I was thinking about that 2. but I've been wondering. How does that help with rails?

it prevents you from catching an edge

spoon edges!!! it probably would help but then you sacrifice perfomance on snow.

if you ever read transworld you'll realize that 95% of snowboarders dull the edges on their rail boards...so its gotta be helpful.

It's also good because you are less apt to rip your edges out of your skis. Dull (rounded) edges = less catchiness + more consistent grinding + longer lasting edges (that won't cut butter, but they'll keep your skis together!)

BOIOIOIOIOIOING!!!

hey skifreeordie, just use a heavy-duty file on the edges under your bindings
