start on the lowest straight rail u can find. Approach it and turn whichever direction you like, land on the rail at about 70-90 degrees.
ake sure your stance is wide, and that your #1 goal is to balance to the end. commit commit commit. Some people will say look at the end of the rail, doesn't work for me.

1080s are easy. any half retarded baby licker could strap on a pair of fag sticks and spin around. if you want to do something that requires skill, why dont you faggots take up backcountry pogosticking.

lean back. not as in over your heels but so the first few times you slide of the rail so behind you. that way you can get a feeling and if you fall you'll be off to the side

No, I asked you to give me a refreshing drink. I wasn't expecting a
fucking rainforest; you could fall in love with an orang-atang in that.

legs shoulder width apart, look at the end of the rail and if you start rotating get the fuck off.

remember the bit about singing another one bites the dust. this is crucial.

Don't lean back, keep your skis flat and a little more weight on your forward foot (just to ensure you don't lean back.)

Eat. Sleep. Breathe. Ski.

assuming your looking at the rail from above
=================
don't lean to the left but instead lean either up or down on this drawing. that way you'll fall off to the side if you mess up.

you still don't want to lean back bigski, any minor amount of leaning back will result in ass bruises

when i say back i mean away from the rail. not as in back as in over your edges but so your skis slide off

make your own rail. Make it low and small enough that you don't need much speed to do it. Wider makes it easier too. Thats what I did. Remember to commit to the rail. If you jump on and don't commit you'll slide off the side.
