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

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 different ty…

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 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.

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.
