the more leg workouts and rails that you do, the more stable/comfortable you'll be on rails so your edges will hit less and you'll get less chips. unless your perfect, its bound to happen a bit, everybody falls sometimes
yeah thats just cosmetic damage but do yourself a favor and detune the edges underneath around your boots with a file. might help from catching on a rail because the edges of these skis will rip out which is mostly what people are talking about on here when they hate mad hard on suspects.. i got them warrantied and they look a lil better than last years. hope they hold up for you but just a heads up if in three weeks they're cashed, dont be surprised
