Try ski wax for snow skies. It goes on smooth in cold temps when wax normally freezes. Ski wax cost more than skate wax. Snowboard ski wax. But I live in Colorado and it's normal here to see a skater use his winter ski wax in the summer. Local stores here sell ski supplies. Colorado has more ski and snowboard shops than skate board shops, that sell the ski wax local. Also old candle wax gets soft after its been melted. So if you reheat the wax several times it makes it softer.

Saw you chewing on a bar of gulf wax and had to click. These youngins gotta learn the old ways! It'll save everyone some cash, and spread the love around. Back in the day, like a decade ago, you'd see Pig Wheels wax bars, shaped in a pigs head, selling for $11.99 at my local skate shop. I had no idea why it was scented skate wax, nobody skating would give a shit. But even the shop owner told us to go buy gulf wax, and reserved the overpriced "skate wax" for rich people who didn't care. 😂

I don't skateboard, I aggressive inline, but I have a fellow aggro inline friend who buys those huge 5-wick candles in the little bucket from Walmart. He says it's as good as Gulf Wax and cheaper by weight. He just heats the metal bucket to free the big chunk of wax from the bucket, then dumps it out, let's it cool, then breaks it up and takes a small chunk with him whenever he skates. He's had a bucket last him over a year several times. I also recommend, if you lose a screw of bolt, just taking one that you didn't lose to Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Lowes, or some other hardware place and getting an employee to help you find a screw or bolt that has the same length, width, and thread pitch and buy like 50 of them. Aggro inliners CONSTANTLY lose the bolts that hold our frames to our boots, or even cuff bolts that keep the cuffs on our skates. It's way cheaper to find a 5 cent bolt at Home Depot than it is to buy a $20 replacement pair from whatever store you can find that has replacements. I also recommend trying to see if you can get bearings that fit your wheels and axels/trucks at a hard ware store. I 100% guarantee they'll be cheaper and most likely just as good. Unless you buy your bearings from a small company, like aggro inlining has a handful of skate companies that make their own bearings, then keep buying from them. Put money back into the community and help a business that is almost certainly owned and ran by skaters.

@FirelordRob76 2 года назад
my issue with pure gulf wax is that it's too hard and flaky. you need to mix in some silicone oil or softer wax with it to get the perfect blend. you waxed like 100 total feet of obstacle but probably deposited only grams of wax. to really wax an obstacle you need to wear down the wax block as it rubs so it is deposited on the surface and subsequently ground in. my favorite type of wax is the ikea pillar candle.

Gulf wax used to be like a no no, idk how this blew up into something everyones praising. I knew a dude who sold wax on ebay and etsy who worked for dwindle or deluxe and knew somewhat how they made there wax, and other ways, he would take paraffin, beeswax, and sometype of oil, onetime i heard him say he used i think a bit of bearing grease or something, i was like what?? But just paraffin breaks up to easy and melts weird, and forget about candles ull have the spot smelling like some bullshit.

@KendallBertaux1
@KendallBertaux1 2 года назад
I respectfully disagree. I think wax is very necessary. You may not need it at a skatepark but you for sure need it when street skating. There are tricks that won't work without wax. Street ledges and rails are not smooth by design. You have to wax them and break them in to be skated. So in my opinion I think every skater should always have some wax so why not save a few bucks. lol
