so today was the first day we hit an urban.

it was just a down rail but had a 6-8 ft drop on one side.

im okay at rails not the best but today was the worst day ever for me.

i just couldnt commit. and it took like 5 trys for me to actually get on. which i finnaly did.


just wondering if anyone else has dis problem

the first urban i was supposed to hit was about 5 feet tall so i was scared scared shitless of smashing up my balls but i tried to man up but we ended up getting booted out by security just before iw as gonna hit it. well have to get another shot at that one.

something about it being an "urban" tends to play with peoples minds.. if the same rails were in a park people would have no problem with them
it happens to everyone i think

its just that nobody else has hit the rails. so you dont know how it slides or anything. and its worse if there is a staircase or another rail right next to it. and there is less snow and concrete

its because you picked that rail, i think. it looks like it's not super easy to get onto, but most of all, the drop off on the left side of it discouraged you from putting any lean in that direction, you were shying away from the scary side. it might have been a better idea to try a rail that you could get onto easily enough without feeling like you would die if you committed in the direction of you'd need to go to get onto the rail.

its probably because you dont have enough speed. the more speed the easier it will to get on the rail, and grease the whole thing with out slippin off
