look no edges underfoot

I'm sure that's useful for a lot of tricks but edges are also useful. If your going to do that you need to have a pair of skis with edges to.
 
lol goodluck ripping out your edges, its the future of skiing hahi think youd have to constantly be on a rail for this to be a good idea
 
if they mad a ski where the edge grew as u get closer to the tips so it wouldnt catch as much and slow u down, itd actually be pretty sweet
 
in the eye trip commentary thing they said he did that so his skis would slide on the tennis net. i guys the edges dig into it or something
 
It's how he slid the tennis net too.

I'm sure he doesn't have these for skiing on a regular basis/normal urban, probably just for sliding weird things (like chains and tennis nets).
 
i think he uses it all the time line probably does it for him so its not like ripping out edge its built with more sidewall or base underfoot?
 
That would be awesome for just sliding rails normally, but would be a bitch when you're trying to grip the rail for switchups or spins out.
 
silly muggles, master wesson is obviously a graduate of the ravenclaw house where he mastered his intelligence, creativity, learning, wit, and balance.
 
side note.. *disclaimer: could entirely be a rumor*
word has it line is testing/developing a ski that has wooden edges underfoot that would just wear down over time instead of crack.
 
I have these ski's cause i bought them from LJ (/claim). LJ said they were made to be able to slide wood and stuff like that better. They are pretty nice for rails as they slide super smoothly, but it's a little more difficult to pretzel. They absolutely suck on ice (obviously) and can make skiing regular stuff kinda sketchy. I might be able to post pics if you guys really want me to.
 
pics are in my profile. i'm to stupid and can't figure out how to post them in the thread. if someone else can that'd be cool
 
no way he uses those every day, it'd be nearly impossible to pretzel like he does with no edge under foot
 
Busted! Wow you guys pay close attention to this. True we made a few skis (no edge entirely and none underfoot) for some athletes to try out and use on bad sliding material (brushed aluminum, wood, chains, ect). It make the ski real flexy and way less control (hence not mass producing) but its cool to see what can be done with them. Yay trying weird things!
 
I'm gonna just take a wild wild guess into the future that line will probably be the first ski company ever to produce a ski that is fully for jibbing rails only and not other stuff in the park.
 
not that crazy, i used to have some skis i beat for 4 years and in the last season they had no edge underfoot and the place where it ended was jagged and sketchy. felt nice on all kinds of jibs but yeah obviously didnt shred hard snow too hard. whatever you get used to it
 
They used to make a snowboard called the dominate slick that didnt have edges under foot. I always thought that would be helpful in the park but they it would completely suck everywhere else.
 
forum made a board in 07 that was completely for urban snowboarding. it had no edges at all, was incredibly soft. a decent idea to try out but it really sucked as a snowboard. basically rode like a plastic board from walmart. it was really cheap so if you needed a deck to destroy on some street stuff i guess it was a good idea.
