Bluebird Wax

For 2010 Bluebird offers eight waxes. If you are not be familiar with Bluebird's history, the company was started by Willie McMillion back in... '96 sounds good. If you are not aware of Willie's skill set on a broboard, you probably know him from making spew-beer-out-of-your-nose-onto-your-cheap-date-that-night as he announced Travis Rice's Natural Selection contest which was so raw that Quiksilver chicken-shitted out, canning Willie and blocking most all of his commentary from the web. He really did up-star his fellow anchor man and Quik's golden child, Todd Richards (for the record, TR is legit in his own right).

Fortunately, Mr. McMillion has developed some of the best mixes (rumored from a Japanese chemist) for fast wax to float his ass on and off the hill. I don't know what they make their wax out of, I'll be honest, but I will tell you it is way the hell faster than all of the Purl or One Ball Jay waxes I have tried in the past. Bluebird's reputation for creating the best waxes, as well as standing strong with its team, have helped the brand become the most sought after wax of all heavy shreds form MFM to Johan to Guch to Rice. It's no wonder that most all the shops around the SLC area (especially Milo Sport) sell out so quickly, however they do sell through the site which has saved my ass a good few times.

I have used Bluebird's purple (all-temp), yellow (cold) and white (warm) waxes throughout the years-and blended them for those if'y days-and they all work beyond what one would expect. The waxes work so well, that I am now sending grips to my friends in Canada (which is a total pain in the ass), because as we all know everything is slower in Canada-even when it does snow there which it isn't.

Bluebird also prides itself in a small smattering of t's, hoodies (which are solid), hats and tools. The emphasise is on quality not quantity-which has been overlooked by so many other snowboard companies (especially the bullshit snowboard ones in beach communities). The bottom line is, if you like to drink beer, smoke and are out of shape-you should be waxing with Bluebird, so that you can hang with your friends that weigh 90lbs. less than you and are more beautiful than your fat, sluggish ass.
