Rail Trouble?? K+

Ok so my friend that I ski with every weekend has this problem. On every rail any type down bar, dfd, donkey dick, box, flat bar, and tubes he just slides off the rail about 2 feet from the end. He gets so frustrated and thanks to this he hardly EVER goes for tricks on rails (lets just say he likes jumps better). If you have any tips I will give K+ Thanks!!

Make sure he really grips onto the rail and commits the whole way, my friend had the same problem but once he realized that was a little nervous about it he fixed up his problem and can ride rails fine now. Give him some confidence with grinding the rail and I'm sure he will be fine.

Im not trying to bug you or anything Im just giving my honest opinion.

Your friend needs to look at the end of the rail. Also, he needs the right amount of speed. That can only be done with practice.

If getting off is the hard part, have him try coming off switch. I think it's a lot easier. Also look at the end of the rail like above
