Rail vs Nes skis

Hey everyone, I just got new skis for this season (Scratch's) and I just came back from a few hours of skiing in Mont Saint-Sauveur and they have a kinked and a straight down about 8 inches wide. I tried railing them a few times but each and every time i either had to jump it off in the midle or i was kinda lagging on it (there was no sliding what so ever, it felt like concrete). Normally you'd prolly say that this is cause I really cant stomp rails, but actually I usually dont have any probs with rails. Could it be because of the new skis, I tought it's because the skis have brand new edges and maybe they cut in the rail, and that would be my rpoblem because i was used with old skis wich had their load of rails. Anyways, could you guys tell me what you think, could it really be becaus eof the ski edges and if so whats should I do, or is it just me who lost the touch for stomping rails. I believe photos of those rails are somewhere around on the website. It's in mont saint-sauveur.

Btw, could i use something to deshrap my edges or it just comes with time?

Regard Nes

 
its because your edges are new and sharp they are catching on the rail dont worry they will dull soon and you will be sliding like a slippery little salamander

 
^Nice.

lautre jour la flat a st-sau a collait , peut etre que cela tes arriver au pire , frotte tes ski ensemble en dessou de tes fix sa peut toujour aider ou sur un tuyau de metal mais sinon atten sa va se deguiser a la longue

 
yea, when edges come out of the factory they are FLAWLESS.....as sharp as you're ever going to get them.....just skiing hardcore for a few says will put these bitchy edges in they're place tho...dull enough to rial but solid enough to hold they're own on the rest of the mountan

 
yeah, i had that same problem, i didnt realize it was the sharpness of the edge messing me up and i had NO confidence on rails cuz i thought it was all me. but it was, for once, my skis.
