S rails and Kinks

So I was wondering how you guys do these because I'm having a bit of trouble. Say I'm going to hit an elbow rail. Right as you get on the rail, are you looking at the kink and once you hit it you look at the end, or do you look at the end before the kink? Same thing wit S rails, do you follow the rail or are you looking at the end the whole time?

Going fast helps a lot. You notice the kinks and turns way less.

On a dfd I feel faster isn't better, you have to have the perfect kind of speed slow enough so you don't get bucked, fast enough you don't slide off, on a c rail (i have yet the honor to slide an S) fast is better

Oh yeah you're right. I was kinda spacy and thought the OP was talking about z-rail or elbow type rails for some reason.

just focus on the moment not on where you will be; say, if you jump on the srail focus on the first C, then when the second C comes lean the right way and refocus on that. otherwise you just fuck up because your mind is already at the end whilst you're still sliding the first part of the srail.

for the dubkinks: not too fast, slightly wider stance... bend your knees if it's a down-flat kink, stretch 'em if it's flat-down.

hope you kinda get what I mean
