Wall Rides

[BvK]

Never done one before, but my resort has one on top of a quarter pipe... So I was wondering if you guys had any tips on hown not to bust my ass on a wall ride, (some guy said they were scary as shit, but he busted his face on the landing so thats why i ask)?

When you go up, just remember not to try to have a lot of forward shin pressure, just go up like you would for a halfpipe. Get decent speed and just tap the top and come back down switch at first, and then once you get used to it, you can start really messing around on it.

wall rides are alot easier then boosting out of a quarter pipe thats for sure

as for tips start by going only 2 feet up the wall and gradually go higher till u hit the top

 

[skiminnesota]

yep.... slowly progress up the "wall"

they are tons of fun once you get used to them.

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

yeah don't go hella fast but you probably won't on your first tries as the dude ^^^ said slowly progress up the wall

 

[Alex_thedroog]

just slowly go up. the first time I hit our quarter pipe wallride thing this year I flew over it. but it wasn't that bad.

 

[timmi]

just start by going up and coming down switch. then start progressing on it

I go to pns... that wall ride looks so scarryyyy, i only saw like 2 people do it...

 

[ThaLetterM.]

always go faster than you think you need to. unless youre mach 5'ing it, youire not gonna go over

 

[BvK]

Okay i shall try it tomorrow

 

[skiEER]

^ While blindfolded, so all you focus on is the transition.

 

[Anti-Hero]

stay off your edges while your on it.

 

[ButteredToast.]

You're going to want to go as fast as you possibly can and lean back like a mutha

 

[Daver_BC]

all i can say is...

make gravity your bitch.

 

[miroz]

stay balanced. one time I tried one and i leaned too far forward so I lost one ski on the uphill sid of it, and my other ski and I flew over the top. That wasn't fun

 

[jason...]

well my local hill just got one so ile tell you how it is once the big park is done

 

[R.Fahey]

The only thing you need to know is keep your bases flat. If you come in on edge you'll slip out. Go straight at it bases flat, feet shoulder width apart and send it.

it's all about feel in terms of the speed you need to get to the top of the wallride and not go over or come short (I flew over the top of the wallride yesterday, yay for learning the hard way). come into the wallride with legs shoulder width apart, centered athletic stance, don't lean too far forwards or else you will face slide or ass slide the wall. when going up the wall, no matter what do not lean to far forwards even though you feel instinct to, when you get to the top stall the ledge and give a little pop and drop back switch, when you drop back switch don't look over your shoulder. Going down keep your skis shoulder width apart and your centered athletic stance. Progress your way to 1s at the top and shit.

 

[Pippin]

exactly, nicely stated

 

[Scharff]

the tranny for the one are wanting to hit right now really sucks and we are trying to get it fixed cuz when you come down switch you tails just dig in its kinda lame

 

[willmiller]

Then why post?

 

[CKpolicy]

look at the date.

 

[jamodeo]

work up to the top and make sure you are 100% confident that you can do it and youl be fine

 

[debrickshaw]

why did you bump this thread with a post like that?
