Confidence is a big part of hitting your first rails in the park. By practice off the snow you'll get an idea of what feels like to get on a rail, and you'll have the time and repetition to master the movements. This will all build your confidence and prepare you for rails on the snow. For off snow training I'm using a half foam roller, which is 3 inches tall, 36 inches long and made of dense foam. The first thing you'll learn when practicing on the roller, is how to commit to getting on. You'll learn how far away to set your board up from the roller. Also, how much to jump to get your board on, without coming up short or going over. You'll also learn how you can use your edges to catch the roller and rock your board on flat. By practicing off the snow you can get used to doing 5050 both frontside and backside. Backside 5050 are sometimes neglected on the snow because it's harder to jump on the rail with it behind you. But off snow you can get used to the feeling and build your confidence for the park. Next, you can challenge your balance on the roller, by seeing how long you can stay on. Use toe and heel pressure to adjust your weight and keep yourself on the roller. A balanced body position is to have you knees bend, back straight and hands over your boards nose and tail. The best part of off snow training is the repetition. On snow you may only have one or two tries to hit a rail, where as off snow you can hit it as many times as you want. The repetition will build your muscle memory so you'll know what it feels like when you get to park. The repetition will also help you to build the strength in your legs for jumping on, and the strength in the your core for keeping yourself balanced. I hope you guys get the chance to give this a try and start training for rails. The next video planned for the off season training series will cover training for presses and butter.
