Need Help on KINKED Rails

Hey so I've been able to do just straight rails and a few mellow curved rails but I'm having a hard time doing a rail with a kink in it. Please help, any advice is appreciated
 
Make sure to look at the end of the rail and keep a shoulder width apart stance when sliding...you just kinda absorb it. You will know what I mean when you do it. gl and also check the search bar I remember one of these threads a couple months back!
 
Just keep practicing, eventually you will figure it out. The first day I learned rails I started on a flat 3 inch diameter tube and at the end of the day completing the dfd
 
I hit started to hit some DFDs and flat downs in like February closer to the end of the season and thought they were the scariest thing until I actually hit it. I waited 4 hours to hit a DFD and once I did I hit it every lap, probably 30 times total that day. (I have a tow rope so I get really quick laps). It was my first season so I was just as nervous as you probably are right now. You basically obsorb it with your legs. I got thrown off to the side because I was a bit uncommitted and didn't know what to expect, but it rides exactly what it looked like, if you don't try it you don't know what it feels like or what you are missing. You may find that it's way more fun that regular rails. GL OP.
 
Make sure you're not narrow-stanced when you get to the down-flat kink. If you are, you'll definitely get bucked.
 
i assume you're skiing over it, so if that is the case lock on like you are going to do a front swap right away, usually fixes it

Right when I learned to do single kinked rails I tryed a tall quad kink...I was planning on just doing part and falling off early but the first time I got on I got scared that if I tried moving off I'd fall off bad or nit myself so I just stayed on into the whole thing and ate shit at the bottom though... It was pretty gnarly tho
 
All of them above me are right. And just make sure that your knees are not stiff, but move with the rail. It#s not a perfect description, but I don#t know how to explain it in English.
