Binding Slime

We had this happen to a boarder and the force of the board dislocated his hip...very painful. We're lucky the board didn't hit him and break his leg...

On the note of sliding in and out of bindings because of extra slime and whatnot, I try to tell all people to put the slime only at the top of the binding (after the whole binding/board is dipped in the water first) and they usually slide right in. Then once ya get in, wiggle the board and feet around lots, just to get all the extra soap out.

We bought this slime called "Pimp Juice" or something like that, and it smells like grape kool-aid. And it's environmentally healthy!

I'm afraid to do a google search of 'Pimp Juice'.

Where do you get it?

Oh man, that brings up some bad memories!

I dislocated a hip in HS, not from watersports though.

I did the search for you and came up with something called www(dot)lubery(dot)com it was not for binding lube

We got it locally here, but they have it online at http://wakegiant.com/browseproducts/...DING-LUBE.HTML also. It does smell good though...
