isn't that just sliding a rail? it's kind of an assumption, we have names for when you don't slide it sideways

it should be a "skislide", just like a snowboarders "boardslide". andy parry kind of took it for his one ski 50-50 though.

Well.. Andy Parry's ski slide makes sense since ski stand for a single ski. But if you put an S on the end of Ski slide to make it plural for two skis you get Ski's Slide.
So what I'm getting at is why not call it Ski's slide

I always called it a standard slide. Normal, regular, standard, whatever you want to call it.

Perpendicular or parallel based on how your skis and the sliding surface are. perp for 50/50's, para when needed, otherwise assumed.
Changes no previous trick names except give 50/50 back to the boarders.

Lip 270 to para 180 out

Perp to para over the kink pretz 450 out

I usually just say "hey check me out, I'm the best skier on the mountain!" Then i hit it sideways and slip off early and eat shit. And then i say "i just got so hyphy!". So i guess saying getting hyphy would work

You don't have trucks on your skis and you are not riding sliding it parallel to the rail, hence "50/50" doesn't work.

Hereafter I will be referring to it as a "Lucy" for left-foot forward slide and "Ralph" for right-foot forward slide.

Ralph to Lucy to 270 out

I tend to call it either 90 or "reg" for regular, both are short and seem to get the point across without a problem.

this edit can describe the situation. sliding sideways before you're on a rail, or before you leave a jump

examples at 1:30, 1:45, and 1:57

Railslide = sliding sideways
50/50 = parallel to the rail
Skislide = 50/50 with one ski off

the more you know
