It doesnt matter how you hit it. If you are straddling an urban on rail and actually getting onto it thats pretty impressive.

Straddling a rail is like mongo pushing a skateboard. Everyone says it doesn’t matter, but it’s functionally regressive and looks like shit.

Do you mean hitting a rail built for urban on, or a rail with the lip the same height as the start of the rail/ My first time hitting a dfd was by straddling it. I couldn't be convinced to hit one like that now, sketchy af.

IMO you're still sliding it, I don't see why it wouldn't.

I checked the logs and receipts...it counts!

getting on from the side is really good to learn tho

He just means hitting the rail straight on, as opposed to coming on from the side "urban style"

People that straddle rails that are clearly built to urban on are just not people I want to be friends with

Now im not the most experienced parky ever but when im trying a new rail for the first time if the lip is level or close to it i ussually stradle but if its an urban hit or even a level lip its good to do it urban style. Not really much consequence either.

nah it definitely counts, regardless of how you get on it. I've always found it way way way harder to straddle rails, it's fucking scary lmao

I feel like straddling the rail is more moving parts which means more chances for failure. I just keep imagining catching my uphill ski’s inside edge. No bueno.
