1) approach the rail
2) turn 90 degrees so u can actually slide
3) stay over ur skis (lean forward, first try ull lean too far back and ull slip off and fall)
4) by the end of the rail turn ur skis so u can ride away
5) just do it, dont give up

look at the end of the rail the entire time. work on one thing at a time and eventually you wont have to think about it.

1)learn how to spell JIB
2)commit to the rail---->turn 90 degrees when youre jumping onto it.
3)look toward the end of the rail as your sliding it
4)lean forward as your sliding the rail or box
5)come off either switch or regular by rotating your shoulders

main things to remember when first trying to slide a rail/box:
turn a full 90 degrees.
keep your feet (bases) flat on the rail/box
keep your feet a little wider than shoulder width
dont be a pussy. commit to whatever it is that youre trying.

starting on a box is a good way to learn. basically just commit to sliding the rail

remember to first jump then turn 90 in the air ive seen many other attempts where people just try to turn up the jump onto it. but not like so they are 90 degrees they do it so they are like 30 then just sack themselves
