## What this trick is

This trick is exactly what it sounds like: you slide along a rail or box on your bum. It's a fun way to mix up your obstacle riding at the cable park and always gets a reaction.



## Before you try it

You should be comfortable hitting a 50-50 on a box or rail.

## How to do it

1.  **The setup**
    Approach the rail as you would for a 50-50. Maintain good line tension and a steady edge into the feature.
2.  **The trick**
    Get onto the rail on your feet first, just like a normal 50-50. Once you're stable on the feature, quickly drop down into a sitting position on your bum. Keep your handle close and your core engaged to maintain balance as you slide.
3.  **The landing**
    As you reach the end of the feature, push off with your feet to stand up or try exit after the feature if it is tall enough to land on water.
