What are the Types of Rails for Snowboarders?

0

Look at any ski resort’s terrain park and you’ll plenty of rails, typically metal structures bent and twisted into all sorts of shapes. Their purpose is to offer a snowboarder the same sort of obstacles enjoyed by a street skater, although rails have progressed far beyond the shape of a simple handrail. In beginner parks, there usually is a snow-packed ramp that allows riders to ride onto the rail without much additional effort. More advanced parks typically require a jump, or “ollie” in order to get on top of the rail. Once there, a rider can add his individual style, sliding directly across the rail’s surface in line with the rail, sliding the board perpendicular to the rail facing forward or backward, even keeping just the tip of the board on the rail.
