...and I'm not going skiing until January 10th.

What can I do in the mean time to practice/make sure that I can still slide rails when I get back up on the slopes? I don't have my skis because I store them at the mountain that I go to.

Thoughts?

Just have the balls to jump right on a rail the next time you ski! You know you have done it before, so just go for it like it's no biggie. Idon't really know any way besides inlines to make you maintain to be confortable on a rail. Just go for it, that worked for me.

Oh and if your steel edges is kinda sharp, then make them more blunt before january 10th, to avoid any unpleasant suprises that will scare you to not rail anymore ;)
