Lipslides.

This year it seemed like every where you went there was urban style rail set ups. Who'd rather see an ollie on rather than lifting one foot before the other.
 
i think the creator of this thread has whack terminology..... but a good lip, with a little pop so you can spin on. but if it's a down rail, or something that starts off goin down, i like a slat, urban style manual ollie lip.
 
The guy doesn't have his terminology fucked up, he just needs to witness a good ollied non-step on lipslide.
 
so just making sure, lipslide, is bringing your tails over the rail first instead of your tips correct?
 
urban set ups are way better, you have to ollie. Skiers were bitching about ollie on take offs on our park rails. "what's with the snowboard style take offs" they would say. all i had to say to them was "learn to ollie" Lipslides are way sicker with urban setups too.
 
correct me if im wrong but this is the point of the thread. yea ollies look better,

the thing with "urban style" park rails is that the rails usually are only say a foot above the jump, making stepping on possible.

on real urban you actually have to pop,

even if you arent nollieing.
 
I love to see a good ollie/nollie, on to a rail. The best is when both skis pop at the same time. I think ollies/nollies and presses will be the hotness for next seasons jibbing.

-^non lipslide nollies are insane.
 
i like urban set ups but it gets annoying when all the jumps onto rails are like that. parks should mix it up to keep everone happy
 
i like the rails but they set em up for snowboarders, I dnt want a ride on rail but i dnt like verticaly jumping 2 ft. onto a rail either
 
straight take offs are hella gay shit, unless its like a super tall long flat rail with a fattty gap, otherwise sidetake offs are the dope shit cause you actually have to ollie to get on.
 
ummmm who cares, urbans are more tech, and normal rails you can do cooler tricks on, i dont really care either way.
 
Who ever said stepping into a lipside is lame, someone just said Travis Heed style step on lips. And same with Tony B. All I do is try and emulate those two when I ride.

I say keep doing the step into a lipslide way. I'll keep doing that if you keep doing that!
 
the whole point of the thread was to discuss whether or not stepping on is lame...I dont think it is, but i like to see the progression of ollies.

If YOU dont understand something, its not automatically whack. If you dont do lipslides or urban setup rails, you dont know what were discussing.
 
both are lame, you got to ski up and stop on the front of the rail and then swing your other ski on the rail.
 
stepping onto a lipslide would just look gay. also it seems a lot harder than just doing an ollie on, so lets just forget about the stepping on
