I just turned 48. I started riding last winter and got out three times in the worst conditions for a beginner (bullet proof ice). I just acquired a Burton Free Thinker and can't wait for the season to begin here on the east coast. This video? That's how I want to ride!! That is so smooth and graceful. If I could ride like this, I'd go into my old age a happy man. Thanks for posting!
@@MrLiquitorleaveit Four years later I'm all glades and moguls. How about them apples?! Can't get enough. I have three boards and last season I bought the Jones Solution Split. It's uphill from here. :)~
Man this is absolutely beautiful to watch. Loved every second of this. I'm just learning to snowboard and this is truly something to aspire to. Well done guys keep it coming!
just gotta say man you have inspired me so much to progress through these last few seasons your style is truly like no other, keep doing what your doing!
That simply movement at 2:36 is what I've craved to do for years. I picked up longboarding because of it and have busted my ass on concrete multiple times; yet I still love/do it. I'm excited to learn how to move like that on a more forgiving surface
+dabronzo So... I've had this request before, and I actually did start a folder of 'falls', but with basically never catching an edge anymore, or doing any off jumps or in the pipe that I haven't done a ton before... Most my falls are really pretty lame and nothing bad. Me age 10 to about 18!!! OMG I wanna see that crash reel!
Well the thing is that with Ryan and a snowboard it's like a symbiosis so he never falls, imagine birds without wings, life without oxygen, boat's without the power of floating and so on... I even think that Ryan was born on a snowboard and it got stuck to him right away :D
@@RyanKnapton it's cool to see younger generation learning how to really carve. I'm 42 now and have been riding for 20 plus years. Enjoy riding with my 17 year old and watching him learn how to really carving 🙃
Glad to have you posting again any chance you can get your hands on some burton step ons for a review no way I'm dropping that much money without the "Knappy approved " stamp on them
@ryanknapton what song did you use for this video? I've added a few of the songs from your edits and they vibe so well with my riding style! P.S. I'm an instructor at Copper and would LOVE a chance to ride with you some time this season! Long time fan and observer of your skills!
For years I rode the Burton Custom, and Custom X. I liked the flex, and shape at that time. After I got into carving more, then I moved to the wide versions of each. After that I moved up in length to get wider yet, but that extra width is very marginal. Then I had a broken board that a shop was giving away that was really wide (compared to anything I had ridden at the time). Even though it was broke it became my favorite board cuz of how much deeper I could carve on it before hitting my toes and heels into the snow. Next I paid Unity Snowboards to make me a custom board (the owner is a friend and he gave me a deal on the 2 boards they made me). I went up wider and wider (27.5cm, then 29cm) with each of those, but kept the same sidecut radius of 8.7m. Most companies presses can't build wider yet, and thats eventually what I wanted. Luckily then Donek Snowboards asked if I'd be interested in trying out their boards... and after the last couple years we've made a handful of revisions and they've now given me my own model. I use mine in a super wide version, with a larger sidecut radius than most riders would want. So although my board is PERFECT for what I do and how I ride, I really don't suggest anyone just go get my specs cuz they most likely wouldn't like em. But the board can be customized and moving up in width first and then sidecut radius is my tips for if you're mostly focused on carving deep on a freestyle snowboard. Happy Shreddin!
Ryan Knapton - Thank you so much for your answer. I would love to do what seems to be super easy for you. You have a most original style I've ever seen. It is a pleasure to watch
+AdamV For me I had a ton of nice buttering tricks before I was doing these like this.. but yup, if you can carve decently regular and switch, I think within a season you could have them really good. For a lot of people there stance may not be wide enough to really hold the press long, so keep that in mind if you find your struggling with em. Best luck and happy shreddin!
Hey ryan, i have a new Donek snowboard i'm gonna try out for the first time in a few weeks, what are you thoughts & recommendations on 'de-tuning' your edges ? I don't want to loose the ability to carve the s%"t out of the mountain !
I use to detune the tip and tail just a bit, but now I ride them exactly how they come. When I'm doing my buttering stuff often I'm riding the edge even just at the very end of the nose or tail, so I like that to be a bit sharp still to balance on... I've over-detuned one board and then it was noticeable when doing say fs and bs nose-rolls. So try it as is, and if you do feel it's too catchy or anything, then gently give it a bit of detuning until it feels right. Happy shreddin!
Definitely don't detune right away, give it a test ride stock and then if you find it a bit too catchy you can detune just a bit right at the contact points. Just be careful, remember you can't get back the material you shave off. Also many people will tell you to detune too far into the sidecut, doing so makes for a more forgiving ride and makes it easier to do presses, jibs, rails, etc. But if you want to carve the shit out of the mountain you want as much grip as possible!
Hey Ryan, what sort of board is your freind on? Really would appreciate if you could help me out here, I love this type of riding. Ryan your riding is super smooth and amazing as usual, the buttering looks magic no jk haha. Keep up the smooth riding vids, could watch these 100 times over and over.😱
Ahh, yeah, I should add some of em. Mostly I like colors that 'pop' to an extent, and favorite brands are 686, Volcom, some Burton ones, and some older Foursquare ones I've gotten from craigslist that were like new. Happy shreddin!
We've only tapped a tiny bit together so it's definitely something that'll improve. This was all on the same day he taped my 'The Art of Snowboarding: Side-slipping' vid... so there wasn't much footage of me to be picky about what came out good enough. Appreciate the feedback tho and I can't wait to get back to taping new stuff! Happy Shreddin!
hy there Ryan! nice to see you care about feedbacks!! and by the way thanks for keepin up shredding for us on yt, and big up for your sick style and control of the board! as fas as i'm concerned, you deserve a phd in applied physics :)
The gimbal helps a ton, but a great tip for if your not able to get one is using an extra long mono-pod... it helps get rid of a bunch of the small little vibrations that happen while riding... and just having the camera person put extra focus into holding the camera or stick as smooth or still as possible. Happy shreddin!
I'm definitely going to upgrade! :D Basically it's double all the specs. I didn't upgrade to the 5, cuz they were the same that was on my Hero 4 black, but yup, do shoot 4k in 60fps and the other frame rates doubling has me stoked. Obviously I use a gopro extensively so its worth it for me, but for many whot don't record much or need much slow mo, then a previous version can be just fine of course.
Очень круто! смотрю все видео с восторгом, но это снято по-настоящему, профессионально. Есть ли Ваши видео на русском или украинском языках? особенно где Вы рассказываете о технике?
I don't think he does, but his instagram name is jibsnovv. Def looking forward to shreddin with him again this winter! (btw he's the one who tapped my last sideslip vid... he was probably like "wtf" while taping me slip run after run after run. lol.

