Microcrystaline? Differences between that and the normal one?

Both are natural, biodegradeable, PFC free, etc. Natural is also petroleum free. Microcrystaline must contain some petroleum-based compounds (no idea).

I have only used the natural but was thinking of trying microcrystaline in bulk to save some coin.

Typically use the obj xwax in cold. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but early on it seemed to ride faster and last longer than the other waxes I was experimenting with. The dakine nitorus cake (cold) I didn't care for. I gave up using it after half a bar, in my mind it felt like it was slower than what I was used to using and on the mt I was running out of speed in the flats.

I really dislike cake wax and have only used it for storage since my first use of it.

Oh and I avoid soy wax, what a pain in the ass, that stuff is!

I think I'm going to toss my remaining One Ball Jay Bio-Green... it's just not worth the hassle. You have to time the scrape just right.

Anyone have any opinions of OBJ 4WD Warm vs. Black Magic Slush for 26 degree+ days? First time use for both for me. The latter has graphite so I'm tempted to use that.

 

[NWBoarder]

I have the 4WD and it works, but honestly, an some all temp should be just fine. I didn't really notice a difference between the all temp and the 4WD in spring conditions.

whack's wax.

I ride on the ice coast and it holds up great.

I used Swix CH 7 most of the time. Rewaxed my board every 5-7 ride. Felt big difference in speed between waxed and not waxed board. But now I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. Probably will switch to Data Wax.

OBJ F1 wax here.

I recently used their Summer Slush and that worked good too. It was flouro with graphite in it.

OBJ Bio-Green sucks. I had to wax before everytime I went out.

Summer Slush would be good in warm and cool conditions. I liked it. On very cold snow it might not work so well. You need to reduce the amount of fluoro in the wax for that.

 

[Slush Puppie]

So far I've tried Bluebird all temp and Burton Flouro all temp. I like the Bluebird but the Flouro definitely feels faster and the board feels very slippery on the snow with it. But once that's used up I doubt I'll buy more.

2 questions:

Anyone tried Data wax? Seems very cheap and comes with flouro

Graphite or Flouro for slush?

 

[Triple8Sol]

I almost always use an all-temp, although sometimes a cold wax during the heart of the season. Lately I've been sticking to fluoro waxes like OBJ Viper and Dakine Indy. Have also had great luck with hydrocarbons like OBJ 4x4, Dakine Nitrous. I also have some cheap Demon hydrocarbon that I've been using for off-season storage and hot scrapes.

 

[rader023]

Use bluebird during the season, have ch7, dakine, whatever i can find for storing season.

Wax on, wax off. I always use Sex Wax. It's cheap, it works, and it sounds kinky. Who could want anything more? :cheeky4:

Isn't that surf wax that's made to stick? What does it have in it to glide?

Isn't that surf wax that's made to stick? What does it have in it to glide?

They make a Snow Wax variety. Being a surfer first, and loyal SexWax user, I planned to use it, but when I tried to investigate, they were very unhelpful. I use Saucer Wax, which is specifically formulated for the Colorado Rockies. NS fanboys can enjoy even more excitement as it is what their boards leave the factory rolled with.

Isn't that surf wax that's made to stick? What does it have in it to glide?

Yeah, they make a snow wax and in my experience it has worked very well. It comes in a few different varieties, with a rub-on and a melt-on application. I have used both types and like I said, it has worked very well. I have always used Zog's on my surfboard, so it seemed natural to use it on my snowboard as well. As Snowklinger said, they don't give out any information on what the hell is in it, at least I haven't been able to find any specs, but hey, I have been using the shit for years and it works.
