How to $ave Money
Shit. We all know the story. You just got a freshie for the year but destroyed the base before the resort even opened. Now you’re fighting for speed all day and you can’t clear any of the jumps. Your friends keep telling you to wax, but if you’re anything like me, you’re too lazy. Chances are you’re also not gonna have your base tuned up at the shop because you’re lazy and still financially recovering from getting the damn thing in the first place! The thing is, even if you did wax your shit, you’d still go slow because your base probably looks like a cheese grater. What you really need is some P-Tex. But let’s face it, if you don’t have wax, you probably don’t have P-Tex either.
So, I’m gonna let you in on a secret. You can find P-Tex anywhere. You can find it in dumpsters, alleys, and beaches, you just have to know what you’re looking for. Now here’s what you’re gonna do, go down to your local market, grab a razor blade and a pack of the beer. It doesn’t matter what kind of beer but it’s critical that you get the one with the little plastic holders on top that kill the sea turtles. They won’t teach you this in school because the snowboard industry doesn’t want you to know this, but those things made of polyethylene, the exact same kind of plastic they make P-Tex out of. Once you get everything you got to drink the beer, melt the plastic into the base, cut off the excess and voila, you just fixed your board. Don’t forget to wax your shit after though or else it won’t run.
P.S.
I’ve been doing this shit for years and it works great.
