Does anyone actual sharpen there edges?

[WVskiing]

Ok, I am going to be honest. Detuning your edges is one of the most stupid things a skier to do. I don't see how it "helps" on rails. I am a big dude and I hit rails pretty hard and never catch my edge. It the only way you can truly control your self while skiing on all that damn park ice.

When you ski on ice you kinda need edges so yes

I filed down the edges on my new skis, cause I would catch easily, and sparks would always fly. And I don't really use them outside of the park. But I occasionally sharpen my pow skis.

You are doing it wrong.

If you have to sharpen your pow skis ... you are not skiing pow.

Most of the time I use them to charge ice or hit a mogul line. They might touch pow twice a year.

I keep my pow sticks tuned. I tune the tips and tails of my park skis, but never razor sharp. I usually ski the sides of the trails to find the sugar when it's icy.

I do this also, it works fairly well.

no

When you land badly and slice open your leg with your freshly sharpened edge, you'll wish you de-tuned man trust me

Really you spelled their 'there'. Fuck off

 

[gerberfoods]

In my opinion, sharpening edges for park shouldnt be done

 

[Mingg]

I won't sharpen the part of my skis that would make contact with rails. I'll sharpen other contact points though when they need it.

Detune underfoot, sharpen from shovel to a few inches above the binding.

detune a little underfoot, leave the rest sharp

 

[JOTTO]

I had to de-tune my edges to hit this one urban rail because my edges kept digging into it every time I landed. Worked to my advantage in the end because I ended up getting it, but for park I don't really see the point of de-tuning, but I would never sharpen under foot.

Somewhat relevant, went to a shop to buy stuff to wax my skis and guy there sold me a kit that was like 20 wish more then the stuff alone, but came with stuff to sharpen my edges as well so I figured why not. Once I got home though I realized the guide only has 0 degree and 2 degree settings, I should just return it right?
