When i do cs i get on it like a regular rail (like everything not even leaning and then when the rail curves you let it take you. Basically dont nthink about it. I mean i dont really know because the c's i do arent that ced but from what i know just do that. Good luck!

yeah. but this c is a full 180 c. it is curved when you get on it. the whole thing is a giant curve. you get on facing left and end up facing right, completely.

sounds more like a giant horse shoe rail, i would suggest that you try looking further ahead on the rail. im haveing trouble on our banked c rail, and every time that i look at the very end of the rail i do way better on it than i do when i dont look.

we have a c-box at my hill and its really easy, i just turn a little bit and just ride the box out, you dont have to think, just let the rail or box carry you, the rail might be a little bit harder though

dont over think the c-part. i see so many people think that since its a c-rail, they havce to lean like mad, its untrue. keep youre arms out front, and just use those to keep yourself on. watch dash long-perfect example

this is a half circle. you just can't tell from this angle.

there is also a c box but it barely curves so that is easy. its way different than a big c rail.

All i can think is just do it a whole bunch of times i did that with my c-rail and i didnt get it for a while but after hiking it like 30 times i can get it every time. You just have to develope a feel for it find what make you most comfotable. Basically experiment and if your leaning to far out then lean a little more in and vise-versa if your getting 3/4 then its just a matter of time until you get the whole thing

yo that rail is fresh no doubt.

on how to: ain't nothing to it but to do it.....over and over till your comfy then you can spin off or whatevs. just picture yourself doing it like with anything else and you'll land it.

yeah it's been said before, but just go with the flow, don't overthink the curve, you'll go with it naturally

PS-that;'s a relly sic rail, i want to hit it
