steeze is style, and just make sure you're ready for the rail. Good speed, proper stance, and commit, and just slide the shit outa that rail.

ya, if you just keep sticking with it, youll probably get it after 5 or 6 hits at the most.

keep your body square over your skis and dont second guess your self, as you go up to the rail, KNOW you can do it.

oh ya, dont put your weight on your back foot, because then youll fall on your side. put most of your weight on your foot that is closest the the end ot the rail(leading foot.)

Steeze is just style man - you wanna look like you are in control, stay centred on the thing and weight forward etc.
Set up for the rail by coming in with the rail in between your legs - skis almost shoulder width apart - and commit to it. Have a low stance so the steeze patrol don't come down on you with flames. Commitment is the main thing i rekon..

mmm you dont really want to "learn" with "steeze" get the rail or what ever you are doing down, then you can add style. if you try to look cool and not know what you are doing, you will fuck up.

I learned rails by trying them slow at first. Took quite a few spills working in my balance but hell, I'm better for it now.

just commit and after you get on look at the end of the rail, that definitely helps
