Frontside/Backside question on box/rail

Avatar

By urbans you mean round down hand rails?
Or any feature actually which is actually urban location?

Yeh I found FS lips than BS boards once I got into to them. Easier to use angulation of your board to lock in. And because when you approach the feature its always in front of you, where BS board its behind you.

Yep! Thats it haha LOL
I know what Im doing wrong. Not leaning downhill enough with the rail, or bending my body over too much at the hip on flat rails.
And not enough counter rotation of the upper body

Urban Style Rails = Street Style Rails = Side Entry Rails = Any Rail Feature that you have to jump onto from the side.

Same thing different names.
