Bomb Hole Tours the CAPiTA MotherShip

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Thanks for the visit Bombhole. We'll leave your key fobs active, door open anytime.

[@HoldenBarth]

Love Blue's explanation about not detuning your edges at 35:32

[@Jacob-hc1fo]

I spent a summer working at c3 it was one of the best jobs and experiences I’ve had. Love capita and union

[@TheBombHole]

That rules! Shout out to the CAPiTA and Union family!

[@TheCollinsherlock]

Absolutely loved this! I have been wanting a better behind the scenes look at the Mothership since they built it. Easy to see why Capita makes the best boards!

[@TheBombHole]

Stoked to give the behind the scenes of the MotherShip

[@bubbler9583]

Really impressive to see ownership being so plugged in on the ground level. Goes without saying the facility is incredible. Makes me feel proud to be on an aeronaut this season.

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Appreciate the support!

[@napaznapalmm6796]

I am impressed (positively). I still ride a 2009 youngblood but after this video i decided to try a Capita! Good attitude deserve appreciation

[@TheBombHole]

We think you'll be stoked! Snowboards have come a long way in the past 15 years!

[@napaznapalmm6796]

@TheBombHole Just 2 more weeks and i am ready to be stoked! I will go to Cervinia, snowboard Tour festival with lots of board :D

[@playeralv]

Love the video guys! That was fantastic! We need a kevin backstrom episode!

[@TheBombHole]

Thanks for watching and stay tuned 😎

[@paintballpro830]

As an engineer I really appreciate companies leveraging tech like this to make a better product. It’s also nice to see a product in this industry not being made in a modified garage. Great video. Please visit more factories and do more of these videos.

[@joshuabrorby8265]

7 minute mark - Capita Unorthodox. Was one of my unicorns for quite sometime, nostalgia piece from Afterlame. Long story short, I was lucky enough to buy one new in wrapper about 10 years after it was released from a local snowboard shop. You heard that right 10 years after it was released, was still in a snowboard shop and minty fresh. I've only mounted it once, may have to pick a day this year and take it for a few more laps.

[@TheBombHole]

That’s so rad! That board is iconic!

[@jm3262]

What a score! 🤙🏼

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Absolute gem of a find!

[@noptimized]

That's amazing luck! I found an Unorthodox in a sports consignment store for $30. I couldn't believe it. It was in excellent condition, and with several era-correct stickers on it, too. Just a couple of years before, I'd had a brand new Black Death Speed Tribe stolen, so I'd like to think that was the universe giving me something back.

[@joshuabrorby8265]

@noptimized I think that's one of the reasons the unorthodox hasn't seen much snow time. Way to paranoid of someone knowing its value and swiping it. Most the people that ride at my local hill are relatively clueless, but even so I think that board wouldn't leave my sight during breaks. Stoked to hear you found one as well!

[@oldmanwintereight]

Seeing these vids never gets old. While the basic process of building a board is very similar it’s awesome to see all the innovations each company has!

[@TheBombHole]

Totally! Amazed by all the new board technology they're cooking up in the Mothership

[@josephlara2339]

I will always support Capita and Union

[@noptimized]

This was an amazing and thorough tour of the Mothership, and I still have so many questions. I think I'll just have to visit one day. I've also bookmarked this video so I can watch it again every month or so.

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Love to hear it. Let us know if you come visit Austria someday!

[@jihadpierce]

How awesome! Love that the Warehouse operates 100% on reusable energy! That is so powerful! Heard Chris mention that in one of the podcast episodes & that alone made me want to get a Capita board & it’s really cool to see & hear all about that first hand in the Mothership from the Founder of the company! Just got into snowboarding last season & my first board is a Nidecker Play, my next board will most certainly be Capita!! Thanks a lot Chris & The Bomb Hole squad for sharing this special experience with us all!! 🙏🏾🤙🏾

[@ChefBrian1]

That's a big nice burgundy snowboard, yew!

[@TheBombHole]

👀

[@CAPiTAcinema]

🧐

[@82tctube]

Get that in production!

[@DeepPowder19]

Trendy to say it, but for the past 6 years, the DOA has made me fall in love with riding all over again. That board has been on many flights and seen many places - and rightfully so.

[@Haik86]

Makes me wanna buy capita board... I will, actually.

[@M.Mae.M]

Its amazing to see how far the tech has come in 40 years!

[@TheBombHole]

It’s awesome! Even in the past 10 years snowboards have changed so much!

[@m1andonlytwice]

Always seen and loved the brand/riders. Never bought. After this is will be purchasing- been never summer and academy for the last decade due to ethical company. Y’all are crushing it! Great work and epic content here.

[@Briefsquad]

As a shop tech that sold Capita I always wanted to visit the Mothership. Thank you!

