GO slower than you would for a straigt rail. like way slow you will pick up speed on the down. THen put most of your weight on your downhill ski and look towards the end of the rail

Stiff knees so you don't crumble at the kinks.
Lean forward.

keep a low center of gravity, and let your knees absorb the kink.

absorb the kink with your knees and lean forward

first off, make sure that your pants are well below your waist, and then take off real ghetto-like for your run-up. Once approaching the rail, drop your arms low so that they drag along the snow, and pop on. Once at the kink, I suggest a keepin it nice and tight, goin out switch with authority

uhh i think if you try and keep your shoulders parelell to the rail that should work. Thats what it looks like when all the pros do it... i think that would help style too.

don't go too fast, or you will fly off of the kink.

just got to stay relaxed and absorb the kink, if you get all scared and tense up you will straight-leg it and fall back at the kink because you wont be ready for the increase in speed. also at the kink try and lean farther forward



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