battle ships are tricky specially if there steep, yuo just gotta try and try, io started out jumpin the up and doing the flat down, try that, and try riding up it too, youll get it if you keep trying

if you are slipping out you are landing too stiff legged on the rail, not bending your knees enough and not leaning forward enough anticipating the kink... Im no pro but thats what I noticed about my first fuckup on my friends battleship rail, every other time after that it was easy
For any rail, stay low, weight a lil forward/centered and absorb any respective kinks... spinning... I'll get back to you in a week or so

ohhh, my friend hit one of those with too much speed and gapped the flat part and kinda missed the down part too. It was sick, he fell real hard but I got a good laugh out of it.

spinning on a rail?? like spinning a switchup with out jumping...just set your spin when you get on by spinning past the 90degree mark (blindside) then as you spin over the rail make sure to keep your skis really close to each other almost touching... then widen em up as you complete the 180

Shit there's this really small trap rail at Sunday River which is fun as hell... Anyways, get speed because I barley made it to the flat part, stalled there for a lil' just after the kink then just my legs split and nutted.
