unsharpen them



Freeskiing is a lifestyle, and true skiers are the ones who live this lifestyle, not the ones who follow it.

u can either keep hittin rails and let em detune on their own, or u can do it w/ a gumstone, or sand paper, whatever u want

permanently destroy your edges: find a file, and start filing your edges down. Just don't expect your skis to ever turn properly again.

Just switch your skis up when you're in the park. That way the edges you fuck up however you want on rails aren't quite as important when you're carving a turn.

Humm, i hadnt thought about this. I've done lots of railsliding this summer and early winter, but mostly on grassy stuff so i havent been using my new skis. I wonder if i'm going to have a problem the first time i try to jib with them.

well seeing as how the part of the ski you slide rails with is not the part of the ski you use to carve, filing down the edges under the boot wont do shit

Hehehe first of all I agree, dulling your edges is a must for nailing rails but its funny..what would racers and dudes from before rails think of us saying 'just grind your edges down and detune those bitches' kinda funny

Are some skiers trying to copy snowboarding?

Tanner: There\'s a small group of people that are doing that, but I think for the most part, there are a bunch of Rollerbladers and skiboarders that are being gay.
