How do u do ''scissors'' on a rail?

[MarkP596]

i mostly go down the rail left foot first. any tips would be bangin

 

[DGski]

just tilt your left ski back

i had a problem with scissoring before but i just took a bit of pressure off my front foot to get comfortable with it.

 

[Asterisk]

what helped me with scissoring was learning switchups. I couldnt scissor before I could switchup, but once I could do switchups then for some reason scissoring came naturally for me and I could feel it better

 

[bananas]

if its what i think you mean, spread your feat, horozontaly and verticaly. dont be ashamed to stand on a rail in your local park just to get the feel.

You need to scissor to switchup, unless you're doing a really fast backside one. It's a cause, not an effect.

 

[bdarb207]

urban style rails helped me with this because you kind of catch the rail when you get on.

 

[Asterisk]

That's the thing though. I couldnt scissor, but then I started doing some front swaps and while learning that, the scissoring came naturally. I don't know.. Maybe it's just me

Think of 'digging' your front foot's heel into the rail.

 

[Emma_Watson]

And then your ski's should look like a scissor.

profit.

dig your heel in, eventually, you'll do it naturally.

 

[*TURBONERD*]

There's just about no way that you could stop your motion like that on a rail without gripping it, which would require scissoring, except absurd levels of abdominal strength.

 

[Asterisk]

I agree. But I meant that I couldnt, but switchups forced me to. If that makes sense

 

[*TURBONERD*]

No, I think I understand now. I guess the same process happened for me scissoring unnatty.

 

[dom_daq]

Yeah same. The first time I pretzeled was the first time I did a fs switch up.

 

[MarkP596]
