I spoke to a service man of the Russian National Team during my visit
to Moscow a week ago. He just came back from a START waxing clinique
in Finland. He told me that START came up with a new "grip tape"
that will make kick wax and klisters obsolete. He says the tape works
between
-20 and +5 and stays for at least ~250 km. Applying the tape is like
applying scotch tape. Sounds unbelievable. If it's true I may start
classic skiing again. Does anyone know anything abut this?
