What you will Learn in this Ski Tutorial

This tutorial provides tips and techniques for sliding down flat downs (kinked rails) on skis. It emphasizes the importance of following the shape of the rail with your knees, being soft in the front leg to prevent the rail from pushing you up, and exerting more pressure on the front foot at the kinks. The tutorial suggests approaching the rail straight and then popping onto it from the side with a gentle jump. The skis should be angled slightly down to maintain balance, and it is recommended to look at the end of the rail for better control. Counter rotation and balanced arm positioning are also mentioned as helpful techniques. The tutorial encourages practice and experimentation to master sliding down flat downs and progress to more advanced tricks.