[@TheBombHole]

Glad we could take our audience on tour with us!

[@aaroncrane5037]

Quality and Craftsmanship appreciation.

[@jplpagan]

That was really amazing, guys. As someone who sells and rides Capita, I knew some of this stuff but you guys (sorry to be cheesy) really brought it to life. I'm blown away and may never look at my Capita boards the same way again.

[@TheBombHole]

Thanks for watching and stoked you learned new things about CAPiTA's board production!

[@robertkeller2309]

I am so stoked to have watched this. Its super cool to learn about the quality commitment that Capita has made

[@TheBombHole]

They’re all about making the best snowboards possible!

[@michaelpeternixon]

That the hallway of iconic snowboards leading to the "Everything is Possible" message begins with the original KJ model is mega high tribute. All hail Stompy Chan

[@TheBombHole]

That hallway is an awesome timeline of CAPiTA's history!

[@mattmitchell794]

Capita is the best, love the work ethic for making good boards and I love riding them

[@TheBombHole]

CAPiTA is all about making high quality boards!

[@mattsmotomanual9502]

I just finished my engineering degree and about to move to Austria to do a season. U bet I’ll be getting a capita board but man does this make me want to stay and get a job at the mother ship

[@ryanmcshane9835]

right on!

[@ArctikMonkee]

W Capita. Still riding my CAPiTA Supernova from 2017, still going strong!

[@jorg7765]

great view on how a board is built. Really cool to get so close. Thx to Capita and the Bomb Hole 👌👌🤙🤙

[@TheBombHole]

Absolutely fantastic video ! I'm glad I'm riding Capita boards ! Best quality in the biz !

[@tippss3332]

Great vid. Always wanted the insider on the " mothership". Good to see a company with its own factory. A lot of brands are outsourced to different manufacturers. No bueno!!!! Cheers boys!!!!

[@TheBombHole]

Thanks for watching!

[@tippss3332]

Love the channel!!!!!

[@adambalon]

One of the coolest places I’ve ever visited. 💚

[@TheBombHole]

Such a rad space!

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Time for another visit Adam!

[@Justaride-Snowboard-Channel]

Chris, you gotta link this video permanently to the 'Why are snowboards so expensive' clip! That'll finish the conversation right there... ;-)

[@shredtabulous]

Capita x Union has to be the best snowboard brand out there, in every single way!

[@cameronsawchuk7842]

This is awesome. Thank you guys for this!!

[@TheBombHole]

Thank you for watching it!

[@jm3262]

This tour was great! I had no idea how much goes on. 🤙🏼

[@TheBombHole]

Hopefully it gives everyone a better understanding of what goes into making a snowboard!

[@thezombiebiker]

So awesome, this whole video. Blue is so cool. What a rad company!

[@TheBombHole]

Blue rules! If you haven’t already, check out our full podcast with him!

[@thezombiebiker]

@ it’s such a good episode. I live in Washington and camp/ride hood in the summer, so when Blue talked about it being part of the snowboard culture experience it really hit home ♥️

[@cedlouis]

EPIC video Chris and team! Also, congratulations on the Bomb Hole board graphic!!

[@TheBombHole]

Much love!

[@RockstarEnergy]

Stoked we got to go on the tour and Blue and the crew could give us all the details of what goes into making boards at The MotherShip!

[@jade8245]

[@CAPiTAcinema]

That's awesome to hear, glad you were stoked on the inside look!

[@ieatants888]

Fall 2025 is already in production you say... Spill the tea on the Torstein model!

[@TheBombHole]

[@TheBombHole]

Thanks for watching! Just want to give you all some more knowledge on how boards are made!

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Thanks for checking it out. Makes us want to keep finding new ways to push the design and production.

[@TheBombHole]

So rad to take a tour!

[@TheChriszimmer36]

Blue is the man

[@TheBombHole]

Blue rules!

[@fizzled95]

One of only a few brands that finishes the base in a stone grinder for a structure.

[@jakejones5991]

I still have the original Ultrafear. Awesome board. Regret selling my 07 Stairmaster. Love Capita.

[@TheBombHole]

Those OG Ultrafears were iconic!

[@CAPiTAcinema]

Hold on to that Ultrafear! Great board, thanks for the support!

[@jakejones5991]

[@dixonmay]

love you so much, tour was awesome, please get some LAV mics!!

[@TheBombHole]

Really just gotta remind Chris he can clip the mic to his shirt haha

[@PatrickDelorenzi]

That was sick! Please do more with other brands, bindings boots outerwear etc

[@TheBombHole]

Hopefully we can do more tours in the future!

[@BoardinorBored]

I want to buy a Capita now.

