Can you wax your snowboard with skate wax? if so, How??
Hi, My snowboard really really needs to be waxed, and I am going snowboarding tommorrow (YES!!). the problem is that I wasnt able to get to the snowboard shop this year, and now im stuck with just a block of skate wax ("Slick Brick" http://www.skateboard.ws/skateboard-wax. and I was wondering If I will be able to temperarilly wax my board with it. It needs to be waxed so badly that I was going up a jump and actually got stuck on it (yes actually stopped mid way up it). If I can use it, How?

Will my current bindings fit on my new board?
your board will survive if you dont wax it ... the wax fills the groves on the base to protect the board and it creates less friction - which means "it goes faster"Now as for you getting stuck on "a jump" heres some tips.
1. its not called a jump, its called a kicker.
2. if the the temps have been up where you are boarding its a good chance that the snow is really sticky which will slow your board in a second.
3. Go faster, str8 shoot it, dont speed check before the kicker and you wont have a problem with "getting stuck"??
bottom line, your board has gone this long with out wax, whats one more time going to hurt.
Can somebody tell me the name of the tune on the citroen advert with the ice skating car?
nope you shouldnt use skate wax. just go down to the local boardshop and pick up some snowboard wax. if you dont have time to hot wax your board get some paste wax or "snowboard lubricant", they give you a temporary lubricant and a lot faster than hot waxingIs zeal a good company for goggles?
Do NOT use skate wax. That is a totally different kind of wax and isn't designed to provide glide on snow. You can get your board waxed at the resort. Just head to the tune shop (every resort has them) and get your board waxed, it should cost around 10 bucks and doesn't take very long. They will also have the best insight as to which wax is working for the snow conditions (yeah, it's different and there are tons of different wax choices).Have fun

Don't use skate wax. Take it to the repair shop on the mountain and have them wax it if it's really that bad. It won't need to be waxed unless you have used it a bunch of times since waxing it last.PS Don't wax unless you really know what you are doing or you may damage your board!
