Ok, so I have been wanting to do some urban rail set-ups in the park for awhile now but i dont know how to exactly get on to them.  Do i just pop and turn and land on them or what? please help.  Also i want to know if not having my skis center mounted will matter when doing them. 
+++k for good answers

center mounting is definitely better imo but not necessary. as long as you are comfortable on all other rails you should be alright. my advise would be to make sure when you pop onto regular rails that you are popping, getting above the rail and then doing a clean 90. If so you should have no problem hopping on to the urban style rail. If you are just carving into a little 90 onto regular boxes and rails you wont make it. if you not sure, try it out on some rails you are comfy with first.
hope that helps

make sure youre popping up as well as out off the lip, popping out (down the rail) will make your contact point with the rail lower, so you dont need to ollie so high.  DO NOT do the one foot at a time ollie.  that only breeds bad habits that wont help you on bigger rails
