How to Really Really Carve #8! Laid-Out Toeside Carves

[@jakeenders7]

I wonder if you can do it with both arms behind your back, dragging your helmet instead

[@RyanKnapton]

😂😂😂😂😂😂. To be honest... I like your thinking! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@David-yp4tt]

As an armchair enthusiast, id bet that would be a good drill to discourage the rider from doing the "trust fall" thing, or subconsciously reaching for the snow.

[@jakeenders7]

Ryan Knapton if anybody can make it happen, it's you!

[@nathanc939]

Well I do not know about that but last year, when I was riding my father board, I hitted a small mound of snow with my face because I didn't look well enough where I was going. The effect on my turn could be seen in the print I left in the snow. A sudden very irregular shortening of the turn radius that alternated betwen carve and sliding turn and a few feet further, nothing as this is were I finally crashed. In the end the other snowboard instructors laughed a lot and said it was a rather spectacular crash but it didn't hurt at all, except for my pride.

[@01SoDa02]

@@RyanKnapton what material do you put on your jacket sleeves? Awesome videos mate!!

[@bapazian1]

I ski, not snowboard, your ethics are on point!!! I really appreciate your teaching style and you are making beautiful turns. Thanks for sharing!

[@mooncat.787]

Been watching a lot of carving lately. A lot of Japanese riders, American, but no one comes even close to the super clean accurate Ryan Knapton. Almost annoyingly good.

[@Calvinmetal]

Ive been learning these after watching your tutorials, thanks for the help. Today the lifties and some other riders were commenting on my carves and giving high fives/thumbs ups etc. it’s a really fun skill to throw down. Knees bent early is key, as little pressure on your arm as possible, only use your arm as a feeler gauge to measure how much distance is between you and the snow. Always check uphill before you throw these down. It makes for great style points coming up to the lift if you don’t bail, just don’t put anyone at risk if you’re going to be a hot shot!

[@snerck]

Incredible how advice can help. I´ve been trying to get low on toeside carves, but I never connected the dots to get low first, and THEN stretch out. Tried it yesterday morning, suddenly I can carve pretty much horizontally. You the man, mr. Knapton.

[@paqx3534]

I really like the format of teaching someone how to do it, makes it a lot easier to follow. When its just the pro doing it right it can be harder to understand

[@simitdesai]

Sick...i m carving on my couch here in MN while its snowing slush outside..lol love watching these REAL REAL carves..can’t wait to try it

[@neodmitryo]

Always love re-watching these videos to see what I am doing wrong. Thanks Brother

[@zw7453]

feeling like this is just like math and physics. It never ages! Watched this frame by frame and studied how Ryan carves. If you do the comparison you can clearly see that the other guy only spend 70 days on the slope since he is still kind of hunched over. However, if you look at how Ryan does it, every single time, if you pause and take screenshots of them, you will never know are they multiple screenshots of the same carve, or different carves, they are all the same! Perfect bending knees and laying out each every single time!

[@bradencarlquist8789]

These have ruined KZbin snowboarding for me! Lots of other guys on KZbin are skidding turns and just doing some minor buttering stuff. These are awesome keep it up!

[@nicholasrichon5062]

I came so close yesterday to a full lay down ripping carve, Lost my edge at maximum g's and was ejected from entire trail at mach 10. Bruised and a bit humiliated...... try again tomorrow.

[@comerford7470]

Something that has helped me do laid out carves on the east coast specifically is thick leather Klondike chopper mitts. The thick leather protects your hands in variable conditions much better than traditional gortex gloves. Another bonus is they are more than half the price of gortex gloves.

[@SwitzerlandInsider]

Wow, love this flat rolling mountains 😍❄️ perfect!!

[@gordonlevin4759]

This is a particularly good video. All of your videos are great but this one really breaks it down for a really fun and awesome technique. Thank you

I can't wait to watch this later! I'm praying for a heelside version of this.

[@MrLTJefferson]

Luca Sumberac me too man my toe and heel side carves are so unbalanced

[@martina2659]

He would need vinyl for the ass cheeks then too

[@KindaSortaGood]

Haha! Well, he does them already, no butt drag. But that would be hysterical.

[@lazadamn]

Great video Ryan I just subscribed hopefully I can bump into it here in Denver

[@christophermatthews555]

I wonder if you could make a cone or cylinder with a thumb loop out of the marine fabric so you could just slide it on over your jacket rather than permanently affixing the fabric to your jacket.

[@simontvrner]

"the 8th unofficial rule of the carving almanac" LMAO

[@nathanc939]

For years I have been riding a board on wich i have 3cm boot out on both heels and toes, I successfuly addapted my position and I can do those laid out turn if the snow is really firm. When the snow is soft there is no way I can do those turn with my board as in no time my boots dig it the snow and lift my edge from it. How I did it with my board is mostly by setting my highback to be way more inclined, so the board isn't as inclined when my legs are almost straight and I poke my but a little furter to just get a little more distance betwen my toes and the snow. Because of that it often doesn't work at high speed since inclination of the board with the snow is lower, but it is still doable. Still it is way easier with my fater board since I only boot out about 1cm each side, effectively allowing me to fully lay-out on the snow as long as it is not too soft.

[@balldoc54]

Hey Ryan, not only do I love your videos, but just watching you ride, man. Question, do you detune your boards at all? I've always been told that when you get a brand new board, you should detune the edges. Every tutorial I've ever seen on detuning always detunes down into the actual effective edge by like an inch or two.

Hey Ryan, Nice tutorial! I want to ask a trivial question: do you know your exact speed during your carving in the video? Right now my peak speed is only 40km/h, or 25 mile/h, I don't know if my speed is too low to such an aggressive carving. Thanks man!

I know that I'm going pretty damn slow while doing these and I'm starting to get decent at really laying them out. So I'd say you can definitely start out slow.
