commit.

what are you having trouble with? They are just like any other rail with kinks. Bend your knees a little to give with the kink.

maybe come in to it a bit slower so you have more time to focus on absorbing the kinks as opposed to flying off

i've always found with tube kinks you really have to be weighted towards the side you jump on or else you just fall off on the flat cause the first kink with any kind of momentum to the side will throw you that way, nah mean?

same here. usually takes me a few tries but once you get the feel for the kinks i find it gets easier. and make sure you jump completely 90 otherwise you will just slide off

yah, just go in with good speed, commit, and lock the fuck into that rail, then just bend your knees on the kinks, you'll get it bro.

Just like eheath said. Some kinked rails when i get on I try to get on with my toe pieces right on the rail. That way when you get to the kink you will be directly over it when you get to the kink

I'm one of the few who actually like tube rails better. You can flow with them more and pretzel more. Flats force you to stay perfectly flat.
