any tips??

Slide at a slight angle (30 degrees) first. This is a crooked grind. Then increase the angle to 45 and then 90 degrees. Look at the end of the box or rail to line up. Keep feet shoulder width apart and bend the knees and ankles for balance. Keep skis relatively flat. good luck.

@SnowAndWaterSkiing I think I lean back to much. I feel like I'm fighting myself when I'm trying to lean forward and get my weight centered. My feet start to slip out from under me as soon as I try to turn anymore than 30 degrees. I've had a few nice bails. Any tips for my particular issue? cheers.

@jeroliver Go to our website roberts ski dot com under technical articles and look at the grinding rails on skis article. Look at Figures 4A and 4B which show how to keep your weight forward in the direction of travel. Practice on a small rail as shown in Figure 5. Keep the knees bent and feet about shoulder width apart. Angle the lead ski upward slightly if this is comfortable. Look at the end of the rail for proper line up. Good luck.

Look at the end of the rail before you jump for a good line up. At the jump roatate your skis sequentially first the trailing ski and then the leading ski. Keep your upper body facing along the rail. Stay low with knees and ankles bent or flexed. This is a very difficult hit. It takes practice. You are correct practicing on a small rail first. good luck. C. Roberts
