i usually just dull the edges underfoot, and that helps alot with catching on rails

I have my edges detuned for about 6 inches underfoot.. purely for rails,, i never caught an edge on a box so i didn't detune more than that. i find doing more than that starts to fuck up the all mountain performance too much.

^ this is waht i did before i got my new skis

now i use one pair for surely jumps and pipe - super duper sharp all the time

and a jib pair -  completely rounded underfoot from binding to binding, and i tune with a high bevel everywhere else.
