Don't sharpen your edges on park skis. Or if you do, don't do it underfoot. Sharp edges will catch on softer metal rails, or plastic boxes, which isn't fun.

Hey parlor, hows it going man? Haven't posted for a long time, still come in and have a nose around occasionally!
Sorry to hijack the thread Whitey. Welcome to Snowheads.
Building on the previous post - with park skis, generally they're going to get pretty beaten up anyways, so not worth servicing them too frequently, or getting too precious about the odd scratch in the bases. Once you start hitting bigger kickers, it is however worth giving them the odd lick of wax, esp if you're riding later in the afternoon, or late season, as coming off the lip of a big kicker and realising you don't have enough speed is one of the less pleasurable sensations in park skiing.

"magseven"yeah ur right mate i have noticed that they grip after a half a season or so's hard skiing but to be honest iv just never got around to waxing them because its happens so slowly it takes time for me to notice the wax has faded and like you said they get a good bashing anyway so im not too precious with them but ill do it evrey now and then since it sucks when you case it.
cheers for the help people
