As u can tellt his is the sequal to the NEW SKATEBOARD thread from like 2 weeks ago.

Okay in the thread i was asking what skateboard to get...

Well i decided and last Thursday (No school Friday) i went down to 303 Boards and got a Element with Destructo trucks and blank wheels.

It is the "Have a BAM! day."

(If u don't care about this thread than please do not fill it up with spam. Thank You.)

I had bonez but they rusted to all hell.  Makesure you lube them with that sealent/lubrication stuff.  I forget what it is called at the moment.

I was also going to ask...

I went to 303 Boards (My local skate shop) and asked for some curb wax. The guy said he wouldn't sell me it because it was too expensive. I had the money but he said no. He told me to go next door to Target and get a block of Parafline Wax. He said i could get a like 4inch by 8inch by 2inch block of Parafline wax for like $1. So I got the wax but i have a question.

Would it be okay to put Parafline Wax on my skateboard. I would put the wax on to make the board slide across rails and copings for board slides, etc.

So long and short... Will it damage my nice brand new deck to but Parafline wax on the bottom to make it slide better.

Dont put it on your board, it will jus come off easier.  Put it on your grinding surface and rub it in by sliding your board on it and try a few grinds until it becomes nice and slick, then WAHBAM!  But yeah, putting it on your deck doesnt help too much.  Its easier just to curb it.
