The guys i ski with give me shit all the time about how i "slide rails too fast". What are your opinions about how fast you should grease a rail. I mean obviously they're easier when you come boming in, but does it "lack steeze" if you do one too fast? This might seem like a stupid thread but it's been pissing me off.

Also, i normally slide rails with my left foot forward. This seems pretty natural for me, but i notice that most guys will go with the right foot facing foward. When i think of sliding rails i imagine running and jumping on a skateboard. When i rarely skate i skate "normal". But the kids i ski with, they will slide rails right foot forward, but they don't skate "goofy". Idk this is probably stupid too, but i'm bored tonight and thining about skiing.

^ dosent matter what foot you use, and for shorter rails i go slower but the longer they get the faster i like to do em

if it were easier it would be called snowboarding

i like the sticker that says " Ya mum rides a Snowboard"
 
slower rails are harder..thats why doing summer rails makes you better for winter

if the rail is long its not a big deal if you go fast. but if its like 10 feet i wouldnt be bombing the hill at it cause then its like tap im on, oh wait now im off.

going slower on a rail helps you work on your balance. just try going at a rail suuuuuper slowly

when i stared to learn rails i tried sliding left foot forward cause thats how i skate, longboard, wakeboard, etc. but then I tried sliding it right first and it was just way more comfortable. It was really weird to me too.

your father is a sick fuck for taking pictures of his daughter in a bikini and your grandma is a slut for being so close to breast like that. i bet shes thinking ' mmmm my granddaugther sure does have nice breasts, so firm and perky but too bad they dont beat mine cuz mine hang down to my knees and when im standing naked it looks like i have 2 sets of arms' - Lateralis
