Fragile Italian Glass Snowboard: Every Third Thursday
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 фев 2013
- For this month's episode, Signal Snowboards' Founder Dave Lee leaves the factory to travel across the sea to an Italian glass factory to create a handmade glass snowboard-the most delicate build to date! The glass snowboard is cut, pressed, tempered, and ever so carefully transported to the slopes. Signal Snowboards Italian team rider Giorgio "Iannino" Morell takes it for the all important test ride at Abetone ski resort in Tuscany. See how this glass artwork performs under pressure-will it slide or shatter?
Check back every third Thursday of the month for another custom snowboard build from Signal Snowboards.

why not Titanium Plexi-Glass? stronger, flexible..more pressure resistant...
would be cool to incorporate a LED glow, so it looks like a hover jet type glide, lol
MAD MAX a
MAD MAX ya
Because they could
You're on to something there bud.
Omg brother
1st thought: Why would you ride that work of art?. 2nd thought: How could you resist
snelso80 3rd thought is breaking glass on a snowy mountain a good idea.
You should make a quartz board (or other piezoelectric material) and have the edges lined in LEDs so that when you are changing pressure on the board it lights up around the edges. There would be no need for any batteries. It would be cool.
Or have this as a boarding trophy for a competition. Would be sick
that board is gorgeous, I want one just to hang on my wall, you could also give them away as trophies in comps, it would be so cool
AkhmenHotep I was thinking the same thing
Yo Mr. White!!! You cooked a killer snowboard Mr. White!!
For the ones saying "you could have used this material and that component" did you understand this is a challenge and not the best way to build a snowboard? 😂
Ya, but regardless, it just gave people the idea and it would be awesome to try.
"Fra-gi-le...must be italian"
CHRISTMAS STORY
I LOVE THAT MOVIE
Best movie ever
It's not christmas yet im sad
yes sir : )
2:34 whip game strong
snowbordersrock dying
There were some sections of the mountain that were icy and it held a good edge.
im glad he was so chill about letting the italian dood ride it, break it, and not even trip, he was truly happy and grateful, nice guy
Fiat Multipla... Seriously!?
exactly my thoughts
Parcours97 its the best car ever😂😂❤️❤️❤️
@@marnix9818 Yoy made so many mistakes in a word "ugliest"
Si, fa schifo come auto (only for italian)
You know when ever someone ever calls my car the ugliest I always show a pic of that Fiat. Works every time.
that thing was a wall hanger bra
That is simply insane. I LOVE IT!
I can imagine what the manufacturers were saying. "What kind of dumbass would have us make their snow board out of glass?" "A paying dumbass, keep cutting."
i'm not a snowboarder, but i can totally feel the vibe of riding a glass snowboard. i was just watching a video of them riding it and i kept getting chills down my spine expecting the darn thing to break and the feeling of exhilaration when he was going down those mountains. Imagine the feelings you'd get actually riding that!
Thanks! We appreciate your support. And no worries on signing up. It's fairly new and hoping we'll continue it for every season! Just keep a look out.
next is snowboard made of air.
Great episode! Nice to see some high end Italian manufacturing...
Huge thanks to everyone for all the love on this episode! This show is all about pushing the boundaries as far as we can, making the impossible possible or the ridiculous, well, even more ridiculous sometimes. It's all in the name of good fun, adventure and exploration. When you dive into a new idea with no fear of failure, it's an incredible feeling whether a concept works or not.
Network A-thanks for showing the songs at the end and they also went well with the video also really really good editing the best I have ever seen
0:38 my dream car❤️
Re try this but with plexiglass ... Like the glass they put around hockey arenas... I think it would work a lot better
Agreed
Yeah guys do it! it wouldn't crack as easily.
RideBikes That would just be a transparent snowboard as its almost the same material
+RideBikes That would be so flexible though.
+Ryan O'Connell in the cold it might not
I'm impressed at how sturdy it is. I thought it would break right away. It looks like it has some flexibility.
That board needs to be in the Museum of Modern Art !
Make a plexiglass board
+RandomSauce28 I work at a glass shop. Plexiglass is prone to breaking like normal glass. You could use Polycarbonate which is an acrylic material but doesn't break anywhere near as easily as normal acrylic such as plexiglass. Not sure if you could get the stiffness needed to ride but possibly laminating it could help.
Wait, what's the point of plexiglass then?
+Spiked Blueshell small shatters.... safer
Wont cut you, and cheaper to produce.
Mix this with the heated board
great drifting, great camera angles, awesome video.
But it looks so much cooler filled with cracks and character. That's a beauty to put on the wall, and a story for all time.
Imagine him dropping it at the start 😂😂
Lol I'd like to see a diamond snowboard now O.o. Cool board.
Impressive as hell... Good Job!
I was on the edge of my seat the whole video! I'm totally jealous and wish I had a job like you guys!
try bullet proof glass
+Susan Woodring But that's like 6 inches thick...
+TrophyT_RC XD
+Yang pisssssss
+Yang pisssssss
+Katharina Ming HISSSSS idk why there are reptilians here...but I love it!
That looks great, could you do that with acrylic? Maybe that might last longer
These are some of the best videos I've seen. Just entertainingly fun. I appreciate the fun you guys are having doing them, but also the amount of work and cooperation that must as well. Cheers!
