does anyone think it would be possible to do a 90 degree turn on a rail? not like a smooth c rail but just straight 90 then straight again? cause there is this rail by my house and it goes down, 90 to the right, flat c to the left, down. the 90 is probably more like 110 or so, so it isnt perfectly 90. but do you think its even possible? cause it would be the coolest rail ever if it was.

You would have to go really slow when you made the transition, but i guess it would be 'possible'.

yeah just post a pic...cause i know the rails that arent curved like the "Y" rail at Sunday river is easy and you cant even tell if the kink is there

it would be possible but you wouldnt carry any speed youd only get the speed of your push off the first part of the rail

the rail would have to be long enough cuz the transition would take a while for people who havent tried it

if u slide the rail so that your noses are on the same side as the way it kinks to, and then do a 90 degree fronstide switchup on the kink it might make it so you don't have to hit the kink

i think that the laws of physics say if its acute it is impossible, unless its on a downslope

Fuck, just go try it, show every one it can be done. Unless its dry of course, you might want to wait till theres a bit of snow.

anybody think it would be possible to hit a rail thats like a f-d-f turned on its side? The kinks are pretty standard, nowhere near 90, more like 120.
