How to slide boxes with kinks?

[TaterTots]

I'm not sure if I searched correctly but I couldn't find anything about this. I can slide flat boxes easily but I seem to catch my edge everytime I try one with a kink. Any tips on how to make it all the way without catching my edges?

Wide stance is your friend

Don't do boxes on your feet slide them on your side.

Wrong quote, sorry. Should I tilt my skis at all? How fast should I hit it?

dont overthink it. just slide it like you would a flat box and when you get to the kink, just keep looking at the end of the rail and go over it

Depends on what your kink is. There's some weird ones out there that you have no chance in hell of getting all the way with.

flat down kinks are easy. You pretty much just shift your weight a little bit forward while sliding like you normally would. You can kind of practice this on a rainbow box if theres one in your park. The up and down of the rainbow sort of helps with transferring your weight.

down flat is a little bit harder in my opinion. You gotta shift your weight from slightly forward to back a bit. It's not that bad but the first few times I slipped out, caught my front edge and stuff. But once you get it, its pretty simple.

Having a low, wide stance will help if you get off balance a little bit. You'll get the feel for them tho and then it'll become natural.

Just disaster them and you won't have to deal with the kinks and you won't look like a pussy
