So today I was hitting the airbag at my local summer setup hill, and it was my first day on my new Traveling Circus skis 2015. Did a Japan 3, came down, and somehow sliced my pinky open ON MY SKI EDGE. Anybody ever experience this? I'm wearing gloves from now on. Should I dull my edges?

I literally did the same thing on my backyard setup a week ago. My pinky got sliced real good. Lots of blood.

I never would have imagined that they could be so sharp.. Luckily they just glued it shut and I went on my way

It happens with new skis but you might not want to use new skis on the summer set up because it might trash them

Nah you held that grab so good you landed still grabbing. Never mind slicing you finger thats just a side effect of holding a G as grab

I let go of the grab coming down.. My hand dropped to my side as I bounced into the bag for maximum steeze effect.. And I guess somewhere, lost in the after bang, my pinkly gave a sensual lick to my edge.

It is BBQKittenWings fault. He should send you 58 bucks.

That shit happened to my pointer finger yesterday. I just rubbed some mud in it to stop the bleeding and kept lapping though because I'm more raw than stept.

You just need to work with your hands more. They'll get cut up, callused and tough soon enough.

I did this last winter trying to block off some jerry so he didn't get run over. Moms skis were sharp as fuck. Was not stoked.

one time I did a triple cork but threw it so hard that when I got the high mute grab the momentum was wrong and I cut my hand off
