I've been doing med to large jumps in the park lately but when it comes to railing, im shocking.

I'm trying to practice on boxes but I find that I'm jumping on straight, then having trouble turning my ski's 45 degrees! I'm pretty stiff in my upper body though but was hoping to get some advice on how to rail effectively!

There's your problem. Don't jump on straight then turn. Turn 30-40ish in air then slide the rest of it out on the box

maybe try a small carve up to the rail and then pop, it'll be easier to get your skis to 90 that way. Also wide low stance. Also it is not called railing.

When i'm railing a rend to spin before i have started the railing process. If you spin before youre on the rail, railing it will be way easier.

As soon as I saw the word "railing" and a pink name I knew this thread was going places.
