WAXING:


    Tools needed:

        1. Iron *not to be used for clothes again*
        2. Wax
        3. Scraper *best if plastic or plexiglass and wide*
        4. S.O.S. Pad

    Procedures:
        
      First see what kind of place you will be riding in and    
    use the right amount of wax.  If you dont know how much     
    to use, ask someone who does or go the easy way and buy      
    a wax for all conditions.
     
      Now set the Iron to about medium or the cotton setting,   
    just so it isnt steaming.   Now that the Iron has heated up  
    put the bar against the iron.  If the wax is smoking, turn   
    down your iron.  Now let the wax drip onto the base of your  
    board.  Let the wax melt in a line or drops all the way down 
    your board just enough to spread over the base of your board.  
     
      Working from the nose to the tail, use the iron to even   
    the coat over the whole base.  Dont go to fast.  Now Allow   
    the board to cool all the way.  
     
      You are now ready to scrape your board.  What you want to 
    do is press a lot of the wax into the board while removing   
    the access wax.  Start at the nose.  Scrape in the direction 
    of the tail.  You dont have to press hard to get the job     
    done though.
     
      After you have scraped the board smooth, use that S.O.S.  
    pad you have *even a sock will work if need be* to polish    
    all the wax.  Go in long, smooth strokes from tip to tail.   
    Then take all the wax off the edge of your board.
     
      There!! you are done!  not to hard is it??  Just remember 
    that the more you wax your board the longer your base will   
    stay in good shape!

    Always check your binding screws before you go boarding!  
    Lots of places now put a little nail polish on the 
    threads and that will keep them tighter then a lid on a pickle jar!.

    So you getting tired of riding with about a pound of 
    snow on your board?  Just put a thin coat of Furnature 
    polish on the TOP of your board and all that snow wont stick!

    Having trouble getting up after the hard fall??  Well here 
    are some tips that can help you with your problem!  There are 3 
    easy tips I can give you.  



      1. This one is called the Thrust.  What you do is make sure your 
         boards across the hill. Now lean back and push yourself up.
         When you stand up make sure you stand on both feet with
          even pressure.  You want to do it fast! 


      2. This is called the Pull up.  You lean forward, take 
         your back hand and grabbing your toe edge.  Then pull 
         with your back hand and push off the ground with your other
         hand...It will feel like you are going to stand on your
         hands but it will still work.  


      3. This last one is called the Roll Over.  I would say this
         is the easiest one.  Just roll over to your knees.  
         make sure your board is across the hill.  Now just 
         stand up on your toe edge.
