My friend seems to be very violent when jumping onto rails... and its a mess he even sometimes double ejects cause he stomps down so hard. Ive tried to help him. Just wondering if you guys had any flow drills for him that can get him going across smooth.

i don't know if this would even help but if he is double ejecting when jumping onto rails, even if its uber hard, i think perhaps his bindings are not set tight enough.

maybe have him practice jumping not so aggresively onto some rails that don't require much or any pop to get onto..?

just ride more and see how soft you can land on it... i think its just a natural reaction to want to make sure your on a rail when your just starting out.  i know that i did for sure, but now its like butter!

maybe take a short video of him then show him? seems like if he saw what he was doing objectively he could figure out what to change. since everything probably feels normal to him, he might not even know what to change.

like someone said just force him to watch 4bi9 edits and stuff for hours on end he will soon catch on. also make it clear that if he keeps doing it there is a good chance he could snap his skis

is he doing everything right and just stomping the shit out of the rail when he gets on or is his approach and stuff wrong too? if he has the right technique down just make him watch someone to show him whats up that its not necessary otherwise tell him what he's doin wrong

Hike a really wide, super ride-on style box for an hour until he gets comfortable with rails. And while he's doing that, you can session with him and practice nollie ons or something.

Anyone who watches 4bi9 will learn to do smooth rails/boxs and be able to ride out like a G
