Bu you need the grippy sticky for those kicks around the curves. - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:32 10
- You need the kick uphill as well. The only time you don't need is when you're double poling. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:35 9
  - oh...wax for your skis. *phew* -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 16:36 8
    - The one I buy is MaxiGlide. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:36 7
      - and that helps with the double-poling? or for everything else? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:38 6
        
        It helps for everything but uphill. You don't want to have too much glide or you'll backslide. For double poling, glide is critical. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:39 5
        
        You put the gliding wax on the ends, the grippy sticky stuff goes in the middle under the feet. - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:43 1
        
        yes indeed. For us low-rent skiers, we use "waxless" skis which have some treads for the kick, then we add glide wax. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:45
        
        oh, and for Freestyle skiing, you need all glide, no kick. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:42
        
        It sounds like those poles ... *puts on sunglasses* ... were SMOKIN'! -- nm - Horatio Caine si Feb 17, 16:41 1
