I like uploading these videos directly to newschoolers but I do not think I reach all the people who would benefit most off of this, so that is why I am posting it here as well. If you like it please give it an up vote or if you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know.

If the embedded did not work if someone could please do that for me in the first couple comments that would be awesome. +K too

I like the video, super informative, and everything you go over is super helpful, I can do rails fine but I feel like I learned something still. Good stuff man. The Slomo helps a ton.

If you put pressure on your shins, won't that make the tips of your skis go down?

It will allow you to pop better and allow for better balance

How do you adjust from flat boxes/bars to down boxes/bars? I can slide a flat box perfect but on a down box I slip out so fast. I try to lean forward more but I feel that I am missing something.

You probably want more weight on your down hill foot, and did you see the other comments about shin pressure? It will help for a more even pop

The best way to learn to hit any type of rail is to just get out there and do it, its important to be able to adapt and learn
