the mountain i usually go to just got a 60 ft shotgun, about 3 feet high and i was wondering if anyone had any tips for sliding it, I can slide their 20 footer no problem but what do you do with those really long ones?

 
look at then end...i was trying to slide a 50 footer at my 'mountain' and i couldnt get it until i started looking directly at the end..then poof! i never used to look at the end before that.

very true worx for me 2 spotting the end and it gives perfect balance to come off

also worx when i skate boardslid a 15 foot straight rail thought i would spot the end instead of looking down worked out sweet

all the above tips help. one thing to keep in mind, on a single barrel rail, i think balance comes more into play. On a long flat bar or double barrel, I think it's less balance, and more how you get onto the rail. You'll feel it the second you hop in if you're locked on right, and have a shot at making it to the end. Just keep trying.
