Starting on Rails

Hey man,

Had the same problem when I learned rails. Here is the fix. Your problem is you are hitting the rail and instinctivly edging like you are going to stop (muscle memory). What you've got to do is find a mellow groomer and try doing an exagerated pop 90. Hands forward, chest and skis 90. Hands up. Head looking at where the end of the rail would be. Now instead of doing a hockey stop just flatten your bases and match the slopes angle. You will start side slipping. Once you are confident with side slipping bring it to a small box. Once you stomp that bring it to a flat rail and bang you are practically tom wallisch.

Hope I helped. Dont get discouraged it just takes practicw

I'm assuming you mean boxes. Just widen your stance and look at the end. Number one mistakes right there.

You are leaning back. Stay parallel to the box when you slide it, not on your edges at all

Wider stance. That's the key

Sry i meant perpendicular

Look at the end of the rail and you will go there
