Hello everyone, we are at Ski Service in Verbier,
and today we're gonna learn how to cut a skin and how to mount a tail clip.
So normally, Splitboards are made with already cut skins from the factory,
but sometimes you have to make your own,
so on my pro model I have everything set up already.
So this is my wife's board, a great occasion to get her set up ready
it's been a year!
First point you need to figure out which directions are your skins gliding,
so always make sure that you go from the tip to the tail,
and needs to go smoothly, alright.
So first step is to put the skin onto the base, the goal is to try to follow the edge
and leave an extra edge of space in between, the edge and the skin,
So on the other side, we're gonna cut the skin following the edge,
so put a bit of an angle, go on the edge and just follow the edge
it does a great job by itself, it's like magic, it makes you feel like a pro.
It's important to do a good job because if your skins are not cut well after
they will have little bits going and sticking to the glue, which you don't want
so now you see, we take out the skin and place it back on.
There you go you can see that there is only the edge visible on each side
so we're good on that side.
So now we're gonna put the tail clip
place it roughly, tack, so it would be roughly here
and I take a bit of margin so that it would be tight
and then I draw it op, op,
and from there I'm gonna mark the skin to cut it with a bit of an angle
like the tail part is not really important,
bit of a protection,
place the tail clip, tack, tack, tack.
Gonna make three holes
and then the riveting,
no need to go hard.
oppla, pull the tail clip there's tension on it, and it's a perfect job.
Pretty easy to do.
So now you can fold your skins, I fold them on themselves
but my wife, because it's her skins, she likes to cut the plastic in half
and put it on, like this, and get it to fold over it
It's not a bad technique, I must say!
That's it now you know how to cut your skins, you know how to mount your tail clip,
you know how to mount your split board, so all you need to do
is get your courage in your backpack, get up there and have a great time.
Darling your board is ready.
Thanks darling!
You're welcome baby!
