Arsons video bro
Super helpful, I've just gotten into split boarding and this is a lifesaver.
So informative, thanks dude
This is a great video with so much info. For a n adult, 57 that's completely new. 5'9, 185 lbs, sz 11 boots what would you recommend? I've been looking at a Nitro Nomad?
What happens if you are almost 100 lbs over the recommended weight? Would something just break or just not last as long? The solids work to an extent like my proto fr 162DF but the life is reduced. What scares me is they are not as strong as a solid snowboard. Something snaps 12 hours from rescue in a blizzard that could be fatal.
Higher weight will put increased stress on all of the components/board and you will sink into the snow more because a smaller surface area means that you will apply a higher load to the snow when touring.
@@a-ronm4694 Im scared of them now the solids get weaker with every ride. Hit a rock that thing might break. Or just tear the clips out.
@@a-ronm4694 I don't want to end up like the titan passengers.
Sweet stuff. Thank you
Voile’s video (rebranded Pomoca) recommends NOT using “skin savers” for long term storage because of chemistry issues. They recommend glue-to-glue storage. Maybe that advice is specific to Voile-Pomoca skins, but I have to wonder if increased air exposure from the mesh accelerates glue oxidation and hardening? G3 recommends NOT applying skins to boards in a warm environment. G3 says it worsens skin performance through the day due to water trapping… but we all do it. I have no direct opinion. Thanks for your great tips. This may be the best skin handling video on RUclips.
This is incredibly helpful for a huge investment. Thank you!
I've come back to this video a few times. So many pro tips, I can't thank you enough. Cheers!
Great video 👍
how are weston skins
They're rebranded Pomoca skins so they're the best on the market really. The new tip and tail connections are really slick. I'm a big fan.
what poles? black crows?
Just the cheap BD ones that I modified by cutting 3/4 of the handle off and replacing it with cycling bar tape.
@@splitspecific1184 thanks. keep up the great videos. and they DONT need to be shorter man like them just how they are lol.
Very well put together video, I like that your way of speaking is clear and sound! Keep the good stuff coming!🙌
This was extremely informative. I want to get into the bc but curious if you have brand recommendations for women’s split boards? Any tips for someone who is an intermediate/advanced rider in general but super new to bc?
Off the top of my head, the brands offering a solid selection of women specific splitboards are Weston, Pallas, and Jones. The Weston Eclipse has been treating my wife really well. Thanks for the kind words as well!
Hey there thanks for this tutorial, very helpful. I’d have a question about the size of these G3 Skins you use, I’ve got a 2022 Jones Solution 161 so I’m kind in the middle of their S/M (ranging from 144 to 162) and the M/L (fitting 154 to 172 boards). Which size should I pick?
I typically go for the smallest size I can fit on a board to save weight and to reduce friction when sliding the ski uphill. That said the bigger skin will have just a bit more surface area which could help if you're worried about your skinning technique or you're new to skinning.
What do you recommend for length compared to board length
Interesting, I’ve never had an issue with the wire tip connection but have broken the tip plastic piece on the g3
Do you typically mark the left and right skin or is it obvious enough that you can quickly identify the proper skin for each half of the board.
Good video, thanks for the info. Talk about that carbon backwoods next! Liking it so far?
Hi and thanks for the video! I got G3 skins that look just like yours and I notice there's a small portion at the tail that is uncovered. With mine the portion left uncovered is 32 cms long, isnt that too much??
Super helpful stuff, thanks! Finally getting a splitboard setup this year after wanting to get into it for years. So stoked! I just bought the 2021 G3 grip skins because they were on sale. Then I started reading reviews about the glue being bad and I got worried... what you said at the end about glue was reassuring! I'm sure if I take care of them they should be fine!
Thanks for this! Lots of good tips here. Learned some new ones!
Things that are not covered that I consider important when choosing a splitboard (this video is mostly about choosing a "freeride board" without much "split" specifics): 1. Clips/hardware - you might notice companies like Jones or Weston use Karakoram clips (the best so far) and some other companies use Union/Spark/Phantom. Turns out the ease of use and how strong clips hold two pieces together matters a lot. 2. Inner edge shape - the majority are just straight line but some are more "S" shaped. 3. Skins connection type - some splitboards like Nitro use a "hole" to mount skins. Some are more suitable for Jones-like skin connectors and some work better with G3-like skin connectors. 4. Top sheet "stickiness" - the less sticky it is the less snow you will carry uphill, and sticky top sheet could add 1-2 kg of snow that you need to scrape every time. 5. Whether a splitboard is desinged to be a splitboard or it is just a popular version of a regular snowboard that is cut in two pieces. and maybe more...
Have you ever ridden the Weston hatchet? What is it best for?
That's the only board in their lineup I haven't been on. But it's mostly tailored towards freestyle in the backcountry, especially in powder. Dropping cliffs, spins, etc. If you're looking for something more all-mountain I'd look into the backwoods. That one is my favorite. The ridgeline is great as well, but a little more hard charging and less forgiving at slow speeds.
This was friggin helpful. Watched the whole thing. Cheers!
I got my first split this year. A G3 black sheep which I have actually really enjoyed so far.
Somebody get this guy a beer!
Had a heady topper last night so that was special.
Awesome info, thanks for going so in depth. I’m looking to get more into split boarding. What is a good option for a first timer trying to get out to try it? I live in the northeast US and dont really know anyone who goes into the backcountry
Thanks for the kind words! I actually grew up in the NE and started splitboarding there so it is possible! First for a setup I would just get whatever you can within your budget that's similar in size/shape to what you ride at the resort. If thats a used board so be it, if it's a $1k carbon board than go for that. From there the best thing to do to start figuring it out is skinning at your local resort. Doing that chances are you meet folks who are doing the same thing and eventually find a network of partners to explore out from there. And obviously a level 1 avalanche course somewhere in that time. Me personally I grew up near buffalo NY and went to college in the Adirondacks. I started splitboarding out there by going with friends to the local cut glades on mountains and touring up at whiteface ski resort. There are lots of locations that have similar access in Vermont and New Hampshire as well. Hope that helps!
Cool host! What is the ability to handle some small jumps?
Might even go for a big one every now and again!
Dude, you're awesome. This was one of the best, most informational videos I've seen on any topic. Kudos and thank you so much for the into
Thanks so much!
Very good explained
Good info dude! Looking forward to the hardboot content :) about to make the transition!
Thanks! Really stoked to put some hardboot beta into the world soon!
awesome! wish I had seen this before I recently made my big purchase, but you confirmed my decisions after ridiculous hours of looking at boards! Especially to do with the relationship between length of board and effective edge. I have ordered a 160 Weston Backcountry for its wide shape for my size 11 feet, playful sidecut and flex, and because of its short tail it has a solid effective edge length for the hard windblown snow that we have to negotiate in Aotearoa (NZ) to find our pow! thanks for making this : )
Appreciate all the kind words and glad it all worked out for you! I think for an 11 boot the 160 backwoods is a great choice for blending all those size considerations. Enjoy some turns this season!
