Dude i want to see some hemp boards. Been growing the last year. Its a very fast growing plant,and gets woody fast. In half a year you basically have a whole tree.
Bamboo and Paulownia mixed with poplar, birch, etc. Hemps cool but for the most part every brand that's built with it has had the same reaction it really doesn't improve the ride.
The thing with hemp is that in order to make “wood” with it, the stalks have to be shredded into fibers with some of the excess discarded, and then you have to use a proprietary process to mold the fibers into a wood plank using protein resins to bond it together. Then after that it needs to be finished and laminated for snowboard use…… it’s actually a super time consuming process and it amounts to using overpriced particle board in the snowboard core. I think with minimal usage there might be some application for it in snowboarding, but compared to Pawlonia, Aspen, Beech, Ashwood, Balsa, Bamboo, etcetera I doubt it’ll ever be as widely used for core material. We already know what’s working really well with regards to renewably grown trees for making wood cores 😉👍🏼
@@narrowistheway77 righ on thats pretty much what I figured was going on with it.uness someone grows a massive hemp plant and can mill boards out of it,even then it seems like it might not be the best material. Maybe if we find some long lost dinosaur weed weeds that's huge
@@timmordragon1847 It's like electric cars. If you look at the logistics behind the battery creation as well as electricity production it is nearly a push with ICE vehicles as far as carbon emissions. People eat it up though to virtue signal.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
comes to mind.
😂😂

Been done, not as good as you think.
@@AngrySnowboarder guess bamboo is the way to go as far as fast renuable resource.

You get rid of your old boards?!
Oh fuck yeah. If I could be a minimalist I would.
Sounds like a marketing gimmick to impress hippies, whatever the case my Freecarver 9000 fawking rips.
Yup I agree, hippie nonsense. Oh and I'm waiting for the Freecarver 6000 2025 to drop so I can buy one.

What do they do with the wood that they cut out of the finished core so they can put the recycled board parts there?
Snowbards are not made like skateboards or one big piece of wood.
@@brianp9268 I watched the video on their website where you can see they made a core and then cut a hole out to put this in it.
@@daa9981 what video shows them cutting a hole out?
Probably grind it down into cellulose and serve it in ice cream or parmesan cheese.
