So i was thinking, what are some rail tricks that are equivalent to a jump trick. Its hard to explain but in my opinion, a 2 on to a down rail is equal to a rodeo 5. What are some others? Think of it in terms of difficulty, style, and like what tricks you would learn together if your rail game and jump game were equal
w_skierwhich one is a lip blind 2?
cork 7 blunt
And id also say switch to switch is equal to a zero spin (duh)
450 on is like a 540 because most 450 ons are just 540s with a little bit of rail contact.
ellen degeneres on a rail = misty 5 on a jump

Dick Squeeze = Screamin Semen and that is an actual fact
you're going to need to have two different scales for west and east
not sure if some of these comments are inaccurate or spot on. but if so my jump game is terribly weak..

Wanna trade?
Fact is, my jump game is so much better than my rail game it is ridiculous, almost embarrassing.

I can't actually front 4 but I'm going to comment anyways on this subject so people of NS think I'm a sick park rat.
Yeah if you ask anyone who could 540 to 450 disaster any rail in the park most of them would fuck up. After spinning that much then hitting the rail, just throws you off balance so much.
Switch 270 on to switch or switch to front 2 are both like switch 3s. 270 on to front 270 of is like pencil 540.

You see I would disagree I have 450ed onto boxes and PVC rails but would not feel confident on a 5 on a mid size jump. I think it comes down to what you ski most. Most of my park ridin was learnt at a dome so all rails and no jumps, so personally I don't really think they compare

It's more difficult, but it's nearly the same thing. If you have big balls and can 540 then chances are you can at least do a shitty 450 on.

Yeah! Agree you on that bro. That is why, it's also hard to find it out sometimes. Different names but with almost same moves.
2 pretz 2 = cork 3
But tbh, we should drop the difficulty factor, because most people who can 2 on can't cork 7
w_skierwhich one is a lip blind 2?
Backflip maybe, both are fairly simple but always crowd pleasers, and if non skiers ask you how good you are they dont care about what other tricks you can do besides the only jump trick in the world/backflips.

I think it comes down to what your doing it on. A 450 onto a flat box is not that hard and does not pose to much risk. A 540 on even a med size jump in my opinion has much more risk. But as I said before it's more what you ride most. If you constantly ride jumps a 5 may be pretty easy but for someone like me who never rides jumps really a 5 is much harder and more intimidating then a 450.
standing on a box = standing on a jump knuckle
going off side of a rail lip = going up a jump lip and them coming down backwards in a snow plow
these tricks I know well

or going wayyyy too slow off of a 50 footer and landing on the flat

I think we both agree that doing a 540 with a piece of metal below you is harder than doing it on a smooth jump. I am just saying that in the ten years I have been skiing park and doing rail jams I have seen way more 540 taps than 450 into a smooth lock on the rail. It takes way more skill for someone to land 450 and then have some sense of control on the rail than to just ski fast, spin 450 and ding the rail.
I think the OP of this thread was thinking like "this trick is equal in difficulty to this trick" or something and I was thinking about which tricks I throw in a similar fashion on rails and jumps.
I like to do a lot of disasters, but disasters without greasing part of the rail are just shitty taps.

it depends on what you are using to judge some of the tricks. like for example doing a backflip is about as easy as doing a regular skier slide on a flat rail but my first backflip was bout as scary as doing my first 450 on to a rail

west coast
?
skier.chriswest coast?
No, but where I'm from, there are just as bad rails as jumps. Jumps was cooler and more fun when I started out, didn't focus on the rail game. And it has just kept on going.
definitely don't think 2 on is easier than cork 7 i could cork 7 before i could 2 on and its not cause west coast, I'm from wisconsin, btw nice seeing you here skier chris

who are you man? i think i learned cork 7 first aswell but my rail game is ahead of my jump game forsure
my rail game is 10 times better then my jump game.. I think it is easier to practice rails, like in the backyard but the only time u can really practice jumps is at the mountain in front of a bunch of people.
pencil 180 = going of the jump next to the rail and proceeding to fall on your face
shin-bangnot sure if some of these comments are inaccurate or spot on. but if so my jump game is terribly weak..
im so the same as you. my jump game is so shit
tomorton9im so the same as you. my jump game is so shit
I know right, learned 2 on swap 2 out before penciled 5s and never even thought about going upside down at that point.
Fuck east coast jump-games.
if you come from a place with shitty jumps a 2 on pretz 3 swap pretz 4 is the equivalent of a backflip
