liamskis24I can't always do switch ups on down rails, do you guys have any tips to get them locked in
Aparkerdo an early front 2
The.FishSorry to bump and old thread but I am currently trying to learn front swaps, and I don't know if I should try them on a flat rail or a down rail. I keep slipping out instantly whenever I try them on a down tube, and I find it to be the easiest rail to pedal on that we have right now. Only issue is that it is a longer tube so you pick of a lot of speed very quickly

The.Fishyea ive already watched that like 5 times, im trying into on that long tube at brandywine that you were hitting sunday
TheBagOTricksAre you slipping off it early?
The.Fishas soon as i land after I swap im slipping out. Id assume its cause im popping bad
TheBagOTricksCould be that, could also be you just aren't comfortable with sliding unnat. Like the guys above mentioned, learn on a flat rail and if you're still slipping out learn how to hit the rail unnatty so when you go to swap you are comfortable sliding the rest of the rail.

Mort.Mcflyi mostly just do surfaceswaps on downrails. it doesn't really matter how wide the tube is.
TRVP_ANGELjudging from your dfd vid, i was in the same boat about a season or two ago. The best tip is to just pop hard and keep looking, biggest mistake is to keep looking toward the end of the rail (or worst down at your feet). Since its your first few you dont need to make it perfect, just get it around so just keep looking and have faith that your legs will wrap around. Also keep more pressure forward on your front leg or else itll feel awkward when swapping.
The.Fishi prefer to keep my skis in 1 piece
