it works alright if the wood is alright. If it's a rotting and falling apart and shit than it prolly wont work to well.

put water on it. Dry wood SUCKS for sliding. Works best if its supercold so the water freezes. Make sure you have a lot of water though cause the wood soaks it up. Wax would probably work too.

Coming Soon...

Yes definately do the afformentioned. Put water on it if its cold and it will freeze up and be much more slideable than before.

yah, if its straight dry wood, your edges will bite into the wood and chances are youll eat shit. so ice it, dont wax it, dont think that would work to well

you should be alright but after it gets torn up it is trashed so maybe put pvc on top that will work.

woodrails are really sick, your skis have a tendency to dig in tho so just dosnt lean in too much.
