How to do kink rails

[Snazzy]

every time i do a kink rail i ride it out on my ass. Where do you put your weight on your skis and how do your not slide out?? How do you stay on them? I can do every rail except them and it is killing me.

You get on the rail and then slide the whole thing

comit to staying forward and trust that u wont catch an edge. being in a forward athletic stance, along with anticipating the kink, will help u stay balanced and in control riding away.

Just remember, always look at the end of the rail.

This old Chinese adage has been proven universally valid time and time again

There is no real "secret" to it... Like when i pop onto a double kink rail I am not thinking "oh I am on the down part now I gotta shift my weight here for the kink". Just keep sliding rails and it will become natural eventually. The only thing I do is use my knees to help absorb the kink, that's all. So if you want to think of anything just think about absorbing the down to flat kink with your knees as your knees are shock observer. If you keep your eyes ahead of you on the rail your body will naturally adjust your weight distribution to keep you locked, don't think about that part.

This ! I've been tying an urban rail so many times and when I started to look at the end I got it !

make sure to look at the end of the rail. thats how i learned flat rails.

But really i always though you had to lean with but really you dont. just stay balanced and you should be fine
