Building a snowboard is a labour of love, but unfortunately it is not something you can do in your garage, I thought you might like to see how it is done anyway.
In this weeks episode I visit First Track Labs to build a prototype for my new Rossignol XV, I go through the whole process from design conception, choosing and testing sustainable materials through to the layering up and pressing of the board, ready to take up the mountain to test.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

@michaeloas8935 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I see that you were using a one piece black base. However, many brands are putting multiple base pieces together like jigsaws. Does it compromise the integraty of the base? And, how do you make graphics on the base?

@luc4662 3 года назад

Finally a good looking top sheet on an XV! Bring that design to prod!

I would love to have a graphic like that!! You had a simple graphic on your Rossi before you had XV, maybe 2010 model. Loved that 168cm ride !!

@Ldontheroad 3 года назад

@jonbrown9490 3 года назад

I want that board! Seriously though, someone should give xavier a snowboard shaper award. I've ridden a lot of boards over the years and the shapes he designs are absolutely some of the best for their intended purpose. I would go far as to say that the sushi should be rated as the all around best short/fat/surfy board in the market. It floats pow effortlessly, it's super damp, buy snappy, super nimble and holds better on hard pack than some boards 20 cm longer!

@HOWTOXV 3 года назад

Man… thank you that is a very nice compliment! There is a great team at Rossignol and both Adriens are making a great job as well as Manu Petit who tests the boards as well, I think that we are really in line with the products that we get out there. Xv

@chrisherne6454 3 года назад

Superb video. Thanks Xavier! Sadly, most of us don't have access to that kind of equipment. I have made surfboards, but no need for presses or clamps, it's a much more manual and less layered kind of process... But my main question is: will we ever see something like this from Rossi?

@HOWTOXV 3 года назад

Yeah - not that accessible in terms of building your own, but this is the prototype for Rossignol and the planned direction on the XV, so yes - you should see something like this pretty soon from Rossignol. Cheers Xv

@simons7067 Год назад

Awesome videos Xavier!! Re no more magnatraction on the XV does the board no longer have the insane edge hold in hard snow? I notice the split board still has it? Cheers

@HOWTOXV Год назад

Indeed the magnatraction is out on the normal Xv and will be out on the split from next years one as well. It was my decision as I find the the edge hold is much cleaner without it and I really don't find that you lose that much edge hold without it. I am actually quite happy that we are moving on from it, so I hope you still like it - just got to keep it nicely tuned! XV

@bandotherando 3 года назад

Anyone have a list of materials for this? I wouldn't even know where to start looking for some of the stuff

@fuelbasti 3 года назад

Nice board but the materials are not suistainable still. There are options with flax and bio based resins. Thats would be more eco.

@HOWTOXV 3 года назад

Thanks - definitely not perfect yet, looking into all options and hopefully just getting better and better. Will look into the resins. Thanks. Xv

@YougsGichetski 3 года назад

Is the little swallowtail really useful or is it just to had some style to the board?

@th3oryO 3 года назад

It may have a tiny effect if you go really backseat on the board but not really. The only time a swallowtail drastically changes the ride is when the cutout extends past the upturned surface and into the camber/flat part of the board, OR the back foot is very close to the tail (see the xv sushi). In the former it changes the flex of the tail and in the latter you're physically steering the board with the tail so any changes in shape will change the ride. At least that's my experience with 5 different swallowtails, I have a problem.

@KapoSBR 3 года назад

Nice! What was the graphic film made of? Is it some kind of water-slide decal?

@HOWTOXV 3 года назад

For the Print we used an inkjet printer to print on Silicon transfer paper. The ink doesn't adhere to the paper and thus as soon as it comes in contact with the bamboo it releases from the paper and sticks to the bamboo. It is important to note that this is not a common technique used and that it was a DIY method to get the graphics and effects we were looking for onto the board. Pretty stoked with the results!! Xv

@KapoSBR 3 года назад

@@HOWTOXV Awesome! I am looking for techniques like this as I'm producing skateboards DIY-Style and buying a heat-transfer press is not very cheap ;-) + I'm pretty sure (even though commonly used) that 200 degrees will to some extent harm the wood. So this technique looks like a good way to go! Could you tell me the company that produces the transfer paper? Thx already for the answer!

Hey - this is a prototype for Rossignol, so compared to the normal costs of building a snowboard mould it is much cheaper, can't really give you any definitive pricing. But First Track Labs are looking to try and make consumer packages available in the future to build your own skis or snowboard.
