Crayon Wax?

[steveyp]

I need some help. I'm skiing (indoor ) in 2 hrs, but my bases are shot, they literally don't move at all on snow. The shops are all shut now, and I have run out of wax.
Anyone know if its legit just to use a wax crayon on bases? Anyone done it before? Results?
Thanks, ++++K for help.

haha doesnt sound too appealing but you should go for it and film and see how it works and show us after

 

[flobadob]

i've heard prit stick works because at -0.5 degrees it cannot dry out and provides a slick surface thats slideable

 

[epoxiedtip]

try it you have nothing to lose

haha this is correct

 

[freezed]

yeah pretty much. for park though you can just throw on all temp (grass green, or even olive green) and not worry about it.

give it a go, it should work fine (as long as you don't mind some color on your bases)

 

[steveyp]

Ok, so its not particularly cold in there, so i've settled on "Light Vermillion". I'm going to apply it now, and report back in 5 hrs or so. Peace.

sometimes i just rub deodorant on my bases

 

[Coalescent]

thats weak..

i just spray axe on my bases, not only do my skis smell good, but the women come to me like no other.

Razzmatazz is my secret weapon

This, but remember to use the axe 2 Sided detailer to make sure the bases are buffed to perfection!

....i'm just not that cool..*sniffle*

I put like mop n glo floor wax on my bases once in a real bind. Was literally a temp fix, didn't make it through the day. But it worked for a few hours.

...little does he know you get broraped when you axe your bases

 

[Yung_Gnarley]

god forbid he drinks a keystone light after skiing....

 

[inactive]

its all about the bacon grease and WD40 hoes...

 

[japanada]

Natty Light.

 

[dmc12380]

mix up a chemical concoction from all the shit under your kitchen sink. that should do the trick

 

[musick13]

mad sketchy

 

[mmallender.]

natty ice.

 

[Totes_Magotes]

wax need not apply as long as you slap some flame stickers on the bottom..

 

[rj.]

give it a try

 

[R-B-B]

try and use pam grease spray shit, definitely could work

Your bases are what keep you ripping during the winter... dont ruin good bases with stuff thats not meant to be absorbed by your base... Your local shops are closed, buy online.

Some stuff is even on sale now

 

[Steazel]

he obviously doesnt know what real waxing is all about dude. Mods please remove if possible.

 

[Peter.]

he said he has to go in 2 hours

 

[HR8938Cephei]

wait until your shop opens and buy wax... pretty easy

 

[Freeheel4real]

I've read that doing this helps one to conquer the elusive pits to chesty....is this true?

 

[garettnorthey]

YES! Well played my friend well played. +karma

 

[Mr.Huck]

You're leaving us hanging. Did it work?

 

[RileySnyderPhoto]

actually if you have Rain-x just slap that on your bases and you will glide like crazy but it wears off fast so like every couple of runs, reapply

Pam all purpose spray or pledge lemon are great for sand dunes... maybe summer skiing too.

 

[smooticus]

I picture one of those axe commerials with all the girls running after you on the ski hill

 

[Malcolm]

that sounds pretty good to me
