Well some say soaps, some say inline skates, some say metal plates on shoes, and some say wood on shoes. So really, which one is the best? I'm leaning toward the soaps so I can wear them everywhere. I didn't do rails this year and I wanna prepare for next season. I am also very bored and wanna do something ski related. Explain how you made your 'Grinding Shoes' and what to grind on. I've got a tramp and all I need now is stuff to jib with.

soaps and a pvc pipe helped alot for figuring out balance and stance and stuff, and then hitting the same rail with snow and skis, and then metal, it toook me a long time to have confidence and be able to do them pretty well

soaps are just hella fun. nothn to it. bored in the mall and wanna get kicked out? go soaping. they are tough to find now. they wont sell them in most malls now

 
SUMMER JIB TRAINING. its like the third or second one on the main page, hope it helps.

*steeze with eeze*
 
It doesn't help at all, soaps are nothing like skis. Just balls up and do it next year, 'training' isn't going to do jack shit, just like spinning off the ground doesn't help you do 1080's.

We have an old saying down on the bayou....Blehhhhh!!!
 
yea, its not gonna help u, having the balls to slide a rail in a pair of fruit boots and sliding rails on skis is alot different, like the other guy said, next year just dont be a puss and do it

set up a summer rail with snow from an arena or if none is available indoor-outdoor carpet.

I learned rails at he beginning of this past season. we built a 9 footer from PVC and just tried it. Youll fall the first couple times but its easy once you get the hang of it

 
I'm not a big fan of soaps at all. It just looks goofy when you see someone sliding a rail with their shoes. Do they even seel soaps anymore?

 
i'm not sure.

ive never tried soaps but when we had some freezing rain awhile back me and my friends were sliding shit just with our shoes cuz it was all covered in ice. it was very easy, a little bit like skiing but the best is probably to just find a small rail at your hill and try it

my friend is sponsered by soaps so he gave me a free pair, he can do this 80 foot quad kink to front flip out

its not the same no matter how you do it with shoes, because you can move your ankles around, as opposed to ski boots where they are in place, so i suggest learning them on roller blades

this is what i did and it helped me, u need old shoes and skis and pvc rail- cut the skis in to little skis the size of your shoes- screw them into your shoes. then grind

soaps are so easy because you basically cant slide off the rail unless your trying. The way the plate is it like locks on to the rail and keeps you on it.

 
you can get fucked up in soaps b/c if you dont get on the rail good you hit the rubber part of your shoe and you eat shit

yes that has happpened to me and it isnt fun

'isnt it hard to ski backwards? dont you hit stuff?'
