Hello Xavier, C'est une excellente série de vidéos pour apprendre à connaître la montagne, sa beauté et ses dangers. Continue comme ça c'est très inspirant, félicitation! Cheers
Actually not that many but I have to get them serviced a lot. I used to break quite a few of them but that has given us the chance with Rossi to work on the strength of the boards and I must say that it doesn’t really happen anymore. Xv
Xavier is so mellow to watch! Feels like a bro talking to you instead of just trying to tell you how badass they are like some of Xavier's counterparts I won't mention (we know who) which is unfortunate. Save our winters? Sounds more like politics none of us has control of. SAVE IT!
I wouldn't bother. Maybe sand paper, ptex candle, lighter, and scraper. Even that seems overboard. Just fix it when you get home or to a shop. I've never noticed base damage effecting the way a board rides.
@@homealone5087 Happened to my board, went over a rock and it dig through the base, the fiber sheet was showing and the base had an edge that I needed to cut. So I filled the hole with Epoxy Resin mix. On flat still doesn't slide well so I have to edge.
Love your videos. If there is a persistent weak layer is it best to avoid all rocky couloirs? Ours are often hard to trigger due to being so deep but wondering if you hit a rocky part that isn’t deep and collapse the whole slab wouldn’t be good for obvious reasons. Or is there any signs you look for when digging a pit for this type of thing?
Honestly I know that rocks are considered as trigger points and I have witnessed that once in AK on a massive corniche but I still prefer rocky terrain as it gives me a better visibility of the ground under the snow pack and potentially will break down the slabs and reduce the propagation. That is generic of course as a feeling but I think it’s true for my perception of things... Xv

Merci beaucoup. Xv
You are king of the mountain
Awesome, great advice! Thanks
Thanks!
How many boards do you go trough a season because of base damage?
I've hit a few rocks. I've never seen any rock damage that couldn't be fixed with a base grind and ptex. As long as you don't blow your edge out.

@@XVDLR Nice to hear that a manufacturer puts effort into durability 👍
Waoo Great

Mention the counterpart. I want to look them up.
Take Epoxy/Resin tubes with you if you are going for few days?
I wouldn't bother. Maybe sand paper, ptex candle, lighter, and scraper. Even that seems overboard. Just fix it when you get home or to a shop. I've never noticed base damage effecting the way a board rides.

@@johnnykhawand Soulds like a big core shot. Maybe that's the epoxy causing drag? Just use Ptex in the future.
@@homealone5087 Yeah because Epoxy shrinks overtime and is not leveled with the base anymore. I will look into Ptex thanks
