Last year I was just getting into freestyle and I only had one pair of skis. That was my Atomic 9:16s. I didnt want to mess the edges up on rails so I pretty much stayed off them. This year I have 1080s and some racing skis and I want to know the trick with grinding. Do you just jump on and keep the forward edges up slightly off the rail so you dont catch an edge?

 
you can do that, but if you d-tune them they wont get caught up in the imperfections in the rail.

SKIING IS LIFE...the rest is just details.

go off jump and make sure you are turing the 90 in the air not on the jmup. Have your legs sholder with apart and allway keep your eyes on the end of the rail. Speed is also your freind faster you go shorter time on rail and less chance to fall off, when you get better go slower.

the true trick to grinding is going to an ice areana today and stealing all their snow, then setting up urban rails all day today because thats the only snow around, so im off to do that now

 
there were just two threads like this with a ton of good tips in em, scroll down a little and cheack em out.

 
Don't drop your shoulder when you spin, you have to make sure both feet land on the rail evenly. I dropped my shoulder when I first learned and would always land off balace and fall onto my side.

yeah, don't concentrate on spinning onto the rail or you'll keep spinning when you hit the rail. just turn both of your feet

I agree. Dont spin. Just turn you feet 90 degrees and keep looking straight ahead, looking for the end of the rail.

BUT BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CATCH YOUR SKI UNDER THE RAIL!

keep your weight centered and knees bent

turn 90 and try to land as smooth as u can then just keep ur knees bent and look at the end of the rail, ull have it for sure

 
listen if you really want to suck a rail you'll do it like me and ask people for 5 dollars before you do it that way you can look at it as a double positive the 5 bucks and a HUGE load in the mouth

Here, I'll say it again for the second thread on the subject...

Take a skateboard and put it 10ft in front of you...now run up to it and jump on it...have you ever skim boarded at the beach before? same feeling...keep your weight forward and looking at the end of the rail...
