Replying to All edges break

Just saw a post with one person wondering about which edges last the longest, and I have seen other people ask about this befor to, well this is just a little extra info for people who dont know. When you slide rails (metal on metal) somthing is bound to happen and it is most likely going to be to the couple of mm is metal on your boards. When you slide the edges heat up, when you land on the snow, they cool down, this tempers the metal making it harder and more brittle. What happens to brittle metal? it breaks, it doesn't bend but breaks. The thicker edges used by snowboard companys and now by line may last a little longer but they will do the same thing, as for people who break there edges first time on rails, thats just bad luck, you probably knocked the rail a little hard along the way causing your edge to break. That all it is, unless some companies start spending some money on testing new alloys that are lest prone to becoming tempered its all gonna be the same ski to ski. Once again this is just for the people who didnt know. And if I got some info wrong or you got somethin to add let it out.


I just wanna ski, is that to much to ask in life
