I know this is my second thread in a day sorry but I need some help on down rails. I can slide them but not the best any tips on sliding them and spinning out of them I watched jake mullers video on Peadleing, but is it the same on down rails?

Don't lean up hill. Unless you enjoy bruised hips of coarse.

Also work to keep even pressure on both feet.

For future reference, just make one thread with all of your questions.

But yes it is mostly the same, but it depends more so on the type of rail.

Hardest thing about down rails is matching the degree of the downward slope. On flat rails you don't have to think about how you should land on them but since down rails vary in their downward slope you have to make sure you land on them completely perpendicular.

ya dig?

^ I ussally fall backwards so I guess I'm leaning back when I'm on the rail. I'm going skiing today so I'll just not up and do whatever the guy above said about landing perpendicular to the rail. Thanks for your help.
