Do you have to get the edges on Afterbangs sharpened when you get them? Do they have to get sharpened any special way because they are wood?

No, if you just bought them you don't need to sharpen them. Hell, even after using them you probably don't need to. You're (hopefully) using them as a park ski right? If anything, maybe do the nose and tails, but not where you would grind on.

this is probably your first park ski...

do not sharpen the edges, park skis are better if the edges are dull ...

Yep, first park ski. I wasn't sure if they needed to be sharpened or not. Even if I did get them sharpened I would dull the base where you grind on.

Ski them through the car park. Then they'll be plenty dull.

Or you could just use a gummy stone/rock to de-tune the middle of the ski.

Up to you.








Wooden bases, I lol'd...
