haha, shit. if you want to talk about blown edges, talk to lpskibum. part of the edge on his cow print concepts was hanging off, so he just ripped it off of his ski.

Don't count on getting them replaced. I tossed an edge on my volkls after using them maybe 8 times and they are not doing shit for me.

i have no edges left on my 178 concepts, the edge broke on each ski then it went downhill from there, the snow started to tear the edges off and now im left with 2 of my original 4 edges.

for sliding rails, get some old skis with grind plates, like rossignol used to make.

Ski them to death then buy new ones and then keep the old ones for urban. I f you fix them they will break again right away.

i have a cracked edge on my blue 1260s, what happens if the edge falls out? So far the white stuff in the base is cracking where the edge is cracked and i dont want the base coloring stuff to get completely fucked

At least its not Salomon, they have the worst possible waranty. Im not sure how bad volkl's is, but i can imagine. Salomon won't even talk to you about ski damage

If the edges come off underfoot, can i file down the sharp part of the edge where the section came off so they won't tear off in snow, or wont that work?
