This is the first time I have seen that pre waxing trick for removing dirt and old wax. Than you. I really like the no nonsense approach you have. And look forward to how you file the base for a little more performance. Keep them coming!
Binding setup would be a good one. Having focussed so much in the last few seasons on Avalanche awareness, I had totally neglected checking (or getting checked) my bindings for probs 5 years. As such, a recent crash has done some damage to my knee, mainly because of unmaintained bindings (along with some human factors too) which will take me out of a bout half of the skydiving season that has now started. I appreciate it is difficult to do as there's so many different types of alpine bindings
Hi Matt thanks for your comment...good idea ..I am thinking of doing a video on how to store your skis in the summer and to talk about the bindings.. Maybe I can do another video on the din setting and maybe where the binding is mounted? whats your thoughts thanks floss...
@@FreeFloFloss Wow, that is brilliant, exactly what I need. I should have watched this at the start of the season but life doesn't give you save/restore points, you just gotta learn as much as possible from every mistake :) I think I might actually be able to make something like that and use my own torque wrench to test them.
In order to put a water film between the file and the edge, which protects your file from wear and tear. It sometimes is even mentioned on the package the file comes in.
We only manage to ski twice a year (2 separate weeks) how often should we service our own skis. Excellent video. Is there a link to the equipment used?
I only do it between trips - which is 7/8 days skiing because it's difficult to take the servicing gear with you and find somewhere to use it. I've seen people say every 3/4 days and seasonnaires saying they only do it 2/3 times a season! Sometimes depends on what you are skiing and what conditions are like. Need sharp edges on hard packed but not for powder for example.
Because the side angles are slightly below the base, also a plastic scraper will not damage a steel edge.. I don't agree with not having a base level angle BTW..

First time? Then you haven’t watched enough vids about ski preparation 😊
Excellent video thanks for sharing.
Really interesting film. 👌🏼 Thank you very much for that. 👏🏼👏🏼 5 and a half weeks to our Tignes trip and the snow may be on its way…
Thanks for your comment 😊

@@FreeFloFloss that's a great idea. Be good to know how to check their functionality
@@mattwoodford1820 this is only the way to really check your binding th-cam.com/video/fPM66fLPPAQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TcuDfFGnRH7C5Pxa

Great video. Very interesting to see how it’s done and what tools and equipment is needed 👍
Loving the pinny!
🤣
Always interesting to see someone else's methods. What's with dipping the dimond file I to water. Never done that before?

Many Thanks!
I hope you like it! What do you think of the video?
Nice one thanks! I enjoy looking after my own skis and this gave me a few useful tips.
glad you like it @@stevewhiteley9249

Always wondering whether the scraping off of the wax off the edges doesn’t dull the edges, rendering all the hard and precise edge work void?
I never know myself .I have that same thought

Always ‘tip to tail’.
