Me and my boy are looking to ski some urban features. Any tips on how to avoid sticky rails, catching an edge on a sticky rail is the ultimate buzzkill. Thanks homies keep it real.

Dont slide aluminuM. Just dont. Try to look for a not too long not too steep rail and since it will most likey be urban entry (jump on side of rail) make sure you commit 100% and land flat on the rail.

Before you ride it make sure you slide your ski all the way down to check for "bumbs" or anything you cpuod catch your edge on. But dont dig your edge in and try to make it smooth that will probs make some cuts that will make you catch an edge. If its painted either scrape it off carefully or move to another rail

bring wax, or just scrape off any imperfections with the edge of your ski. Using a chunk of snow down it usually helps

You can also use WD 40 to help make the rail slide and make sure there is no sticky paint on the rail
