First of all i can bet a few of you little 12 old year fucker are going to make fun of me. cool.
Anyways i tired aggressive blading for the first time this summer, thinking it might help me with skiing. So i wanna hit this urban rail. You have to jump down a three stair then the rail is flat for about 50ft and then a few down flat downs. I would jump off the rail after maybe like 10-15ft. I just need any points. thanks.

the hardest part about rollerblading is telling your parents your gay.

Hahaha, I got about half way through the thread until I realized you were talking about rollerblades. I was about to yell at you for ski blading.

But yeah, rolling is so fucking ill'n. If you want to look at the form of hitting urban, just watch some Youtube.

are u just frontsiding it or souling it or something? if your just doing a frontside, try get into a royale so that the edge of your soul touches the rail, it will make balancing easier. and if its sloped enough I would try souling it, once you lock in its easier to balance i think

just make sure you land inbetween the wheels. I caught my wheel one time on a high rail and it hurt super bad. those mats might be a good idear...

definitly keep looking towards the end of the rail and practice a ton like people said earlier. also speed will help you balance. im not talking balls out speed but most people creep up to rails when they are starting out and that makes balancing crazy hard.

i would find a shorter rail. definitely learn souls on rails too, frontsides aren't a very stable grind.

If you dont do that, you should be fine.
But really, its kind of hard/impossible to give skating tips online without seeing the rail or how you skate/how youre messing up. The best advice is go and try until you land it.
