This is the truth.  Don't worry about it.  Edge aren't something you can control or worry about.  My afterbangs have edge and still work great.

edge cracks happen to almost all skis from hitting rails, it's not too big a deal, and there's really nothing that can do about it.

if you dull your edges before sliding rails they won't crack as quickly

My Afterbangs are way beat up, all four edges are cracked at midsole, but they're still the funnest skis ever. I took them to my local shop and they fixed one of the edge up nicely. I'm waiting for the other three cracks to get a little worse so that they can be fixed as well.

Cracking is normal, but that sucks that your core is cracking with it. Hopefully it doesn't rip core out with the edge.

Like said before, all skis eventually break after hitting alot of rails.  My afterbangs have a good amount of edge damage but still ride fine.  I'm hoping they last one more season.

Mine too, I do a lot of rails/ stuff thats not snow and mine have no cracks. My bases have a few dings in them though, hey seem soft. But since it's a soft ski, wouldn't it need a softer base so it could flex?

hmm, i've had extremes the whole year basically and they have no edge cracks yet. and i had the same pair of ar6s for 3 years before that (and part of this season).

no edge cracks in either, and i ski my skis hard.

but, i used my friends rossi scratches for 2 days and tore 4 inches of edge out underfoot.

i'm going to have to play the quality card here i guess. but, i hope the best for your afterbangs, i hear they're super dope
