@seancolwell3815 3 года назад

I am always amazed at how well this guy carves with a wide duck stance (negative angle on the rear foot). It makes sense because he does a lot of switch riding. But it just goes to show that binding angles just are not as critical for carving as I once thought.

@segelsegler35 3 года назад

Hi Ryan, nice explanation, always high quality. In addition: my experience in learning how to clean up my transitions... 2 crucial points: I often see snowboarders performing transitions too passively. Don't tilt and "fall" on the opposite edge - it is an active process, which is not iniciated by the upper body, but by the legs. Look how far Ryan's feet move in the transition while his upper body is completely without movement - it's roughly 1m! The key to achieve this is a very low center of gravity. The lower it is, the easier a transition gets. The more angulated a turn should be, the lower the c.o.g. should be.Most guys are far too upright on the board. Just to give an impression: I (regular stance) can't put anything in my left pockets (neither trousers nor jacket) as it blocks my movement in the transition.

@stevefoss8171 3 года назад

From 4:45 to 7:05 try slowing your playback speed to .25. You can really see how the side cut helps the board flex as he applies weight in the turn. The sound is kind of weird, but you get a really good look at how the board flexing through the turn.

@donnyh3497 Год назад

The last time i was out I tried this "slapping" the edge in and it was very cool. It helped that I was using Ryan's tip on "kneeling forward and sitting backwards" while keeping good posture. This ensured that I was dug in enough to confidently slap the edges down for transitioning from one edge to the other. You're awesome Ryan!

@adamtadros1472 3 года назад

I freaking love your videos, because all too often people focus only on snowboarding what goes on in the air, but for normal folk, we spend almost %100 of our time on the ground, and it's so nice to have something to work towards there. Thanks, Ryan!

@danleach3578 3 года назад

This was an awesome explanation! I could never manage to flip from heels to toes (or vice-versa) very easily. Watching the footage made me realise I wasn't letting the board pass under my centre of gravity before making the transition. Made a world of difference - thanks!

@iamnotabot961 2 года назад

that stylish. The "clap" transition is interesting because most of us, at this exact same moment, tend to use the energy coming from the tail to "jump" and engage the next turn. We make us "lighter" when you make yourself "heavier". That gonna be interesting to practice that this winter. cheers !

@user-qr8ki8ue4i 3 года назад

Thank you for these vids. As a middle-aged lady I'm finding these tips and pointers delightful. Hit a few nice carves at speed this season and loved the sensation of feeling "sucked into the mountainside." Tried techniques mentioned in this vid today and found I tensed up a lot trying to "thunk." (The spring ice mixed with chop probably didn't help my confidence....).

@mmlvx 3 года назад

Also try initiating the transition with independent ankle movement, leading foot first, with trailing foot a split second later (in effect, twisting the board along the longitudinal axis). When you get the timing right, you get a double "thunk"; and when you look at the track you left, you don't have that foot or two where the board was flat on the snow. Instead you get a foot or two of cool overlapping carves where one carve ended and the next began.

@hawkwind769 Год назад

I've been riding a one wheel for the past 3 years and my carving has really benefited. And without ever seeing your videos I mentally think heal toe heel toe,,, it helps🥂😆

@glebnikitin 3 года назад

Thanks Ryan, your videos really changed how I ride since I first saw them 3 years ago. I am not anywhere near your level, but I keep on training ) I recommend your channel to everybody trying to progress. It would be great if you could make more slow motion videos as slow as possible with a voice over explaining your moves and why you do them including shoulders etc. I always try to pause and compare what I do / vs what you do to try it out later on slopes.

@turb0b0ytim 3 года назад

what a great tip! I always try to hook that downhill edge to avoid sitting down, while waiting on my kids. Now it will be a training break! And honestly, its always my heel edge, so I MUST gain this control on my toes. Had a Knapton sighting from the light a couple of weeks ago. QAPLA!

@RyanKnapton 3 года назад

@RyanKnapton 3 года назад

😁🤘. I love hearing it. And when trying this quick transition, if it has just a bit of skid early it the turn to help catch your balance, don't worry about it at all. Just try to make that skid get less and less each time until pure. 🤓🤘

@hunslord 3 года назад

As it relates to your “slapping the board transition” I always picture a beaver tail slapping water or the ground. Visualization helps me out a lot

@marco13ceo 2 года назад

Hey Ryan what also helps me to get faster and cleaner on the new edge after a transition is to activly tilt the board up more, to basicaly „fall“ into the new turn. Ist hard to explain, i try with an example. So if im riding on my toeedge in a transition and i then tilt the board explosively up a little more (by bending my knees to lift the heeledge) my board turns quickly a bit more uphill. This results in a movement of my body center of gravity towards downhill and out of the «support surface» of my board, which means i kind of fall on the new edge (heeledge). I think that way i get really fast on the new edge.

@JOx-vt7cw 3 года назад

@rileyh2675 3 года назад

Great video! Just wanted to add that when you are on a skinnier board, it won't be as much of a thwap, it will be more of a rolling feeling transition.

@RyanKnapton 3 года назад

Love that you know that feeling, cuz when I mellow it out, that rolling feeling (even though the base is flat) is what I feel... Almost as if there was a long half circular tube under the middle of the board that I want to transition over quickly. Thanks and happy shredding!

@pablocassano 3 года назад

@@RyanKnapton Hey! Have you ever tried 3d bases? I think the spoon or 3bt would be the way to make wide boards more accessible. Has Donek any 3d bases? My flagship really rolls over nicely compared to a custom or any regular board.Just wish it was wider. Awesome video as always. Qapla!

@MegaDgn 3 года назад

Hey, I have been watching your videos and they are awesome! I have really tried to step up my own carving this year and have watched a lot of your videos! Have you done any videos showing how you carve and turn on steeper terrain? I guess you must be limited at what you can do if it gets steeper? I can now carve pretty nicely at mellow slopes around the Mercury and Beaver Run chairlifts but if I head to Falcon where the terrain is steeper I’m having trouble holding my edges but it seems to be fine for my skier friends. Thanks man!

@doctorsquirl4964 3 года назад

@stefangonzo 3 года назад

Great visualization. Maybe consider another video where you draw the diagram in the snow, twice. Once as you did in this video, with the board drawn pointing down the mountain. (As a pro might visualize it...) Then draw again, with the board perpendicular to the fall line, in the breaking position. (As a beginner might visualize it...) Still draw the circles but talk about the mentality shift that occurs when you get comfortable enough to keep your board pointed downhill more.

@NHlocal 3 года назад

Hey Ryan, "older" rider here(55). I gotta say, you're carving/edge control skills are both unbelievable and inspiring at the same time. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the transition and "feel". I am working hard on getting my leg strength up enough to actually hold a good carve for more than a handful of turns without turning into complete jello. I've actually touched down my knee a few times on my toe side but, I've got a lot more work to do with my heel side turns. And those butters coming out of the carve..... 😳😳😳 I don't know if I'll ever have butter skills like that. Keep up the great work with all your great content! 😃👍❤️🏂 Keep yourself safe and..... Qapla' !!! 😎👊👊👊 Randy

@RyanKnapton 3 года назад

On the equipment, adding forward lean and lots of it helps with the heelside carving... So try that if haven't already. And yup, lots of squats and calf raises, some yoga, P90X, etc. can definitely help with getting the stamina up while riding. But heck, a handful of good turns and then a mini break on the side of the run to enjoy the awful views is great too. 😁🤘

@NHlocal 3 года назад

@@RyanKnapton I've got forward lean at max right now. And yes, that definitely helps. I appreciate the the helpful suggestions. I know that will help me out also.
