nahhhh it really doesnt make a difference. I slid rails with my race skis and they6 have a waist of 55mm and my ar5s have a waist of 81mm and I didnt notice a huge diff. sounds to me like your friends just a bit better right now. just slide rails over and over and over and youll surpass him its how much you want to learn new stuff and your drive. not the width of ur skis

I doubt that's the reason your friend slides rails better than you. However, a few years ago I used to slide rails on these old non-twin tip skis which were really skinny under foot. When I hit rails for the first time with my PEs i noticed an instance difference. It was MUCH easier.

i actually own both of the skis you're asking about. and i slide rails with both. it doesn't make a difference really. they feel a little different when you're sliding, but i wouldn't say that one ski is easier than the other.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

It makes a difference but not a big one. I doubt it makes even a noticable difference on an s-rail, though Duller edges do help in sliding rails.

i dont think it does anything, only thing that would seem dif would be race skis to profets, which u prob wouldnt have a person with those 2 exact skis

I notice a difference with a wider ski, but I think it only helps to make up for the fact that I'm not very good. As I get better I feel like I can do just as well on a skinnier ski.
