Iv noticed something quite odd about rails..as the day goes on..rails seem to get 'stickier'. For example.. the last time i was skiing.. theres this rail that was fine..but as the night went on i kept keting stuck, hung up on it...and its not the only rail that i have noticed this on.
Also.. How do people adjust to different and varying rails. example: Theres one rail that i need to slightly lean bak on to slide. then another rail right after it that is a LOT slipperier and requires me to lean forward. While i was in the process of discovering its relitive sliperiness..i had a couple of unpleasant falls. So, eventually i ajusted to this rail by leaning more forward. The next day..im sliding my rail in my back yard and since im now used to sliding a bit more forward, thats hos i attempted to slide it. I ended up cathing my front edge and chiping a bone in my wrist.
Anyway..to the point..how do you guys compensate and adjest for the varying slipperiness/ grabbyness of a rail without eating it. Thanks!
