Does anyone have a problem of "catching" in the last third of the rail????
I always lose a ski and/or eat shit...and yes, min din is up plenty
I hit the rail fine...wide stance...leaning over the back of the rail...and I can;t fucking figure it out...
any suggestions?

try to hit it with more speed, and put your weight a bit more on the foot that is leading.

it might also be your ski... if you just had them tuned or something the edge might just be catching on the rail as you start slowign down

speed on  c rails is def the key.....i think c rails are easier than any other rail or box....i hit them before anything else.....just carry a lot of speed....more than you think and you'll be fine.....
