I won some mWax in the contest last summer and that shit works real good. I almost don't need to water my turf anymore.

Also dish soap+ water works good. I bought one of these for $20 and its a real efficient way to spray water or soap or whatever

your skis are probabaly going to get beat unless you cover everything with turf or pick every rock/twig out of your lawn. Your best off getting real cheap skis that are fucked up already.

Skiing always gets your skis destroyed. Its summer skiing, don't use your brand new skis. Kevin's skis don't get less wrecked by using his alien slime, its a lubricant, not a protection plan. Use soap and water or some type of wax and start skiing on some more beat up skis (I use my postseasons skis which most people side with, id recommend this)

Just figured out that for those who have already submitted videos can start getting votes even before the deadline which is super lame imo. The earlier you enter, the more votes you can get?

A few of my friends and I (the contest judges) are going to choose the final winners, the scores from the judges are much more important than the amount of votes on the contest page.