About 80 years old you could go for your last craziest freeride.
That's awesome dude! Exactly my thoughts when I watched the video. Started in my thirties... :D keep it up and happy shredding!
53 and still shredding'. Keep it up. You is never too old!

Ryan, I love watching you ride. Your style is just buttery smooth. It's beautiful. Thank you for these videos.

Been more than a minute since you put this out, but few videos portray FUN as well as this one.
Yesss stoked to see some shredding! Can't wait to see what kind of stuff you capture this season.
Awwww yeah!!! It's about that time again.
What a great moves. This is exactly the reason why i love snowboarding so much. Keep making those vids!
Man this is absolutely beautiful to watch. Loved every second of this. I'm just learning to snowboard and this is truly something to aspire to. Well done guys keep it coming!
The force is strong with Ryan's Padawan!
Nice preseason and lunchtime watching for the East Coast. Keepem comin!
Awesome! Can't wait for more...
Poetry in motion 👍🏼

Awesome vid really inspiring.
Daaaaaaamn what a dope video! Never seen something that had this flow in it. So chill! 💯💥 Good Job Boysss
This is great! Shows you dont have to hit 50’ gaps to have a blast on a board! 👍👍👍
Yes on this! 🏂🙏
Hey that's me @jibsnovv
Always a blast Ryan! Can't wait to ride some more wit ya this season!!
Loved the push ups!
Sick riding, dude! I made a .gif of your insanely long tripod and shared it with some buddies, haha!
Liontaryist thankkks man, glad to hear it!! Send it on over to my Instagram if you get a second. @Jibsnovv

Very flulent style, mirin’

AWESOME VID MAN! Keep it up!
This is torture! At least two more months until I can hit the slopes. And last season was cut short when I broke my collarbone... ...twice.
Same exact thing happened to me, I feel your pain. Seasons comin tho
Richard Boot breakin it once, thinkin you’re good to go back up, then Fallin on it again and bustin it up even worse lol
You do some sweet Videos, Bro! Love your music choice!.
Again perfect video :)
Great stuff!
killing it man
Did we just witness the first cut of 'TRIPOD THE MOVIE' ?? Can't wait to see it
THAT TRIPOD!!!!
+iamkeir hell yeah! It almost looks sped up! (It isn't). Fastest one I've ever seen!
I've always been a bit of a tripod snob - never that fond of their aesthetic but JIB just put them back on the agenda big time!!!
I usually think tripods are lame looking, but that was pretty damn sweet

So what you're saying is, Chuck Norris tried going incognito on a snowboard and adopted the moniker "Ryan Knapton."
Man, I delaminated my board yesterday doing some of this shit. I imagine the dynamics of this change when you are 200 lbs
he back, we back.
:') winter is coming!
You freakin shred knapton, those nose rolls are so damn sexy. It needs to start snowing already
Damn dude! Im working hard to get to your level.. only 15 more years to go!
Like your videos.
Wondering about your snowboard settings.
It would be really cool if you did a follow-up on this young kid and how he's progressed🙃

Hi ryan ! Can you tell what board are you using ? And size ? And the nitro one do you know what model is ? Tks
Yo dude awesome session !! but what's name of song please ?
Wow! How can I get that good!?
Great stuff! May I know what's the brand of the two jackets? Thx
+leon LIANG I'm not sure what JIBs is. The red jacket is made by DC a handful of years ago. Thanks and happy shreddin!

How long would you say it took you before you could do the nose rolls pretty comfortably? A few seasons? 1 season?

Luke Ponsioen the Nitro Team 2017! Greatttt board, highly recommended!
Thank you so much is it a hybrid or is it camber? And what's the flex like?
Luke Ponsioen true camber I believe! It was pretty flexy, but took a few days to break in.
Ah okay was it easy to catch an edge ?
JIB B NOOO WAYY YOU'RE THE GUY IN THE VIDEO?!??!
Collision at 1:01? Or just zoomed in a lot?
It's shot in 2.7k, then I zoom in and use the best section of the vid at 1080. So it looks a lot closer than it was. He passed me right then.
You listed all your gear except your jacket! You just use different colors of the same jacket or what's up?
Ahh, yeah, I should add some of em. Mostly I like colors that 'pop' to an extent, and favorite brands are 686, Volcom, some Burton ones, and some older Foursquare ones I've gotten from craigslist that were like new. Happy shreddin!

Hey man! What camera do you use to shoot those fine videos with?
This is with the GoPro hero 4 Black using the 2.7k 60fps settings. And mounted on a Zhiyun gimbal for smoothness.
+Ryan Knapton awesome! Thanks so much! I have a hero 5 session but my videos don't look nearly as good as yours! Keep up the great work man!

camera used and video editing software???/
+Mason Wilkins this was all with the GoPro hero 4 black and I use Corel video studio.
