Hey there is a new wax company that ive been hearing about, theyre out of Sandpoint, Id, and its called Podium WAX. they have been making sick stuff for racers, BUT, they are going to make some bars called STOMP that is actually affordable for us park rats and freeriders. I got some and the stuff is freaking amazing. They are going to start selling it next fall.

umm, its fucking insanely fast. Im skiing alpine meadow this year. and they have a big 50 footer into a jump thats like 85/90 feet. I am the only person that can hit both in a row. Josh Bibby was there today, and bunch of sick riders, all of them had to straight line past the first jump into the second. I was hitting the first and then carving into the second one. The stuff is great, I would rather scrub speed then try and make speed. Fastest stuff ive ever been on

Its not swix, its way faster than that, and I know it has some flouro in it, i dont know what makes flouro cheap or how much is in it. All i know is the podium is doing there own thing, its not a part of another company, and the stuff is nice.

IF you really want to know who it is, its Scott Barksdale whos making it. Its his company, We're still testing the wax to see whats fastest etc, I am testing some of it in tahoe since he has more stuff to finish by the end of the season. He currently is doing the majority of the work at the autobody shop that he is the head of. He has his hotbox and everything else there. If anyone is interested I can give you his info and you can talk to him.
