New Ninthward Skis?

Kolaczki · 2012-04-07 01:54:43

So there rep sent me their new catalog and 1 new ski has and edgeless design for urban, and another has a removable/ replaceable edge so you can switch out after you get cracks. What do you guys think about this?

pretty good idea, but i think it would make the ski weaker, plus how would you change the edges and have them actually stay in place when u hit rails

Ridiculous

sounds cool but i think the durability wont hold up and a ski with no edges could only be used for urban because in a park you wont be able to hold an edge on a jump but i dont know should be interesting

I think it was burton...they had a board that didnt have edges in between the bindings. It was market as a rail/urban board. My buddy had one and he loved it, said that it carved fine unless you were on boiler plate ice.

What holds the edges in place then if they aren't epoxied into the ski? Sounds sketchy. And I think I would like to have edges even on most urban rails, its hard too even hit rails with no edge. Also more parts = less durability IMO.
