Kink Rails?

[urbanjib]

how to do them?

widen your stance, bend your knees to prepare for the kink and learn how to do street style setups first.

absorb that kink

do i lean my front foot back, like so its parallel with the flat?

I rollerblade, and i can do handrails like this, but with skis its diff.

 

[cow.]

get as low as humanly possible. dont bend over, but get low. bend your knees, like. make sure you go super straight on to the rail/box cuz youll fall off early if you dont...

you need to be a little more aggressive on a kink rail than a regular rail. you want to push out at the first kink and pull in at the second one (talking of down-flat-down). the longer the flat the harder the push ,the smaller the flat the smaller the push. make sure to be on top of the rail and your skis 90 degrees whit the rail, or else you will get rejected at the first kink.

ok thanks i think i understand

when you say push, do you mean, like push down or wat?

ya kinda. if your on a dfd, at the first kink, going from down to flat, be able to absorb your knees going up, so be able to let your knees come up. then from the flat to the down, your want to kind of push your legs down, so that your not clearing the last down part. if that makes sense

 

[Alex_G]

try looking at the end of the flat if you are sliding a dfd

Im not sure is this is right

but I always wanna be perpindicular to the rail so when I'm on a down rail I lean forward to stay perpendicular

 

[f.ray]

assuming you already know that...
