yeah shop guys love em...they just rave over the edge in the centre of the ski. it is supposed to take pressure off the base of the ski and off the two edges...but who grinds with their skis completely flat all the time? nobody, so in that respect it is a waste. however it links the two side edges together, so they will never pull out...that is pretty genious.

but the fact that it's metal makes the ski like a slab of concrete, they need something like lexan or some strong flexible plastic instead
