waxing a real is only going to make it slower...its different than skating...if a rail is sticky rub it vigorously with a piece of 2x4 or something similar

inb4 rub it vigorously heuheuheu

a ski works better than wood, as it is what will be sliding the rail inevitably

banana peels work pretty well, if only for a couple of hits. my friend swears by speed stick deodorant, but hes a bit eccentric so who knows what thats all about.

I used a candle and thought it slowed me down.

waxing rails is for skating. and really, concrete ledges more than rails but whatever...

For skiing, if you want to wax a rail, you might as well use a glue stick

Most resorts have ski rail wax and don't like it when people was it themselves. I've seen people at my resort get in trouble for it.

if you're hitting urban or whatever scrape all the rust off, and then wax it with whatever the fuck wax you want, and then scrape it all off with your ski. slippery as fuck. pam or any other non-stick cooking spray also works wonders and will slide like butter.
