i was wondering if it was just me and my friends or if anyone else on NS does rails in their ski boots only from time to time for a change. i've done a fair amount of summer boot jamming at my friends houses. boots slide surprisingly well. what are your thoughts?

I've been known to make some boot turns before a pipe comp, but jibbing is for those young hip kids

This just sparked a great memory from my past. Back in the day when I used to race, my friends and I would fuck around all the time. We basically had this one lift/ run to ourselves.

So we would throw our poles off the chair and click our skis off so we could boot ski down to them. Anyways, the days we were training for slalom we had our shin guards on and so we would boot ski halfway down the run and then the next half slide on our knees with our shin guards on, you'd haul ass and it was mad fun!

Bootsliding rails is fun, the only problem is when you come off the end and your boots don't slide very well when you hit the snow.
