First piece of advice would be to grind the handrail that does NOT have a pole next to it.

You should probably learn how to slide rails first.

Don't be such a bitch.

OP, that was great and hilarious, I was laughing the whole time and thinking about you narrating the video "What is wrong??" when you slowly slid into that pole at the bottom time and time again haha.

either hit the other one, or ski the whole way down and dont come off the tips of your skis will hit the pole and it will just bring you round to land switch

all very well if you're hornbeck, max hill or anyone else who's a wizard with that sort of feature. You? not so much. other rail looks so nice

I think it looks like you're not popping, then turning 90, you're rushing it and sort of doing both simultaneously, also it looks like you're looking at the pole and thus sliding off to that side. try and pop, then spin 90, focus on the end of the rail, and get a bit of grip with the uphill edge of your right ski as if you were prepping for front 2 out—just not as aggressively–it'll prevent you from sliding off to the left. try and slide the rail with the balls of your feet rather than dead center or more on your heels.

you look fairly comfortable, and pretty balanced, I think with some very minor tweaks, and just some more practice, you'll be locked in. If I were you, I'd build an "ohsonotcool" lip/full on booter in this case on the outside of the stairs to the right so that you can slide the other railing your natural way without having to get on lip. Then, what's your money over there, knock it down and go back to the other railing. That pole, when you're better, will give you the opp to do some sick shit ala taps, and uberduper fast spin outs.

Thanks for the useful response!! (;
My idea was to use the pole at the end of the rail to switch out
