Sliding rails w/o edges

[tribefan226]

the inside edge of my leading ski on rails is worn down a lot. barely there. i think its gotten down far enough that it no longer has contact with the rails when i slide them b/c tonight i slid a few rails and it was feeling really sticky. is sliding rails w/o an edge make it stickier or were the rails just sticky that night?

No. No edges = easier grinding.

 

[chames]

jus go faster and the sticky shit wont happen

 

[Easyspinner514]

you need more speed, alot of poeple detune undertoe to get the skis to the point you have

my edges are quarter circle shaped under my feet and pretty blunt all the way up. it's good like that.

 

[mitchin]

i dont have any edge under my feet cause it all got ripped out and it makes me slide faster so i have n o clue why its sticky for you

 

[youknomysteeze]

i have no edges once so ever, i cant stop on ice

 

[ECfreeski3]

no having no edges makes jibbing so great. i got so used to it that now that i bought "new" skis that have edges its taking some time to get back used to edges

 

[Big--Ben]

yea they slide but trying to do pretzels without edges is a pain in the balls

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Whatsoever?

my urban skis have no edges and they slide so much faster than my other skis

 

[eastAR5]

My main park skis have NO edges at all.... straight wood on ice . yea its fucked up for hitting jumps and trying to carve switch but

for urban i love it . It makes such a smoother slide, no worrying about catching an edge . The best part is how its completely silent when you slide, it feels like gliding not grinding

and yeah it does make pretzels/sizzoring a bit harder but not too much

 

[BvK]

it should make it feel frictionless w/o edges

Funny, I find it easier to pretzel and switch up when I have edge

 

[styl.tweakit]

one day whe i was sitting at home sick i decided to rip the edges out of my old skis underfoot, and i melted some ptex in the gap and over the side wall.

best jib skis ever. the only thing is when i scissor to slow myself for pretzel or whatever it is basically ineffective. but for just straight up sliding, tons better

Get your edges ground at a 3 degree bevel, then use a gummy stone underfoot daily, youll be good...

 

[huckaberry]

when you got no edges its easier to slide helps for wood jibs

 

[DwreckRoy]

To help the stickiness, make sure you have a good wax goin. Bare bases slide slower than waxed ones.

no edges defenitily make it easier to slide rails..
