S rails

Oye,
So today at sunapee (NH) i hiked their S rail about 30 times trying to get the whole thing and i gotta pretty damn close.  I was able to get around the first C and about 3/4ths of the second.

Any tips on how to master this rail?  Should i go in with a lot more speed then a straight rail or less? also i have been jumping on prretty straight and was wondering if it was better to jump onto it from the left...  One more problem i was having was that after the first C my body tended to straighten out forward and the rail would go between my legs or i would fall off...

Any tips would help!

Heres the rail

looks like a beast. in all my experiences with S-rails (one day total) i found that to get to the end you just need speed. and if you come from your natural side it helps a little i guess, its all in how the rail is set up. but really, for this rail, come in hard, get to that curve, and then try and get on the inside for the second C.

slay that shit son.

That looks like grouse mountains s-rail, only a little less curved. Either way here is a video of some of the people I ski with cleaning the S rail at grouse, hope it can give you some tips. http://vimeo.com/626444

if you pretend youre fuckin a chick it works. if its a mellow rail, go slow. if its a tight rail, fuck the shit out of it.

The most important thing when sliding s-rails is to turn your shoulders once you have completed the first c.

thats such a nice rail. just commit to leaning in the right direction and youll be fine. S rails are by far one of the most fun features, way more fun than s boxes
