ive read all over the place that you should detune the edges under foot if you want to start hiting rails. ive only been hitting rails for about a week, i didnt detune my edges but i did tune them to a higher degree for less metal to metal contact. is this a good idea, or should i detune them completly?
do what ever floats your boat buddy, i personally file down every pair of park skis i get before i mount them, on the other hand, my brother swears by letting them detune naturally by hitting rails, maybe im just lazy and dont want to wait that long, but its really up to you
You really don't need to, as said above, they'll get detuned from simply hitting rails.
Personally, I bevel the base edges 3 degrees underfoot, then 1 degree the rest of the ski. I also dull them underfoot with a file. Either way, they're going to get pretty fucked up. One thing that bothers me is you get some gnarly jaggies on your edges that can really catch, so I usually file those off every week.
man, my edges are sharp as my witty sense of humor. i dont have any problems with em, just try not to fall, cause that is when your edges will catch, and you will fall
