what type of rails are your guys hardest to finish? for some odd reason theres a sharp C to down shotgun thats about 40 feet in all, I've finished it once an its so frustrating. fast multiple urban kink rails are easier to finish than the C to down.

My mountain had an elbow to down rail last season. The elbow was super abrupt and was more like a closeout. The down part was really long, so you needed a ton of speed to make it. Kids would fly into it and then explode into an automatic misty 4 as soon as they hit the closeout. I think only 4 people slid the entire thing.

We made a S-rail to dfd single barrel combo. I wouldn't say it was frustrating trying to get the whole thing, just fun.

My hill (Trollhaugen) just got this rail. They havent set it up yet but it looks fun as hell. I can imagine falling off early a lot but i really don't know what to expect. I hope they dont just make a sketchy snowboard ride onto it.

I hit a handrail like that and it took me two full days to get it. There's something about the last straight segment that kills.

There is an urban triple kink near my house and it's so irritating! Probably hit it like 25 times and haven't got to the end

I suck at S rails but popping off the end is the best feeling

yeah i totally understand this. Its almost you focus on the whole rail and worry about the last segments but if u get the first C well the down should come easily
