So i've had my summer setup 2 weeks....

[BkCountrySkrMO2]

i've gotten through the "in awe" stag of summer setups when you just love the idea your skiing in may, now i need to get down to the business of actually getting better, right now i can slide my rails and come out switch, so i'm not that good, whats the next step i should take and practice on my setup (flat rails, flat boxs, down/up box)

 

[CBROOKS]

switch on and 270 out, once you have switch on, switch 270 comes like nothing.

 

[BkCountrySkrMO2]

i don't know if i can go down carpet switch, but i'll try (i already have rug burns on my ass)

 

[Jwenz]

yeah def go for the 270 outs and like sw ups...and with the boxes you could practice skiing unnaty on the box like if you do right foot foward go left and such

 

[Dkrew13]

haha, no bueno on the rug burns!!! its better if you can get thin sheets of plastic instead of carpet, that way you not going from stick to slick when you hit the rails

 

[BkCountrySkrMO2]

how do you 270 out? if i have right ft. forward, then i spin right and land switch?

 

[BkCountrySkrMO2]

the rails are actually almost too slippery, probably cause i used soap on the carpet

hitting summer rails switch is really intimidating, but it is really pretty easy. this is a video of me from last summer, and i really wasnt that good at all, this is the 3rd time trying switch on

learn 270's of all 4 ways then learn at least 2 dif switch ups then take 270 it's all alot easier than u think then do 270 to swithc up then just learn pretzels adn u'll be the best rail rider on he hill next year

 

[4frntSkier]

all 2s on and out both switch ups

then combine all those

 

[BFINO13]

work on switch ups then 270s out after u get the hang of it then 270 on

 

[Jake...]

3 sw up would be sick. try pretzels

 

[STACKS]

switch on and 2 7 out

 

[S2daJ]

try un natty slides for sure, get equally good either way.

 

[futurespin]

switch 5050

 

[Skwirl]

definately

 

[JibEarth]

first learn to spin off both ways then learn sw in then un-natural slide then spinning in.

 

[prosnurfer]

learn nose persses and tail and shit.. all spins and swichups.. or make some sick rails

 

[BusyJohnSohn]

just do spins on the boxers and hop around on the rail

 

[tjski]

ya that way your momentum keeps going

 

[fouldsys]

ive had switch on for like a year but i cant switch 270 on for my life

 

[Hotdawgg-Skier4]

right foot forwarder! try to spin out left. that is if you spin to the left. my friend just leant how to do them and she found that spinig back ways was alot easier. jep!

 

[bpalmer]

Wierd cause I can switch 270 super easy but I can't switch on. I also can't 450 out but I can 450 on.

 

[ATLskier]

Is there anyway to switch your down/up box to an up down box, it will make it easier to try switch ups, and other stuff.

Buf, def try all 270 offs and all 4 switch ups. Unnatty slides are pretty easy, and I think it is encredibly important to slide both ways. Tail presses and nose presses are very important too.

 

[Holte]

it took me at least a year to get regular 270s on after i learned to sw 270 on. i just found sw 270s it a lot easier because you're never blind.

 

[kbrando]

learn to slide both directions so it will be easier to learn 270 and switch up so you can be comfortable going either way

 

[404404]

try 270s on.

 

[winterkid33]

way to go guys! he asked for what to do next and weve effectively named almost every trick on a rail without spinning 450s or more
