i haven't been sliding rails for very long so i was just wondering, what kind of damage do rails do to skis and how often would the skis have to be raplaced?

i would honestly recomend getting a really shitty pair of skis to do your railsliding on, i have a pair of k2 mambas that i got for 50 bucks with 50 dollar marker bindings on em, im gonna fuck them up real good


my intire crew waited for his ass at the bottem of the hill and beat the shit out of him. i broke his poles agianst a tree, and we snapped one of his skis. fucker got uppercutted so much. he was bleeding from his eyes and shit, crying like a little pussy. i busted out a body slam on his ass and broke both of his arms. the ski patroler broke up the fight and clipped all of our tickets. we where gonna beat the shit out of the patroller but my mom came to pick us up.

Hey, after you take a crap and wipe your butt and then go to wash your hands, do you guys turn on the faucet with your wipe hand or the other one?

I snapped my edge on my 1080's last season. It fucks the edge up perty good because unlike snowboarders we always hit rails on the same spot. I would also recommend using shitty ass skies. If your a poor bastard like me buy old skies and torch the tails and make your old twin tips for rails.

Rail sliding is fine on your skiis.....most of he time. It will nick them a bi but you can easily deburr em. Worst that could happen is you smash or rip your edge but that rare.

So lets say it smashes or tears an edge. Can a ski shop fix that or not?

if your edge falls off a shop or the company of the ski can fix it but it costs a lot, almost to the point where its not really worth it unless their good skis.

take a hot iron and go along th edge of your choice, do it until you can feel the edge loosening and then pop it off, get is warrantied for a new pair

i never tried this, but i know someone who done it with tons of snow boards, so don't take my word for skis

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

If you bust your edge on a rail, send it to me and I will fix it for you for a very large price.
