I suck at tubes

I somehow got worse at tubes. My park has this tube that is like 80 percent in the ground and I can’t slide it, everytime I try I slide out backwards and I try leaning forward and it doesn't help. I used to be able to kinda slide a tube but the other tube was higher up, could the low tube be fucking me up? Also there’s a really ez rail at my park so should I just skip the whole tube issue and try to learn that and figure out tubes later?

Spread your feet, get low, and dont be scared coming into it. It hurts way less to catch an edge and fall forward than it does to slip back and fall onto the rail, so get that weight on your front foot

I also suck and had this same problem.
The first tube you were able to slide sounded like it was angled more down than the one you're trying now. The downward angle helps. Was the first tube wider? Those are easier too
You just gotta keep trying. Keep at it. Try the easy rail also.

What helps me is pretend that your sliding the rail with your feet not your skis which helps you get centered a ton and spot the end of the rail when you hop on.

Also OP maybe try experimenting with different ways onto the rail. Are you jumping on with it between your legs or from the side? Maybe go for a lip slide and just see if that’s easier for you

have you been focusing on the bottom of the tube to stay centered?

Yeah fr when I was struggling to learn 2s off I switched to lip sliding and could always lock on way better.


kinda seemed to have lost the lip slide skills these last few years though lol

long time lurker

I just started not sucking so much. Pop, forward weight, speed (but not so fast you don't learn the feel), centered position on the landing that let's you pedal/scissor the full tube, wide leg positioning for pedal/scissor, look at the end of the tube, but don't forget forward weight after all those steps or you'll fuck it all up.

tbh the prob with the park is I never see anybody else fucking up that isn't on a 1-foot box. It's pretty much a binary range of Jerry to 2 pretz dub rodeo 9 hand drag. Feels like I'm the only one ever learning anything, so you just gotta dgaf which is easy for me bc I'm elderly
