um my first time trying a rail was this summer, got on ok, got to the end of the rail but was leaning too far back, i smacked my ass soo fucking hard on the end of the rail. ugh it hurt soooo bad. had a HUGE bruise for about 2 weeks. had a great teacher though so it made it better, he made me really wanna learn and get better

my first rail was actually a snowmaking pipe in the woods cause my mountian didnt have a park...I just kept doing it sliding a couple of ft more, and I got it pretty quickly.

the first rail I tried was a flat rail about 15 feet. I fell backwards right onto the rail as soon as I got onto it. I had a bruise 6in across on my leg and you can still feel a little hole in my leg where I fell on it.

it took me a couple of tries my first time, but once you commit, its a cake walk. I do remember however my first time trying a flat down flat (it was a homemade rail), i caught an edge right before the down, and came very close to smashing my head into the rail, but i caught myself, and the next time through I "greased" it

i always wondered what those metal things were for. i just go of the sides of the jumps. if these so called "rails" werent in the way i would go straight of of the jumps and probably be able to get way more air.

i would always screw around on pipes i'd find on the side of runs. but 4 years ago, the first actual rail i tried was a flatbar at fortune. i was in my tony hawk-ish video game phase at the time, and just expected to be turned sideways on the rail automatically like they do in video games. well, i still have a lump on my nut from that one. not to mention that experience was a real motivator to slide rails well after that, rather than just be lazy or scared about it. so i'm almost glad it happened.

Mine was that first box in snowbird's park. There was a little gap from the kicker to the bow, so I went way too fast, just to make sure i cleared it. Had my skis way too close together, and landed at the end of the box, and slipped out on contact. Fell a good 6 feet nearly on my head. Felt good

I've done lots of krisi leskinen slides on boxes but My first rail was the Bike Rack at canyon, I didn't commit first time so I slid it for a tiny bit then fell off with it between my legs, I got it a few tries after.
