One quirk about Fluorocarbon waxes is that they do not "like" hydrocarbon waxes (think oil and water). Fluorinated hydrocarbons (Dibloc LF and HF) are the link between them. They are a hybrid between the two types (hence the name Toko Dibloc).
Eli Brown was asked to do a weekly live web chat on waxing with the local NBC affiliate; the third session is at noon today. You can ask him questions online at UpNorthLive.com.

Here are photos from the MOST AWESOME backcountry XC ski trip I could have EVER experienced, especially since we had purr-fect weather, 20-degrees, little wind & mostly sunny, dressed in my Michigan XC ski clothes every day, except one!
Eli Brown made up for his third place finish in the 40k White Pine Stampede by winning the Michigan Cup Sprints. Laura Webb beat White Pine 20k winner Amy Powell in the women's sprint.
