Anybody else feel like your skis Run better when you dont detune your edges for rails?
i feel like when i detune the edges in the binding area i lose a little performance when carving or on jumps, so i only detune when i know im going to be hitting rails.
Who else?
its actually a curve in terms of carving performance, it actually peaks when you rip out all your edges, give it a try. Here's a peer-reviewed research chart

Thanks for that. Full on "Hand Jobs" take time! ;-)
Before you de-tune a set, try the "Long" base bevel method.
If it doesn't work for you, you may not have made the bevel long enough.
Anyway, you can always destroy the edges later if you don't like it.
After a lot of rail hits, the underfoot area will become ruined no matter what you do, but my method will make the edge hold out a bit longer in most cases.
Also, a ski with a long base bevel will glide a bit faster too, all other factors being equal.
I stumbled upon your ski tuning video last season on YouTube somehow and I’ve always wished I could get my park and all mountain skis tuned by you. A true master of your art - never change man

Well, I make the videos so you can learn to do it yourself! Practice makes good. Good thing may take some time to learn, yet in the end are well worth the time.
Thanks !