That is the most amazing thing I have ever in my entire life seen!!
what u need to do is incorporate the glass board with heated borad inlay the heating element like the defroster on ur car
That way it would melt the snow under you, thus making you go faster too! genius!
it would shatter immediately when you put it in the snow. Glass does not go well with the combination of hot and cold
what you need to do is SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY !
@@phonebush slight heat
@@phonebush within limits, or using a heat resistant glass
High static friction, low kinetic friction
I Just love Abetone ❤️
Man, stoked that he didn't hold back on just letting loose on that board. It held up considerably well I think!
Use acrylic glass. It could work without breaking.
It is not hard to think about that.
TheJo010 Acrylic glass is a thought, but I don't know how slippery it would be. Some plastics just stick to the snow like a cheese grader.
would not be as cool though.
4:25 I couldnt even see the board xD
I hate snowboarding. I can say i sure did enjoy watching the process of creating an exceptionally cool piece of style, practicality, and art. Creating new concepts like this is what industrial design is all about. Great work.
That's it, it seals the deal, you guys are my FAVORITE snowboard manufacturer. If I could go back in time, I would buy one of your park series intead of my skate banana. I REALLY wish I had enough money to do this because it is an awesome deal and I want to support you guys. If i knew about this a little earlier, I would have kept that $600 that I spent on bettering my computer and signed right up for this.
you guys need to heat the glass board.
Wasnt aware there was such a thing as transparent aluminum...
Glad you guys are liking the music. Wildcat Strike and Francisco the Man are the bands in this episode.
Thats the coolest board they have made yet...great job!
2019 anyone?
at the very end he shouildve done a really hard boardslide on a rail just to destroy it
This made me smile.
that board is gorgeous!
Why not non-fragile glass? Plexi glass of sorts?
Plexiglass is plastic, it would work but would miss the point
***** The thought the point was see-through. At least that's what I think it awesome about the board :P
Hezekiah Domowski I'd say the whole point is that it is made from such an unlikely material. If you just want clear then Polycarbonate (Lexan) would be a better material as Acrylic (Perspex, plexiglass) is actually very brittle.
Plexiglass is fragile
The Song is Wildcat Strike- Lloyd Braun i've finally found it.
you could have just looked at the credits at the end. great song
No, it's Darude - Sandstorm
Oh...okay yeah it is. I'm sorry. Thanks!
Thanks so
this is hands down the best ETT.
This is incredible!
make a board completely out of a two part resin, or any resin
+BlackScorpion EpicVids That's the first thing I thought of so it looks almost identical but doesn't break. Should slide about as good, but I know nothing about snow, so I can't say for sure.
+BlackScorpion EpicVids Depending on the resin, it would be just as fragile, unless you add fibres or another internal structure. Which would negate the transparency.
Nag you could do a clear apoxy resi. Mixture
BlackScorpion EpicVids Bruh, epoxy can't really be used without a support to adhere to, and it would cure by itself into something that wouldn't have much structural integrity. It's really good for supporting an existing structure, but by itself, nobody really uses it like that cos it isn't feasible :L
oh ok my bad *****
best car
kappa
I don't know anything about snowboarding, but that looks pretty freaking sweet.
it looks awesome
I'm cringing at the thought of the guy going over a rail, and the board shattering down the middle and having shards of razor sharp broken glass fly up his legs and crotch as he falls victim to gravity, going down hard on the rail.
That's impossible, that's why they temper it. So when it shatters you don't get huge, dangerous pieces of glass shredding crotches. :P
oh thank god!
aniki91344 also the laminate they put in between the two sheets keeps all the little bits together just like your car windshield
I wonder how much that board costs to make....
I don't know, but they should TAKE MY MONEY! :P

Sebastian F. haha
i love that guy's enthusiasm
SO sick! Well done Signal, always keeping it authentic and OG!
songs?
Yeah man J P dude I’m trying to find the song it’s torturing me
@@Ethan.Murphy2003 Incase you never found it dude, Wildcat Strike - Lloyd Braun
Make a board using a skate board
Then it's just a skateboard on snow lol.
+Ben Ridgeway that's the point.
Such a beautiful board
I've been to that factory before! It's awesome!
He didn't even get to try the board. I bet he was pissed
but this board is one of the most amazing boards you've done.
Incredible!
That would be such a sick board!
That is insane!
Yeah Dave, super cool project. Well done.
Great concept. Looks like you had a lot of fun :)
Amazing videi, and Thanks for subtitles!
Brings new meaning to "glassy conditions"
DAVE LEE did the best frontside rodeos!
So SICK!!!
Awesome vibe!
That real sick guys!
I want this and to make it a coffee table or hang it up like a piece of art haha. So awesome.
So cool!
That was awesome.
That was awesome. Nice one, fellas.
That was amazing
beautiful snowboard.
I am not a snowboarder, but this was unbelievably cool! Thank you!
That's beautiful
That was badass ...
its just so awesome for people to have careers like that. they see such awesome places. now that's a dream job :)
Bella tavola!🇮🇹
Superb Video!
Seems like a great start to an amazing idea. I think glass boards will become more common in the future. They still need to perfected.
This is awesome
great stuff guys
There will never be progression without these kinda experiments. I'd buy one and throw it on my wall foo shooo
Tat was pretty cool. It would be an awesome piece of wall art!!
This is about as exciting as watching paint dry!
This was an awesome video!
