Mike-HuntWhats the best to put on the rails to make them less sticky? I work park crew and we wax them, but it takes forever and doesnt last long. At park city i saw people spraying something on them, would wd-40 work?

and a good glob of horsesemen should get you cruising
T.L.Cooking spray or tire shine are the only things I'll use but I don't break any of that out unless it's frigged and no humidity. Diesel or something like wd-40 will work in a pinch but they are solvents and will remove wax from your skis or board.
This trend of waxing rails is absolutely ridiculous. Wax is for curbs so you can learn how to 50-50 on a skateboard when you're 10.
If you're really having trouble sliding steel, they're probably not buffed enough in the summer.
Get yourself a drum buffer and ditch the wax.

theabortionatorYeah. Never actually aeen anyone wax but apparently a thing. Ive seen plenty of rails where people did a hack job on the flapping. Our s rail last year was so grooved it wasnt funny. You could see it through the paint. Somebody told me "its fine dont bother" when i went over it and fixed it. People are nutty.
T.L.It's becoming a trend for some reason. The crew at copper was posting up pictures of their park crew waxing rails.

Athletes are now asking SPT to wax rails for comps like xgames and the us open

They had vail's park crew out there with map gas torches melting wax all over the rails for the open and it made an absolute mess. When the waxed rails have moisture form on the tops of them, it beads up and freezes so you have to come back through and scrape all the frozen beads of water off the top so people don't die.
It's absolutely retarded. If purl wax (or anyone) can send me supporting data on the effectiveness of waxing park features like friction coefficients measured over how many times it's been slid, I'll wax the shit outta my rails.
