Sliding Concrete?

I've seen in edits and movies people sliding concrete. I've seen around town some sick concrete and I was wondering if you need to wax it or hit it with lots of speed? Thanks

You honestly don't even need to wax it if you hit it fast enough. Higher speed makes friction less relevant, because the coefficient of friction of skis on concrete can easily be changed by a variable that is completely unrelated in any way, shape, or form to it.

rub brick > spray laquer > wax > ski

Speed is a factor related to the act of sliding across concrete on ski's.  Momentum is necessary to carry you through the slide against the drag force cause by friction.

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Just piss on it and let it freeze. Ice slides like nice.

Pep Fujas used to actually Shit on Boyd Easley's hand, then apply to concrete ledges (the infamous ledge he slides in the pink headband w/ wisdoms) .. watch the 1242 bonus section for proof.
