Never done one before, but my resort has one on top of a quarter pipe... So I was wondering if you guys had any tips on hown not to bust my ass on a wall ride, (some guy said they were scary as shit, but he busted his face on the landing so thats why i ask)?

When you go up, just remember not to try to have a lot of forward shin pressure, just go up like you would for a halfpipe. Get decent speed and just tap the top and come back down switch at first, and then once you get used to it, you can start really messing around on it.

wall rides are alot easier then boosting out of a quarter pipe thats for sure

as for tips start by going only 2 feet up the wall and gradually go higher till u hit the top

^ While blindfolded, so all you focus on is the transition.

stay balanced.  one time I tried one and i leaned too far forward so I lost one ski on the uphill sid of it, and my other ski and I flew over the top.  That wasn't fun

The only thing you need to know is keep your bases flat.  If you come in on edge you'll slip out.  Go straight at it bases flat, feet shoulder width apart and send it.

it's all about feel in terms of the speed you need to get to the top of the wallride and not go over or come short (I flew over the top of the wallride yesterday, yay for learning the hard way). come into the wallride with legs shoulder width apart, centered athletic stance, don't lean too far forwards or else you will face slide or ass slide the wall. when going up the wall, no matter what do not lean to far forwards even though you feel instinct to, when you get to the top stall the ledge and give a little pop and drop back switch, when you drop back switch don't look over your shoulder. Going down keep your skis shoulder width apart and your centered athletic stance. Progress your way to 1s at the top and shit.
