wax this shit!

[pica]

ok, so after quite a few years of skateboarding i came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what wax you use. no difference between special skate wax, an old candle, a new candle or a tea light at all. the only thing that stands out and is better than anything else seems to be ledgebutta. i don't know what they put in it but it's just better than the rest.
opinions?

OFFICIAL LIST

shake junt wax = better for hardflips
ledge butter = better for yo flips
zero wax = better for handrails tricks
alien workshop wax = better obscure obstacle
santa cruz wax = better for obstacle no one has ever heard of
DGK wax = better for hood spot
girl wax = better for back tails


THESE ARE THE WAXES I HAVE USED SO FAR, LIST WILL BE UPDATED AS MY PARENTS DRIVE ME TO MORE SPOTS

skate mental dog shit wax = for pointless posts.

pica is slow. Most of us figured that out after the first few minutes of skateboarding, not years.

Then there are us old guys that just used some crappy candle or paraffin since the 80s.

By the way, I'd like to know what wax Alex Olson endorses; he is so dreamy.

Element wax smells nice = better for going on dates

[ChildoftheGhetto]

Nah, there are differences. Curb cream is the best wax.

Haha! I still got a little piece left dude! Smells wonderful

just get the "hella slick" diamond wax. doesnt crumble or break apart like ledge butta and regular candles do and from my experience using it actually is pretty good to a point where its noticably different than other wax

really...? you figured that out in a few minutes? like what... like you used approx. 25 types of wax in a few minutes and came to the point where you found out ledgebutta is the best? any wax works, but if you ever tried to break a new ledge in having nothing but a tea light you know that there are better options.

[Filip]

Sometimes I like to use soap, slides the same and smells nice.

[chillout]
