So NS im building and hitting my first urban tomorrow. Its probably going to be a Down Flat Down and just a Flat rail.

Any tips to make it sick and not fail?

Well if you are going to do urban.. You will most definitely need to wear a 4XL tee MINIMUM and XL Pants! Other than that, keep your eyes on the end of the rail. And be sure to make a good set up, dont just throw a bunch of soft poweder down and expect to be able to jump off of it. Bring water if you need to to pack it down.

with the water....don't believe the hype in the videos of kids filling their mouths with water and spraying it over the lip. this doesn't work that well and only effects a half inch or so deep of the snow. the lip doesn't hold up and crushes in, especially with skis and their small surface area. soak the lip by pouring water over the entire area, wait a minute, put some salt (rock salt) on it, wait another couple minutes and you should be ready. this all is in the idea that the temperature is below freezing.

hope this isn't a troll.
