Help with rails

[RussellK141]

so i just started rails this year, and i sorta need help. i can slide for a little ways, but then i just come off. what can i do to help balance/slide further?

thanks

just concentrate on the end of the rail

go faster maybe

place a skateboard in front of you and run at it as fast as you can and jump on it and skate away on it

with out skis of course

Look at the end of the rail.

i picked it up pretty quickly. ride on rails u will be able to get within a couple of trys. but like everyone says focus at the end of the rail and commit. then work on ur style once uv progressed

look at the end of the rail that is key

 

[logange]

thats the best way, concentrate on the very end of the rail, and keep ur balance.

dont try to do it without edges...not very smart...such thing as too little resistance....jump onto rails confident thinking quazimoto stance...then you will master the rails

for sure and try more speed if your coming off early..after practicing its wicked easy

relax and look at the end of the rail

go fast and turn completely sideways so you commited at 90degrees

 

[ZavierV]

get more speed and hop 90 degrees and keep going ready for the 270 off the end

COMMIT!

^agreed

 

[DrewR.]

thats probably the problem and just practice on small rails

buy some xxl oakley and head towards the rail as fast as you can and keep your arms gorilla and then just pop off to the side and do a 180

yeah this is a great way to learn how to do rails. often, beginners tend to not have enough balance/weight forward, and end up falling on their ass as the skis just ends up getting ahead of your body. to follow the movement you gotta place your weight more forward.

PRACTICE and looking at the end of the rail helps too
