Cracked edge...what to do?

[thefilmerguy]

aight so my buddy just got some used ski...they are all in good condish except for a small crack on one edge under foot...what should he do? is it fixable or should he leave it? he;s a pretty decent skier and i dont think he wouldve noticed unless he saw it

 

[thefilmerguy]

would it mess up the ski at all if he rode it as is?

 

[STACKS]

You should probably look at it for a while cry and then go buy some new skis.

 

[mrb]

or just ski it and forget about it

 

[thefilmerguy]

well yeah thats prolly what he'll do but would it end up messing up the ski or no?

 

[tjski]

if the skis are for park anyways dont worry about it

 

[thefilmerguy]

well its his one ski quiver so it'll be everything

 

[seward]

just ride it.

you wont even notice and the ski will be fine. my ar5's have atleast 7 cracks under the boot and they have held pretty for two seasons so far.

 

[quebski6]

if you want to try and secure it into place to prevent it from further cracking or whatever you can drip some base weld on it and follow it up with ptex... then just smooth it out

 

[=nick=]

that takes time and is pointless, just ride it will be 100% fine.

 

[SunapeeSkier09]

ride it and eventually they will just get kinda screwed up

 

[tremblantripper]

try not to jib rails, disaster or whatever and itll be fine

 

[R.Fahey]

If he's a legit avid park rider at all, it will just fall out anyway. Edges cracks are nothing.

 

[AKoblitz]

....just get an edge replacement

 

[d.spong]

file that shit

 

[thefilmerguy]

how much is that?

 

[xnick11]

I have edge cracks and I cant even tell.Just have him ski them.

 

[srwinnsuco]

ride um and hope it doesnt get any worse or you get any more, its inevitable these days.

 

[404404]

take it and smash in into the ground untill there are no edges.

 

[=nick=]

wat will that do? and edge replacement is dmb once u hit a couple rails itll be cracked again.

 

[ski_cartel]

dont sugest that. It is not worth your while to pay for a edge replacement, also not all techs know how to properly replace a edge so more damage may be caused. If you can warentie it the you do nothing but ski on it

 

[Black-Bandanna]

jea, its fine to ride as is. dont worry bout it.

It's very rare to have a pair of skis without edge cracks these days, your friend should be fine.
