I really want to try a flip out of a rail, there was a perfect up rail in the park and I was too pussy to try it. Wondering how different it is to flip out of a rail, like a misty 4 or something, compared to flipping on a jump?

just try it, they come around pretty easily as long as you commit. 5'11" isn't abnormally large, just do it.

once you finish the rail, just do a flip, then land on your feet. hope this helps.

I'm tempted to try one as well, but the idea of slipping out sketches me out so hard

For mine I focused on bringing my feet up and around rather than throwing mainly with my upper body. Hope that helps!

Why would you need a really big rail to do one? I don't get it you aren't even that tall haha I'm 6'3 and can get them around fine.

I've seen misties and corks, but never an underflip.

not to continue this petty argument but i think its easier to throw a misty or rodeo because the extra 90 get incorporated into the spin easier.

And not a /claim, never thrown one off a rail...
