Help out a future ski engineer

[Jibmaster_J]

'm making a call out to anyone that has ever damaged their skis on boxes, rails, other park features...Please post any pictures or links to pictures of broken ski edges, whether they be cracked, rolled, or torn out. I'm finishing up an engineering degree and my final project involves designing an improved ski edge. All I need right now is pictures so please help a brother out.

bump!

someone help this guy out!@!!

i mean i haven't messed mine up, but somethin with like mad triangles in it migt work lol

gl man!

titanium ski edges with diamond plate would be killer...but wayyy too expensive...anyway, i think its sick that your devoting your time to come up with a better edge....i hope you find something thats works

 

[chairdawg]

pm ecsm. his edge is soooo bad, its by far the most beat up ski ive ever sceen period.

 

[Jibmaster_J]

bump for more pics

thanks for the ones so far...everyone gets + karma

i cant get pics, but i over flexed my thrusters and popped the edge out in the middle. and i just broke a small section of my troublemakers out right underboot

word to that haha its just a wave now

Nice pics, keep it coming,.Any good shots of delamination or fractured edges under binding would be stellar.

what if they just did the titanium edges with diamond plate under the bindings where the edges get the most abuse from rails/boxes? Just a thought

if you hit me up with an e mail i can send them to you otherwise im out of luck my computer is being a dumb shit and won't let me load onto ns

 

[bikerocker]

this kids super legit... he was working on designing brake that don't snap when you land switch last year. I also used to live with him. you guys should be posting cracked edges, not delams though, major difference.

oh yeah, and nice topic jason, you're so god damn smooth even your rails skis have perfect edges. now if only you could throw a mule kick like i can.

 

[jimmer]

surface's new rockered ski?

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

they have brakes that dont snap when you land...there called Vist's or the old 4frnts.

I don't have a picture of an edge, but I'm interested in what you do as well as what you've studied. I'm applying to college with a major in engineering next year, but I'm still not sure what I'm interested in beyond that. feel free to pm me if you have the chance, thanks man.

 

[Obsessedwski]

I will actually hack NS and give you unlimited karma if you can get those unbreakable brakes in production and on the market

 

[coolhandluke]

are you planning on using a different material.....or anchoring.....any hints?