[@TheBombHole]

New CAPiTA boards from The MotherShip are now available in shops and online!

[@CAPiTAcinema]

🙏

[@MarkPemble]

Love the Key FOB

[@TheBombHole]

Those key cards are key haha

[@Ryabetic]

Dig this kind of content. Would love a Mervin factory tour as well as a Mike Olson interview!

[@TheBombHole]

That would be rad!

[@rideboards]

100,000 boards holy smokes

[@TheBombHole]

They make a LOT of boards at The MotherShip

[@elliotduncanfilms2882]

I bought a 2024 Mercury a couple weeks ago and wow it rips

[@TheBombHole]

Love that, great board!

[@Runetone]

if i remember correctly. almost all edges skies and snowboard. Are made in austria

[@codyhaupt8036]

What kind of spray was used on the top sheet around the 33.36 mark?

[@LooGanida]

When I worked at Rev/Hard 8 I grabbed a Kevin Jones top sheet. Had it for years then lost it. 😢

[@LooGanida]

So happy to see how far Blue has gone!!

[@TheBombHole]

Bummer about losing that topsheet

[@LooGanida]

@@TheBombHole definitely. Would be a sick piece of history to have now.

[@WAco-se9wf]

I still own the sleepy stevens board !!

[@TheBombHole]

It's a classic!

[@Jrod32391]

Homie wasn’t playing on the messing with your edges lol

[@X739LEG]

i spy with my lil eye..... oh man 2025 is going to be big time. OGSS.

[@cdbarry]

This video feels like a homework assignment

[@sablinger]

i remember some FORUM Pro Models were made here before until 2002 under the old press

[@TheBombHole]

Yup!

[@Deejmust]

Curious, they do have a small soft food market like hoodies and shirts, are those also produced at mothership?

[@CAPiTAcinema]

We don't produce softgoods at The Mothership, only snowboards.

[@erikjohnsen2411]

Can I buy a bomb hole snowboard? just ordered a new board for this year, first one in 10 years. Old is a marhar out of michigan. Now i got the aeronaut. 100 times out of 10 i would buy that burgundy beauty.

[@TheBombHole]

Stay tuned for all the details about the CAPiTA Nice Burgundy Snowboard coming soon!

[@beezwaks]

Looking at the quality control- How much of the efficiency and environmental friendly stuff gets negated by small cosmetic blemishes?

[@CAPiTAcinema]

As we track all phases of a board's production with NFC chip technology, we're able to identify, correct or even prevent issues early in the process minimizing scrap. For the few boards that make it all the way to the end with a blemish, (like the one in the video), "scrap" just means it won't be sold to end consumers. Boards like this are used for team riders, donations to non-profit or school snowboard programs, and sometimes on snow demos. So there's still a positive product life outside of sales channels.

[@jplpagan]

awww yeaaaahhhhh 😂

[@TheBombHole]

Oh yeah! Hyped to tour the Mothership!

[@AVEmore]

Where do the wood cores come from? Are those outsourced?

[@CAPiTAcinema]

We source a large majority of bulk wood regionally. These come in logs, which are cut into strips and glued into blocks locally, then all milling required to transition into snowboard wood cores is handled in-house at The MotherShip.

[@davekal]

Working in a manufacturing factory, watching a manufacturing factory. Inception.

[@TheBombHole]

The plot thickens haha

[@dannypaulinosb]

when is the bomb hole board coming out?

[@TheBombHole]

Soon! Stay tuned to our social media for updates on the Big Nice Burgundy snowboard

[@drivecalgary6095]

I like made in Canada boards like KNWN Manufacturing and made in USA like Lib.

[@Ryabetic]

17:00 hmmmm do I sense a big nice burgundy snowboard teaser?

[@ArctikMonkee]

ps; I'll happily take a "scrap" board LOL

[@Liltoomuchsauce]

How do I get a big nice burgundy snowboard?

[@TheBombHole]

Stay tuned to ours and CAPiTA's social media for updates on the Big Nice Burgundy snowboard!

[@KLYCHVV]

Please somebody ask Blue about topsheet. why it so weak and edges break down so fast? It happen with doa and mercury every time.

[@shredtabulous]

Is there a snowboard outwear company that is owned and operated in a similar way?

[@AvRagExPhoenix]

Cool to see how many women employees they have

[@bluntdaddy794]

scotty stevens board best snowboard on the market

[@TheBombHole]

Great board!

[@69Clay420]

Hopefully they give those boards away that don’t make the Final Cut to someone

[@TheBombHole]

For the few boards that make it through the whole production process with a blemish, like the one in the video, "scrap" means it won't be sold to retail customers. CAPiTA uses the "blem" boards for team riders, donations to non-profit programs and sometimes demos.
