when trying to do one of these Click for larger image do you come at the box or rail at an angle or do you go strait on?

i certainly cannot do one that well, but i usually go up to the rail the same way i always do. its a comfort thing; do whatever you feel most content with.

you can do it from both of the ways u mentioned, but if u get into that position when you hit the rail like you normally would, it is far more controlled and you aren't "forced" into doing it!

I think I do take a bit more of an angle in, especially on urban entry features. You just kinda gotta get low.

It' s fucking hard to come on straight and slide that far out. I start with my heels on the edge and just slide it out as much as I can hold

hit it urban, straight looks funky. then don't really "lock in" or whatever and you'll start to go on the tail and slide it out.. It's more of something that you feel than explain.. They're odd feeling at first

i go on normally and just kinda push my feet away from me. kinda like, drop the tips a little and put my weight back. i dont know if that makes sense, but it makes sense to me. so thats all that FUCKING matters

Definitely just hop on at a slight angle and lean the fuck back. Works like a charm

i agree with most. just leaning back and feeling out the balance point. the hardest part im having difficulty visualizing is how to come out of this position and off the rail?
