skate wax

Ledge slide enhancer

Skate wax is a block of hard wax rubbed on surfaces to reduce friction for skateboarding or aggressive inline skating.

Skaters apply it to curbs, rails, and ledges to make grinds and slides smoother: Someone already waxed this ledge.

Most skate wax is paraffin-based, though some skaters use household candles in a pinch.
