How do you do a kink rail?

Question

What would be a good way to overcome my fear and get it down?

Answer 1

Session non kinked rails for a while.   I actually just hit my 1st kink last weekend.  

This is how I got over my fear.   I just went with some friends that are betta than me and that hit the kinks. They just kept telling me to man up and just hit it and id be fine. I watched them for a while, and after being called a p*s*y so many times i was forced to hit it  SO i manned up and just  hit it.   Id start on something you can ride on as oposed to one you have to jump on.   We made one for my backyard. Thats definetly a better place to learn instead of takin right to the streets/.  Good luck dude.

Answer 2

Just commit dude.  You've gotta commit 100% if you wanna land it.  You can't have any fear going into it. If you half-a** it, you're gonna crash. Any fear that you have, you just gotta put it in the back of your head.  

If you're a good rider and you know how to ride regular rails, a kink will be no problem as long as you commit. Visualize your trick and replay what it's going to look like over and over in your head, and then do it.  It's 90% mental.

I good way to do would be to 50-50 it.  That way tou don't have to worry about catching an edge on a kink. Make sure your center of gravity is low and centered above your board.  Keep your leading shoulder pointed at the end of the rail, and make sure your always looking at the end of the rail.

Once you've got that down, try steezing it up. Try half-cabbing into it or spinning out. Or both!!  You can always progress.
