Alright maybe it's just me which i'm assuming it is but, my pvc rails i have are putting huge endinations on the bottom of my skis and some are even taking out chunks of the bottom them as well. Is this because i'm jumping too hard on the rail, or not having enough speed or too much speed? +k for help -k for dumb answers.

The same shit is happening to me. I barely get any speed, so that could be the reason seeing as we both have that problem.

yeah i have no idea whats causing it or if i'm having too much speed or not enough? I think what is happening is that i'm going too slow so i'm compensating but poping really hard and causeing myself to slam on to the rail?

Picks of rail and specific spots that you think are causing the damage.

happens to me occasionally. your back foot doesnt make it all they way on the rail, so it lands kinda diagonal to the sharp front bit of it, so it cuts it away as it slides up and on

ding ding ding. Essentially if you can find a way to get more speed it won't happen.

IDK I think pvc is much better for backyard set-ups, if I had metal instead of pvc rails I would trash my skis way quicker.
