Noce/tail press on boxes question....

[lyndon]

i used the searchbar, so no flamming!!

okay, just a few days ago, i learned nosepresses and tailpresses on boxes. it only took me about the whole season to master them. now here is my question ..... is it easier to nosepress/tailpress on boxes with longer skis. i ride 145, and 158 (im 5 feet tall). with a longer ski, and more nose and tail, is it easier to do presses....

anyone help me out with this..?

 

[Billiards.]

Yeeah I am the same exact size and I can tail press with any skis. Im also pretty posotive shorter skis are easier. And right now tail presses are my favorite rail trick along with twosevs on.

 

[poncho]

god dammit you guys are small....

how old are you

 

[seemeski]

I was doing mad tail presses today! So much fun. I got in some shitty nose ones in too.

 

[Billiards.]

Hell yeah best tricks ever!!! I can almost completely sit down on my tail presses. I am sooo stoked! and s_k_i_e_r I just barely turned 14.

 

[FigmentFilmski]

i can tailpress anright but nosepresses are way asier

 

[seemeski]

^I found nose presses harder.

 

[poncho]

holy shit. im 14 and im 5'6 and ride 168's.

 

[Billiards.]

Well your kool arent you. Naw just kidding. but I juuust turned 14. But oh well when skiing nothing matters.

 

[FUUUCK]

i can kinda nose press some boxes

 

[Edward.]

nose presses are easier for me but still kind of hard, i cant do tailpresses

 

[poncho]

haha yea i know..but yea your right

 

[Ryno]

Not really answering your question, but Nosepresses are way easier then tailpresses

 

[Billiards.]

thats crazy i feel the exact opposite, tail presses came completely natural for me. I can make it seem like I am sitting on a chair tail pressing and nose pressing I can only get somewhat of a press.

 

[seemeski]

same. I think I just don't want to fall on my face. I'm working on it though.

 

[Billiards.]

yeah its wierd for me, I can push forward and sit down and the press is on.

 

[PhaedeD]

nose/tail pressing is funnn. haha its not really that hard to learn eather. you just gotta trust that your skis will hold you and your face wont meet the box. but i found it easier and more steeeezier haha with my big skis.

[Billiards.]

theres a little tail press, wierd angle so you cant really see it but i was sitting!! haha

 

[poncho]

you dont ski with poles?

 

[Billiards.]

sometimes I dont, especially on that box.

 

[poncho]

hmmmmm.....

 

[Billiards.]

why hmmmmm.....??? I ski mainly with them but itss sooooo fun with out.

 

[poncho]

meh, personal preference i guess. i can not stand people that ski without poles personally. i think it looks absolutely retarded. but that is just my personal preference.

 

[Billiards.]

well then your entitled to it but its the future, mayyybe haha, and its really fun. Also why nott??? and the like nonpolist.

 

[albatross.]

pop out (aka nollie out of nosepresses and ollie out of tailpresses) . it looks dopeee

 

[poncho]

agreed....

only when you ski with poles tho!

 

[Good_Deed]

longer better

 

[STAUSS]

270 on switch up switch up switch up switch up pretzel 450 out

 

[lyndon]

no one answered my question.....

 

[=nick=]

yes someone did answer ur question

 

[Aseets]

Same, I can tail a lot of things but I can't nosepress anything

 

[180FSscratch]

nose presses are a lot easier for me, you get to spot the rail at all times. i hate the feeling of leaning back on tail presses, i feel like im just gonna kick off it

 

[HAM*]

ya thats what i was thinking

 

[chapz]

same here, never really tried to do them, i will next time though

 

[PhaedeD]

exactly what this guy said except more like switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up switch up

 

[90ski0er]

longer = better and it looks coolier too because more ski is off of the rail

 

[[~_~]]

you guys ARE small! Im 5' 7 and I ride 180s. whats with the short skis??

 

[lineskier106]

yea im 5'5 and i have 166 so wassup

 

[[~_~]]

my snowblades are 166.

 

[awsomecoolguy]

i always catch my dam edge when i do nose presses

 

[japie99]

Hmm I'll give it a try. I guess long skis are harder to do, coz u have to press harder. But with short skis u can have to less contact with the grind/box. So I say u just need a medium ski haha

 

[lyndon]

my skis are like 2 cm taller than me
