"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.

#introvert me too

[@TheBrotherPrime]

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

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.

[@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.

[@ronen6283]

[@pixlord9773]

@@powellcpr8747 what did he do wrong? Seems pretty normal to me lol?

[@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.

[@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)

[@zarajean31]

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

[@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.

[@slayeryo]

meme game on point as always david

[@jacobhuey4064]

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!

[@calebf6550]

Hell yer Dude from the riding to the content your killing it

[@noahoneil8717]

Can’t wait brother!!!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@parkerdixso8241]

Great video!! 👍🏻

[@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

[@sammcguire5897]

When i saw the title i thaught, you dont 😂😂 keep up the cool vids

[@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 😛

[@saltyspitoon9356]

Hi David love your videos

[@ehoppp]

It’s 2 am here. But I’m watching your vid. Because gang

[@aaronleghissa]

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

[@beanhedd]

Park sesh was sick

[@alphawolf2993]

thanks davie boy, just bought a waxing kit with no friggin idea how to use it

[@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!!!!

[@rafaeleleuterio5236]

From Brasil watching your vids

[@Kimber9758]

likes went from 1.8k to 1.9k when I clicked. that was oddly satisfying

[@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

[@Kylesmith-qc1bx]

I IR wax my snowboard, it shoots IR beems into the snowboard to heat it up then you apply wax and brush

[@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

[@zarajean31]

I love being early

[@Poodom]

I let my board's base sit in the sun for a bit beforehand, gets the pores warm. Also brushing after scraping.

[@kosycat1]

I always wait to scrape my board till im ready to shed as well!

[@patrikolsson297]

You got nice vidz!!! :)

[@jjf3934]

Just bought a waxing kit for 110$ looking forward to waxing my board and getting back out there

[@Michael10293]

i usually like to ride alone so ive never realized how slow i rly am. i went snowboarding with my friends today and could barely keep up until i tried a rental board. im def waxing it tm lol. i bought the board 2 years ago and have never waxed

Yes comrades rise

[@BuffaloSoja420]

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

Scrt scrt plz come back to the north Island 🌴 plzzzz we miss you my dude

[@zacmason]

haha bro very entertaining as always: QUESTION - Do you just re-wax ontop of whatever wax is left? ....or do you do a full clean and apply fresh wax..... keen to know bro :D love your work

[@samuelbarnes2914]

Coach Zac I’m 2 months late but there is a spray to remove old wax which is what I use. He didn’t use it in this video however it is a good idea to use it before applying new wax!

[@saltyspitoon9356]

To wax mine I heat up the board clean it and then I melt the wax on iron it around then let it dry scrape it then horse hair brush it then I’m done😁

[@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.

[@seizethemeans4963]

Do you de-tune your edges for riding park? I heard it makes rails a lot easier

[@Bruh.shirtzz]

Normal poeple:" so far" David:"so fer"

[@MrLTJefferson]

Where were the structuring pads David 🤔. Do you sharpen your edges much as well?

[@yodelinggiraffe9479]

[@hunterwright386]

Glad to hear!

[@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.

[@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...

[@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

[@schulznfels]

If know that you are running low on wax you can save the wax that you scrape off and reuse it.

[@Pansarpelle]

Pretty much the same but I brush before and after. And with a better setup. Not that it matters too much. Gotta protect the lower back ya know

[@hadhodwarax]

That’s crazy that’s where you get your water

[@xpelcapecod]

Need "Oof" stickers!!

[@jumallifan]

9:25 YOU JUST GOT.... OOFED

[@morguewhorepa]

I'm in management at a resort in the US... little tip... if your wax and/or iron are smoking... its way to hot buddy. You're burning the paraffins in the wax, which means it's not performing at it's best.

[@joel-pt6bk]

my dood. you should angle your scraper the other way so you are pushing the wax down into your board =]

[@lilliandybing1938]

With the second survey the which way do you wax your snowboard one my response is I am a skier so there

[@Pluhgins]

My friend used a hair dryer to wax his board

[@YuzukiEba]

No base cleaning before putting the wax in ?

[@jellofish1455]

3:29 it also helps if you are lactose intalerant

[@kahelekoki6215]

Dude include a water test on that spring water in one of your next videos because I think a lot of viewers can't believe that you don't have to get your water from the store and can't imagine drinking water that comes out of the ground

[@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?!

DAMN.

[@christophermatthews555]

David is woke!

[@ryanc1037]

I’ve had the metal from my bindings creat hot spots on my board from the shop not taking them off when waxed, it damaged my top sheet. I wax all my boards myself now.

[@JamesDavis-kp4ll]

Did you have Ride bindings, with aluminum baseplates, by chance, when that happened?

[@ryanc1037]

I had a pair of technines MFM white with the Denver nugget high back logo

[@leevi2138]

I always brush my board after waxing it

[@someusername121]

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.

[@matthewpowell1327]

Agreed Friend had a dirty looking board all season and we cleaned it fully just with a brass brush Wax stays on there for a long time I always brush
