Been skateboarding my whole life and have never successfully hit a rail on skis. This comparison makes so much sense I’m really hype to try again this winter with these tips

Love to hear it, hope it helps!

This video convinced me to pick up some "grind shoes" like soap shoes from the 90s. Works well on backyard pvc rails, you should try a pair this summer.

Great video! Just started park and this weekend i landed my first 180s and 360s on bigger jumps and landed my first rail into switch

learning rails this year and this is such a good pre line thought. it's been tough balancing after landing and figuring out how to lock/scissor but the skateboard trick blends all that together. I'm going out tomorrow I'll let you know how the new tips and tricks work out

@WILLIEtheKOYOTE Жыл бұрын

Naturally, I ride a skateboard/snowboard regular with left foot forward. In learning to ski rails, I'm having trouble because it feels much more natural to rotate left and land on the rail with my right foot forward (goofy on skateboard/snowboard), and it seems unnatural to slide that way.

@TheBagOTricks Жыл бұрын

I would say you probably want to slide the way that feels most comfortable. It's easier to learn to spin in your unnatural direction in my opinion. You may end up spinning onto rails one way and off jumps the other, but that's not a bad problem to have!

Exactly. I spin clockwise on skis but i go onto rails in counterclockwise 🤔🤔

So crazy I’m running into that same exact problem right now and I find your comment. Cheers

i imagine a downhill grassy slope or even cement if ur brave would be great to replicate down rails

Awesome video! First time picking up some twin tips which was my main setback. Super stoked to progress this season. What stinks is I live in ct, so I wont be able to ski until around December. Hope I can start off strong and get the rail over within the first 3 or 4 visits.

@TheBagOTricks Жыл бұрын

Yessir!! Good luck! I'm also patiently waiting for the season to start!

Did the video help you out? I wish I found it a week earlier as last week I went to Sundown and Okemo. I live in CT too and found this season to be awful for conditions!

@AlpineRR26 Жыл бұрын

@@SkimI3oarder1 Yeah it was horrible. I never ended up hitting a rail but I actually got comfortable on sideways boxes. Never came upon a really easy rail but there always next season. :/ I don't really know if they helped me and I didn't really do them too often but they helped give me the knowledge on what it will feel like I guess.

@SkimI3oarder1 Жыл бұрын

@Revoltilinniumycartidgiumlyso yeah the beginner rails are not that common. I have found that Killington and Mt Snow have some good progression in their terrain park. Have you ever tried skiing at Big Snow indoor ski park in New Jersey? I went there last July and they have a few features in a small hill.

@matthewstorz303 Жыл бұрын

Can you still do rails with out trick skis or do you need to have them

@tjtippet Жыл бұрын

These are so simple, but so genius. These drills actually make sense and you don't even need to be on the ski hill.

Thank you! Glad it could help!

Complete noob here, I have difficulty even sliding boxes and not just go 50/50 all the time. What could I do to simulate the weight in these drills? I have difficulty even just jumping high enough in my heavy gear and ski boots and skis to turn completely 90 degrees a lot of times. And I feel like that a lot of times throws my balance completely off and I make a mistake either undercompensating or overcompensation during that initial moment in the turn.

@TheBagOTricks Жыл бұрын

Your best bet here (and it might sound cliche) would be to start getting in the gym to build some additional strength. Even body weight workouts can help. Look up Leg Blasters, they're a solid place to start. Also, doing little ollies on groomers at the start of the season will help you get more comfortable jumping with your gear on!

@regenosis Жыл бұрын

@@TheBagOTricks Thanks for the tips! Now I just need to learn how to ollie lol. I'm not sure my skis are soft enough. They're pretty stiff

@remarkablysquare3216 Жыл бұрын

@@regenosis i got stiff skis as well and while my ollies are pretty bad i still managed to do them by really commiting on popping my hips out in front of me and bringing my shoulders up as i transferred my feet and skis forwards. The hip part is really the most important part to focus on especially at first and then add the other stuff in once you get the motion down to start getting higher. The most helpful video on ollies i found was from Ski Addiction on KZfaq, so search that up if you need more advice as well. Good luck with your ollies!
