Effects of grinding on your skis

hey, its called 'grinding' for a reason.
'about 15-20 minutes after i'd started pushing, the thing came out of my ass. I felt so relieved i started to cry. now here's the funny part. Because the shit was so hard and so big, after it was out my body went into shock. I turned all clamy, my clothes and my body were soaked in sweat, and i started to shiver and spasm uncontrollably. I just sat back on the pot and decided to wait it out. I sat on the fuckign toilet for over an hour with sweat forming a puddle on the floor, and me feeling like i'd been shoved under snow with no clothes on.' Crystaline Skier

how bad does it hurt your ability to carve and such?

CE keeps the grinding in the sheets. we dont worry abour fucking up our edges, as long as we are....fucking

'When I'm mad as fuck you get shot and to some it's bad luck, I believe you held something back for too long, it grew strong and energy got its own will, and people think that we make music still, but music is there without you or me we just minipulate for better or worse so let it situate.'

street skiing is the shyt// dont ski rales if yor gunna complain about the bumps and bruises on yor skis

No, not ice rails.

PVC or metal. Do they severly scratch up the bases or edges? Anything noticeable?

PVC is not that bad on the edges, but metal dulls your edges out pretty bad ass

the good thing about edges is you can always resharpen them

If you are a good skier who is used to performance, you will lose ALL capabilities to ski on ice.

Powder, soft and courderoy are fine, but say goodbye to ice.

I've wiped out on green runs because I hit an ice patch and there's NO edges left.

Especially if you have a racing background and you're used to riding your edges.

it matters if your a good skier, if your good you can ski with any kind of ski and jib with any,
but if you mess you on pvc nothing should happen but metal can ripe an edge out


If your attack is going well, then it's an ambush..

if your edges get rounded just sharpen them like once a week if you want performance on other parts of the mountain.

I don't think we're talking about the same kind of ice here.

Sure 'if you're a good skier, any ski...' but seriously... If you do a LOT of rails, the damage is unrepairable, and will SERIOUSLY affect your edging abilities. ONly on ice though.

Skibum: that only works if you don't do a lot of rails.

This is like the 10th time somebody has asked this...
it all depends how good you are and how much you jib. A little isn't bad but for street jibbing you should get a new pair of skis

Metal rails will make your edges nice and wavy, but it really doesn't effect your skiing, unless you plan on like racing the next day. And you can get them fixed at the end of the year or when ever if they get too bad.

Yeah, but if you have messed up edges, your ski won't hold as well. It might slide out on icec. But it really isn't that bad. it's not gonna totally destroy your edges or anything. Especially if you only do rails every so often. But if you are a rail'a'holic, then ya might wana be careful.

if you do it a lot, you will destroy your skis, therefore it is good to have a pair of skis for park and a pair of skis for other stuff


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.

It doesnt do much unless you disaster to rail or something. That would probably mess them up a lot more.

My girlfriend told me to shove my skis up my ass

Smuggs ripped the edges right off both skis last week, cause of rails
