How To Ride Long Boxes & Rails - Snowboard Tips

[@JeeperZJ]

As someone who rode for over 10 years and is gonna be getting back into it after a few year hiatus i'll add this tip that I noticed went unmentioned in your video. Once you lock into your trick whether it be on a rail or a box, look at the end of the feature. This will help you focus on getting all the way to the end of it and you'll find it easier, with practice, to keep your balance to the end of the feature as well. If you are looking down at what's under you it's like looking down over a steep ledge, it's easier to lose your balance and it'll make you feel unsettled. Look for the end of the feature and use your sense of feel to help maintain your balance, practice makes perfect so keep repeating it over, and over, and over.

Solid point, the head on avg weighs 8lbs, lean it over your toes a bit and boom, that edges is gonna slip out.

Hit a rail today and kept going over side, happy i got on top and landed. But i noticed i kept landing where i was looking. Next time i go ima look at the end of the rail and see now long i can stay on tube 😂❤

[@quinwalker337]

Watched this vid on the chairlift. Got the confidence to hit the rails. Felt ez af. Started shredding, hitting all the not insane ones. Anyways I’m on the way to the hospital rn cus I broke my wrist.

lol hope you're wrist is fine now. same thing happened to me this season

[@490quiksilver]

Used to be able to ride park when I was younger, stopped boarding for 4 years. Now I'm scared, so watching your videos helps me feel more confident. Thx!

[@BoardArchive]

Good tips! Looked like a fun day out there

[@michaelppavlou]

You should make a video on how to ollie up on to features that are not ride on

Literally just jump. Ur board is connected to u

[@christiankeogh1864]

Hit my first rail today 🔥🔥so happy thanks man

[@adamlavie5828]

Solid vid guys. Tip to help improve your videos even further from one freestyle coach to (I assume?) another? Maybe go into a bit more detail on how you do what you're advising. You talk about using your heels and toes to help adjust on a rail, but don't say what to do with your heels and toes. To us it's obvious but to people watching the video for its intended purpose it won't be so obvious. Keep it up!:)

[@LeftLane.045]

Thanks for this vid this is gonna help me out at the slopes in a bit for sure😍

[@ellstackeradventures]

True

[@zachbrad4446]

This is a great vid, the info was on point. I can't wait to give it a go this season🤙

Awesome!

[@robcarr8505]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thank you!

[@nategans5406]

another tip I would like to add is to always look at the end of the feature, and keep your shoulders locked in the direction you want to go.

[@Julia-jz1fy]

how likely is it that i’ll break my board on a rail?

[@oz-1037]

@@Julia-jz1fy pretty unlikely. The worst I've done while boardsliding a kinked handrail I came off the opposite side and ran into the vertical support bar of the rail on the other side with my toe edge. It broke my edge n left a big dent where I hit the rail. To crack you're board in half on a board or lipslide though (if that's what you mean) would be really really difficult)

[@bosco2814]

Please make a video talk about how to hit tall/high feature. I’m struggling getting boardslide on tall rail. Couldn’t find a proper way to do a Ollie, then transfer the weight on to one foot landing.

[@robeowe]

Hey Kevin, do you have any tips for doing a boardslide?

[@martzlargo4695]

Yo kevin, just a heads up, I think the Beanie link is might be the wrong link

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thanks! Think I fixed it.

[@ellstackeradventures]

Good to know

[@jiajianhou426]

Should you use a softer park board or a stiffer all-mountain board for these? Does it make a difference?

[@oz-1037]

Softer for sure. Especially for presses

[@patrickgorham570]

Must go buy snowboard pro camp merchandise....

[@SnowboardProCamp]

haha, you will buy the merch...

[@jareku7823]

Yo Kevin, why am I see a snowboardprocamp logo just showing on my phone when I watching these video? It pop up for e second and gone.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Yo! I think KZbin fixed it!

[@zach1083]

[@ellstackeradventures]

Good views

[@justinrock825]

How are the nike boots compared to the Van's? Review?

[@davidcisneros1075]

What can you practice on ground to get the movements right?

