The skier slide needs a name

seriously, the skier slide needs a name. we have noseslide, tail slide, and skier slide. When im doing first hits on rails and my snowboarder friends ask me what im gonna warm it up with, what am i supposed to say here? So, I think we should put some serious thought in naming the skier slide.

well if lip-slide is tails over then tips over should be like front-slide or something.

i feel like the most intuitive answer to this problem would be to call them 'left slides[or railslide]' or 'right slides' depending on if you jump on the rail from the left or right side, and whether that is unnatural or not would be inherit in the 'left' or 'right' part depending on the individual's preference on what way to slide. so a 'right railslide' would be jumping on from the right side of the rail, right foot forward, which would be unnatural for me. then you could say left lipslide or right lipslide, left/right 270, left right 270 lip, etc. not the flashiest name but it makes sense and is easy to visualize, to me at least.

i agree with everyone else thats already said this like 50 times, if your saying "skier slide" in the first place, you sound like a fucking retard! theres no need for a name its just a rail!!!

i cant believe it took 4 years and so many stupid posts for this answer to arise...

Even more shocking is the amount of people that have commented on this old as thread today and still don't have a clue to what they are talking about.


STRAIGHT SLIDE. not that fucking hard.
