ask a shop for a 2 degree Square edge bevel. That will ensure that they dont just bevel the bottom, but also the side.

2 degrees will do you fine for general park and freeriding.

Course the best answer would be to get magne, you can round that sh!t off and still shred ice...but thats like $450 verses like $16 for and edge job

And the ghetto answer is to take a file to the middle 5-6 inches of your board and dull it up. Not great if you dont mean it to be a rail board, but board slides is really the trick you worry about hurting yourself on if you catch edge on a rail, tail or noselide will just make you spin off the rail. And since you'll be leaving the area under and around your bindings, primary source of control, sharp, you can still turn pretty good. Thats actually what I do to my park boards, since most pressure is under your bindings, I keep all under and about 2 inches outside my bindings at 0*/0* so I can still turn on sh!tty park snow but don't worry about really catching edges. Only take a grinder to a deck that you use exclusively for urban jibbing. Course I also do the standard tip tail detune.
