Network A and snowboards!

Netwrok A is a YouTube channel that supplies a great number of videos about extreme sports. There is a monthly series called "Every Thing Thursday", which I really enjoy and I'd like to share it with you.

Those videos are about a small snowboard company called Signal Snowboards, who undertake a challenge in every video. The challenge is to make a theme and create a snowboard about it. I have to say that the content that they provide is really fun and innovating. Who has heard of a paintball shooting snowboard? No? How about world first 3D-printed snowboard, a recycled board, or even a dartboard themed snowboard? These guys made it all happen.

In each episode the whole thought and production process is shown. The materials used, people involved, the challenged in making of the board, and many more attractions. Not only it is entertaining but also informative. Before watching those videos I had no idea how snowboards were manufactured, so in a sense this provided me with a great insight on the world of snowboarding.

I am really grateful for what they do. Once they made a special snowboard for a paralyzed from waist down ex snowboarder, who after many years of riding in a wheelchair was able to hit the slopes once again.

If you like "how it's made Mythbusters" videos (and snowboarding obviously, I mean that's why you're reading this...) then you certainly should check it out.
