RAIL TIPS

[GURT]

does any one have tips for doing rails

 

[eLevate]

commit. thats why you fall, is because you dont. think of it as jumping on s skateboard, keep your weight forward, and balanced , and hit ti straight on. make sure you turn the 90 degrees. honestly its 90% committing. try some boxes first, theyre easier, but different.

 

[BLKOUT]

U WILL FALL if you've never slid a rail so be prepared.

Otherwise, lots of practice, confidence, and persistance.

start out on tiny boxes and move up as U get more confident.

 

[ineedarealname]

boxes suck,they always get sticky and are usually ride on

 

[Elife]

boxes are dirty sluts, they always stick like punk bitches. i boycott all forms of sliding things because of this

 

[BillyGoteMan]

spread u feet wide, and commit dont like just focus on sliding one ski and let the other fall off

 

[skiskiboy]

Just commit, stay forward looking at the end of the rail. Dont worry about catching your front edge on the rail unless your edges arent de-tuned. You just need to go for it man.

pretend ur running and jumping onto a skateboard

 

[watchmefall15]

dont lean back or u will eat shiat

 

[stylishskier]

I find if the box is constructed correctly that it is wayyyy faster than most rails as metal on plexi/a little metal is faster than metal on metal

thats all it is. is in your head saying im going to clean you like mr.clean on a counter top.

he is right. My side is still messed from my first attempt at nailing a rail.

best advice is definitly, commit, wider stance (not too wide), overcompisate the forwardness, AND START SMALL THEN PROGRESS!!

hahaha well said

 

[LeBlanc]

Thats not very encouraging

 

[sherLocke]

it's true. i've never seen anybody clean a rail thier first time ever doing rails, you always fall. but if you dont fall then you aren't skiing now are you?

 

[LDuggan420]

o dont think about it turn 90 shoulders and head facing the end of the rail and put the pressure over your front foot and youll be good

 

[Benhamine]

OK for you Garret i would grow a pair of balls and actually try something.

LOve

[skiermw]

wieght centered maybe a little forward and legs a bit apart and commit

basically just do it

 

[skiierman]

Go for the 50-50... Much easier and it looks sick.

 

[C-Burg]

most of the rails that look good to learn on are ride on though

 

[GURT]

COMMIT OR EAT SHIT

 

[617jibber]

^yup

 

[Benhamine]

Ding Ding^

It is completely true that if you don't commit you will fall. Look all the way to the end of the rail and keep your knees bent and arms down to stay balanced. Speed is your friend.

You got that right...Expect to fall. It really doesnt hurt that bad. SO dont be a tool! Just go for it and eventually you will get the feel for it. Patience young grasshopper!

 

[wang_bong]

last year i did like 4 rails and sucked ass at them. this year after reading to COMMIT, i hit a 6" wide flat down box, first rail of the season, and stomped it. you just need to say to yourself "im gonna stomp this shit and its gonna work" if you think you're gonna pussy out, then you probably will.

 

[M+M]

approach the rail with it right between your legs with the legs shoulder with appart, turn 90 degrees on the rail, commit to it, thats key

 

[ArMaDa_Ski_]

never go at shit half assed eather be confident that you will grease it and if you fall get up and do it again untill you get the whole thing.
