Help me with urban

I know that I need an old pair of skis, snow, wax
This is not my first attempt at urban skiing but when ever I try it my jumps always collapse when my skis hit it. When I watch ski movies I always see them throwing some sort of salt or something like that I was wondering what that was.

Any advice is wanted

Water it down and let it freeze if it's cold. Salt it and let it freeze if it's hot.

Make sure it's fully packed down before putting water or salt on it.

I don't think salt works as well in super cold temps, it just turns the snow sandy.

Don't over think it, go out and hit the rail.

Pick a smaller low consequence rail to start, it's going to be 10 times scarier actually hitting it than how you are imagining it. Drink lots of water, if you hike for hours you will get dehydrated easily.

Thanks I have been known to nearly pass out when hiking and some rails are scary but thanks so much
