well my pvc rail isnt sliding anymore like it used to. speed is not the reason too because im dropping in from my 3.5 foot quarter pipe to like 8 feet of flat then to like foot jump that is level to the rail
it used to be like 3 feet tall and i was hitting it with my quarter pipe and i was sliding fine wtf should i do like wax it or something?

uhm.. doesn't wax create friction? What i do is just spread a little bit of dish soap across is before a sesh... then it slides like butter.

PAM works really well too. But if a regular candle did the trick, sesh away!

yo i used to use PVC for a skate rail, i tried it in the winter and its too cold, after alittle bit of riding or you edge slightly its gonna break.. pvc's too brittle for cold weather grindage
