so in a lot of urban vids I see kids waxing down rails.

I know I'm a total idiot but, do you need to do this with all rails / boxes?
like say I was going to make a pvc rail, would I need to wax em?
and if so how do I do that sucsessfully?

not at all. pvc pipe slides very well. You will only see people wax urbans if it is sticky.

you dont need to on pvc, and on urbans just take any kind of wax, like skate wax or candels, and just rub it on the rail. not much to it really

1. Find wax
2. Pick it up
3. Hold in palm
4. Hold over rail/box
5. Push it into the rail/box with some elbow grease
6. Drag it up and down maybe even a circular motion if your waxing a box
7. Take your skis and drag them along the metal rail to work the wax in a bit
8. Sesh it
9. Have fun
