So far what ski has held up the longest for rails. I have had dynastar candides, old 1080s, and armada ar5s. The armadas were the worst

What's with these icons bro? Sketchy. After hearing about the Chronics alot lately, and the new burly edges put on them, I'm sure they are some of the best and most durable rail skis out there.

with my pocket rockets, the edge didn't pull off the ski, the topsheet and core pulled off the base! I hated those fuckin skis, I wish I had a different username.

The Chronics have the fatty base and edge, but so do all the other Line Pro models.

I think K2 and Line are the best, but I have yet to destroy the edges on a pair of scratches (and I mess up and edge on rails a lot!)

Just remember that if you take good care of your equipment it WILL last longer. Especially when it comes to the base and edge of your skis. A lot of times the edges won't be level with the base and they'll get caught and rip off. Thats what P-tek, wax and files are for...

you mean like it's attached to the topsheet? I think Volant's edges go like this...
_/=====\_
^that's the edge, and it is connected throught the core to the opposite side, but I'm not sure

in case it's unclear, that is a cutaway view of the ski, as if you cut across the ski underfoot

I had lines, and i have 2 friends that had line, and it took about a year and a half for an edge to crack, and we have sketchy rail. I went to Scratches for a year and they look more rounded than my lines did at this time, but im still very impressed with how well they took abuse.

lines and k2 seem to work well for me, only thing that happens is the edge cracks but never rips out. My concepts on the other hand cracked all over the place and then a 6 inch section came out fuck that.

Both ^ and ^^ i completely disagree with. My friend bought PE's and after 3 days hated them. ANd he isn't a heavey grinder, and they didn't even hold up to well. And 1080's, my friends now has about a edge of half petex and the the other have metal. The edges fall right out. Like i have been saying, Mad Trix will hold up the best.

yeah, because of the way the 1080 is built, the edges arent suported well and will fal right out. as far as durability goes, useually the heavier it is, the stronger (more epoxy). thats why heads and volkls are as tough as they are.

jeez, no one mentioned 4frnt MSP's???!!
My edges lasted all season and are still not cracked after summer skiing too, I hit so many rails, they did get a little round, but not bad at all.

I bet you that 4frnts are stronger than lines. Until this year, Line's have been pretty bad. It's funny when a new company comes out and their skis are way better and stronger than all co. that have been here for many years.
