K-feds on short rails

so today I got a new rail about 3 feet tall x 8 feet long, and I simply cannot k-fed on it, and it's pissing me off. I can front 2 out, blind 2 out, front 4 out, and even front 6 out off of the same rail with ease, but can't manage to k-fed for some reason. is my rail just too short to k-fed on, or do I have bigger problems than faulty equipment? I can k fed fine on other rails, just not this one for some reason. thanks for letting me waste your guys time haha

Front 4 super early and tap the rail 2/3rds of the way through.

Its most likely just a mental thing with the front swap. I mean as long as you can pedal for the frontswap you should be able to kfed on it. Set the front swap hard and then pretty much just keep looking and bounce on the end to continue the back 2.

thanks bro, I feel like I just need to carry my momentum more through the front swap and 2 out, since they are in the same direction

So you aren't doing them as a "fake f4 out" i guess? Do you grip first and then b2 out or just kinda bounce after the swap? I think the problem is there. Good luck!

yeah, I think the issue is that I normally take my time with the front swap, then blind 2 out, almost as two separate motions. I started carrying my momentum and making the front swap and blind 2 closer together, just for this rail, and it started working. thanks everyone

Sounds like the rails too short of all you can do so far is spin out. Go slow and swap early I guess.

Last time I tried to kfed on a 10ft rail I lost a lot of skin off my shins...

go slow and land gripping the rail hard for a front swap.
