that happens to EVERYONE the first time they hit the rail.. slip off and smash your butt. Once you get that out of the way, it's smooth sailin'... congrads!

have no fears i trail you only by about 30 lbs....the only downside:
all that weight + metal on metal = buh bye edges

that's why I don't do rails. I need to get a shitty old pair so I can start and not wreck my good skis.

try not to slam so much.....the smoother you get on the easier the whole process will be.....but as i already found out edges wear out fast with all that weight.....i'm looking for a second pair of twins as we speak

My first rail attempt, i ended up stradeling the rail. But thank god the rail hit the inside of my thigh about an inch from my balls. It hurt like a little bastard and left a nasty bruise, but it could have been worse.

Thanksgiving is kind of a weird holiday. I mean, we're celebrating the one time in history we got along with the Native Americans. Its like a date rapist saying 'We should concentrate on the great dinner we had before the evening started.'

yeah my first rails were small so o couldnt nut myself, and that was a good idea because i didnt turn far enough and i would always slip off the rail with my legs on each side of the rail, but then i got the hang of it and i did like a 20 footer the next week and i was mad happy

ive been going at em for 3 years and still cant stick everyone.

my advice is to get someone to video tape you. the easiest way to learn is to be able to see what you are doing wrong.
