BMX Grind Wax

Understanding BMX Wax

BMX wax is crucial for executing grinds and slides effectively. It's used to smooth surfaces like rails, kerbs, or any other rough terrain you are grinding across. Applying wax enhances the speed and duration of your grinds.

The wax used for BMX activities is versatile and can also be used for skateboarding and skating. Typically, these waxes are comprised of paraffin, beeswax, or a combination of the two. High-quality wax adheres well to surfaces without crumbling when handled.

Achieve Enhanced Grinds with BMX Wax

Grinding is a substantial aspect of freestyle BMX. Whether performing feeble, smith, or crooked grinds, wax is pivotal to mastering these moves. It makes your grinds feel more fluid and natural, allowing you to achieve greater speeds.

To apply wax, begin with a small amount spread across the entire rail. Test it with a simple grind. If sliding isn't smooth, continue to apply more wax until the right feel is achieved. Keep in mind that it’s far easier to add wax than to remove excess.

Wax Preserves Your Pegs

Wax also plays a role in safeguarding your bike. Grinding on tougher surfaces can wear down your pegs and damage your setup. Utilising a BMX grind wax block lessens the strain on your bike, thereby extending its lifespan.

Lack of wax may cause your bike to stick, heightening the risk of falls. There are many objects on the streets that may seem impossible to grind initially, but a touch of wax can easily smooth them out.
