I remember this dilemma when I was skating before. Like everyone has said, candles are the best bang for the buck. If you want to spend the money on production wax or make your own blend that’s cool, but the trick is layering. There are…

idk about candles. I used them for a long time and I thought they worked just fine, but then I decided to try some element skate wax. Turns out it makes it 10 times more slick than it was with just candle wax

i think we try to blame the wax instead of catching the ledge just right. lol. With the box it didn't matter much, but for curbs, I just couldnt slide... those things are a pain... I try to hit them with more speed and end up stalling after a…

I don't really get why people go through all that work... I mean, for the last 15 years, I've used JUST candles, literally just scraped the candle on the rail/ledge, and it has worked completely fine for me.

Skate Wax... To make or not to make?

Where I'm at, there's no skate wax available, and if I want to order online, the shipping fees are psychotic. At first, I figured... you want a lubricant that would make you slide. So I grabbed a candle and some car wax. Used the candle, applied some car wax, and then fixed it with more candle. To cut it short, let me say that wasn't the best way to go. While it did work well enough and have lived with this for about two months now, for the record, the car wax was a mess. Messed up my skates,…See More

Mada replied to Freedomking's discussion 'need a simple trick list'

I will share my strange habits with you. Sounds stupid I know, but it worked for me. I was having trouble getting my blades up under me and found myself doing pathetic bunny hops. I figured other than getting enough speed, you need to get your…

Year Born:: 1983

About Me:: After a 10 year hiatus, got back on my blades two months ago and remembered the freedom and rush of rolling. Just me, my skates and some tunes. No extreme sports in the middle east, let alone girls doing it. Feels good to resurrect that and break those barriers. As a female kid in the middle east, rolling was an acceptable eccentricity. As a grown woman, its a testemant to a way of lifet. Freedom to roll. Perhaps it will catch.
