gap up to the top, and turn slowly as ur going towards the top, once u get there, slide, and bring urself around to come off switch

Well a lot of people start off on boxes, and they just call them 'Rails'

just suck ur legs up at u go up it, make sure u get ur skis parallel to the rail right away too, made that mistake last year, nutted myself then cracked my rib falling into the bar holding it up. But then i got up and did it 4 times in a row, so u just kinda gotta go for it

It's just like sliding a normal rail. I dunno i find it really hard to get on to them though since they are all set up so bad at all the hills i go to.\

Rainbow's require ball's and the willingness to smash them, i have never nutted myself on one but im more worriedabout my nuts on a rainbow than a 32 kink down up down rail. Speed is your friend just like he said ^ gap to the top start small none of that keystone shit your first time. But once you get them they are fun as fuck.

at my hill they haven't made a jump up to the rainbow, so its really hard to take. you need to turn before the rail. thats another way to do a rainbow, but its much harder

the key is to almost gap up to the top. most hills set them up so that lower level snowboards can ride on 50-50. if the kick up isn't the same angle as the rail (which it isn't usually) then just pop to the highest part you can with your legs sucked.
