How I Wax My Snowboard!

[@MCarrier]

"I've come inside my car to finish the video because some people parked next to me, and I'm scared of people." I laughed pretty hard at this. Most relatable thing I've ever heard.

[@TheBrotherPrime]

So that's why my snowboard has been slow... I didn't turn the iron on when I waxed it.

none of you idiots realized he didnt use a base cleaner before waxing ?>

[@matt8317]

I wax my snowboard the Russian way, first, you shoot the snowboard a couple times, then, you cover the board with Vodka, then you shoot it with a flamethrower

[@Cyanide_Infused]

i thought that was the american way minus the vodka

[@Walgardsw]

@@Cyanide_Infused American way is to bomb snowboard with nuclear bomb first

[@Walgardsw]

@@youngmill6 and belly dancing?

[@youngmill6]

Hahah never heard of that one bro, only kolbasti xD@@Walgardsw

[@swipe1754]

Romainian way is to simply suck the blood out of the wax and then just spit it all over.

[@mhulb]

I always use base cleaner and try to get as much of the old extra wax off first before I start applying the wax. Doing this helps the wax stick more and you will notice that u won’t have to wax your board as often. Just a helpful tip. Great vid!

[@mainelygames17]

All imma say fam is that iron shouldnt be smoking. Bring temp down to where the wax melts not too fast but not too slow. Also binding loosening is a good idea but not a big deal if you dont leave the iron directly on where the inserts are for too long. (This knowledge comes from experience and many snowboarding seasons)

[@Citizenboyo]

teach us how to sharpen the board

[@someusername121]

You have to buy file/stone guides to maintain a consistent angle on the edge. There is no shortcut of doing it freehand, because it's impossible to maintain a half-degree of accuracy without a guide. If you see someone filing a board freehand: they don't know what they're doing or they're only trying to knock down a large ding on the edge from hitting a rock. What a lot of people do is wait 10+ snow-days to do their edges in a shop and then wax every 3-4 days DIY.

[@powellcpr8747]

He can't even wax it correctly, I would hate to see how he tunes up the edges.

[@powellcpr8747]

@@pixlord9773 You need to remove the bindings from the board before you hot wax or it will separate the insert packs, also, you don't want the wax to be smoking, way too hot.

God damnit David I was drinking my pure spring water while watching and you damn near made me go to the hospital I choked so hard. Love the edits, awesome funny content ma duuude!

[@zarajean31]

I just got home from snowboarding today and I am rewarded with one of your videos

[@EnzedDev]

"i havnt had a shop wax my board in so long" > 5 days ago posted a video getting the wax done for $5

[@krassergamerLP]

So basically ages ago

[@irynakukharska2843]

Love your channel! I loosen the binding screws because if i wont i will get wax deposits kinda in circles in form of the bolt holes underneath, but im an alpine snowboarder, so it matters more for my board rather then for a soft board like yours.

[@MRevilsnowman23]

I use candlewax, sometimes even earwax for my boards

[@kyushka.]

MRevilsnowman23 me too

[@strxveCS]

yucky

[@mikem302]

Candle wax works just as good as snowboard wax

[@sebastiandisaz148]

Lower the temp on the iron shouldn’t be smoking like that ur burning the wax if it is smoking and take off ur bindings too or the inserts will swell and u will have bumps on ur base where the inserts r

[@anthonyvu749]

sebastian disaz could you reuse the wax you scrap off? sorry i’m cheap and trying to save as much as possible

[@sebastiandisaz148]

Anthony Vu yeah u can we do that at the shop I work at for ppl who want cheap waxes but it won’t last as long as a full wax. Although the kit seems like a lot of money it saves u more in the long run than going to a shop and getting wax is relatively cheap

[@mpjitske]

Wish I'd known this! This happened to my board, I've got a few bumps now from my inserts :( at least I now know why and can warn others, thanks!

