i may not DW, but i know a few things. Rounded is the way to go. otherwise, they get sharp edges that catch on your socks.

Rounded is better so that when you stub your toe it won't rip off as easily. And it looks significantly more streamlined.

Rounded for freeriders, straight across for racers.
You've got that backwards. Straight across is the podiatrical equivalent of the 3.0 gazzilodi.

Jesus... this reminds me of the SAT:

A toenail clipped straight is to a toenail clipped roundly as:

A. Freeriding is to Racing
B. Rootbeer is to Scuba Yellow
C. Rabie is to Orven
D. Chico is to the Montashu

Straight across supposedly prevents hangnails. But I hate having the little corners hanging out. They're hazardous to others and the toe itself.

I don't know...I just bite mine nice and short.

only straight across if they are painted rootbeer. otherwise they will be too flexy.

Id say get your bike up to about 40 on a good hill and just scrape them against the pavement to shorten them up. Whatever cool psychadelic shapes the scraping process makes you can bug out to later on, and they might be handy with picking up the ladies too.

good luck, take some pictures for us.

You should sit high atop a mountain in the Himalayas with your legs folded indian style and make people climb to ask you stuff.
