So say I haven’t done this since 1997...
You ain’t alone lol
So how does it affect your riding if you don’t do it?
@@danpacheco1less control when turning/carving
Great video. I actually understood what I'm trying to do when tuning. All these articles and other videos only made little sense.
Him: “If you rode your board for 30 days you’re probably going to need to tune you’re board”
Me: *hasn’t tuned board since 2016*
👋 me
I started on that kemper 175😂
When I was 13 in 1991🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips been awhile✊🏼
Hitting up Mount Baker tomorrow🥷🏽
That’s some Zeb levels of size haha, have a good day shredding🙌🏻
My board is 12years old and ny edges have been sharpened once 😅 cause the tuning shops always tell me I don't need to. But I think I do. So. I'm glad you do this every 7 days of riding, I know I'm not crazy asking for it every year. I'm just gonna do it myself.
That's awesome!
Just like here, I use diamond stones on my board's side and base edges as well, but only with edge guides that maintain the stone at a fixed angle to the edge... I'm paranoid that I'll create weirdly inconsistent bevel along my edges from the slightly wavering positioning of my hand otherwise.
@TurboDuckHeadHD In HD Well, for base edge I use a Beast 1 degree base edge beveler and for sides I use an SVST pro-edge beveler 91. So basically together they maintain a 90-degree edge that's slightly beveled. They seem to work great for me, anyway.
Thank you and thank you TH-cam! Where were you 10 years ago, lol... amazing what you can learn in 10 min
Glad he helped! He's been around that long believe it or not. :)
He was here on TH-cam 10 yrs ago! Huge respect for what Nev has built with snowboard addiction
I bought this for my 6 year old son. He is super excited to try it out, but unfortunately we have not yet gotten snow to do so. It seems to fit will and I like everything is adjustable.
Great video. What about magne traction edges? Do you have some tips or tools which you can recommend?
Best tuning video on TH-cam!
When the camera zoomed on the board i actually tried to blow the dust off the board... Brain fart lol
What grade of diamond stone do you recommend? Or do you recommend a particular make/model? Cheers!
This helps sooo much. I been trying to find a good way to tune my board
Nice, glad to hear it helps. We are going to do more of this quick style tutorials if our customers find it useful
Nev Lapwood you should definitely do more of these vids. They really help a lot!
You have given me and my son so much. Thank you
Our pleasure!!
Look at 7:11 the water container landed on its cap
Simply amazing
lmao 🤣
You are the best. All your Videos are Super!!! Thank youuuuu!!!
Hello, thanks for the video, I would like to use a guide so not to mess up with the angle. If the board is 1/1 tuned, would you use a 89 degres guide for the side edge?
Great find. Costs the same as a standard edge tuner but more effective. 👍
Great video! Simple and informative!
Do you not suggest using an angle when you use the diamond stone?
Holy cow and there I was debating with my snowboard tool that offers 90 to 88 degrees why to use and you just do it free hand 😂
Love your videos took a week to sit down and watch your videos and did my first ride ever yesterday. Thanks for the tips. Subbed and liked
tips on detuning for spring season, specifically park riding? is getting rid of burrs still necessary? round it off with file? leave it be? much appreciated!
What grit do you use?
Yea id like to know also
Bump
Great explanation. Thanks for posting!
Nev Lapwood is good with snowboards
What a beautiful garage.
Are you more likely to catch and edge and split your board if you don’t keep your edges in good shape?
Great video!! I'd love to see more tuning vids. And maybe some videos on traveling/storing your board (racks, bags, going through airports, etc.). Have fun out there!
@@SnowboardAddiction i was advised to do a storage wax over the summer, as i can't afford a new board every season.
I worked in the industry for years, here’s my $.02:
Only rack company that’s worth looking at IMO is Thule. They’re expensive but worth it.
Get a bag with built in boot pockets. Dakine & Burton tend to be my recommendations but it’s worth buying something quality. The cheap ones will have zippers popping off within a couple years. Roller bags are heavy and awkward to handle, IMO not worth the extra $$ and weight.
