depending on how much it 'c's' or curves you'll eigther be able to come on stright and then lean in (or out) and have to come on already leaning. just sack up and expirement, you'll figure it out pretty quick

you jus gotta commit to it and have some balls, dont be scared to lean into it. it will take you for a ride you dont have to do too much

As with all rails, just watch the end and it should come naturally.

when i was learning how to do a c-box, rex thomas told me to kinda turn with the rail right before you got on it...like get on edge...im not sure if i understood him right, but try it.

the way i learned was on one that curves to the left. i would get on and then basically just go straight and come off the back right away. then lean more and more until you get it right. it worked for me and i finally got it without ever falling.

c rails are def a completely different challenge than straight rails. i'd rather tackle a 6 kink rail than a really tight c. but anyway, you just have to reeeallly commit and go for the ride as someone said, it might be scary at first but theyre mad fun. you'll get it, dont expect to grease your first one no problem.

yo man my trick on c rails is u kind of gap like 2 feet of the first part and u wanna come form the inside and just let it slide you... it kind of depends if your doing it tip facing down or up tho... i find tips facing up is easier but thats just my opinion

if the rail curves to the right, i like to get on on the right side of the rail....sometimes its good to come on from the left at an angle tho...just depends on the rail

C-rails are a little tricky, you always want to grind naturally, cause its so much harder to do it unnatural, plus you slide off way easier, but when you get them down its alot of fun.

not tryin to be cocky, but i didn't find them to be hard at all. in fact, the first C rail i tried i greased. as long as you get into the curve it should take you off the end. i like heel down toes up way more. i don't really like putting my toes down.

I sort of thought of it like (if the curve is in the same direction as your toes) tipping my head down a little bit, and pointing my toes down.

yea mullet skum im with you. i would rather slide curves over kinks any day, they feel so smooth and i find them really easy. its all about where you get on the rail really.... its alot easier to be facing the rail then facing the ground as well on c-rails.... just get used to setting your weight and you'll get it

270s on are mad hard, but theyre even harder if u spin on the same direction the rail curves to, if u know wat i mean. try coming on from the side. and yes u can fuck your self up very badly

you just gotta get the amount of lean right and figure out where you gotta put the rail under your ski
