Curved Rail Preference

I used to only hit C and S rails that curve to the left at first (I am right foot forward), but recently I have been hitting an S tube that curves to the right, and leaning back is so much more satisfying to me now when getting on the rail. Do you have a preference? I have a feeling some people have strong opinions on this.

Right foot forward with initial left curve is noice cause you get to relax at the end of the rail and let the curve boost you.

Hitting a s or c rail or box that is curved to the left right foot first just looks weird to me. Depends how it’s setup on but if you have to jump over to get onto it, it looks better to lip on..or just hit it left foot forward to get that back leaning

I agree, but a lip on right foot forward left curving c rail looks better than a regular right curving one imo
plus it kind of kicks you into a b2 motion which is never a bad thing

I'm a basic bitch, I like to lean back.

S rails are a million times easier if you can hop on from the outside of the first C

Can someone explain to me how to hit one I fall off early on the first curve every time. I can hit rails with kinks and shit but I can never get a damn s rail

More speed definitely helps.

I’ve tried them with a lot of speed I just can’t seem to get them even though I can do any C rail. I’m probably just bad.
