snow|3oarder Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Most people seem to run 2 on the side, 1 on the bottom. However, if you are new to tuning and your board is new, you may want to ask a professional to do the intial tune and watch how they perform it. If you go to hunter, being from bk, philty o's in tannersville is a decent place to get a hand tune done. Waxing is pretty easy. You can use a regular iron, preferably without holes. However a cheap ski/snowboard iron may be worthwhile because they seem to have a more constant temperature which makes waxing easier. Harder waxes seem to work better in the northeast because the conditions are so abrasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Check out the Wax WHIZard for waxing: http://www.alpineskituning.com/raysway.waxwhiz.htm It was discussed in this thread http://www.bomberonline.com/VBulletin/showthread.php?t=8015&highlight=wax+wizard The Wax Whizard is much easier than hot waxing and no mess to clean up when you're done. I went from hot waxing my board maybe twice a season to waxing with the Wax Whizard after every day of riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 The best system that you can get: www.tooltonic.com As for the angles, don't make it sharper than 88 degrees, maybe you can add 1 degree bevel. Cheers, István Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
