railsides - problem

the only way i can balance on a rail is my left side forward. Now nothing wrong with that except it's an unnatural slide. So my slides are always bigger but I want to do natural ones. I learned the natural ones after years of skating and doing 50-50's.

ya skating totally messes me uip for natural and unnatural, because of fs in skating and fs spins in skating

for example fs grinds are much much easier then bs grinds, but fs spins are also much easier then bs grinds, take this into account for skiing, ytou then have your natural spin, but when you grind you tend to grind unnatural becuase thats the position yuor used to for skating

it messed me up completely, because i try to compare it to my skating

frootboots my friend. grab a pair and try some frontsides, it all helps out in the end.

by the way kittens, frontsides and backsides do exist on skis. whoever disagrees must be boarderline retarded. approuch the rail from the left side, turn 90 to the left and slide it so you seem to be moving towards the rail with your back. thats a backside. vise versa for frontside.

just jump up and spin. when u spin flat u spin off of one foot, which is ur non-strong foot. like ur right leg stronger, you take off left leg and spin to your left.




i fall a lot, and im cool

What ever is NATURAL for you is NATURAL, its real easy. If you feel more comfy grinding with your left foot forward, thats natural for you and vice versa.
