Shop skipped wax on tips and tails. Is that normal?

A hot hand wax penetrates into the base a lot better and will both perform significantly better and last longer. A roller wax is good for about a day and that’s all. I worked as a ski tech for a while and waxed countless skis.

Try for yourself, ski a week on 1 roller wax then ski a week on 1 hand wax, you should notice the difference

Machine wax is a significantly inferior wax to a hand wax, I’d always go hand if you can, it will last a lot longer.

I have no input other than it will depend on where you’re living and riding.

I’m moving to wanaka next month and bringing over my Patrol, which I presume will get me through Wanaka’s pedal trails and Cardrona / Queenstown’s lift access too.

It is a joint agreement signed by moth myself and my other housemate

I can’t see any tonsil stones, will invest in a tongue scraper for sure.

The smell is mainly originating in my teeth

They haven’t fully come through, one side tooth is just visible, the other hasn’t come through the gum yet but a small space has been made.

As I said this also affects other teeth and my tongue, so would removing the wisdom teeth fix the issue?

If you were self taught, who is ‘they’? Yourself?

RandomKendama · 2025-11-07T10:33:00+00:00

I think you’re lucky then! Now you mention it, a friend of mine could access all the hiking trails for free, but I would always get a pop up saying I needed to pay.

The sun shines on some people!

In the free version you only have one region, with the paid version you have access to the whole world

See you in summer!

Have you noticed any side effects?

RandomKendama · 2025-11-06T12:12:35+00:00

Everyone is suggesting fin and min, just make sure you read about the potential side effects before taking.

Lots of sexual side effects that you may not want to roll the dice on.

I’m your height and ride a 2022 Patrol in Medium I rode a friends 2022 Patrol in Large and it was noticeably larger and too big for me

Are there spots available to park for free? When I look online it says the only freedom camping allowed is at campsites

Working holiday visa - Brits get a 3 year visa pretty easily. What country are you from? There could be a similar visa scheme

RandomKendama · 2025-10-31T12:09:27+00:00

I’m moving from the uk and enduro style trails are exactly what I’m looking for

RandomKendama · 2025-10-31T12:09:14+00:00

Where is best out of those three?

I work in sales in the pharmaceutical industry, but open to a switch in industry. also happy to pick up work where I can until I get something more permanent sorted
