Question

I can slide a box easily and i know i can slide a rail im just scared thats all thats stoping me because iv takin some bad falls or rail does anyone have any tips on sliding rails physicly or mentaly

Answer 1

The biggest thing is selfconfidence, you alreadly know you can do so just go for it.  once you do it, know you can do it again.

pick a short, low (way below crotch level) rail at your ski hill.  set up for it straight on with medium speed.  dont go to slow or it will take you a long time to slide it and harder to balance.  stay in a low,balanced stance and keep the rail centered underyour boots.  Wear a helmet and good luck.

Answer 2

Voo-Doo boards are good to help practice the balance before getting on the slopes.  

Just make sure to get the rail under your boots and enjoy the ride!

Answer 3

You can make a rail for your home with PVC pipe mounted to a two by four

Set this rail up and a low hight and practice sliding it then when you get the hang of it slide a rail at your local ski area

(the metal rail will slide different than the PVC pipe so be careful your first time on a metal rail)
