When i go to rail slide i have my right food leading on the rail, and when i watch videos people do it with both feet leading, like sometimes right sometimes left, can you all do this and am i just like disabled or do they just practice a hella lot more then me?

 
nah that dosent mean u suck

just get down sliding one way and then if you want to get better and more technical then try learning the other way, unnatural
 
sliding unnatural is not that hard. i thought it would be impossible just start on boxed and you will get used to it.
 
alright phew, i thought i was like the only one out there ha, i just need to practice i guess cuz when i 270 on i land unnatural and always eat shit, cuz i cant slide unnatural lol
 
if you look at videos, then try to copy what they are doing, and put it into your lipslide.

Also...remember, practice can make perfect.
 
thanks guys :D got some stuff to work on this weekend if i dont decide to just sit at Us Open and get free shirts
 
Ok reasons of why i may not ride this wekend

1. Strattons parks not too great, ive been working on my 5's and thej umps are only liek 10ft because the big park got plowed for the big air Us Open. So i cant really practice my spins way i want too.

2. US Open this weekend, last year i got a garbage bag full of sticker, sold for 55$, 25 shirts, 5 pairs of gloves , and one pair of goggles , so ima b trying to get some stuff this year..

thats about all my reasons lol
 
just practice. the way i learned was to go switch onto the rail but spin natural and i would land left foot forward
 
how i actualy learned to slide unnatural was hoping up onto the ledges that bad grooming jobs make at the side or runs and just worked on sliding with my unnatural foot foreward. It worked for me but eveyone has there own way but keep it up bro
 
first time i slid a rail unnatural was when i learned 270s lol, but just do a few unnatural 180s first and then take it to a rail
 
definately just practice practice practice. i was workin on slidin rails unnatural just today, and i'm slowly gettin less sketchy...
 
a lot of pros dont even hit rails unaturally unless theyre spinning on.

you just have to get comfortable on rails, start switching up and eventually man up and try unnaty.
 
practice on fat boxes to start.

but yes after while it becomes natrual both ways. like right now for me, i will slide what ever way i feel like. usually depends on if you are doing switch ups, or pretzels.

so if i wanna do a pretzle 270 out, i will hop on left foot first.

but i i wanna do some back side switch ups, i will go on right foot forward.

it mainly depends on what way you like to spin.
 
build a rail you can use this summer even if it is just a step on it will still get you spending more time concentrating on getting to the end and your balance
