Massive Dyno On New Special Volumes || My Big 3-Month Surprise For Nikken

[@bananavolumes4653]

Hey guys, we hope you like the video as much as we do! As many of you were wondering if stacking the volumes results in screwing into the same holes over and over again. As a consequence the wood would be gone after a few times doing so and there would be serious troubles with fixing the volumes properly. To solve this issue we place the screwing holes differently for every volume and even differently on the same or mirrored surfaces. As a result we can ensure that only, if you place the same volume in the exact same position on the same stack you placed it before, only in this specific case you will hit the same holes with a great chance. With 8000 possibilities (looking at the orientation of each volume and the different shapes) we hope to have delivered you exciting products allowing you to realise many of your ideas on the climbing wall. Cheers Leon, Julius & Johannes 🍌🥰

What if all volumes have two set of holes, one set for placing on the wall like usual, another set has preinstalled screw holes and all holes align perfectly between volumes, they use a special kind of screw that can link them up, so no need to drill anything and all the holes are reusable. Of course that will increase setters' workload.

[@paulzauner6896]

genius haha

[@TheQuicksilver115]

@@HajimeChan that would work, similar idea to how just normal bolt holes on the wall work, but 2 issues jump out at me: 1 the biggest downside is definitely increased cost, both labor and parts. I have to assume holds of this size are already a big investment and having to install these on every hold would have to drastically increase production costs. 2 as you mentioned you'd have to use a standardized screw, which it is probably possible to use the already standard bolts for normal wall things, but those are bulky and would require even more labor and material to get them to be compatible with all of the angles. You are correct though, that is absolutely the longest-lived solution and was definitely my first thought too. But they engineered a really genius, elegant, low-cost, and still incredibly effective long-term solution so it just doesn't make sense to go through all that extra effort.

[@HajimeChan]

@@TheQuicksilver115 agree, a simple solution that can save tons of cost indeed

[@erwinthomas3667]

The videos with you and Nikken these past few months have been absolutely wonderful. The highlight of my time on youtube and always a joy!

[@ravenruppie96]

Same bro. Hope they get squad back soon too

[@MCBeremus]

The emotions felt in this video, the love Nikken has for his craft and your love to produce such catching and emotionally deep videos is such a feat. I thoroughly enjoy your videos Eric. Thanks a ton for this one, one of my favorite of the year.

[@EricKarlsson]

We will do a giveaway in the future with Banana Volumes, so be ready for that later this year! :D

[@thdoe]

Thank you for sharing the bouldering part of your life! Haven't seen you on the wall for a while though :(

I love Banana Volumes! Luwwesje for president! Nur liebe aus der Waldresidenz!

[@TheMattAMusic]

Fav episode in a minute! :)

[@TheQuicksilver115]

I just want someone to look at me the way Nikken looks at these new Banana Volumes. For sure there wasn't a single person that watched him unbox them that didn't have a massive smile on their face too. His pure joy is contagious! Thanks for sharing that moment and your love of the art with us

[@Theboardbro]

Such a sick video!!

[@mairsilpretner6119]

Watching Nikken going all giddy with his new toys is just amazing, really cool episode!

[@michelechernega1782]

Eric, your shots were as sculptural as those beautifully colored volumes. I can’t believe no one mentioned the color! :D

[@casperras]

So wholesome!

[@theoneandonlyAeth]

I think "like a kid at Christmas" pretty much captures how Nikken felt here :D

[@afailable]

This is the best most wholesome and interesting content on KZbin at the moment

[@lampy12]

Nikken's excitement is soooo contagious 😁😁 I love these videos, keep up the great work!

[@AndeeRoemoe]

Incredible video gentlemen

[@arvicz22]

"... a real exciting episode today" Bruh, I get excited for all of your episodes!

[@kavali6320]

Only a few minutes in but already smiling like crazy ;) Christmas came early this year for Nikken. He's so happy 😊. What a wonderful and thoughtful surprise, Eric 🙏.

[@rockerboy95]

spicy ending is spicy 🥵🥵

[@climbjacksprat]

what a beautiful and creative friendship. Ones craft would pale without the other. Thank you for sharing each respective passion with each other and us

[@bananavolumes4653]

🥰🍌

[@whitey3017]

I'm about to learn building in my boulder gym, I'm very excited about it. Seeing Nikken enjoy his building gives me inspiration. I believe I'd do a good job in time and fall in love with building more than anything

[@KatherineAmi]

awwwwww it's good to see Nikken so happy and excited

[@pierremilot8117]

Dope, sick boulder

[@TheCureForInsanity]

Love the video, wonderful to see how excited and happy Nikken was to climb on these volumes!

