The other day I was talking with some of my roommates (I live with 15 snowboarders and one other skier) about the pros and cons of skiing vs snowboarding on rails. Skiers have a much easier time gripping/spinning, but snowboarders can press. I'm not saying skiers can't press or snowboarders can't spin, just saying some tricks are easier done on a snowboard than on skis, and vice-versa. I tried to find a video of a skier pressing, and I mean pressing by snowboard standards. Not sitting down on a rail, pressing the last half, or sliding with the rail a few inches in front of or behind their bindings (no disrespect, those all look dope). I mean a real press, like at least a good six inches away from the binding, locked on for the entirety of the rail. I couldn't find one, and was wondering if anyone knew of such a video. I really want to be able to show my roommates that skiers can press, but i'm afraid that's not the case. Theoretically it's possible, but I've never actually seen it.
Short Version:
Show me a video of a skier pressing an entire rail, so I can show my snowboarder friends that skiers can press.
