wesselmtI go to the snowpark to do some boxen and jumps
wesselmtI have been skiing for my whole life on race ski's. Sometimes I go to the snowpark to do some boxen and jumps but I have always wanted to do a rail sideways. Or a pipe. I was wondering whether it is possible to do with Fischer rc4 racing ski's.
DominatorJacquesOf course you can. Thing is, are you done racing them? If so you need to apply a long base bevel just like I told the other guy.
Look here and do it at least 1 degree. The file will tend to clog up as you go into the plastic. Use a medium or even a coarse file. Clean file with file brush frequently. Then diamond stone like crazy also cleaning them as you go. Use lots of fluid.
DolanReloadedAgain, pls explain this base bevel more.
DominatorJacquesHere it is again. You need to watch until I finish the filing of one base edge. It's takes some time as I use a medium file here.
With a cross cut bastard or panzar it would be quicker. After the file, you polish with diamond stones. (shown later)

DolanReloadedI cant believe that guy spent 5 hours on a single pair of skis
DominatorJacquesYea, nobody could. That's why I filmed the entire deal.
Keep in mind, there are 8 edges and four tips, sidewalls etc. so a lot of it is repetitive.
I do keep it as entertaining as possible though! Imagine taking for the whole time!!!!
So far they don't make a machine that can do what an artist can do by hand.
DolanReloadedWow. So are you rounding tbe edge when you bevel it or making it not reach as deep as the wax?
DominatorJacquesDolan, watch more of the video. I can't spell it all out here.
The only rounding of the edges in this case was tips and tails.
Sometimes I will also round an edge just in front of the binding for folks that cross the skis jumping and bang that part together.
There is (or was) no de-tuning (rounding) of any part of the edge of these skis in the video.
Just a good long base bevel.
The guy frickin' loved them and said ZERO catching and awesome carvability when needed.
Dude been riding park for many years.
DolanReloadedi already spent a long time fishing through that ridiculously long 5 hour video.
Can you please just explain what youre doing with the rail bevel? Why does it help avoid catching on rails?
DominatorJacquesHow many hours will you ski on a pair of skis?
The 5 and a half hours is worth it. It needs to be done when the skis are new. It will extend the life of the skis in rail riding.
If they were cap skis it would be quicker. Sandwich skis need sidewall shaping, so that takes longer.
Sorry you don't have the time.
Did you ever go to school to learn? Do you still go to school to learn? If so how many hours?
The help you want is in the educational video.

skiguy04CLEARLY A TROLL
theabortionator5.5 hours is a lot though. At a certain point Id just grab a couple key points and wing it. If I was racing maybe, detuning not so much. Park skis get thrashed a bit regardless.
skiguy04First post hahaha
Posting about grinds on race skis
WHY DO YOU GUYS EVEN RESPOND TO THIS GARBAGE HOLY COW KILL THIS THREAD WITH FIRE
CLEARLY A TROLL
GTFO

PeterkrekorianI started doing park on race skis did my first rail slide and 540 on them.

You expect me to sift through five hours of video to pull out a few minutes worth of actual explanation.

-eREKTion-Sw landing on race skis... respek
DominatorJacquesSure it's way narrower under foot, but it's all in edge control. The correct angle of the ski in relation to the surface.
It can and is done.
Respect Gets Respect! You are correct!
-eREKTion-I was thinking more about landing switch with a traditional mount and a flat tail. I respect all methods of snow sliding.
bike.life.beckSure, just take an angle grinder to your edges before trying it.
Jesse_Like skydiving without a parachute, you can do it. But only once.
DominatorJacquesHa ha. I'm sure it can be done all day long and then some. I know kids that could ski a 2 x 4
Jesse_There is a difference between 2 x 4s and razor sharp racing skis though. I could ski on dull but waxed 2 x 4 under the right circumstances. Josh Wong did it.Skiing on literal knives is a different story.
Also spending 5.5 hours detuning a park ski that'll get thrashed anyway is a waste of time tbh. It isn't worth it, like ON3P does an amazing job factory detuning their magnus skis and I highly doubt they spend 5.5 hours on just detuning alone. There is 100% a better method than the labor intensive one you have presented. You could argue that it'll "preserve the ski" but I am convinced what you do helps marginally at best.
