there'll prolly be a flat tube of some sort to hike so i'm tryna get a good list of things to try. also will be a bunch of other features so doesn't have to be just 10 ft flat rail stuff. just give me ideas so i can pull out a list and pick a few things for a day.
ive got both way 2s out on pretty much any average box and rail. never hit a down rail... had sw onto boxes to sw or forward, backslide on boxes, got front swap and back surface on summer setup a few times, also safety slide... pretty much all my stuff isnt locked in so i should work on that but im confident i could get 2s on and stuff decently fast so i want some ideas. thanks

A back swap continuing two would be a pretty simple learn.

If you're into one foot slides they can be easy to learn on a simple setup You've done a backslide already so practice those and try fastslide. K-fed ( front swap blind 2) and Britney (blind swap front 2) are logical next steps. Get comfortable sliding unnatural. That will help you a lot when for hitting rails switch and spinning on. A front 4 is pretty easy, works best off a round rail with a bit of a drop at the end. If you get the K-fed try a front 4 out. Same amount of spinning.
Hitting rails at varying speeds is always good to work on- go as fast as possible while still hitting part of the rail and as slow as possible, even step on. If there's a rail close to the ground, try and get on it from the side, or something I always like to try is carrying a ton of speed into a turn back up the hill and trying to hit the rail from the bottom.

I did the challenge rail at Northstar closing day 2017 one-footed. I was drunk and my buddy was watching but nobody filmed it :/
Didn't even mean to. Just happened. Wish I had it on film.

Just get all your usual/fav tricks back for the season and then try and do the unnatty version once you've gotten some of the rust shaken off.

Don't neglect unnatural slides, spinning both ways, and lip/tail ons if you wanna be a well rounded rail skiier.



Also doing a billion front 2s is fun and easy but if you wanna have swag do more back 2s
