[leone]

do you mean skiing switch then popping on to a rail?

look over whichever shoulder in the direction you will be spinning. it sounds like you are very uncomfortable skiing switch in general so i would recommend just practicing skiing switch around the mountain before you go into a rail switch

yeah, learn to ski fakie first.

if you have that down just go right at it and commit, it will probly take a couple tries to perfect

I LOVE SKIING BACKWARDS

Don't forget to almost fall over as you ski away...

I reckon learing switch ones off a kicker helps before you try onto a rail. They feel really cool too.

don't stress about lining up perfectly straight to the rail. just try it a bunch and find out what way is most comfortable for you. I come into the rail swich with it lined up with my leading foot, as opposed to directly behind me.

its easy if they are center mounted skis

 

[guillermolongjon2]

yea look over the shoulder your gonna be spinning onto it with...and it def seems to help if your skis are center mounted for me at least

learn how to ski switch good first

 

[Billiards.]

once you learn how youll love it just look over you shoulder and pop on not spinning to much its fun

 

[hiphopopotamus]

try on a small rail in the kiddy park and start to pop on when you first see the raill imbetween your skis and complete that then move on

 

[twintipteles]
