ATML Method
In Action:

Approach:

How much speed is to much?

Takeoff:

Are you lined up to do what you want to do?

Maneuver:

Can you follow the flow of the feature–how do you pull it all together?

Landing:

How do you end up on your feet and ride away from this thing?

STOMP IT!
CLAIM IT!
FINISH IT!

Do What You Can To Get It Right The First Time…
And Every Time!

ATML Rails Checklist:

Approach:

Q: How much speed is enough?
Q: How much speed is too much?

Cool-breeze speed, not jacket-flapping fast
Watch the successful people
See where others are dropping in from

Takeoff:

Q: Are you lined up to do what you want?

Your line should keep you upright
Your line should take you to the end of the feature

Rails:

Q: Which Rail Looks Friendliest To You?

You can ride right on, there’s no gap between ramp and rail
It’s wider than a coffee table
It’s lower than a skateboard
It’s shorter than a sofa

Q: What Does Grinding A Rail Feel Like?

Like sliding on ice in shoes
Like sliding on a hardwood floor in socks
