if sparks are flying a lot its probably the rails.

not to start anything but i always wondered why line never incorporated their grindplate idea they had with the line weapon skiboards. for those of you that never saw these line removed a 12cm section of the board right in the center of the skiboard and replaced it with 12cm of plastic or something then made grooves in the edges for locking onto rails just like inlines. if ski companies have already come up with something to help grinding then sorry i didnt know i still skiboard and am trying to learn as much as i can about skis for next season.

cause there are so many types of rails it would never work, plus no matter if u implement it or not you will still have edge damage, not base damage, my bases are perfect, but my edges are round underfoot

they already made skis like that with a grindplate on them - rossi pow air grinds. whats with all you newbies who have only been skiing for a year. if you have been skiing for longer than that you would know these things

yah it doesn't seem like a grindplate is a good idea, seems like it wouldn't do anything for boxees, and would be a pain for curved rails etc, plus i really don't need/want help locking on, thats the best part about grinding


I like it when the red water comes out.

I think rossi ought to bring those back. They didnt sell well because the sport was still hitting the mainstream and rails were still in their infancy

^ i have them now and ride them, they are crazy fast on rails. Fun ski but yea the grind plates kind of a bitch for riding on hard days. Also NO do not remove an edge for grinding thats the worst idea ever. grinding sidewall is the wworst shit ever u like stick to the rails and dont slide smooth.

i agree that there are too many types of rails to make a grind plate work but i would think it would at least reduce wear. also on the skiboards i mentioned there was no edge or sidewall where the grind plate was i dont know for a fact but i wouldnt think that on a ski it would effect the handling that much if it had a next to nothing effect on the ride of a 90something cm skiboard. thats pretty interesting to know that a company has tried it tho i would have guessed someone would have done it. also i think salomon did it some years back for one of their sb10 skiboard models.

round off your edges a little with a file, it will make them smoother, and less sparks. i would think that the rail would have something to do with it too

^ I know the rail he is talking about, and for a while everyone was throwing sparks when they hit it. It was a new rail and I think there were some burrs on it. It doesn't do it now, so I think you should be fine.