Flying with a board is easy, especially Southwest. Process is the same as a regular suitcase except there’s usually an oversize area you pick up & drop off at. Just make sure your board + boot bag weight is combined under 50lbs. Most airlines have the same policy, your board bag & boot bag count as 1 bag. Fill your board bag w/ your riding gear then you can use a carry-on suitcase for your regular clothes.
Get a rubber mat (old doormats/car mats work great) to stand on when taking your boots on/off. It’s a clean surface that’s better than standing in the snow/dirt/slush.
Mate you’ve got an epic shed full of kit! Love it :)
Is there any concern about tuning the base edge that your base might get damaged? I have a tuning tool that I’m unsure about using because I don’t want to damage the base
not really. 1st loosen bindings so the heat of waxing doesn't make dimples, then clean the wax off, do the edges, then structure, wax, scrape and clean the edges of wax, tight the bindings and get some good lean going with the back of the binding leaning forward a bit. ride.
Thanks for tip. There are a lot of stones on Amazon. Could you please advise which grit and size is fine?
Did you find a good one?
@@doyouevennaturebro4593 not yet actually. OMG, year ago )
@@aserrrrrrrrr haha that happens. I’m having the same issue. There are so many on amazon and I don’t want a crappier one so I don’t mess up my board.
Hi, Nev. WOuldn't your edges be slightly catchy now on boxes? DO you slightly detune your contact points?
It would only be catchy on a grippy/icy/unsmooth box which you shouldn’t boardslide regardless
Do you tune edges before waxing your board of after? It would make more sense to me to do it before waxing
Probably doesn’t matter since it doesn’t mess with the base
Great video Nev, thanks for sharing! What number of a diamond stone are you using?
Medium grade, I don't know the number sorry
@@SnowboardAddiction No worries, thanks a lot for the reply. You are my fav person on youtube, thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
thanks man. I started riding in woods this season and now my edge is in terrible shape
Great informative video. Just wanted to clarify one thing, on your previous video with "underground tuning" he mentions always to finish with the diamond stone flat against the edge rather than on the bottom to ensure your edges are pointing downward. Is this the correct way to tune your edges? I ride 50% park % 50% mountain if that helps. Thanks!
I want the same
As Nev mentioned in the video, with this board he is in the park a lot. That's why his board has a neutral edge so he doesn't catch it on boxes and stuff.
you have a link to the diamond stone tool you used?
What do you do if there are Knicks from rocks on the metal ?
What number of grit did you use for diamond stone?
Should you detune your magnatraction edge & how?
What's the diamond grit you use?
dude great video!
Thanks
Should I try doing this for rusty edges?
"How to tune your snowboard" "Bring it to a snowboard tuning shop" .... WOW thanks for this insightful information.
Aren't you worried about shaving of your base too? You can see the white tracks of the stone on the base directly. Or is that simply gone after a wax job?
we all love you maan.
It was my second season of riding and I rented this board. It already had wax issues(it looked like they didn't scrape it off), they waxed it again for me after that. On the last they we stopped for my dad to get the car to get back home to the hotel and I just cut my whole hand palm right open witht the edge of my snowboard, without wearing any gloves. I am never doing that.
TH-cam subtitles thinks he’s saying “birds” when he’s really saying “burrs” and it’s really funny 😂
Lol, yeah the autogenerated captions on this one seem to be way off!
reasons why tuning board edges begin at 7:55
What about gummy stone? When is it needed?
I believe when you have rust on the edges of your board the gummy stone can remove them
Dang ! Grandpa told me about these board/bike hoarders. Ain't never seen one before.
Dear snowboard addiction. Shoud i tune the edges of my snowboard before i wax my snowboard?
Do you use the stone before or after waxing?
Before
spa marye what its called ?? please let me know
whats the name of the other file stone that you use for the second stage ?
Diamond stone
Does the stone damage the bottom of the board?
no
Do you tuning board’s tip and tail?
