so after a day of messing around on the rails, i took a look at the bases of my skis and realized that they were kinda messed up. does anyone know what i can do so i can keep my skis in good shape for carving and stuff, while still grinding (cuz grinding is tight). at this point i dont know if sharpening the edges and waxing will help. any suggestions?

 
sharpening helps up to a point. eventually your edges will hopeless, but you can keep them in somewhjat decent shape untill then.

 
like what

wonderful things happen when men and mountain meet, that cant be done while peddling on the street -- except jibbin' it up baby!

just get any pair of skis that are cheap and you wouldnt care about, and grind away til the edges fall off.

Wear your skis one way for rails and then swap them for carving. That way, only one set of edges gets blunted a lot.

 
i really dont see th epoint of buying nice skis if you arent gonna be able to use them for half the stuff you like to do. just wax your skis regularly, you might want to use a harder (colder) wax under foot as for the edges just de bur them with a stone (like the hockey skate ones). your edges should get a bit dul underfoot but that will help prevent them from catching and it is such as small area it wont make a significant difference in the carving ability unless there completely rounded and your on sheer ice. mine are rounded and its fine.

suepr awesome cool!
 
ok

im grinding the rail that i made for my back yard and after a couple days the edges dont look that bad, i think im gonna have to just deal with a little dullness.

what now.... ?
 
get pe's they have a thicket edge than other skis just for grindings, they dont wear out easy

i cant describe the vibe i get when i drive by 6 people and 5 i hit
 
who cares man.. my skis are fucked.. they still work.. don't cry about it.. shit happens.. and who needs jib skis man.. i only have 1 pari.. thats all u need man.. 1 pair of fucked up skis

Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.

It should only affect you on ice...so dont ski on ice, its more fun that way anyhow.

jsut detune the skies under your feet and then make sure that if you have areas that need p-tex you do it and wax them before every day
