As the Beijing Winter Olympics are underway, more people are beginning to pay attention to the story behind the ice and snow projects. Does a snowboard maintainer sound unfamiliar? But in fact, behind every piste, the bobsleigh maintenance engineer is a profession that athletes and snow lovers can't do without, they are the "behind-the-scenes heroes" on the pistes.
On February 11, Tianmu News reporters came to the SNOW51 Indoor Ski Hall of Shanghai Minhang MixC and met a snowboard maintenance engineer - Ji Siming.
In the communication with Ji Siming, Tianmu News reporter learned that he himself loves skiing, and he also hopes to maintain his snowboard well, out of interest to carry out relevant learning. It is reported that there are only one or two hundred people in the country engaged in this profession, and the snowboard maintenance engineer needs to practice continuously, and it takes time and experience to accumulate in cleaning, waxing, waxing, etc., in order to do a good job.
As a ski maintenance engineer, Ji Siming knows the types of snowboards. Snowboards are divided into: alpine boards, off-road boards, springboards and freestyle boards. He made some analysis of Gu Ailing and Su Yiming's snowboards, and Ji Siming said: "Their snowboards are relatively free-style, Gu Ailing's snowboards are upturned at both ends, and generally the front and back of the snowboards we use are flat." Su Yiming's snowboard also has its own characteristics, "his snowboard will be softer in terms of hardness, which will be more suitable for him to do actions than conventional snowboards." ”
Ji Siming showed the process of snowboard maintenance for Tianmu News reporters, and when he got a snowboard that needed to be maintained, he would first observe the snowboard to see if there was any injury. If there is no injury to the bottom of the plate, treat the plate blade first, do a cleaning and then apply snow wax. Each step requires a great deal of patience to deal with. The choice of snow wax is also very exquisite, and it needs to be adjusted according to the temperature of the snow field.
