The ski looked normal except for the fact that on the base. The edge bowed inward right under foot, and then they put p-tex on the outside of the edge so that they would slide rails easier. I had a pair, and I feel that they only made it harder to slide rail, because you had to have some gorrilla steez to keep the skis from shooting out from under you. They would have beeen better had the ski been wider so that they were more stable. They also didnt hold an edge worth shit while just doing normal skiing.








I have a theory that all retards have one long tendon that goes from wrist to wrist, so therefore that is why they always are screwin around with one wrist up, and the other one down.

I just got a pair of pow air grinds and they hold an edge fine. They are so nice best skis I've ever ridden. And no they dont slide out on rails unless u suck at sliding rails in general....actually they make it easier cause you don't catch an edge. They should def come out wit another one and just make it wider it would be so dope!

Well you are partially right^, I do suck at rails, but I also find it easier to slide rails on normal skis than I did with my Pow Air Grinds. And when I said that they couldnt hold an edge, I was comparing them to a normal pair of skis. But I wouldnt ever go and get a pair of those again, just because I seem to slide rails better with normal skis, and plus I like to have an edge on my ski where you need it most. But I do agree that they should be about 85mm under foot and then they would be perfect for sliding rails.