[@Frank-pg7xx]

Does the speed change when you jump on or is it consistent with the speed that you have when you engage?

[@chaseheyman7426]

If you jump on you will probably gain speed. However, some rails can be icier then others and depending on the conditions you might slow down or speed up. If you follows these tips though and dont get scared about the faster speed you will be fine jumping and gain confidence as time goes on

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Is it possible to catch on edge while riding a box? Should more weight be placed on one side of the board while sliding the box or can you clear it totally flat?

[@rospumegaswag]

just ride it flat, only thing usually which tyou catch edge on a box is the snow, not the box. if the speed is too low you catch edges sometimes

[@Lolaroflwaffle]

Anybody have tips for dealing with the slow effect on boxes? I try to hit em with speed and the massive drag always gets me so close to falling over the front of my board.

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Hmmm, that could be either be the feature being sticky or your snowboard. Most of the features in Whistler slide very smoothly.

[@Lolaroflwaffle]

@@SnowboardProCamp I (was) riding at whitetail resort, Pennsylvania, using a Gilson Duel. I have heard some of the better snowboarders would never use that type of board but I don't see a reason why it would stick to a box. Probably just the box surface causing it.

[@neil_b4_zod]

Need more wax maybe?

[@Lolaroflwaffle]

@@neil_b4_zod Been a consistent problem before/after professional waxing. I was hoping that was the issue before hand

[@neil_b4_zod]

@@Lolaroflwaffle if it's not wax or just the box you were on, then it would have to be the type of base that snowboard is running. Really no other things I can think of that should be hindering your slide.

[@jackflicker8577]

what about sticky rails? Is there a good way to account for that when you first hit it?

[@chaseheyman7426]

Sticky rails can be annoying. A good way to account for that would be practice hitting the rail straight on (50-50) so you get a feel for the stickiness. Also you can rub some snow across the rails to make it less sticky.

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Hi Kevin. Have you ever caught an edge while board sliding a feature? This Scares me to death! All the best, Rich in Sweden.

[@ethanbrady2620]

I have a pretty stiff board (deep thinker) and am wondering the pros and cons of it in the park. I know it's more of an all mountain / power type of board, but what is it good / bad at in the park? Thanks

[@EroticMotionShufflin]

Definitely get that jib board bro. You need to be able to bend your board with ease when your on obstacles

[@prlolosto7396]

My eyes hurt Staph

[@michaeljohn5772]

When hitting a box or rail sideways does your foot need to be directly on top of the feature or does it not really matter?

[@SnowboardProCamp]

It can be good to have your foot directly over top, but you don't have to.

[@michaeljohn5772]

Cheers 🤙

[@oz-1037]

For 270s and pretzels out having you're foot over the rail can help a lot. At least for me it does. Front foot for pretzels and back for 270s

[@Foxyfreedom]

How do you go sideways though and then land it?

[@xxnake]

Winter come back pls

[@hallo9586]

1) Get enough speed. 2) Fall.

[@coco33690]

I sent it off a huge rail at the beginning of the season and completely wiped out. I’ve been scared ever since.

[@aprcuulestdude9076]

Just did my first one today and the same thing happened. I decided to go very small and work up. First boxes because they don’t take much balancing and then Small rails. Hope you overcame the fear.

[@coco33690]

@@aprcuulestdude9076 thank you!! and that’s sick!! my seasons starts back up again on thursday and i think imma do what you did and take it slow.

[@SidiNic]

Yo, the logo keeps flashing up during the vid 😁 Anyway good tips!

[@SnowboardProCamp]

Thank you! I think the weird flashing logo has gone away!

[@AceSpec]

My biggest head game fear is catching an edge on a box or feature, so I’ve never tried turning, just keeping as flat as possible. How likely is it to catch and fall on these things?

[@ez_breezy7406]

Pretty likely if you shift your weight to the way you are sliding. I’ve heard of a lot of park riders “detuning” their boards. Basically they round out their edge on both sides of the board by filing it down so that the edge isn’t as sharp and is much less likely to dig into the features. Haven’t tried it yet personally but seems really smart if you’re mainly hitting park.

[@fishingwithvince8378]
