yeah,

so i have figured out why i suck dick at rails...... i am very off balance... i lean forward. alot, if its when im ice skating, aggressive inlining , or skiing . i lean forward... every time i hit a rial ( on skis and aggressive inlines) i fall off with tips down aka, forward leaning. I'm wondering if anyone has any solutions or similar problems. i really wanna correct this before ski season. any tips or tips please just let me know!


oh and 999th post :D

thanks

tail press the shit out of the rail and there you go

but seriously just bend your knee and aim the rail so the rail is under your feet, also look at the end of the rail.

you can also try the scisor, just place you ski like when your going to do a fronside spin

Get a skate board and get used to going downhill straight. If you lean forward at all you will turn... so get used to going straight and you want your balance to be pretty much the same.

Forward mounts to offset the weight seems to be the only logical solution

when you are learning to hit rails you should approach them from a parallel angle and only turn your skis once you are above the rail. i can almost guarantee that you are coming at the rail from an angle and that is something that should only be fucked with once you're proficient at getting to the end of the rail. you can still slide a rail to the end if you're leaning forward, i mean, watch henrik hit some rails some time.
