How To Hit A Rail On Skis | 7 Common Mistakes!

[@TheBagOTricks]

Messed up the titles for mistake #'s throughout the video :( my bad!

[@nmwninja]

I don't know if you covered this yet, but the mental struggles and the commitment needed

[@Nathan_Benson]

Best price of advice I’ve heard for rails is pointing the tips of your skis at the end of the rail when you pop off the lip. Especially when going switch

[@remarkablysquare3216]

Yeah that's what I do and it works really well

[@calypsobirdie94]

Point up or down

[@Stawexa]

Aren’t u gnna just split the rail 💀do you mean like the angle of going on the rail, or like when you actually slide it

[@tddzyx7070]

@@Stawexa they're talking about the angle you take into the jump right before leaving the ground (tip #2 in the video)

[@boinqity4621]

@@Stawexai think theyre talking about coming in from the side of the jump pointing your skis at the end of the rail before doing the 90 degree pop. if you come on straight you risk getting a ski caught underneath the rail which is probably the worst way to fall on one lol, sprained my knee doing that

Shoutout to those with hip bruises from learning rails!

[@duels]

just hit my first rail yesterday, looks way more intimidating than it is

[@flapjackson6077]

All of of your observations are on point. I found #7 to be really interesting. As you’ve pointed out, weighting towards the front, or better yet being balanced is probably the most important aspect to riding a full rail. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that your front foot should control the speed of the slide. I haven’t ever tried a rail, but I can see that getting that front inside edge to bite as you catch the rail actually let’s you control the balance point on the rail, and helps keep the trailing ski parallel with the front ski. 👍

2:08 the ski flying by im dead

[@SterlingSigurdsen]

🤣you saw that too? I was like damn, someone's brakes just failed.

[@a3_Beats]

When my hand is un-broken im gonna try and find a tube or pipe to put in my backyard

[@Stawexa]

which foot should be fowards? (i snowboard with left foot forwards, and my strong leg is my right leg,)

[@elecreations]

It depends which way you want to rail, both work. For you left foot forward would be most natural

[@Deagle159-1]

Thanks man

[@5kywrd]

I've been hitting tubes and rails now with modest success but I don't have much control so about 75 percent of the time I land switch. Is pedaling pretty much an answer to that?

[@remarkablysquare3216]

yep, use a heel pedal to lock in and land forward

[@Cirrusog]

Love chronic 94s have same ones

[@keenanparis]

Fire vid🔥

[@pureninja1610]

What about the difference between approaching centered with one ski on each side vs approaching with both skis on one side of the rail

[@TheBagOTricks]

For any feature that sticks up above the lip, you'll want both feet on one side. I usually suggest that even for ride on features!

[@Clapped.zr1]

Do you have your camo and neon green saga pants still and if so, would you be interested in selling them?

[@DaxterAs]

Runaway ski!!

[@wafee1671]

Why absolutely no video talking about the ski cutting on the rail. I buyed my first pair of twin tip and everything i try a rail my ski cut and i dont even slide i just crash and it sucks

[@IverEivik]

5:40 someone lost their ski :(

[@lamesamebame8476]

man i tried to do it today, did it twice on a tube, but it wasn full 90 degrees rotation. I dont struggle at all with weight distribution, but its some kind of a mental block for me to rotate 90 degrees onto it, maybe i was trying it on a way too small and already melting from the hot temperatures lip

[@elecreations]

You'll get it eventually. Just keep on practicing you won't get it perfect first try.

[@blizyt1622]

W vid

[@MYLIFE-nh8qb]

how do i jump on thr roap

[@drdv_]

The biggest mistake is being a 🐱and not committing

[@ColbyDunham]

Not mentioning catching an edge is a mistake

[@TheBagOTricks]

Very true