[@harrysurette7209]

It’s cause he has a steam iron

[@mhulb]

Never use old wax homie. Do some chores and get some extra cash for it. It will make ur board ride way better

[@VISP4RT4NIV]

Also the thing about taking off the bindings is that if you dont take them off the air under the bolts will expand due to heat and create little divets on the base, which can get caught on shit like rails, etc

[@garaksboyfriend8177]

I highly recommend only drinking water. I felt amazing when I did it. I don't recommend drinking between 3.5 and 5 Liters a day though because when I did it I had to pee 5-7 times a day.

Do you have to take your bindings off to wax it

[@lukecorbett56]

loosen the screws , if they’re too tight it could mess it up

[@YuzukiEba]

No base cleaning before putting the wax in ?

[@Breyercraz1971]

I wax my skies a lot like that, it’s just harder since you have to do two skies and scrape both while keeping the brakes out of the way

[@danielyang2145]

Jump4theblue_cvf use rubber bands to keep the brakes away

[@matthewpowell1327]

Just clip the binding up and the brakes go away

[@Mike_Solo]

In the end of the videos you said to drink water but all I could think about is that HUGE box of TWIX!!!!

[@johnnyk3788]

Growing up my father used to wax our cross country skies. He used to save the scrapings to use them over and over. Do you know if there is any reason not to save the scrapings? I'm just curious. I know you showed how to save wax by heating and rubbing the wax on the board, but if you save your scrapings, lay them out on your board, and than heat them up with the iron, wouldn't that do the same thing? I used to do this this way for yrs. I think he bought that lock of wax in the 70's and it lasted me throughout the 90's using this technique.

[@scorpio78k]

So I have a weird question. Can you used waxed that has been scraped off? Like remelting in into a solid again.

[@georgemorgan94]

You can. Melt it down and filter it through a sieve or coffee filter a couple times, then pour it into a mold.

[@someusername121]

@@georgemorgan94 Filtering is the important part. When you wax a board all the dirt and contaminants from being on-snow floats to the top and gets scraped off with the wax.

[@beanhedd]

Park sesh was sick

[@martijnchannel]

Heu david u could try cleaning your base this is first scraping the remaining wax off and then put little bit of wax on there after cooling down scrape it of again and your base is cleane and the new wax wil stay on a lot longer. Love yur vids keep up 😛

[@Clux-yp3xv]

Is I the only person that’s watching all of David’s old videos

[@EricCheVe]

I can only add that I stack the board between the top of two chairs so it doesn't move like in bindings and I brush it too

[@christiandelullo3020]

if you don't have a scraper what can you use

[@kickstart831]

Ive never taken my bindings off when waxing and never have had a problem, however, I take my time and turn the iron down pretty low.

[@mattmay6710]

I think a lot of people dont keep it low, look at David for example, it's literally smoking. That is when you have issues

[@rot_v]

I keep my bindings on too, have the iron around 125°C and it should be all chill...

[@brallantp.2812]

Wait so... you put the wax on to get it off?

same but I make sure i get all wax off edges, thanks for tip about drinking water!! I wanna irder a sticker for my board now :0

[@BuffaloSoja420]

I use a stool to sit my board on. And you can straddle it when you scrap it

[@nielsieoiets]

I usually put alot of wax around the edges because i find that thats the place which loses its wax its quickest

[@danielyang2145]

Niels Dijkstra put colder wax on the edges, means u can wax less. I usually use 0-4 degrees wax and I use -8 to -4 wax on the edges

[@TrophobieClaus]

haha, all these doubts for natural spring water xD Here in germany, we have almost all water out of the ground, not specially treated, just tested, thats it. Even on local water springs you are able to drink it right away, so, why worry in NZ?!

It's debatable how necessary this is. Supposedly after a few runs the snow brushes the base for you, and you only need to brush if you're racing where the first run *is* your run. Some people just scrape and go.

Michael Osuchowski depends on how long it’s been. I’d say after a couple days on the mountain or wherever your snowboarding. It’s good to get your board waxed. A shop can do it easy for about 15 bucks. You don’t have to have your own kit. But yes for the best experience while snowboarding wax your board as often as you can. It won’t necessarily hurt the board if you don’t though
