yeah!!
way to go bro's...
hey, just a thought.....but I think it is way eaiser to go boardslide vs. 50-50 for first time sliding... it doesn't sound like it, but trust me, coming off of a 50-50 can be way brutal.... boardsliding was what I learned first....seemed more natural....on a rail you can't get much balance 50-50, but boardslide you can feel it... and less potential for coming off on your toes and going chest first into the rail.....
way to charge it guys!!!!! |

speaking of feeling it. The PVC was pretty sticky on the skim today. I could totally feel it draggin the whole time.
In other news, we found a good place to store the rail... on the bottom of the river.  |

I agree Chanson, I think 50-50 is harder. Though, if someone insists on doing a 50-50 there are a few things that can help you. First you have to AIM the rail like you're aiming a rifle. You do this by looking at the end of the rail rather than the beginning. Second, don't lean over one way or another, just ride flat.
Of course, once you get better, all the rules go out the window and it's up to you!
A little candle wax if you don't have Silicon Spray will fix the sticky PVC.
Finishing up this coffee, then it's off to the Ski Ranch! Could hardly sleep last night, so excited! MuAHhaha! |

I'm not gangsta either...
It's a straight "slide" with your board running parallel to the rail. |
