Hands down the best edge tuning video. If you say the file takes a lot of edge material, then why you didn't only use the diamond stones during this entire process but included the second cut file following 100 grit stone? Any reason??
I'd love to see a video on wax selection, both for racers and freestyle/big mountain. Also, how often to wax. For big mountain, I'm always debating whether it's better to use universal wax in most cases, or if it's junk and I should always use temp specific.
Been doing this for a decade - If you can keep a little shop set up, there’s no harm in waxing before each trip. Wax is so cheap I always prefer riding on a fresh base. You’ll see your board/skis get white towards the edges and it’ll start to feel dry. I’ve gotten 7 days in powder pretty easily but on groomers/ice usually 2-3 days. If you need P-Tex you’ll need to wax over it regardless. Universal is fine for most cases, but if it’ll be super hot/cold I’ll mix in some of the appropriate temp. As long as the wax is smooth and even you’ll be fine.
Thanks for this video. I wasn't really sure how to use the single-setting edge guides. Realized I did it entirely wrong. Went over my edges again with the diamond stone using your method and wow, what a difference. My edges were so rough from doing it wrong, but working them again properly smoothed everything out. Thanks for the help!!
