Trouble with rails

[SamLegierski]

This past weekend i went out skiing with my buddies, i was focusing on hitting rails because there arguably my weakest park feature that i hit. I really dont know what my problem is, i go down, speed check, jump up and turn sideways, then when i land i land on my inside hip. I did this about 8-9 times and then we had to leave, by the end of the day though i could slide a rail all the way but at the end of it i would still fall and slip out. How do i prevent this? any tips at all would be great thanks

K+ for serious answers

just keep trying them, you'll eventually get it! Work on your balance when your off skis and that'll help.

Lean a bit further forward. It's simple advice, you just most likely have to focus a bit more on it. Keep your shoulders square with the rail and make sure you balance is even, I like to put my center of balance right in front of my trailing boot, essentially between your legs. Eventually you will get it, and sliding rails will become second-nature.

When i first learned I almost over exaggerated putting weight on my front foot. You are slipping out because your skis arent flat and they have to be. Try to keep a wide flat stance when you grind your next rail and you should be fine.

try to keep weight on your front foot and keep your feet a little apart

Try looking at the end of the rail, it feels wierd cuz you can't see whats below you but it helps alot

practice more on evening your weight sliding boxes, then after you get comfortable on boxes. Do lip slides on boxes
