yeah but wait until you try S-rails. They're harder, but waaay smoother.

Lately I have had a huge reatardation spell on rails. I havent gotten to the end of a rail in a couple weeks. I have no idea why either. Havent changed anything in what I'm doing. Always get 3/4 of the rail and I'm out. Pretty pathetic really.

Yeah just wait until s-rails buddy. They're incredibly smooth because you have to be to clean one. Took me over 25 tries and one and a half hours of hiking to slide my first one.

yeah^. what do you mean by an ally-oop 270? that makes no sense to me. you could say backside or frontside, and in that case i think backside 270s are harder

i found rails really scary the first few times i tried them so i didn't even bother till today. But today something clicked and now i can do doube kinks. For all you that suck at rails, just try them and commit and theyre easy. Most importantly look at the end of the rail.

im not even good enough onboxes yet...i just started...but when you guys are on a rail do you try to keep the bottom of your skis straight or do you sorta lean uphill not to get your edge in there??

im usually alright on em, but i hate em when u have to go uplike 6inches to get on and the lip of the ramp is only like 2 inches away. It just makes it kinda crammed and i dont like it. The only problem i sometimes have is i dont get centered and end up doing like a nosepress or something.

Bah I just sessioned a huge wooden rail today. I got 7 or so hits in before the cop came. Didn't even slide half of it, I was pissed.

dont worry about how your steeze looks, clean the rail first, then worry about getting your style down. what i do to get my style working is try to do a lil boot grab when im skiing, which, in turn gets you gorilla steeze, which im not the biggest fan of, but you can make it look better. keeping your poles perpendicular with the rail, and centering the rail always helps. if you are having trouble getting the whole rail, hold out your hands while on the rail, and center the very very end of the rail between your fists. i can almost guarantee that you will not fall off, unless you are really tall.........like me.

you are supposed to slide the rail with your bases completley flat or you die... it isnt like sliding on snow its more like sliding on a big piece of steel.

for anyone that can't slide the whole rail,you have to keep your eyes on the end of the rail. the reason you fall off at 3/4 of the way is because you are only looking 3/4 of the way. And if that doesn't work, then land on the rail a little more towards your toes.

yeah the S-rail at my resort though sucks. the first curve is real curvy, but the second curve barley curves at all. So when you come the bend, you fall off. But I hear curvier ones are easier though. It took me like 25 tries to stick it.

^ Yeah my first time took over that too. It was a wicked nice one at Sunday River. Finally slid the whole thing only to have the binding to magically blow apart on me on the landing. Had to ski the whole way down on one ski.

why don't parks have more single barrel rails? I was at snowmass this weekend and they had one and it was tough as shit, but super fun and helps a ton with balance. I want to practice more single barrels yet most parks have mainly or all flat bars and double barrels.
