Ok, I was checking out my skis and noticed that im not really centered on rails, because most of the scratches and shit are closer to the tip of my skis. I know learning rails is bacially trail and error, but any tips on being centered on the rail?

watch as you get on the rail, look the rail right under the center of your boot.

?? can't tell if you're serious or not...

I always just look the rail under my boot, then focus about 4 feet in front of me for the rest of the rail

it all has to do with how you jump on the rail. i used to do that so i started jumping on diff so that my feet would land centered and it works out nicely

have the rail in between your feet as your riding up, then when you get on, try to have the rail right under your boots, it should help your rail sliding to be more centered too

definatley do NOT look at your feet. look at the end of the rail, that is the best and only way to do it.

start by coming in with a wider stance, and lining your testicles up with the rail, then pop off the lip (try not even jumping but pulling your legs up) and turning them a perfect 90 degrees.
then lock your eyes on the end of the rail, come off switch and ride away with style
