How long is it? It looks really short in the picture. Now a recap of my day:
Scott and Tim come over and we totally get owned on my flat rail, the edges keep digging it and you go to your face, we have to grind the corners off. Anywho I come at it and my front ski digs in so bad that my binding comes off (at 8) and I fall and smash my leg. It's swollen up to the size of a baseball. we then decide that the rail's not safe so we go to scott's house and hit up his rail. We all manage 270 off and nobody gets hurt (except for scott who gets a cat thrown at him).
I don't know, according to my dad it's because the surface is slightly concave so that there's really little surface area that the skis can actually slide on. He could be right because it is steel and they use steel for rails everywhere and because if you look at where you catch on the rail you'll see that it's on the sides only. I'm going to take a grinder out there and take the corners off and try that. If that doesn't work and worst comes to worst I can always screw some puckboard on or put some angle iron there.
