Summer Urban Rails

[fcspiteri]

I'm gonna do my first urban rail and i was just wondering if people generally build a little lip before the rail to get on or just leave it flat?

 

[Andre.B]

for me it depends how steep the rail is, if its flatter i will build a small lip

 

[Jake...]

for your first one.. build a lip. it will make it alot easier.. and urbans are usually really sketchy to begin with (for me atleast) .. and for a first timer a lip can take some of that sketchyness away

 

[Alkyy]

i would deffanatly put a little lip on if its your first one ever

 

[.Brink.]

def. put a lip on there or you'll regret it haha

 

[Jake...]

skin is essential.

and how did it go

 

[lyndon]

no, i knew this guy who sold his skin to buy new skis, and a pop corn maker. he did alright, but every morning, he had to wrap his self in seran wrap to hold in his insides...

totally true story.....

 

[heFF]

so what happened to him at night when he wasn't suran wrapped?

 

[titsLOL]

umm good luck getting on to an urban rail without a lip, unless it's winter or a super steep rail you're gonna want a bit of a lip

 

[.Brink.]

hahahahaha

 

[chapz]

as everyone said, use a lip for your first time

 

[kristie]

depends on how high/steep the rail is. if the rail is low enough and steep enough, you should be able to do it with no jump.

yeh if it is like a handrail for midgets...in that case you can just ollie onto it...but chances are you are goingt o need a lip becasue it is hard to ollie super high onto an urban rail and grease it first try...the first time i was doing real rails was on an urban style lip on a down rail...the lip got so bad that at one time we were just ollieing right onto it...ollieing onto a rail from the side like that from flat isnt as easy as you think....but you do have a point if it is low enough.
