Dunno, but you could ride an old wakeskate. I rode the LF 40 today, I was hittin pop shuvs off this little lip coming down the hill. I hear you 7 with the edges, no can turn w/o edges. I bet those tiny hyperlite fins would work good. _________________ dbanana wrote:

um, im guessing you dont have a waxing iron. so ill give you a way that you can use.
go to a ski shop or snowboard shop or maybe even a sporting goods store and get a stick of ptex. it should be what the base of your skate is made of, but im not too sure if they use that or not. then take a lighter and melt it into the gouges if they are deep. then smooth it with a file or even a knife or somehtng. then get some run on wax and rub it on evenly
if the gouges arent too bad, just get some rub on ski wax and try to do the best at filling them with that. i guess you could melt wax into them too if you wanted.
if you want to protect it when you ride, waxing it up before each use will help a little. |
