?

[@wrinkle66]

Thanks to Ryan for pushing me toward Donek and Sean. I've never looked back. Board #2 is a 159L, 31.8W, 11M sidecut. Keystone got a few inches of fresh pow Sunday April 10. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LXhYGNZ8asfMU. That board is so stable and super fast with Donek's new base grind.

[@rickyroaster]

Lemon squeezy 🤣

[@user-py6zw4mu8e]

Sorry Ryan - I know it doesn’t matter what I think and I’ll keep watching you vids cos you’re a genius but the new camera is pants - sorry. It’s just not the same seeing everything in a curve and it’s too far away to catch all you’re moves. It’s a bit expensive though so I can understand you sticking with it. When it breaks buy one of the cameras you used previously.
