The difference is simple Strawberry(red), Raspberry(blue). A lot of people get them mixed up with cold and hot temp based wax, but they are not.

Now i cannot answer your next question 100% because our wax is not 100% fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon like most companies it is indeed different. This is whats sets us apart from others, We start with a paraffin base wax and we have modified its structure to produce results as you would get from a fluorocarbon while holding a much larger snow temp variance. We have in a sense (very simple example) combined hot and cold temp together and maximized the temperature flex the wax can with stand with the same quality as a temperature specific wax.

With our wax you are able to ski all year round and only use one kind never having a question.

We test our wax in the cold winter days, to the warm temperatures up on mount Hood in the summer.

There is not a lot of difference between the two, the main difference is the melting point for when they are used for hot waxes which helps the wax be absorbed better into the bases.

BSD is mad legit. Started using their rub on wax and hot wax b/c a friend of mine rides for them. I don't have a single complaint. Not to mention the price is essentially unbeatable.

Light get a block when I run out of what I have now. Do you have any unscented waxes? Because the smell of plain wax is unbeatable IMO

7 days max, but for a couple of our sponsored riders and shops we have in PA usually 4-5 on average. Also give us 24 hrs after your order is placed to ship as well.

BSD is super legit. Both the deodorant stick and the bulk brick work amazingly. And the price is on point. Definitely recommend it.

Been skiing this on my park skis and pow skis since the season. Quite impressed. Transferred over from Swix.

Only noticeable difference is the lifespan of one wax.

On average what we do, as well as our riders, we wax every 4 times of riding we go up, and the brick should last anywhere from 10-15 hot waxes depending on size of skis or snowboard.
So on average a brick should last 40+ days of riding.

Everyone at BSD is very excited on how all of you have been enjoying our products. We have decided to offer a FREE sample to the FIRST 50 people to message our NS account.

All you need to do is send us a SASE. If you don’t know what that is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-addressed_stamped_envelope

we’d very much like you to attach proper postage please! 



Once you have messaged us we will secure your spot.

We then will give you the correct address to send your SASE

Then you shall receive your wax shortly after we receive your envelope!

(any standard sizing envelope will work)


If there is not prepaid postage back to the sender we are not obligated to pay postage back.

Hope you get the chance to test out our wax!

Wish i saw this earlier but whatever. I bought the bulk blue and its great, took it to sunday river and rode saturday at like 35 degrees and then sunday at about 10 with no difference. When you scrape it off it smells fucking wonderful too.
