alright, i made a stupid move, i bought the dominant slick, when i should have just gotten the dominant.  I live on the east coast, and like usual, the mountains are almost always icy, including the park, ive been riding 3 times so far with it, and i just cant grip the snow at all.  I wanted to know if and shops would be able to sharpen the edge, even though its not a metal edge its just like plastic,
Also if there are any wax's can help me grip the snow better


Thanks

the board would be nice with metal edges
i did not consider the fact that i would be boarding on ice 50% of the time
also i bought it on sale for 180 so it was a good deal
if i call burton what could they do?~

I don't know, but you should at least try. Give them a partial sob story about how you screwed up, and ask what kind of deal they can throw you.

or just do rails, you can really catch an edge so you could get super good at them. if you ride park in the east, i think you could do pretty good with a slick
