im not very good at rails and i want to compete in at least 1 slope comp this season. im ok at jumps so i kno that i wont get killed in that area but i can barely 270 onto a box. would i be ok competing or is it just worth it to kick it around the mtn?

well they dont judge rails in the xgames slopestyle so you should be fine.

You can just slide it straight, or skip it altogether if you want.  Just have fun with it.

don't skip anything
im pretty sure that would ruin your score
just strait slide stuff and 270 off it's still sick if your pretty good at jumps then you should be fine

try to learn rails, minus doing like 270's on and off and shit. if you could learn to do a rail, and possibly a switch up, and nail jumps, i think it would me prime. OPTIMUS PRIME.

just do the rails really styish and make up for the tech on the jumps. you might not win but im sure it would be a blast and a good time to learn a little

just do backflips  off the sides of the jumps. its way more badass than doing the rail anyway.