[@epincion]

Great video, thanks to all at Banana Volumes & Eric for arranging the surprise for Nikken and us the viewer. Amazing how Nikken then so intuitively and quickly sets up a banger

[@ThatChristopher]

Another banger Eric, love the support you give your friends and giving Nikken even more brushes to paint with 🤙

[@kvasko2]

Nikken's reaction to the volumes feels like a child in Christmas + their birthday at once! Such a fun gift you coordinated, Eric

[@codyl417]

that second ending was sick! Really brought it to the next level!!

[@henderjenkins2467]

love these unique hold companies you're working with, keep em coming!

That spicy ending is so killer, much needed

[@konoryee4125]

So fun to see Nikken so happy and excited! Looks fun! Great work!

[@robertharmon5799]

Another amazing video, Eric. The editing and music choices really came together nicely and everything felt super fluid and cohesive throughout. A pleasure to watch!

[@MeatSauceLova]

That spicy ending was SIIIICK

[@KimAndrewsbykimbo]

I love how excited everyone is in this video. And the climbing is amazing, I lost count of how many times I thought "how the hell did he do that?!"

[@joakimbergstrom4347]

Well what everyone else said already: the videos the last few months have been so good. This one was brilliant. Loved the surprise gift element. It shows how genuinely happy Nikken is about setting routes. Love that happy nerdy shit! Keep it up Eric! Lovely stuff.

[@beinleif524]

Yet another masterpiece Eric and Nikken👌👏 so good!

[@dlbui]

Love the passion and psyche in this video, expecially from Nikken. Such a pleasure to watch. Great work, guys!

[@jordyypink]

earliest i ever been to an eric karlsson video

[@EricKarlsson]

feels good to have you here ;D

[@nilewow]

They should have designed in specific holes to bolt each stack together so you're not drilling screws into the same worn out holes over and over again as you change up the stacks.

[@gauseb]

The pure excitement, you gotta love it!!

[@quinnthompson]

Awesome, awesome episode. Ever since moving to this gym the episodes have been next level, you guys are crushing it. I've really enjoyed the vids! Thanks Eric, Nikken and team!

[@anelivb]

WOW! What an amazing episode! The joy Nikken displays says everything. You are such an amazing friend, Eric!

[@sauntgrodsmachine104]

I wish I still felt like I could still get as excited about things as kids...and Nikken...

[@wassillontherocks]

The best climbing channel, thank you for the upload frequency it makes my day to hangout with you guys for 20 minutes

[@manuelc5592]

To answer Nikken question at the end. I really really like everything you guys do! It was amazing seeing Nikken so psyched about the volumes. Felt like your birthday didn't it? Actually there is one thing I don't like, that's when it ends ^^

[@MiguelClimbs]

Ok now THAT is a massive dyno 😮. Super cool of you to gift those to Nikken dude! And sick angles in this vid as always 🤙.

[@chrisembryclimbing]

Only words that come to mind: pure love and epicness all around.

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

So good!!! Thanks for another banger guys 🤙

[@ReaperUnreal]

The smile on his face was so good.

[@Dave1507]

And he does that blind dyno in trainers and taped up gloves! Bigups Nikken :D

[@cheezyboy5752]

Nikken is exactly like a friend of mine. The excitement is so shameless I adore it! What an entertaining, chill and somehow also heartwarming video!

[@niklasrah]

Benji such a chilled guy :) Love the trio

[@Atoom98]

Such an awesome video. This makes we want to get into routesetting so badly but it is such a hard profession to get into sadly. Props to Nikken for making yet another masterpiece.

[@alexakten]

eric just dropping banger after banger

As always, such a delight to watch, can't wait for more !

Awesome episode!!! The channel has been amazing in the recent past Keep up the great work and enjoy

[@stanvandervoort2240]

I don't know man, every single episode you say it will be a special episode. You're right every single time!

[@hermannwigers8321]

They look so cool! But how does it work with the screws and screw holes? I can't imagine you can keep placing screws in the same holes too many times?

[@rails147]

I was asking me the Same thing! Maybe u have to keep them at wall for some time

[@xstream_secretz]

Was wondering the same as an amateur setter

[@mihkelhint]

I need to learn more about those taped gloves :D

[@svenningen]

The perfect video doesn't exi~ Well done you!

[@RobinsonRDavid]

OMG, this is so cool. Great energy throughout. So glad you're back Eric!

I have never wanted to climb a boulder more than this one!!! I really wish I could fly out there just to climb this!!

