No better way to make what would be a banner day of riding into a frustration fest than a junky wax job so pull up a chair and prepare for a masterclass on how to get that perfect layer from Mr. Mark Fawcett. Mark knows a thing or two about waxing for an ultra silky smooth glide, the kind that wins the legendary Mt Baker Banked Slalom 2023. Congrats on the gold!

Here’s that wax job in action. Dude moves like a panther.
