yeah, just absorb the up part with your legs. If you lean back you won't be able bring your body foreward over the top. I stuck a big raimbow on my first try, just make sure your skis are at 90 degrees. Racking yourself on the top is no good.

if you go fast enough you don't even really feel the rail under you its kind of like your doing an air but straighten your legs so at least they touch the rail a little

go at it with medium slow speed, whatever you do dont focus on the beginning of the rail. air of the ramp a little and just float it til you touch and slide it like a normal rail

we have a narrow box rainbow at northstar, it was a nice way to learn because it was tall and long so i got the balance down completely. I still prefer airing it and touching down on the rail at the top



and more, much more than this, I did it my way
