I've been trying this burly 3 kink urban rail at school-- like an inch wide...it's my first real kink urban rail....

everytime I go from the down to the flat...I fall hard onto the pavement..and it really hurts---- seems like my edges catch when I hit the flat...what do I do.

did I take too much rail for my first big urban.. I can grease big rails in the park-- but this has me lost.

Probably not a great idea for your first urba, but i ilke your admiration. Just stay forward cuz kinks always buck, keep your eyes at the end of the rail and kill it

I would probably hop a tiny bit before the flat.
