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
- The setup Approach the rail as you would for a 50-50. Maintain good line tension and a steady edge into the feature.
- 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.
- 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.
