In response to "Bu you need the grippy sticky for those kicks around the curves." by the liioulu with cowbells

You need the kick uphill as well. The only time you don't need is when you're double poling.

- 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
