No I wouldnt think so unless you are maybe a begginer to rails but otherwise no and skiinier skis would probably help because the skinnier the lighter which means easier and fastier switch ups and spins out

wider skis are more stable and narrow skis are more flickable. You would get use to whatever you slide rails on.
