at my hill a guy had a snowboard without edges. it was made by forum, i think, called the streetdweller. i'm not sure if it would work for skis, because they might be too narrow, but i want to see some like this.

Just give me a scene where the music is free and the beer is not the life of the party.

rossignol had a ski(rossinol powair grind) whare the edge wend like inside the ski under foot (the same idea on a burton dominit(sp?) slick snowboard) so you wouldent catch an edge on rails and stuff, i dont know if thats what u mean.

On the forum site it says that the street dweller is strictly for urban rail use, i dont think anybody whos not a park rat would ride that on a mountain.

really all you need to do is take a grinder and lightly grind down the edges and make sure they are rounded and not sharp at all i did it to my old cosepts and the edge it still on there after street skiing all year and it slides so much better

it's not even so musch catching an edge, it's just that edges break, they come up, fall out, and cause general disorder.

720Public_enemy is right. even do this on a brand new pair of skis. just run the edge under the grinder under the boot area. if the edges are rounded then don't really have a chance to break. its hard to explain why, but it is true. like, it makes sliding easy right off the bat, so there isn't any tension on the edges.

^^ Maybe that guy couldnt afford to buy another one designed for park use instead of urban, or he might have borrowed his friend's equipment for a day.

You're a dumbass for judging someone without knowing the real reason why that person used that kind of equipment on the hill.

hazel you dont sand anything down, you dont use sand paper on your skis. And really detuning is when you unsharpen your tips and tails, never right under your boot...although thats what people are doing now. So basically that whole post of yours was worthless, way to be a post whore.

the streetdweller has no edges not really so it wont catch on rails but so it wont get torn up on pavement and ledges etc.

I would like to see a cheap ski like that that you dont have to worry about messing up, just for urban stuff and all.

you better have lots of money if you want some skis like that... because it means you have at least like... 3 or 4 pairs of skis... and if not, then you shuold quit skiing.

do all ur edges really catch that often. I caught 1 edge this year and it didn't even send me forward, i just sorta slid off.
just my 2 cents

watch out for the Renditions comiin at ya!

I live in Dirty Jersey. I curse... a lot. I say -yo- and I say it often. I sure as hell dont pump my own gas. I know a bagel is much more than a fuckin roll with a hole in the middle. I judge people by what exit they live off the parkway. I can navigate a circle... with attitude. Two words-- mother fucker. I dont go to the beach, I go down the shore. I know that 65 mph really means 80. When someone cuts me off, they get the finger... and they expect it. I ride ice and i dont mind, 6 inches of snow is heaven for me. Im a Jersey Kid..

i think you're right about the vertical sidewall, concept. but i heard about something different with the edges too -- that the edges come like pre-beveled with a 45 degree slant. or something like that.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

if you grind the edges under neth the boot you will never break your edge off and you will still have an edge on the tip and tail to carve in the pipe and not slid out esay on hard paced stuff
