Since trick tip and ask turpin cult are not active, I decided to ask here. I have a problem hopping on down rails urban. I almost always get my tips caught somehow or mess up in some random way. Any tips on how to do this or is it just commitment?

Yes. Exactly, I could do hop onto the dub fine but I ate enormous amounts of shit on the 36' down. And....invaders aren't too poppy.

for the down handrail you need more speed than you think, just kinda pop up harder then swing the skis

for most urban you want enough speed, but instead of just popping and doing a 90 degree turn, you want to kind of lift your inside foot first over the rail then bring your other foot to the right position.
