It'll be tough, it would have to be a perfect rail. A flat-down, with a fairly steep but long down section.

Remember that if you do attempt it, as if you were doing one off a knuckle, there will be a lot less grip than on snow, so theres a risk of slipping.

But you'd have to throw it hard i reckon to get it round in time.

This thread is full of fail

Why a flat down? He's not talking about a flip-up hes talking about a flip OFF of the rail, in which case an uprail or something would be a lot easier.

How does having frontflips on lock help you with flips off rails? I dont think ive ever seen a frontflip off anything other than a box.

dont hate, your a fail for bringing that to this thread.

I dont have any suggestions about how to do that flip, but get it on video when you try and post it.

??? yeah, okay, front flip off of a down? smoke crack lately?

and robbie, I don't think it's going to be easy for you to front flip off a rail, even if it's a big ass tall one. you're not facing foward on the rail, so you won't have the moment for a front flip. maybe a misty. i wouldn't try it though, you're gonna kill yourself. why don't you just take your front flip skills and use them to learn misty's and corks on jumps, that'll keep you busy. also just work on your switch shit, you seemed to be having a good time with that at the rail jam

of a rail eh... maybe what they had at whistler in one of the casg sundays videos. the big cannon box, but make that one of the big round bars, long gap, you know you would have to do a frontflip 90, you cant land sideways

I can't do them but if you were going to say a misty 4 off I would make sure I have blind 4 outs pretty good.
Also i would learn how to misty off jumps.

hey man i learned them this year and i have to say they aren't too bad. You really just have to commit to it all the way or else you'll fuck your shit up. I'd say your best bet is to throw a misty/lincoln-90 off the rail, and bring your arm up from behind you to set the rotation if that made any sense. But here's a video i posted that has me doing one, not sure when it is. https://newschoolers.com/web/content/viewvideo/id/270430/cat/top/

just dig your  front edge into the rail really hard and it will start the lincoln for you and then you just need to go with it.

For all the guys busting on the thread creator for mentioning front flip, you guys have totally lost all creativity.  You could front or back flip off of a rail and 90 out of it.  That would be a sick trick.  It would look like a stock back or front but the direction of the flip would be across the fall line like a Lincoln.  What's so awesome about the progression of the sport is that every time you think something's impossible, someone goes out and stomps it.  Within the next 2 years, I bet someone back flips over the flat of a battle ship rail and lands on the down.  There is definitely someone on this site with the skills and juevos to do it. 

If i were trying to figure out how to lincoln off of a rail and 90 out, I would do it off of a diving board first.  Set up on the board sideways lincoln off and then incorporate the 90.

I've always liked your posts, and because of this I will try both a Lincoln and a front flip even though I'll probably eat shit doing it.
