Step 1
Remember, and never forget, that sudden impact with any immovable object at a high velocity can, should and will cause severe injury or even death. Attempt this trick only if you are an advanced rider.
-
Step 2
Watch other people riding the rail slide device before you attempt it.
-
Step 3
Start out riding on the outside of the wake, and line up just outside the rail-slider.
-
Step 4
Bunny hop before you reach the rail-slider. Begin your jump several feet before the rail to ensure that you land near the beginning of the rail-slider.
-
Step 5
Ollie up and turn your board 90 degrees, so that you land sideways, with one foot on each side of the rail-slider, which should be centered between your feet.
-
Step 6
Bend your knees and stay low to keep your center of gravity over your board.
-
Step 7
Keep your chin up and your eyes on the horizon line while you are sliding.
-
Step 8
Release one hand from the rope handle (the hand that is normally toward your board's tail) as you reach the end of the rail-slider.
-
Step 9
Bend your knees just a little extra as you launch off the end of the rail-slider.
-
Step 10
Turn back 90 degrees to point your nose (or your tail) forward.
-
Step 11
Land and continue riding.
