'm making a call out to anyone that has ever damaged their skis on boxes, rails, other park features...Please post any pictures or links to pictures of broken ski edges, whether they be cracked, rolled, or torn out.  I'm finishing up an engineering degree and my final project involves designing an improved ski edge.  All I need right now is pictures so please help a brother out.

titanium ski edges with diamond plate would be killer...but wayyy too expensive...anyway, i think its sick that your devoting your time to come up with a better edge....i hope you find something thats works

Nice pics, keep it coming,.Any good shots of delamination or fractured edges under binding would be stellar.

what if they just did the titanium edges with diamond plate under the bindings where the edges get the most abuse from rails/boxes? Just a thought

this kids super legit...  he was working on designing brake that don't snap when you land switch last year.  I also used to live with him.   you guys should be posting cracked edges, not delams though, major difference.

oh yeah, and nice topic jason,  you're so god damn smooth even your rails skis have perfect edges.  now if only you could throw a mule kick like i can.

 I don't have a picture of an edge, but I'm interested in what you do as well as what you've studied. I'm applying to college with a major in engineering next year, but I'm still not sure what I'm interested in beyond that. feel free to pm me if you have the chance, thanks man.

I will actually hack NS and give you unlimited karma if you can get those unbreakable brakes in production and on the market
