i think that every rail should be skirtied at resorts because if ther open u can get killed its stupid not to put wood to cover up the legs whats ur take?

Skiing in NC aint so bad

I hate it when snowboarders think they are so cool because they can 50 50 a rail

yeah they really should. some places put padding on hte support beams but that just isnt as good as skirting. i have bashed my shin in becuase the padding was old and not on the rail properly. if there had been skirting i would have been fine.

big resorts dont skirt mainly for the bad-ass look...if you look at their smaller park, they'll probably have skirting there...


but yeah, skirting is a life, and knee saver.

some things like s boxs/rails or even c,s should be and kiddie park stuff but to skirt some rails is stupid because if your hitting it skirting shouldnt be an issue.

i never understood the purpose of skirting. i thought it was just so you could see the rail better. for photos, filming and what not.

there's only like 5-6 rails at ripley and none of them are skirted, there's this really gnarly one with like 10 or 12 1/2" diameter legs that come out on 45's, so gross looking and dangerous.




I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

All rails should be skirted with steel.

^or lexan. then when you get tired of it being a rail, you flip it sideways and you have a box!

rail skirting is pointless, except on begginer rails. if you are going to do rails, you should learn how to fall off. it adds an element of difficulty

oh damn dude, my favorite kind of rail skirting is when the rails dont wear panties and the smell of twat oil fills the air when a slight breeze hits that sweet sweet tangity tang. i love when rails dont even wear skirts and you can fall and put both legs inside of them and they tickle your sack and you just lay back and think of elton john tickling the ivory.

yeah unskirted rails are unnessarily dangerous, its just easier to break out the plywood. i saw a guy catch his ski on a support cos he just slid off the side of the rail, but it yanked so hard he did his knee. no point in not skirting really.



-------------------------------------

if I ever see Shane McConkey, I'm going to point at his skis and go 'Dude, they look like waterskis!' just to keep the trend going.

i think the most dangerous rails are the high up ones, people ought to were a cup, but not really

A guy I ski with spun off and got his ski stuck under the rail. Broke his femur I believe. Hes been out since December, still on crutches, and won't ski or play lacrosse for a long time.

So basically, yah every rail should have a skirt.

well right before or the second you hit your hands go down and grab the rail unless your falling sideways too. but nutting is horrible. ive done it once and i never will again. overcommiting is bad

maybe you have small balls^. i really dont see a need for rail skirting.

then your leaning backwards when you fall. if you fall forward in the nutting position your balls will be squashed and fluid will spill out onto the rail causing the rail to become stickier for everyone else to nut
