How the hell would it be easier to lipslide onto a high urban than a regular rail in the park??

i htink he is comparing lip from reg, not a high urban to a park rail

i think lip slide is easier to stay balanced, but alot scarier.

do you know what a lip slide is? Depending on which way you slide, gettin on one side of the rail is lip the other is just regular or "street style" or "heel side".

i nutted myself so hard doing a lipside onto a down bar, urban, this week, but it was because the bar swayed about a foot side to side, haha i landed with my front ski down first pushed the bar out from under me then ended up opening up, then my skis crossed around a post holding the rail up....bad times. But i find it easier to lip 270 onto down bars than normal 270...idk why put i alwys nut myself doing normal 270s

it completely depends on how much of a jump there is onto the rail, if its a bigger jump than i would rather lipslide but if thers no jump than i would rather do it regular.

When you get onto a rail street style, and you go on from the leftside, sliding right foot up, or going on from the right side sliding left foot up.

i tried lipslides the first time the other night on a down bar and nearly nutted myself first time but found it easier to pop on, but im still 100 times more confident just going on regular streetstyle.

I find it's easier to get on with lipslide, just cause of the way your knees can bend and get your tails over, then straighten again and balance.
