Down-flat-down?

[4ss4ssin]

every time i slide i down-flat-down i kicks me off after the first kink. i kinda got it down towards the end of the day, but not really..

any pointers?

 

[TheProfitSkier]

when i do them i just think of it as a flat rail

 

[Subjekt]

expect the kinks, absorb any transition, keep it smooth.

 

[*rkp*]

and focus on the end of the rail

with d-f-d you really have to absorb the kink. Bend your knees a lot when you hit the flat. Try to thing like you are stepping on eggs when you reach the flat

Along with absorbing the kink when you get on to the rail just go completely parellel with it ollie and turn your skis. My old problem with falling of early was that I went on with an angle.

go slower

as with any rail, pretend the rail is a living baby, so be as gentle with it as possible. except when pressing, then you wanna make that baby cry.

ive never heard the eggs idea before

^ he knows his shit. he schooled my ass on the mt snow dfd

i agree, approach it with a little less speed, and pretend its a flat rail, so stay forward, you are much more likely to get bucked back and hip check, then you are to catch your front edge

I want to do a flat down next week. I am trying to get ready for my Utah trip.