[@philipmack5668]

Can’t wait to watch once i get off work!

[@asonei3531]

[@el3xg373]

I just had a thought that makes me a bit concerned about the durability of the volumes: Everythime you make a stack, regardless how you put them together, the wood screws go in the same place in the volume below. Won't these specific spots wear out at some point? As in, the 10th or 15th time you put up a route with them, will there just be holes in the volumes where the screws would go? Keep in mind I'm not a route setter so I might be completely off here :)

[@hetistijmen]

Yeah this will happen, but you can fix wood much better than you can pu or pe. Volumes wear all the time, same with holds and even the wall itself eventually. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the screwholes are all a little offset. That way by swapping and turning the holes move a little bit, most of the time.

[@jobro296]

Also, it looked to me like the screwholes are slightly different on each face, so maybe they don't line up

[@bananavolumes4653]

Hey guys, we hope you like the video as much as we do! As many of you were wondering if stacking the volumes results in screwing into the same holes over and over again.

[@hetistijmen]

@@bananavolumes4653 Cool! I figured combinations would increase exponentially but 8000 variations is a lot. Can't wait until they're in a place where I can climb on them. Would you guys recommend fixing volumes with the toothpick trick? I've used it on furniture with lots of success but I don't reset enough to wear out my own volumes so I haven't been able to try it for myself.

[@lucasdevreese2265]

already a legendary video

[@TheJustinConnor]

Awesome as always!

[@christineholmberg7431]

Love seeing technical mantles in the gym! Sweet holds!

[@bjornoboy9637]

Banger after banger😎

[@yaldnif1438]

If it's still up I'd love to see someone start the problem feet first! Looks like you could do a handstand and do some wide pony in the crack between the first two stacks. Then just reach down and touch the black dome volume to get four points on the start holds

[@CameronWatkinsKerr]

Sick idea but the stack isn't a start hold so you couldnt use the crack

[@bretttaylor5851]

Need a routesetter vid from Nikken on his gear choices. I want those magnetic driver bits he has

[@Schrabba1]

I wish our boulder gym will use these volumes soon. Looks like so much fun and possibilities!

[@xyzNexus]

The final version of the boulder was so sick!

[@biobelette9305]

The "Nikken Chief Routesetter" serie is so wild!

[@valentin3867]

Love this kind of vids from you guys, already hyped for the next one 🔥

[@kanelaify]

For a moment I thought Nikken was about to ask the volumes to marry him, he looks so happy 😂

[@off-world-radio]

great episode. thanks for all the hard work x

[@JakeHerreramaybe]

Super cool boulder! Reminds me a lot of the mens final B4 that just happened in the SLC cup!

[@Pepinn]

such cool volumes, damn I wish my gym had these :D

[@333deejay333]

Awesome stuff, Eric :)) Really want those holds in my gym now! And Nikken to set them hehe. Btw, what grade was this boulder given? Really curious...

[@juliusremmlinger6868]

Thanks a lot guys! :)

[@espoirrance]

That's a BANGER !!

[@markusfinell]

How do the screws work on these holds? (on holds in general I guess) there are no holes in the top of the volumes, right? do you just screw right through the wood when you stack them?

[@macdewee]

Nice volumes, but I'm curious about one thing. While stacking the volumes, screws are going into the same place over and over again, so after multiple (few?) boulders, holes after screws will make it impossible to stack another volume. My question is how many time you can stack them before it happens? The question is more likely for the banana volumes team, but maybe someone will be able to extend my knowledge :)

[@macdewee]

Not sure about that, but as fair as I can see, screw holes are in different distance from the corners, what somehow mitigates my concerns

[@christineholmberg7431]

Def going to recommend more mantles in my gym.

[@johnosborn8881]

Anyone else absolutely love the video.... But super sad they don't get to climb on the masterpiece🥺

[@lukasvedalutnes4399]

Super sick!!

[@LioLenz_95]

I was about to say: man thas sick but a bummer that the rest of the volumes did not get used.... 5 secs later: spicy ending xDDDD good job guys. Nikken can you be ome my routesetting senpai

[@MaZeBooM]

Looks super nice! But im wondering how the spax-screwholds will hold when you chance them multiple times. Do they get worn out?

[@darrylbright9759]

Cool vid, very nice problem and holds… isn’t there a slight design fault with those holds though? as each level can be stacked and rotated if they screw together in the same place every time, you’re not going to be able to set/stack to many times until the screws don’t bite! Surely they would be better and last longer if they bolted to each other!!! Anyways loving the work x