I detune the tip and tail (4 contact points of the board)
@@SnowboardAddiction thank you for your response so you tuned the all metal edge of the snowboard?(all metal edge around the whole board) cuz I saw in video you only tuned heel edge and toe edge. Thank you
This is my guide. Merry Christmas. We are up to 3 inches and it's still coming down. I need a set up and seat in 4×4 SUV or Z71 4Door Pick up. Sext truck. ☃. ⛄. I finally got snow. Do you want to be my best man or what? Best man. You or Mr.K? We can ride together. It's super snow Christmas. We can walk the hill and jump the cow fence....road.....catch a ride back up the hill. It's free. 👍🇨🇦🏂
What if you are using a tool, like the Toko edge tuner pro, what are the angles that should be used?
I have my own fairly comprehensive purpose snowboard/ski tuning workshop I run from home that I've been doing for about 10 years now. I have purchased tons of different tools over the years that has cost me a fair amount of coin $$$$$. But hey I love snowboarding.
So I love the Toko Edge Tuner Pro which is my number 1 pick for doing side edges. I have fixed pro model edge guides at a variety of different angles but love the rollers for smooth glide over the base it gives you from the Toko Edge Tuner Pro. I use 89 for side edge and 1 degree for base bevel. This gives your combined edge/base angle of 90 degrees (this is what a lot of boards are set up as from the factory). You can go more if you want to set up for a super hard carver ie 88-87degrees (not recommended unless you're into competitions/expert level rider) but remember that to change back that angle after this you will have to remove volume of the edge plus base grind to bring that angle back.
I have a number of different base edge guides ie Toko adjustable and fixed Toko pro line models but love using more than any the FK SKS Vario Base Bevel. Such a brilliant easy to use variable base bevel. Make sure you get decent diamond stones. I have used cheaper ones in the past that I sold off only after 1 use. You can't really beat Diaface Moonflex Diamond Stones. Grab the 5 pack as this will enable you to polish those edges back a mirror face from 100 to 1500. I bring back edges for customers to a polished mirror finish from their previous rusty unserviced condition.
I have a number of Toko T8 irons of different voltage 230v (Australia) and 110v (Japan) I use when I go O/S. If you are into Snowboarding I would advise setting yourself up with descent tuning gear. You can't go wrong with Toko or Swix tools. Up there with the best. You will have to outlay $$$$ at first but will be better of in the long run.
My advice is to use the edge/base tools rather than free-handing the edges.
ohhh... so i have never really tune my board and i been ridin it for 4 season now. i guess ill give my Board to a black smith to tune my board.
I think it is so amateurish . How do you know how to manually adjust the angle? Like 90 degrees?
How to detone the edge ?
can u use a gummy stone
Imma use my shinto rasp
I just did mine with sandpaper haha
But what's the point of doing this? Whats wrong with leaving the burrs?
You will have less grip and bad burrs can actually cause you to catch edges.
Is that a phablet in your pocket or are you just pleased to see us?
Good vid. But why do I feel like I’m watching an infomercial? 🤔😝
This is HOW it's done!! So many burrs.🤣🤣
Australian Canadian accent?
**Kiwi/Canadian
So this is what caused the toilet paper shortage of 2020..
I can hear the burs
It looks like you sanded about half an inch of your base on both sides of your board… isn’t that something you want to avoid doing?
Yes dont sand your board! i have done this many times so i didnt damage the snowboard. but getting a edge tool is your best bet for sure.
Can I use a bidet since I don’t use toilet paper?
Great video dude, Don't think a lot of people know how to properly maintain their edges... but man kinda mad at amazon his morning, one of my packages is a few days late and they auto charged my bank and over drafted my account for the yearly subscription fee without friendly reminder, and they are always sending packages late. plus they make it a pain to get the month free guarantee so I don't even have the energy to fight with them about it. one more year Amazon and you're done. lol
@@SnowboardAddiction You're welcome keep up the great content
I think I’m the first one to comment
Fuck Amazon you dingaling
My teeth hurt...
Please stop promoting Amazon and start promoting small business and local business.
We are moving away from Amazon as fast as we can!
Hi great vid. Can a gummi stone be used for the same purpose? What is the difference between tuning the edges with a gummi stone vs diamond stone?
probably the same. My guess is the gummy stone will lose its shape over time, at least when compared to diamond bc diamond is hardest.
