yeah if you ride rails hard your edges will crack no matter what, i mean sure some ski companies use a little thicker edges, but in the end if you smacking you skis against steel rails, they will crack. But, they should hold for a while before ripping out, unless your hitting urban

this. they crack but it will take longer before it becomes a problem. i normally just take a thin file and round out the edge where it is cracked
