The first time I just went straight down and just went off the inrun and nutted myself for 20 feet.

Oh I thought you meant the first skier to hit a rail ever. I remember the first time i ever hit a rail, i slid it too. well actually first time EVER was on a snowboard at Beaver Creek, I never got the whole thing. But on skis I was at Vail and it was a tiny baby rail but i got it after 4 tries.

I was with david crichton and the NCD ski team at Camp Fortune, everyone was sessioning a crappy box lay out but ignored a 10 foot down rail. Friends told me to give it a try so i just decieded to giv'er. Bailed the first few times totally swallowing my pride. But dave was giving me tips and my buddies were rooting me own. After a few more tries i stomped that shit.

I started on a fdf, nedless to say, I never made it to the first kink. Then I went over to a 20 tube rail, and only did a 45 on, so my ski flew out from under me, and I landed on my ribcage. That hurt really bad.

My first was a backyard rail, 3 feet high and 12 feet long. I caught an edge, pole planted in the ground when I fell, and landed with my face against the pole. We got it on tape though.

My first rail ever was about 4 years ago. It was 4 ft long log laid on its side and worn down from boarders sliding it. I was my brand new (at the time) yellow 1080s, and I slid it no problem. I thought, "hey this is easy" so I went home and built a 12 ft long flat rail out of an old pole for a volley ball net. After hrs of work drilling holes and screwing the thing into two 2x4s at a T angle, I went for it and my skis caught their front edge and I went face forward and bashed my head on it.
But I got it at the end of the day

it was a 8 foot shotgun at Okemo. my friend who snowboarded went first, didnt have enough speed cause he is a pussy. I didnt speed check once and popped as hard as i could, landed at the end of the rail, slipped back and broke my wrist. I lay on the ground moaning and this guy in tight blue pants comes up and slides it perfectly with a 270 off. im like fuck i got owned

Haha, my first time was on a rail about 8 feet long and round. So I come up, only spin about 30 degrese, and just fall. Then the second time I go up and realy jump on the rail with a full 90 and my feet were to close together and I flipped backwards.

Ok it was last year at killington. my first year on twins and actually freeskiing. So i go to the Mini park at rams head. It has 2 rails 1 box and some small jumps. I hit this 9 foot rail and im sliding on it like ARHH and i fall sideways on my finger. I thought it was pretty funny

My first rail i had no idea what i was doing so i just skied up to it and stopped kind of instead of jumping on which made it so much harder, but i sessioned it for a whole day and finally got it.

I've found that mailbox's are much harder to stick then rails/boxes, because of the shape, and the fact that the one at smuggs is a rust bucket.

mine was a box at sugarloaf, the box was wide enough so I just slid it going fowards, but then I decided that was gay and I did it right on a old pair of bandits the shaped skis, the only problem was that it was wood and wasn't waxed, so I basically stopped suddenly, and fell on my side. My first real rail was two years ago, at sugarloaf, a tiny one in the ground by the superpipe and I greased it first time.

This is the first rail I ever slid, it took me at least like 15 trys to get it and then one time randomly I just commited and slid the whole thing, it was one of the best feelings in the world. (This picture is the 2nd time I got it.)

my first rail was a 15ft box at Stoneham. I didn't pop or use any speed to get on the box. I barly 90'ed and my tips caught the box and front fliped onto my ass. Clearly the sickest #1 attempt ever trying a f flip and a rail.

Well boxes, I took two tries, on I fell back on the hip, second time greased it switch out.

Rails, I fell over them and off the side. Took about 10 tries on a 10-12 foot stock rail.
