Cracked Egde

[TWoods]

My buddy has a cracked edge on his 05 fujis (second gen, the wood ones)

What would you all suggest (besides staying off rails, not skiing on them, etc) to keep them from coming apart more? I don' think there is any delam yet.

Thanks

and pretend you don't notice i spelled "edge" wrong.

how bad is it, my ar5's have the edge cracked in one place, and theres a chunk out of the edge in another, and im not having too many probs

 

[lyndon]

ohhh, maybe weld it together??

 

[pat-rickdaigle]

it's nothing to worry about..mine hade tons of cracks.

 

[tricksterboardin]

i have 7 cracks on one edge and im not doing shit about it except trying to slam them to how many i can get on one edge before i buy new skiis next year

 

[chewy15]

i had two on one edge, just ski em normally, and hope u don't get too much ice

 

[geraldo]

yea i would just ski them and hope for the best

my 04/05 PE's have one edge on each ski that has multiple breaks....4 on one ski, 5 on the other. There's about a one inch piece of edge that is compressing the sidewall and kind of bowing out away from the base of the ski. It'll probably fall out soon.....point is, I've been riding them this way all of this season (35 days) and some of last season, and they've still remained intact. I'm sure they'll be fine for a while

my skis have like 785795 cracks just ski them...

if you grind over the crack, it will probably help it, im being serious. when you grind, friction results, producing heat, which melts metal.......hence, you have made a soddering iron

youll live is my verdict.

yea on my pubs, i have designated a right and left ski since i got them a while a go. there are 3 cracks on the inside edge of my right ski. all directly underfoot. i have been skiing on it alot and nothing happens. i should probably switch my right and left ski.

 

[4frntSkier]

yeah it happens often

usually takes a while but its no problem

 

[TWoods]

Yea, I was just wondering what everyone thought. They are my friend's skis.

I had 2 cracks last year that resulted in a delam, then water getting into my core and my ski breaking. I know that if they delam you have to seal it, but i thought maybe there was something else that could help. Thanks everyone.

i have so many cracks on mine, its all good. they are untuneable anyways, dont worry about it

 

[skier_boy26]

i had about 20 cracks in my lines before they died. even if youre missing edge theyre still skiable. i was missing a pissload of edges from my ar5s

so whats the point of having a left and right ski? ive seen it before and my dad tried to explain it, but he was drunk.
