Help with tube rails

Just send it. Look at the end of the rail. Go as fast as you’re comfortable with. Keep practicing and you’ll get it no worries
 
Find one you like and hike it a bunch until you can do a few different tricks consistently on it. They'll be easier and way more fun afterwards
 
You will need determination. You will need perseverance. You will need dedication. You will need regiment. You will shed blood, sweat, and tears.This is a tube rail we are talking about; it is not for the faint of heart.
 
if the park isnt busy, find a low one and just go stand on it. find your balance on it with out the risk of sliding out.

hit it slow, who cares if you straddle.

then build up the speed.

tubes can change from day to day. one day theyll slide nice, the next it can feel sticky. keep that in mind

Gonna second the homie erik, do you have to scissor while on the tube in order to stay on?

I’m not sure I’ve never hit a tube before. I can hit flat bars pretty consistent but I’ve tried just jumping over the side of the tube and it just feels weird the way it slides. Also the only tube there right now is a small tube that drops down to another tube which is scary to me. Also I’m scared since every time I fail a rail I bail and always end up with the rail in between my legs.

thats straddling. just go slow, keep the risk low. finding the right feature to learn on is half the battle. i recomend start learning by taking off with the rail inbetween your feet, you need to do less foot work that way.

Sorry I should've clarified, I was expanding upon your question by asking another one, I need some help with tube rails too.

no, you don't. and you don't really have to think about scissoring when you start to do spins off it'll just happen naturally.

but no, scissoring is not something you need to think about. just focus on the end of the rail and keeping your skis flat on it just like a flat bar. there's really no difference in approach; so if you have flat bars down, just look at a tube the same way. Im not exactly sure, but I don't think tubes are any more difficult than flat bars, and they make doing swaps (esp surface swaps) easier imo

I ended up doing it, you do not have to scissor to stay on, it feels like a normal flag rail
 
Not really, no. They really don’t slide much different than a regular rail when talking just a natty slide.

If you slide rails and boxes comfortably, just send it, don’t overthink it.

Tubes are so fun imo.
